Chapter 1 (Part 2): Here's Your Mission and Tech, Get a Life

Blitz awoke the next morning with a slight headache. "What happened last night?" Blitz asks feeling something soft against his bare chest. 'What is that against my…' Blitz thinks before his eyes snap wide open. 'Oh shit.' He thinks as he sees Spitfire against him. 'I'm so dead with the girls.'

"Oh awake already. I was enjoying using you as a pillow." Spitfire says.

"We didn't do that did we?" Blitz asks.

"Oh don't worry your pretty little head over it, we didn't. I just removed your armor so you wouldn't mess up my bed and so we could sleep comfortably on it." Spitfire says.

Blitz sighs in relief as he lays back down. "Thank goodness. There goes the edict if it happened."

"Oh speaking of which, tonight we will hammer out the rest of our bet." Spitfire says smirking as she held him down with her forehooves.

Blitz gulps as he tries to remember what it was. "And what was that?"

"I get to chase you during the edict and you get no stealth technology." She whispers into his ear.

Blitz looks to her now calm. "Oh is that it, that's easy."

"In a limited area and I can still fly." Spitfire says.

Blitz shrugs. "Still do it, do I get to choose the limited area?"

"Yeah, but no armor or any other tech or even magic." Spitfire says starting to get Blitz to sweat.

Blitz groans. "I'm dead." He then remembers a spot. "Everfree forest."

"You get to pick, but we will hammer all the details later, after all you got to get ready and train the cadets." Spitfire says smiling.

Blitz grins. "Yeah, the fresh meat, want to join?"

"Nah, you got them under control." Spitfire says letting him up.

Blitz sighs as he sits up. "And you, what are you going to do?"

"The most boring part of the job, paperwork." Spitfire says getting out of the bed.

Blitz chuckles. "Just let me know and I'll burn them and get rid of the evidence."

"I wish that would work." Spitfire says starting to put on her uniform jacket.

Blitz smiles. "Do you know how long Soarin ran this sex club on base?"

"A month without my notice, now it's over and Soarin is on latrine duty for three months." Spitfire says.

Blitz chuckles. "So you knew, but you needed proof, didn't you?"

"Maybe I will tell you when I catch you." Spitfire says smirking.

Blitz sighs. "Better get ready for the chase. When does it start?"

"We will discuss that later tonight. By the way, I find your eyes to be beautiful." Spitfire says before leaving him alone.

Blitz just looks confused. "What's with my eyes and being beautiful?" He said grabbing a mirror. "They don't look that great."

"Okay that's enough for today." Blitz says as the sun sets. Every cadet pants and collapses on the ground when they hear that. "Now you can head to your bunks and go to sleep early today." He said making them look relieved. "For tomorrow will be the worst day of your life. Because you are going to start learning the moves after each one of you experiences them." He said now making them lay down again.

"Want me to help tomorrow?" Fleetfoot asks.

Blitz smiles as he looks to her. "Want to be beat up?"

"No, I'm asking if you want me to help beat them up a bit." Fleetfoot says smirking at him.

Blitz chuckles. "Okay, I can take that."

"Good. The captain wanted to talk to you after you were done right?" Fleetfoot asks.

Blitz sighs. "Yeah, now excuse while I disappear for a bit." He said before leaving.

"Can I join Mr. Apple?" Fleetfoot whispers.

Blitz smiles lightly as he looks back at her. "Only if you want me."

"I guess I could do worse and it would keep those love crazed fans away a bit." Fleetfoot says in a way making Blitz unable to tell if she was joking or not.

Blitz sighs and walks with Fleetfoot as they enter Spitfire's office. "Done with those papers or you need my flamethrower and a shovel?" Blitz asks humorously.

"I'm done and is that Fleetfoot joining us?" Spitfire asks.

Blitz nods grimly. "Yeah, figure might as well."

"So want in on our little bet Fleetfoot?" Spitfire asks.

Fleetfoot grins. "And what's that?"

"Well last night we made a bet. If I can catch him in a limited amount of time he will concede to me on the edict." Spitfire says.

Fleetfoot looks to Blitz grinning. "Really? He betted on his future marriage life?"

"Yes, isn't that right, Apple Blitzkrieg?" Spitfire asks.

Fleetfoot looks a little surprised as Blitz removed his helmet. "Blitzkrieg? Weren't you the one who was reported to work with Cross? Wait that means that you…?"

"One in the same and Spitfire, you mind not yelling it to the entire base?" Blitz asks.

Spitfire chuckles. "Sure, just let me kiss you in the end and I'll think about it."

"Ah, but that is just it, you gotta catch me to get that." Blitz says.

Spitfire smiles. "Then you better start running, because I'm going to start at the Zecora's home. Run my little stallion, run."

"Yeah, yeah." Blitz says.

"Yeah, you will be running from both of us." Fleetfoot says.

Blitz grins putting back on his helmet. "Great, later." He said before jumping out of the window, which was right next to the broken one.

"You still have to train the cadets for several more days!" Spitfire yells.

Fleetfoot looks to her captain. "You do realize that you made it sound like it's now, right?"

"I know, I just want to mess with our little stallion is all." Spitfire says.

Fleetfoot chuckles. "You want to go after him now?"

"No, he won't leave and I expect him to be back soon." Spitfire says.

Fleetfoot nods. "Okay then, what do you want to do now?"

"When he gets back I might bring out my cooler again so we can finish the bottle." Spitfire says.

Fleetfoot gasps. "Your stash. You don't let anypony touch that, but you." Fleetfoot says.

Spitfire smiles. "I know, now get back to work little missy."

Fleetfoot sighs. "Yeah, yeah." She said walking out.

Spitfire watches as she leaves. "Hey." She started, making her stop. "I'm sorry about him. He looks like a good guy."

"It's ok. I just have to move forward and not let myself be chained to the past. But if you're really sorry, how about letting me stay for a drink with you two, I mean we will be sharing him." Fleetfoot says smiling at her.

Spitfire smiles back. "Sure, just don't go home drunk, what am I saying of course you will."

"You could always let me share your bunk." Fleetfoot adds.

Spitfire grins. "Why, want to double team him?"

"Maybe or maybe I want a reenactment of when we were cadets." Fleetfoot says licking her lips.

Spitfire chuckles. "You really are hungry, aren't you?"

"Maybe or maybe I'm joking." Fleetfoot says.

Spitfire smiles. "Don't deny you didn't like it."

"I would keep playing, but I noticed the door opened slightly and closed." Fleetfoot says feeling around for something.

Spitfire leans back and sighs. "Probably Soarin still hurt over the fact I destroyed his sex ring."

"Where are, ah hah!" Fleetfoot yells as she seemed to grab onto something not visible.

Spitfire smiles. "What's on the line for you?"

"So our little stallion up for a drink?" Fleetfoot asks.

Blitz smiles nervously decloaking. "Maybe?"

"Come on, show me that pretty face." Fleetfoot says sweetly while smiling at him.

Blitz sighs and takes off his helmet. "There, happy?"

Fleetfoot kisses his cheek. "Yes, by the way love your golden yellow eyes." Fleetfoot says.

Blitz looks to her weird with a blushed expression. "What is it about my eyes? I never got that."

"Have you ever seen another pony with golden yellow eyes before?" Fleetfoot asks.

Blitz thinks for a few. "I don't know."

"Exactly, your eye color is so rare its non-existent." Fleetfoot says.

Blitz raises an eyebrow. "Really now, I wonder how I got this?"

"From your birth parents, now come on you two, don't make me drink this strong stuff alone." Spitfire says taking out a half empty bottle from her cooler.

Fleetfoot drops Blitz and drops down on the couch. "Come on Blitz." She said tapping the spot next to her as she took a glass.

"Ok, but only a few glasses at most. I don't want to wake up like I did this morning." Blitz says joining the two.

Spitfire sits on the other side of Blitz as Fleetfoot snuggles into his other side. "Don't worry." She said filling up his glass. "You can get drunk off of us."

"By the way, how many glasses did I drink last night?" Blitz asks.

"Six and I drank one and a half and slipped the other half into your glass." Spitfire says handing out the glasses.

Blitz sighs and leans back in his seat. "Why did I do that?"

"Because you weren't paying attention as you told me your story." Spitfire says pouring him a drink.

Blitz places the glass down and still leans back while the mares leans against him as they drink. "Don't want to take the chance again."

"Don't worry, between the three of us, there is only enough for three glasses full, at most of one pony." Spitfire says.

Blitz takes the glass and drowns it in one go. "That's a little better."

"You have a high tolerance. I let some of the other Wonderbolts try this once, most were very intoxicated after the second round. You took five." Spitfire says.

"Oh, I remember that holiday party." Fleetfoot says taking a drink.

Blitz shrugs. "I had worse."

"Oh wow, I want to try that." Fleetfoot says excited.

Blitz smiles as he leans his head back and closes his eyes. "Okay, you want to try sitting in the bathroom for two whole days while having immense diarrhea with such a smashing headache you will be in a coma like trance, be my guest."

"Please don't tempt her. Fleetfoot would do that with how adventurous she is." Spitfire says.

Blitz chuckles. "That's her choice."

"Oh, you are going to be such a good husband for me." Fleetfoot says filling up Blitz's glass.

Blitz sighs. "I don't know about good. I don't know if I can take care about you girls later."

"No need, you forget it's us mares who take care of the stallions." Spitfire says smiling at him.

Blitz looks to her. "Do the mares really take care of stallions or forget about them later?"

"You really have been gone a long time. We are a mostly female dominated society. You being a stallion and showing you have a lot of talent and getting more and more famous makes you highly desirable and the former unless the marriage falls apart." Spitfire says taking another drink.

Blitz groans. "Great, so will you forget me soon?"

"Oh not a chance." Spitfire says moving into his lap. "After all, you save our lives twice now." Spitfire whispers into his ear before nibbling on it lightly.

Blitz tries to stifle the moan. "But what about other mares?"

"You think they will forget such a fine specimen as yourself?" Spitfire says stopping.

Blitz sighs in relief. "Maybe after a while when they get bored."

"Don't sell yourself so short." Fleetfoot leaning into him with a drunken blush.

Blitz looks away from them. "After what I'm going through and my job, they probably will once they realize what I do."

"What, bounty hunting?" Fleetfoot asks.

Blitz nods. "Dangerous job."

"Well I know the full truth and I haven't left yet." Spitfire says.

Blitz smiles a little as he looks back at her. "Yeah, I guess you haven't." He said placing his hooves on her hips.

"Oh, want to call off our little bet and jump straight to it?" Spitfire asks.

Blitz chuckles as he moves his hooves to her cutie mark. "Maybe, but I do have to know how you handle me and are good enough for my taste."

"Oh so forward. I think the better question is can you handle me? I don't go easy on a stallion I like." Spitfire says.

Blitz sighs as he wraps a leg around Fleetfoot. "I can handle a lot of things."

"Oh does this mean I get both of you tonight?" Fleetfoot asks drunkenly after finishing a fourth glass.

Blitz shakes his head and puts her glass away. "I think you had enough."

"Oh, then is it time for bed?" Fleetfoot says with a drunken smile.

Blitz smiles as he looks to and just let her rest her head on his shoulder. "Nah, but you can."

"Oh such a caring husband." Fleetfoot says as she wraps her hooves around him.

Blitz grins slightly. "Maybe I'll consider having you two if you can keep the suits. Kinda sexy."

"Oh, I think we can do that for you. My sexy stallion." Spitfire says.

Blitz chuckles a little and looks to Fleetfoot. "Yeah, considering they go around the right places."

"Oh, you're such a bad stallion." Fleetfoot says.

Blitz sighs. "Only if you want me to be, besides," He moves the leg around Fleetfoot to her flank. "This is one skintight suit. I don't even have something like this."

"Oh enough teasing, take me to bed." Fleetfoot says.

Blitz chuckles. "Okay, you can go to bed and we can stay awake." He says, letting go of her.

"Bring her to my room. We can continue this there." Spitfire says kissing his cheek before getting off of him and placing his helmet back on him.

Blitz smiles and lifts Fleetfoot over his shoulder and carries her to Spitfire's bedroom as she talks about the many things he can do to her. Blitz just smiles and gets into Spitfire's room and lays her down into the bed and lets her cuddle up with the sheets as he leaves and heads to the office and sits down again.

"So where were we?" He asks taking off his helmet.

"Here." Spitfire said coming out of another door with her suit on. "You did say like skintight suits." She said coming over and sitting on his lap again.

"I do, but tell me do you like me in full armor?" Blitz asks.

Spitfire shrugs. "As long something metal doesn't poke, I want something soft to poke me." She said wiggling her hips on his lap.

"Ok, ok, I get the message." Blitz says starting to take his armor off.

Spitfire licks her lips as he takes off his armor and he sits down again. "Sexy. So what are you going to do?" She said sitting in his lap again.

Blitz shrugs and places his hooves on her again, this time on her shoulder and moves down slowly. "I don't know, what do you want?"

Spitfire giggles as she feels him moves his hooves on her sides. "Well, I do like kisses, but first tell me about these." Spitfire says touching his scarred chest.

"Ah, the final mark Bloody Mary gave me. I thought that was healed." Blitz says.

Spitfire raises an eyebrow. "Bloody Mary huh? Was she that bad?"

"And worse, she earned the title Queen of Vampires from her acts. Legends say that her actions became so vile, Dracula himself killed her to stop them." Blitz says.

Spitfire sits down completely on his lap as his hooves ended up on her hips again around her cutie mark. "You are okay, right?"

"For that, not yet. I may have some alcohol in me but I'm not that drunk. But I will give you consolation prize." Blitz says before kissing her cheek.

Spitfire smiles. "Aw, so what are you going to do with those hooves of yours?"

"Maybe you will find out on your bed." Blitz says.

Spitfire giggles. "Isn't Fleetfoot on that bed on mine?"

"So?" Blitz asks.

"She was right, you're a bad stallion and I'm liking it." Spitfire says.

Blitz smiles. "Yeah, I'm starting to learn how to at least please a mare. Though I'm still bad at it."

"Don't worry…" Spitfire starts before getting off and walking towards her bed, shaking her flank at him suggestively. "I'll teach you." Spitfire finishes looking back at him with a smile.

Blitz chuckles before getting up and following her. "Just don't go too far, I still want to save myself."

"Don't worry, I'll be gentle." Spitfire says getting in the bed.

Blitz sighs as he sits down in the bed with Fleetfoot snoring on the side. "Good, because I can also do this." He said before touching a certain spot on her suit right between her legs, hitting it slightly. Spitfire yelps a bit from the sudden touch, moving into Fleetfoot who latches onto her.

Blitz just laughs as he lays right by her and wraps his hooves around her as best he could. "Now who's in the middle?"

"Nothing new for me. Reminds me of my cadet days, only difference was there was no stallions." Spitfire says.

Blitz smiles. "Well now you get to try something new, right?" He emphasized by moving his hoof down to her flank.

"Oh yeah, but the bet is still on. I want to work for you." Spitfire says showing a little competitive nature.

Blitz grins. "Good, I like a challenge." He said before slapping her flank.

"I'm so going to get you back for that when I chase you." Spitfire says before stealing a kiss.

Blitz smiles as he rubs his hoof on her. "I'm looking forward to it." He said before closing his eyes.

"You will huh?" Spitfire asks falling asleep.

Blitz nuzzles her nose. "Yeah, because I'm going to have fun watching you fly around in circles."

"We shall see. Remember no tech or any magic." Spitfire says tapping his horn.

Blitz takes a sharp breath at that touch. "Yeah, got it."

"Good boy." Spitfire says before kissing the horn.

Blitz stifles a yelp. "Okay, that's enough." He said through gritted teeth.

"Ok, I'm done for now. Get some sleep." Spitfire says.

Blitz sighs in relief. "Good, because I'm going to do a lot worse with you in that suit."

"Don't wait until after I'm out of it. It is a pain to get on that is just right." Spitfire says.

Blitz sighs. "Feeling you in that thing is good enough, but I did notice that little zipper on the bottom."

"Yes and a pain to get on and off without help." Spitfire says booping her nose with his.

Blitz grins. "I meant for something else other than tying that thing up which is double the function if you think about it."

"Oh? Save those thoughts for another time. For now sleep." Spitfire says.

Blitz smiles. "Yeah." He said, trying to sleep now.

It was nearly two weeks later when Blitz finally finished teaching the cadets basic mandalorian self-defense. Incidentally, the number of visits to the medic of the academy for most of the stallions of the Wonderbolts was increased at least five times.

Blitz smiles as they stood in front of him. "Congratulations, you've all passed, now you can go out and do your own thing. Oh and sorry about that one move stallions. Ok not really, you have to learn to respect mares more." Blitz says sticking out his tongue to the side inside his helmet.

Spitfire walks up. "Thanks Cross, so we meet up this weekend. Me and Fleetfoot are off duty then." Spitfire whispers.

Blitz nods to her before turning back to the cadets. "Okay, you'll dismissed for the final time with me, but for them, not so much." He said nodding his head to Spitfire.

"Right you pansies, I hope you enjoyed your easy training with Cross here because now we will start working you like Wonderbolts! Now move to the sky and start flapping those useless wings!" Spitfire yells in full drill sergeant mode before whistling her whistle.

Blitz sighs as the cadets fly off and he turns to her. "So want to start now?"

"No, I'm still on duty. Now you best go before one of the mare cadets gets a bright idea with you." Spitfire says.

Blitz smiles. "Sure and you better be wearing that suit, because if I tie you up and leave you behind, you can bet I'm going to do something."

"You are so bad. I'm going to love teaching you a few things." Spitfire says before Blitz disappeared. "Cool, but not allowed." She said before walking away.

Blitz sighs as he rested on a tree branch a little while later while waiting for Spitfire and Fleetfoot. "Minerva, are they here yet?"

"Yes and the girls are up to speed and watching carefully. They want to see what you can do without your tech or magic." Minerva says over the communicator.

Blitz smiles as he got up. "Are they wearing their suits?"

"I got them on camera and they are." Minerva says.

Blitz chuckles. "Good." He said taking the vines under the branch he was on and wrapping it around him. "I'm off." He said before jumping to branch to branch.

"Aren't you forgetting something?" Minerva asks.

Blitz grins. "And what's that?"

"You have to go and meet them before this can officially start." Minerva says as Blitz could practically feel her smiling.

Blitz sighs and reaches Zecora's home and lands on the ground and puts the vines away before walking over to the mares. "Hello girls, how's it going?"

"Looks like we don't have to hunt you down for ditching us." Fleetfoot says.

Blitz shakes his head. "So you ready?"

"Oh yeah, get ready to be claimed." Spitfire says confidently.

Blitz smiles. "Good, bye now." He before running off and grabbing the vines and jumps onto a branch and off into the forest.

"Fifteen minute head start?" Fleetfoot asks.

Spitfire shakes her head. "Five. He thinks he's good." She said adjusting her suit.

"Yeah, but you know he isn't wrong." Fleetfoot says.

"You're right. Two minutes." Spitfire says.

After the time passed they both flew off and tried to find him. Of course they flew under the tree line and found his path. Blitz smiles as he leans against the tree just looking at himself in a little pond, trying to look at his eyes. "Huh, maybe they are good." He said before he hears something snap and a few yells. He grins and walks out to the trap he set up and sees Spitfire and Fleetfoot tied up. "Hi girls."

"What the?" Fleetfoot says.

"You know your biggest mistake was giving me three days to prepare ahead of time. Still, think you can catch me within three hours?" Blitz asks casually walking away while laughing.

Spitfire growls before taking a vine in her mouth and biting it before snapping the rest with her strength and flew after him. "Hey! What about me?!" Fleetfoot yells as she struggles before trying to bite them herself.

Spitfire scowls as she flew after him and soon a vine circle appeared in front of her and she tried to brake hard and ended up stopping before it, but then gets tied up from behind and then dragged backward before being hanged in midair. "Nice try." Blitz said coming around in her view. "Good braking, but nice try. Oh and what was that about making me pay for that?" Blitz asks disappearing into the foliage again.

Spitfire keeps struggling until Fleetfoot comes into view. "Need some help?"

Spitfire growls as she looks to her. "Yeah, get me out from here!"

Fleetfoot flies up and starts cutting her down. "We got to change tactics. He is too well prepared for us to rush him." Fleetfoot says getting the last vine.

Spitfire drops down to the ground. "Got an idea?"

"We play it against how pegasus usually would approach this." Fleetfoot says.

Spitfire smiles. "Then let's go."

"He won't see this coming." Fleetfoot says as they touch down on the ground.

Spitfire nods and starts walking. "Yeah, he probably won't even plan anything for it."

Meanwhile in a tree a little ways away. "Where are they?" Blitz asks watching the sky closely, hidden carefully amongst the branches. He yawns before he hears some hoofsteps on the ground. "That's new. Oh boy, there goes almost all of my traps." Blitz says now laying motionlessly against the branches, now watching the ground for any movement.

He soon sees the two mares come into a small view point. "Only chance." He said to himself, grabbing the vines on him.

Spitfire smiles as she looks around. "Where do you think he is, in a tree?"

"Maybe, but he wouldn't stop so close by." Fleetfoot says facing her as only her eyes move up, signaling Spitfire his tracked stopped and those branches above were a little suspicious looking at them from the ground.

Spitfire grins, where the branches can't see it and starts walking to it. Fleetfoot follows pretending to miss Blitz's hiding place and when they reached under it they both jumped up and tried to grab anything on tried to grab anything on the branch, but they just grabbed air and when they hung on the branch to look up at it and finds vines around their hooves. "What…?" Spitfire said confused.

Blitz seeing this from his branch, higher up, smiles and gets up. "Sorry ladies I always make back up hiding places." Blitz says before jumping away and pulls the vines with him and pins it down with a large stick.

He looks to the mares now hanging by their hooves. He thinks for a few before starting to walk right past them and when he gets close, he pulls the zipper on them down under them and runs off, leaving them slightly open under their stomachs.

"Bastard." Spitfire cursed as she tries to pull herself up and bite away at the vines.

"Oh, he is definitely going to pay for this." Fleetfoot says.

Spitfire bits away at the vines and drops down to the ground and quickly pulls the zipper closed. "Shouldn't have worn the suit that time." She said pulling at Fleetfoot's vines and dropping her to the ground.

"We can't blindly chase him or stalk him carelessly. We got to out think him somehow." Fleetfoot says.

Spitfire nods. "Yeah, but how? He basically hunted a lot of…I got an idea." She said with a smirk.

"Oh do share." Fleetfoot says.

Spitfire zips up her suit and leans her in close. "Okay, he's used to hunt others when they are either after him or running away, so let's bring him to us. I suggest, a little damsel in distress, he'll go for that."

"Ok, but how do you suggest it?" Fleetfoot whispers back.

Spitfire thinks for a few. "Maybe…" She looks to the vines and searches around her pockets and finds the things she needs. "Come on." She said grabbing her and runs off.

Blitz sighs as he now watches both the ground and sky. "They have to give up some time." He said to himself while still wiping at his hooves. "Can't believe they like that sort of thing."

"Help!" Spitfire and Fleetfoot yells after which growling is heard.

Blitz frowns and starts running across the branches. "Crap!" Blitz hops through the branches, carefully avoiding his traps and came across Spitfire and Fleetfoot being advanced on by a giant spider while tied by one of his traps. 'Of all the things, why a BUCKING spider!' Blitz mentally yells.

He quickly jumps down and throws a flash bang close to the spider's eyes and grabs the mares before jumping off into the branches. He sighs as he keeps hopping a little away before stopping and setting them down on a branch. "Geez girls, you will give me a heart attack if that happened." He looks into the forest to check the traps he left. "Maybe I should have check to see if…YIPE!" He yells as he was pinned down.

"Gotcha!" The mares yell.

"Sonuvabitch!" Blitz yells.

The mares let him go and high hoof. "Yeah, that was perfect." Fleetfoot cheers.

"You put yourselves in mortal danger just to win?" Blitz asks twitching a bit.

The mares grin while they look to them. "Well yeah, it worked didn't it?" Spitfire asks.

"I don't want you and I don't care what the law says." Blitz said suddenly.

"Ok Minerva, going a little too far." Blitz says not too far away, confusing both Wonderbolts.

Blitz smiles before he becomes a bit of static and disappeared to reveal a metal pony. "Hello, but seriously, anypony who gets into trouble just grab attention is definitely not good for Blitz." Minerva said.

"Sorry girls, but you said nothing about decoys and I think you are a little jealous Minerva." Blitz says on a branch away from them.

Spitfire and Fleetfoot looks the between both of them. "So we didn't win?"

Minerva frowns. "No, just concerned because if these mares are going to purposefully put themselves in mortal danger than you are going to die faster than when you should die."

"So you didn't noticed the spider was walking right into one of my traps. By the way, very smart girls." Blitz says as the mares were checking the time and saw that three hours had yet to pass.

Minerva glares at him. "It's the principle."

"They were in no danger Minerva, it was a plan to get me to slip up. Like what we did on Yevin 7." Blitz says.

Minerva scoffs. "How could I forget that, you walked right into it."

"And my shield still held up to the building collapsing after the explosion." Blitz says smugly, barely avoiding Fleetfoot.

Minerva still frowns. "I still had to heal that bruise on your back."

"Details." Blitz says dismissively as he hops away from the two mares chasing him.

Minerva sighs. "Just make sure you come back safely."

"Oh you two still trying?" Blitz asks taunting the two a bit.

Spitfire growls. "Get back here loser!"

"What, not fast enough to catch me?" Blitz asks tauntingly, but regretted it a second later.

Fleetfoot launches herself at him and grabs him by the neck so fast and holds down against the branch while hanging from it and Spitfire jumps onto him. "How's that for fast?"

"Me and my big mouth." Blitz says.

Both mares smirk and let go of him and jump back. "Now do we win?" Fleetfoot asks.

"I don't know, do you?" Blitz asks monotone waiting for them to rub it in.

Both mares smile before launching themselves at him and hugging him. "Time to choose." Spitfire said suddenly.

"Huh?" Blitz asks.

Spitfire looks up at him. "Which one do you want, me or her?"

"Um…girls, you do remember the edict doesn't apply to just the first mare right?" Blitz asks.

Spitfire smiles. "We know, but it's still your choice. We have to take you to an official so we can be marked down. But if you don't want us, we understand. After all, how the heck are you going to be happy with somepony you don't like or want?"

"First, Fleetfoot, I want to tell you everything, come with me to Darkstar One." Blitz says.

Fleetfoot sighs. "Okay, but what about Spitfire?"

"She knows a few details, but I think it is time to blow her mind." Blitz says.

Spitfire grins as she wraps a leg around Fleetfoot. "This is going to be fun."

Less than an hour later they were in space looking at the sun. "So minds blown yet?" Blitz asks as he floats by in the near gravity less state of the ship.

Fleetfoot and Spitfire just stare at the sun. "How…?" They ask.

"I think that's a yes. What do you think Dashie?" Blitz asks as Rainbow was getting more used to the state of gravity.

Rainbow flaps her wings and reaches the bags left near a shelf. "Pretty cool, still not cool as me though."

"I meant are their minds blown by this?" Blitz asks.

Rainbow grins. "Oh yeah, stuttering is not their style."

"So what do you think Daring?" Blitz asks.

Daring smiles as she floats over and hugs him. "Really cool, maybe I should start changing my books with a more sci-fi style to them."

"Try writing a different book series for that." Blitz says stopping her movement.

Daring nods. "Yeah, that's probably a good start. Though I will need some help, think you could give me an adventure? Because this was enough." She said showing the orb.

"Why don't you ask Minerva to share details on my life so far? There is enough there to help get you started." Blitz says.

Daring smiles and kisses his cheek. "Thanks, Blitzy." She said before giggling as she pushes off of him and floats away.

"Ok, if anyone needs me I'm going to be doing some maintenance. Minerva, if they want to see me, show them to my speeder bike and my viking." Blitz says pushing off.

Minerva nods as she watches the dumbfounded Wonderbolts still watching the sun. "Don't worry, I will."

"Thanks." He calls.

"Right, now that he is gone, time for some mare talk." Rainbow says looking to the others.

Blitz sighs as he moves the wires around before pulling the metal pipe. "There it is, that damn pipe again." He said to himself as he places that down and picks up another one. "At this rate, my expenses will be on pipes."

"Hey Blitz?" Twilight asks floating in.

"Under here." Blitz calls from his speeder bike.

Twilight looks to where his voice was and sees a rather large machine next to him while he works a rather sleek machine. "Your new mares are getting use to things around here." She said as she floated over.

"Ah, that was sooner than I expected. You mind hoofing me that wrench?" Blitz asks.

Twilight grabs a wench as she passes it and reaches Blitz as she holds it out for him. "So what are you going to do now? You kinda reached almost the maximum limit on mares so you don't have to worry much on that."

"I'm taking that slowly and pushing it to the back of my mind as I do maintenance on these two and then get started on the probes over there." Blitz says, gesturing to probes sitting on recharging platforms as he keeps working.

Twilight nods and looks down at him. "I meant in the long run, not this."

"What, already picking out names for our foals?" Blitz half jokes as Twilight heard tightening.

Twilight blushes. "Not that, before that in fact. What about those parts?"

"The marriage?" Blitz asks.

Twilight nods. "Yeah, marrying all of us and you still have to meet most of our families."

Blitz stops for a second and slides out from under the speeder bike. "Please tell me you didn't bring this up with Daring." Blitz says.

Twilight looks to him. "Not really, you're the first one I'm talking to about this."

"Good. Twi, Daring's mother died decades ago and her father too when on an adventure like she does and never came back. So mentioning that might hurt her." Blitz says.

Twilight looks away. "Oh, then maybe it's not a good idea for you to meet them then?"

"You mean your parents?" Blitz asks.

Twilight nods. "Some of us still have family, but if it's a bad idea, it's fine. I'll just send out the invitations when the time comes."

"No, I will meet with the families, but I am bringing a shield and maybe a sword to keep your brother at bay." Blitz says.

Twilight smiles. "Thanks, but I can hold him back, he forgets I also taught him some shield spells to hold ponies. After all, I don't think the other mares will like it if you come back bruised."

"I think it would be more like your parents not liking to visit your brother in the hospital after I am done." Blitz jokes.

Twilight floats over to him closer. "Maybe, but they would think it's a good lesson for him. Also, I think my mom likes you."

"How, I have never met her and I know you wouldn't reveal what I do so carelessly." Blitz says wrapping a hoof around her as she was now close enough.

Twilight leans her head on him. "Applejack had a photo of you when you're Blitz. She really likes you."

"Oh boy. So what did you tell them?" Blitz asks.

Twilight smiles. "Nothing much, the marriage with too many mares and then you appearing in town kinda held us back."

"I see, so your brother doesn't like the edict huh?" Blitz asks petting her wing.

Twilight moans. "Not really, there is no need for it in the crystal kingdom, so he doesn't really trust it. He thinks you would use me and then just move on to the next mare."

"Ha, if only he knew you all sought me and its empire Twi." Blitz says.

Twilight hits him. "Shut up. Now don't you have a slave to see?"

"No, I have no slaves, the very idea is horrifying to me." Blitz says.

Twilight looks to him. "Really now, then if I was in stocks and chains and ready for you to use me, what would you do?"

"Before or after having to restart my brain?" Blitz asks.

Twilight smiles a little. "Funny, but what would you do?"

"I was serious about my last statement, but free you unless you wanted me to do something else." Blitz says fully serious.

Twilight giggles. "After your brain comes back and maybe I would enjoy it, only if it's you though."

"Personally I would prefer I get used to the traditional way before we get more adventurous." Blitz says.

Twilight moves her head into his neck. "Yeah, that doesn't sound too bad. But the question is how long and where."

"Well, I follow Mandalorian tradition, so first attempt will be wedding night." Blitz says.

Twilight giggles. "And how long?"

"That is for the mares to decide as you are the dominant ones in this society." Blitz says.

Twilight smiles. "How about putting us into a coma?"

"Why would I inject you with drugs?" Blitz asks confused.

Twilight looks to him. "I meant buck us into a coma."

"Oh, that's what you meant." Blitz says blushing furiously.

Twilight sighs and hugs him around the neck. "So…will you?"

"Well I will…try." Blitz says pausing in the middle.

Twilight looks to him. "What's wrong?"

"I'm still working up to that and I think it may take me doing it a few times to get comfortable with it." Blitz says.

Twilight sighs and leans back into him. "How about Fluttershy help you with that, she has already had a lot of experience, especially the one she wants you to do?"

"I mean with the traditional way of making foals and I follow the Mandalorian way and it is very specific on waiting to do that." Blitz says.

Twilight nuzzles him. "That's good, but you can still talk to Fluttershy for tips, trust me, you'll find it helps."

"I will think about it. Now I must get back to work Twi." Blitz says.

Twilight sighs and looks at him. "Can you at least give me something?"

"Depends on what it is." Blitz says raising an eyebrow.

Twilight smiles. "Hold me and kiss me."

"Alright." Blitz says before fulfilling her request.

Twilight smiles as she kisses him before letting him go. "Okay, I have to go and still updated my library. The others might need you later too." She said pushing away from him slightly.

"I hope you are happy with the package Minerva has for you." Blitz says.

Twilight nods. "Yeah, thanks for that. I really needed some new foreign books. But I will be needing something else soon, something entirely different."

"I hoped that hunting down those rare books and novels was worth it to make you happy and don't worry, come wedding night, we will attempt it." Blitz says.

Twilight blows him a kiss. "I'll be waiting for you." She said before floating out.

Blitz smiles and sighs as he turns back to his work. "Okay, now where was I?"

"Master?" Fluttershy calls about a half hour later.

"In here Fluttershy." Blitz calls revving the engine of the speeder bike to hear it.

Fluttershy floats in and flaps her wings over to him. "Master." She stops. "What is that?"

"My speeder bike. It is one of my ways to get around fast." Blitz says nodding as he smiles hearing no problems from it.

Fluttershy stops as she floats over to him. "Anything else you've been missing?"

"Well I just finished maintenance on this, now for either some of the probes or my customized viking." Blitz says.

Fluttershy looks up at the big machine and the little probes sitting on their station. "Okay, I was just coming to ask if you want a session?"

"I would, but you know the old saying, work before play. After all, I need these to make money so I can treat you girls." Blitz says grabbing her and running his hoof along her wing.

Fluttershy moans as she was being held and feels the hoof along the wing. "But also, all work and no play, makes Jack a very dull boy."

"Oh Flutter, after this we will have a lot of time together, besides Fleetfoot is not above doing mares and don't you want to take her for a spin?" Blitz whispers into her ear.

Fluttershy blushes. "Only if you can be there. I want my master to watch it all while others use me."

"Oh, but don't you want to establish a pecking order and dominate her?" Blitz suggests, giving Fluttershy ideas.

Fluttershy smiles. "Maybe I should. Think you can watch while I do it?"

"I will work fast and I will catch it." Blitz says.

Fluttershy licks his neck. "I'll save the best part for you."

"Ok, just don't scar her, ok?" Blitz asks petting her mane.

Fluttershy nods. "Sure, maybe put her within an inch of her life."

"Don't kill her, but make her moan for you and me." Blitz whispers before playfully slapping her flank.

Fluttershy yips. "Master." She moans.

"Just wetting your appetite for your waiting conquest." Blitz whispers.

Fluttershy moans as he pulls her tail and mane at the same time as he kisses her neck. "Master." She moans.

"You want her so badly now, don't you?" Blitz asks.

Fluttershy gulps as he lets her go, but not before hitting her in the face. "Ow, master, that feels…good." She said as she holds her face.

"I know, now let me hear you say it." Blitz says as he strokes her wings at their most sensitive parts.

Fluttershy moans. "I…love you…master."

"And?" Blitz asks kissing the spots.

Fluttershy tries to look at him. "I'm…your…slave."

"No Fluttershy, you are one of my lovers. I can never call you my slave. I care too much to do that." Blitz says.

Fluttershy looks at him. "Then what is it? What do you want me to say?"

"You will make her beg for us to go all the way and deny her, for now make her hunger for us." Blitz says.

Fluttershy nods. "Yes master. Anything else?"

"Don't call yourself my slave again. If you need to call yourself something, call yourself my mistress. Ok Fluttershy?" Blitz asks stroking her flank.

Fluttershy wiggles her flank as he keeps stroking. "But, how will you treat me badly when we have our sessions? I need a horrible name."

"You can overlook that for pleasure, can't you?" Blitz asks.

Fluttershy shakes her head. "The name helps with that."

"We will think of one later, after all, you still have much to teach me don't you?" Blitz asks kissing her.

Fluttershy nods as he kisses her neck. "Yes, and its bitch, whore and slut you can use. Each one worse than the last."

"Ok, time to go dominate Fleetfoot my vampire." Blitz says.

Fluttershy smiles. "Yeah, one last domination on me?"

"Oh I wouldn't say that. After all, I might ask you to dominate any of the other mares." Blitz whispers into her ear.

Fluttershy blushes. "I meant one last treat for the road, master."

Blitz sighs as he grabs by the mane and turns her onto her back on the ground and then hits her in the face a few times as she cries out in bliss with every hit before biting her neck and licking it and lifts her up at the same time and then let's her go. "How's that?"

"You are getting better all the time." Fluttershy says.

"I know, now go get you're…which word would be better, victim or prey?" Blitz asks confused.

Fluttershy grins. "In our case, victim. Now if I'm free to go master?"

"One last thing. Go full vampire and let no one see you spirit her away to your room." Blitz says smiling before kissing her neck where he left a small bite mark.

Fluttershy giggles. "Any other last requests or am I free to go master?"

"Stay beautiful, that's all." Blitz says.

Fluttershy blushes heavily. "Thank you master. I can go now, right? I need permission."

"Yes you may. Remember, no matter how much she begs for it, don't go all the way or scar her in any way." Blitz says.

Fluttershy nods. "Okay, I'll do that. Just remember, with me, you have to order me just like those computers you have. You need to give me permission to do things."

"Ok, I give you permission to keep being sexy." Blitz jokes with her.

Fluttershy giggles. "Oh master. Well, I have to go and capture our victim. And I can see you like our mini session. Later." She said looking under him before leaving.

Blitz looks down at himself and sees the little bulge under his clothing and groans. "I can't believe I got off on that. But right now, for you little guys." Blitz goes over to the probes before donning special goggles and starts working.

"Blitzy." Applejack calls as she comes in while carrying a plastic case.

"Over here. Seriously, are all my mares need something from me at the same time?" Blitz whispers the last part to himself as he starts on the fifth probe.

Applejack floats on over. "Thought you might be hungry. I've already fed everypony except Fluttershy and Fleetfoot. Can't find those two."

Blitz smiles as he sees the show on his one way goggles. "I'm sure they're just resting. What da make?"

Meanwhile in Fluttershy's room

Fluttershy chuckles as she wears the strapon and still carrying the whip. "So…what did you want?"

"Let me out of here." Fleetfoot barely manages to say as she was tied down and had already been stripped of her uniform and had welts all over her, but mostly on her flank and in between her hindlegs.

Fluttershy clicks her tongue as she shakes her head. "I can't do that. You see, my master really wants you to beg for us and keep begging. And when it comes to it, we will torture you to wetness. Of course, you have been through so much. Do you still want this?" She asks while poking her with her rather large strapon.

Fleetfoot tries to struggle against her bindings as she tries to look away from Fluttershy's eyes, but they were so hypnotic.

Fluttershy steps close to her as she brings the strapon close to her face, never letting her now red eyes out of Fleetfoot's sight. "You want it, you want to be in bliss and pleasure, you want to like it and never let it go, you even want the real thing, all hard and throbbing with pleasure to come for you including the heat afterwards, but you must say it, say it with me…" Fluttershy says to her as Fleetfoot's mouth started to mirror hers. "I want it." They both said.

"You are starting to get so wet from just looking at me. Your eyes watching every part of me. You love the idea of being with another mare, but you are disgusted at the thought of being with a stallion, except for the one you crave the most. Our master, Apple Blitzkrieg." Fluttershy says. Fleetfoot nods dumbly as she drools and a puddle starts to form around her. Fluttershy smirks and pokes the strapon on her muzzle. "Do you want it?" She asks simply.

"I…I…I…I…" Fleetfoot kept repeating as if struggling against the trance.

Fluttershy sighs and bends down and brings her eyes close to Fleetfoot's. "You like the pleasure and you want it for the rest of your life, every second, every day, every waking moment. You want to be filled to the brim with everything and everyone. Anything to get pleasure. Especially your master, but only when he or I want you to. Now…" Fluttershy said getting back up and putting the strapon on her muzzle. "Do you want it?"

Fleetfoot does nothing for a bit before trying to suck on it. Fluttershy grins as she pulls it away. "Sorry, but you gotta beg for it, beg. You know what, how about this?" She said before plunging it into her mouth all the way and started to thrust into it. "Oh yeah, you're just a tool, a cock sleeve for my master to use and nothing else. You will get pleasure, but only if he says it or I do, you will listen to everything he says. If I say something and he says differently, you will listen to him, pleasure him to your last breath. You live to give pleasure to him and only him while almost having none yourself. Now, I'll get my pleasure and you'll beg for your release." She moans out, happily listening to the gluking sounds from Fleetfoot's throat as Fleetfoot moans whorishly around the fake cock.

Blitz just finished eating with Applejack. "Thanks Jackie." Blitz says laying his head in her lap.

Applejack smiles as she pets his head. "No problem Blitzy, but why are still wearing these?" She asks taking the goggles off.

"Those help me do maintenance on the probes." Blitz says as Applejack puts them on and starts seeing an alien like language with many numbers.

Applejack shrugs. "Huh, okay, it's not like I can understand…wait." She said bringing up her leg and showing the orange computer. "Let's try this." She said to herself, hitting a few things.

Blitz starts to sweat. "Um…Jackie, I kinda needs those to work now. I gotta get these done." He said reaching for them.

Applejack smiles as she moves her head out of the way. "Got it." She said, hitting the last button and all the symbols started to change and form the language she can understand. "There that's…what's that?" She asks seeing a screen.

Blitz really sweats now. "That's nothing." He said, quickly reaching up, but Applejack dodges it.

Applejack smirks. "What are you hidi…whoa. Blitzy, I didn't know you into that." She said seeing the camera in Fluttershy's room and the scene playing out.

"Actually, that is Fluttershy and you now know where Fluttershy went." Blitz says, thankful that the goggles didn't have audio.

Applejack shrugs and takes it off. "Yeah, she would be the type to have that. Here." She said giving it to him. "Now tell me, what are you going to give me in return?"

"I don't really know." Blitz says after thinking, putting back on the goggles.

Applejack smiles. "Well, you got until wedding night to think of something."

"Yeah, so Jackie what was in the mail? You have seemed a little distracted since you read it." Blitz says.

"Well, I got a letter from our distant cousin, Fiddly Faddle." Applejack says.

"Wait, isn't she the blue maned earth pony who plays the violin?" Blitz asks.

Applejack nods. "Yep, she is. Anyways it seems complications have arose and she won't be able to come to Ponyville to help another one of her cousin's who isn't exactly kin to us." Applejack starts.

"Got it, her extended family." Blitz says.

"Yeah and well, she is asking if we can help her, but me and Big Mac don't have the time and Apple Bloom is a little too young so…" Applejack trails off.

"You want me to help her?" Blitz asks.

Applejack nods. "Oh yeah, you kinda have the experience with being an outcast, no offence."

"Ok, I'll go help her cousin, just give me the address." Blitz says.

Applejack types a few things on her orange computer. "You know, Minerva still hasn't given me the name for these things. It's sent to the ship, ready for you to take anywhere."

"Communicators." Blitz says.

Minerva pops up on her orange hologram in a screen. "Omnitool for the thing she's wearing, but it's not a communicator, it's actually a wearable computer."

"Wait, you gave her an omnitool? Tell me you gave her detailed instructions and how to use it." Blitz says.

Minerva giggles. "What do you take me for, a fool? I taught them the basics and they learned the rest. And as soon as the other mares get acquainted with the ship, then I'll give them theirs."

"So Jackie, you looking forward to that day?" Blitz asks leaning against her before kissing her ear as Minerva disappeared.

Applejack blushes. "Yeah, I wonder how the family will react when I'm marrying my own cousin, by adoption of course."

"I don't think they will mind." Blitz says rubbing her shoulders now.

Applejack moans as she feels some pressure being lifted. "You sure, we have been getting those slurs?"

"Not from the family and they don't understand how far we are apart in the family tree." Blitz says kissing the back of her neck.

Applejack breathes in she tries to guide him. "Yeah, yeah yer right. But where are we going to go now that we here all know there's more out there?"

"Nowhere for now Jackie. You might have learned a few things, but not nearly enough to survive out in the galaxy just yet." Blitz says before pulling her to the ground on top of himself.

Applejack smiles as she runs a hoof down his chest. "Yeah, so how long until we're ready?"

"Twilight is arranging that, so you got to ask her." Blitz says before kissing her. "So, am I improving?" Blitz asks after breaking the kiss.

Applejack smiles as she lays her head down onto his chest. "You tell me, does it feel like we're getting closer?"

"Yeah, it does." Blitz says before kissing her again.

Applejack moans a bit before pushing him away. "Whoa there lover boy. Save all that energy for the wedding and the night of it."

"Just giving you a taste and teasing you with it. After all, you tied me up and took me to your home twice." Blitz says smirking.

Applejack snorts a puff of air at him. "Just keep this engorged until wedding night." She said while slowly rubbing a certain part of him.

"Don't be so quick Jackie, remember, I'm not used to that and I will be struggling to do that on the wedding night. So please don't embarrass me anymore, ok?" He says grabbing her hoof.

Applejack nods. "Sure. Just keep it waiting for us." She said before giving him a kiss and getting up. "Bye now." She said, moving her tail along him as she left.

"Jackie, you forgot something." Blitz says wearing her hat.

Applejack smirks as she grabs her rope that he somehow didn't notice and grabs it off of him as she puts the rope away. "You still got a lot to learn about me." She said as she walked away.

"Oh, is that why your flank is reserved for me?" Blitz asks a little surprised at himself for being so forward.

Applejack grins as she shakes her flank at him while moving her tail out of the way. "All yours."

"Yeah, you keep teasing me." Blitz says going back to work.

Blitz sighs as he wiped his head from the sweat as he looks over the probes. "There we are, upgraded and ready to go." He then turns to the viking mech with a grin. "Your turn."

"Oh Blitz." Spitfire calls.

Blitz, in the cockpit, hears her and groans a bit. "In here!" He calls leaving the hatch open.

Spitfire looks around and spots him in a machine. "What's that?" She asked as she went to him.

"My Viking mech. I only bring her down if I need some serious firepower." Blitz says testing a few controls.

Spitfire smiles as she looks inside the cockpit. "Nice mech, how tough is it?"

"The princesses would have a tough time facing it, I would think, though it lacks the firepower of a Thor, but makes up for it with the ability to transform into an aircraft." Blitz says having it turn to the right.

Spitfire comes inside the cockpit and stays above him. "Well that's cool, so how fast would it be if it transformed?"

"From aircraft to ground mode or vice versa?" Blitz asks.

Spitfire shrugs. "Both."

"From aircraft to ground in midair: 3.5 seconds. From ground to aircraft: 7 seconds because it has to use boosters to lift off the ground." Blitz says as Spitfire pushes against the roof of the cockpit and lands in his lap.

Spitfire smiles as she wraps her hooves around his neck. "And when it's flying?"

"You or it?" Blitz asks as she snuggled into him.

Spitfire chuckles. "It, silly." She said as she nuzzles him.

"Could have fool me seeing as how quick you moved in on me." Blitz says.

Spitfire sighs and sits up again. "You know, we are alone here." She said as she rubs his shoulders and hikes her tail out of the way. "We could some have fun." She said rather sultry.

"Sorry, but I am a Mandalorian and we follow a strict code and it is quite specific that I wait until after the wedding. Also, careful with throwing that around so carelessly. Fluttershy caught wind of Fleetfoot doing that with me and now she is 'educating' her." Blitz warns as he places his hooves on her hips.

Spitfire raises an eyebrow. "Huh, so that's where she went. Oh well, I could still do this." She said before turning her head to the side and licks his neck and brings her flank up a little.

Blitz moans a little as he moves one of his hooves up to try to stop her, but was getting a surprise. "Blitz, you won't believe it, we have…I…ah…whoa…ye…yeow…wow…I can come back later." Minerva said as she appeared in the cockpit viewer on the screen in front of Blitz and got half a view of Spitfire's ass while seeing the action up top.

"Spi…Spitfire, stop for a moment." Blitz struggles before turning to Minerva. "Ok, please continue." Blitz says.

Minerva still looks to Spitfire's ass while trying to talk. "Um…well, do you know of the planet, E.D.N. III?"

"Refresh my memory." Blitz says as Spitfire brings her flank down to sitting on Blitz's lap.

Minerva coughs to regain her attention on him again. "Well it's the ice planet that runs on thermal energy as an energy source and kinda run by a corrupt corporation which was stopped by these snow pirates. Remember?"

"Oh yeah, I have heard of it, but never have or planning to go there." Blitz says.

Minerva then smiles. "You won't have to. They had a trading site open for a long time since they drove the corporation out of the planet, but it never open their trading lines. But I have been keeping an eye on it for a reason. Their weapons, energy, tech, suits and most of all, mechs. And I have been keeping an eye on one." She said a picture of a mech appeared on screen. "The PTX-40A, the most badass of all mechs. The owners of this thing died out and the last fight it was in was against a mech that takes energy from radio waves. So they took that and placed it into the PTX. Just think of what we can do, especially since it can transform into a flying mech while looking cool, it's collection system for energy and, if we upgrade, materials and minerals, the standard weapons like mini machine gun and chainsaw and of course, but it now also comes with, instead of a gatling gun, two EMF blades and a vulcan laser, it comes with a regenerative arm glove for the pilot to wear and use on himself and the mech and its run on the energy the mech collects."

Blitz waited a few moments before speaking again. "Permission granted, buy it now."

Minerva giggles in a high pitch voice, as she jumps in place really fast. "You won't regret it and I'll look up what upgrades we can get and I'll start with the collection system." She said before signing off. Then she came back on. "Oh, by the way, nice ass." She said.

"How about first modifying it to where I can pilot it?" Blitz asks.

Minerva nods. "Already got a plan in the works, they just need your body type and how big you can get and they'll change it. Luckily…" She said showing a picture of him with measurements.

"You already have the data." Blitz says.

Minerva nods. "Yep, I'll send it to them and max out the upgrades on the collection system and we'll see from there."

"Send a copy of the schematics to Mandalore and we can write it off as a business expense." Blitz says his hoof wrapping around Spitfire's flank as he rubs it.

Minerva shakes her head. "Don't need to, you know how the income we get is strangely lower than usual?"

"Why?" Blitz asks suspiciously.

Minerva grins. "I was placing the missing credits into a savings account under your name. And we actually have enough. Started it when you started your job and got your first pay."

"So that's why I barely had any credits left over after you bought your body." Blitz says.

Minerva giggles. "Just be happy, they had this inventory open for a long time, since you've started working in your life. I knew that if we passed it to the Mandalorians we would have to give it to them when they called for it, but if you get it under your own name and money then…" She said smiling.

"Just don't start thinking of cheating the clans and still, send the schematics, it will at least get us in better graces with the engineers and the more warmongering of the clans." Blitz says.

Minerva groans. "Fine. Have fun you two." She said before signing off.

"Maybe we can talk them into sending us some upgrades for the Darkstar One." Blitz says causing her to come back and looks at him starry eyed.

Minerva keeps looking at him. "Really, can we…upgrade the collection system on this? We can finally become an exporter for the minerals and everything, get some free credits?"

"Yes, if you send the schematics to them." Blitz says.

Minerva keeps looking at him. "Okay, I'll send it." She said finally.

"Good girl." Blitz says.

Minerva glares at him. "I'm not a dog."

"No, you're one of my girls." Blitz says smirking.

Minerva sighs. "You need anything else on either the PTX or the ship, any upgrades? Especially since the PTX chainsaw can cut almost anything along with the EMF blades."

"Just go over the inventory and let me know what we have later, ok?" Blitz asks.

Minerva nods. "Yeah, you got it." She then stares back at Spitfire's ass again. "Huh, no wonder he likes that."

"Hey, I got other qualities." Spitfire says wrapping her wings around Blitz.

Minerva smirks. "Yeah, considering the size of your front assets, size DD, am I right?"

"My wingspan is E size, thank you very much." Spitfire says.

Minerva giggles. "I said front, your wings is your back."

Spitfire and Blitz just looked confused.

Minerva smiles until she lifts herself up and shows herself down low under where her stomach should be. "These things." She said pointing at the metal nipples.

"Huh, what do those have to do with anything? Those are for a mare to feed their foals." Spitfire says.

Minerva sits back down and smirks. "Because a stallion can look at it while it jiggles up and down when you do it and yours is size DD, I looked up your file."

"Minerva, could you check our flamethrower fuel reserves?" Blitz asks.

Minerva sighs. "I know when to take a hint. Bye now." She said before signing off again.

"Let's see. Hum, seems that the number five motor control in the right leg isn't responding." Blitz says looking at a screen to the side.

Spitfire shakes her head before making him turn his head at her and leans back and spreads her legs. "Is what she said true?"

"I don't look at those, besides, why would I look there when this is far more preferable?" Blitz says looking her in the eyes.

Spitfire smiles. "Just tell me, do you like them?" She said while shaking herself a little, making them jiggle.

"They are not undesirable to me, but I don't look to them. They are a bonus." Blitz says lifting her up with his magic so he could get out.

Spitfire watches as he gets out. "And what are going to watch the most when we do it?"

"Your beautiful muzzle." Blitz says moving to the right leg of the Viking.

Spitfire clicks her tongue. "Really? This thing," She said pointing to her muzzle. "Is better than this?" She now said pointing to her eyes.

"No, because they are one in the same. Now you might want to get some distance as this could get messy." Blitz says bringing over this tools to start working on the leg.

Spitfire sighs as she starts to float away. "I'll see you later. Need to finalize my paperwork on me going away." Spitfire says before Blitz gets shocked and is thrown into the wall beside her.

"Ow. Should have shut that off first." Blitz says licking his hoof and using it to extinguish the small flame in his mane.

Spitfire smiles and moves to him. "Guess what, we do have something in common in appearance."

"The wild style?" Blitz jokes.

Spitfire giggles. "I was going to say fiery mane, but that works too." She said before kissing him and gets a jolt.

"Now you see why I wanted you to move back right?" Blitz asks.

Spitfire still feels the spark in her mane. "Wow, that's what I call a kiss. Think you can electrify me on our wedding night?"

"I'll consider it. No promises though." Blitz says pushing off back the Viking.

Spitfire sighs as she watches him fly off, especially his flank. "Can I join you in some private time later, maybe have some fun?"

"You got to wait for the wedding Spitfire." Blitz calls.

Spitfire chuckles. "I meant, maybe a shower together?"

"Remember Fluttershy, Spitfire, you don't want to get educated by her like Fleetfoot is being." Blitz says.

Spitfire sighs. "I meant just being held in there, just…holding you, is enough."

"We shall see. I am going to need one when I'm done though." Blitz calls.

Spitfire nods and floats out. "I'll see you later." She said while flicking her tail at him.

Blitz sighs as he hits the tester and finds all green on the screen. "Finally. All done." He said sitting back in his seat after about two hours of working.

"Blitz, you in here?" Rainbow calls.

Blitz leans his head into the seat and closes his eyes. 'Might as well.' "Yeah, in here."

Rainbow floats over and looks into the cockpit and sees him looking like he's asleep. "You okay?" She asks floating in.

"Yeah, just tired. I get really worn out quickly when I do maintenance for around five hours straight." Blitz says.

Rainbow painfully smiles as she floats onto him and wraps her legs around him. "Want to head to your room or rest here for a bit?"

"I got to hit the shower first I got grease all over my hooves and my face and I'm covered in sweet." Blitz says leaning on her shoulder.

Rainbow almost laughs. "Want me to lead you there?"

"Sure, I'm also might need some help bathing in this condition." Blitz says almost nodding off.

Rainbow smiles. "I can help with that, need some others though." She lifts him out of the seat and starts to guide him through the ship. "Daring, Spitfire, need a hoof with him." She calls out as she passes the common area.

Moments later, the two pegasus come down the hall. "Whoa, he looks wiped." Daring says.

Rainbow smiles as she starts to lead them all to his room. "Yeah, that's what happens when you're working for five hours straight. Right, Blitz?"

"Yeah, it is." Blitz says.

"And the fact you haven't slept in three days. Have you been using those things again?" Daring adds.

"No, I use that to help me sleep." Blitz says.

Daring frowns. "When I'm around, no matter what, you do not use those. Promise?"

"I haven't used them in months since you told me to stop." Blitz says.

Daring smiles. "Good." She said before opening his door and leading them to the shower. After Rainbow and Spitfire brought him in, they all started to hit the ground. "What?"

"I turned on the gravity for you." Minerva said. "Happy bathing."

"Thanks. Come on lover boy, time for a shower." Rainbow says taking off his clothes as Spitfire messes with the controls of the shower and Daring undresses.

Blitz smiles as he tries to look at them. "Thanks for this girls."

"Save your strength lover boy, we want you awake when the shower is over." Spitfire says, booping his nose.

Blitz chuckles as the shower comes on and they start to get wet whole Blitz just becomes a mess of fluids from the machines. "Wow, that's a lot." Daring said, grabbing a sponge.

"Yeah, had to inspect and replace a lot of parts in my Viking mech." Blitz says.

Rainbow smiles as she starts to scrub him down after Spitfire places some soap on him and lathers him up while Daring and Rainbow follow behind. "Do you have to do anything else still?"

"No, all caught up now. Really should think about either hiring an engineer or get one of the clan to join my team." Blitz says.

Daring sighs. "So when you said clan back when we met, it wasn't a fluke?"

"Yeah, I am a Mandalorian and belong to the Fett clan which ironically translates into farmers." Blitz says.

Rainbow laughs. "You and Applejack would have definitely gotten together first."

"And the warrior leader of all the clans, Mandalore, is the head of my clan, who also snapped the neck of the last one who made fun of our clan's name." Blitz says.

Spitfire shakes her head. "Is there anything not crazy about you?"

"My good looks count?" Blitz asks.

Every one of the mares laughs or giggles a little. "Anything else you can say?" Rainbow asks.

"Hope you girls like to be fluff balls at the end of this." Blitz says puzzling them.

Daring shrugs as she mounts him backwards and over his face and starts to scrub his chest. "Like the view?"

"I'll leave my answer up to your imagination." Blitz says as she stares at the three scars on his chest.

Daring gets off of him and just lightly touched the scars. "How come these haven't disappeared?"

"They won't simply go away. They are scars of a mortal wound. If I didn't have access to what most consider sci-fi medical treatment, I would be dead." Blitz says.

They all stop and look to him. "Minerva, what did you have to do?" Rainbow asks.

"Surgery. A very delicate surgery." Minerva says over the intercom in the bathroom.

All the mares start to lightly touch the scars. "And how much time did it take?" Spitfire asks.

"Well the best medical term I can think of is it was touch and go for eight hours before he stabilized. He lost a lot of blood along with those injuries from Bloody Mary." Minerva answered.

Daring painfully smiles as she sits down and places his head on her lap before starting to scrub his head. "At least you're okay."

"Yeah and to make sure she can't come back, I threw her ashes into the sun." Blitz says smiling.

Rainbow smiles as she starts to scrub again and starts moving downward. "It was kind of cool watching that vase float into the sun."

"I thought the rumors of you slaying Bloody Mary were only rumors." Spitfire says.

Blitz smirks and points to his scars. "Then what's this?"

"Like I said, I thought they were only rumors till a buddy of mine in the night guard told me he was there and watched her burn to death in the sun, but it was two hours early to boot." Spitfire says scrubbing his chest.

Rainbow smirks as she starts to scrub his lower half. "Think, who can make the sun come up early?"

"Yeah, yeah, I owe the princesses one." Blitz says starting to lose focus.

Rainbow grins as she lose the sponge and starts rubbing him with a hoof. "Stay awake our stallion, we need you awake."

"No, no, Rainbow, you're doing it all wrong. Spitfire, please smack his head." Minerva says.

Rainbow giggles as she keeps stroking him while Spitfire hits him hard, waking him up. "What the heck?! Who's…?" He looks to who's rubbing him. "Um…Rainbow…c…can you stop?" He groans out.

"Ok, just trying to keep you awake." She says innocently.

Blitz groans. "You're…still doing…it."

Rainbow sighs and stops and keeps scrubbing, leaving him hanging out in the open. "Fine, you look really big though, not even all the way yet."

"Not talking about it." Blitz says annoyed through his teeth.

Spitfire smirks. "It's always the quiet one." She said eyeing it as it twitches.

"Do I need to call Fluttershy and ask her to 'educate' you?" Blitz asks.

"No need." A voice said from outside the shower, which makes them look over and see Fluttershy with Fleetfoot bowing low next to her with a collar around her neck and too many red marks and covered in something. "I finished up and I just need to wipe her down. But look what I found, three mares who's molesting my master. Slut, don't you have something to do?" She asks Fleetfoot.

"No mistress. You haven't given me permission." Fleetfoot says in a hypnotized voice.

"Fluttershy, they aren't molesting me, they are helping take a shower as I'm really tired." Blitz says, nearly nodding off.

Fluttershy smiles. "Good, I would've have to do the same to you all. Master, enjoy your new pet to have and use. You need anything else?"

"Um…how about you help us finish him up Fluttershy?" Rainbow asks hoping to avoid what happened to Fleetfoot.

Fluttershy grins. "Master?"

"Do whatever you want." Blitz says nearly nodding off again.

Fluttershy nods and turns to Fleetfoot. "Come out of this my pet." Fluttershy says taking off the collar causing Fleetfoot to shake her head.

"What happened?" Fleetfoot asks holding her head.

Fluttershy smirks as she wraps her pensile tail around her. "You were under my control, disobey and you will deal with me or our master."

"What?" Fleetfoot asks alarmed.

Fluttershy suddenly hoists her up after grabbing her by the neck, but keeping her from choking. "You're mine and our master's pet, listen to what we say and maybe we would give you what you want."

"Fluttershy, that's enough, you going to help or not?" Blitz asks causing Fluttershy to do a one eighty and drop Fleetfoot and walks over to Blitz smiling as she joins the shower.

Fluttershy sits between his legs and grabs a sponge before scrubbing his legs. "Better?" She asks sweetly.

"Thank you." Blitz says.

Fleetfoot looks a bit scared. "Pet?" She asks while shaking slightly.

"Fleetfoot, please come here." Blitz requests nicely.

Fleetfoot gains a faraway look before shaking herself. "Yes master." She said before placing her hooves over her mouth. "What the…?" Blitz waits till she walks over before giving her a hug. "What happened?" She asks.

Blitz smiles a bit. "Fluttershy placed a thought into you. You have to listen to us without question and I'm the overrider as well, right?" He asks Fluttershy.

Fluttershy nods. "Yes, if I give an order and you give another order. She will listen to you all the time. Even if it contradicts me."

"So um…" Fleetfoot starts.

"It won't affect you away from us, right?" Blitz asks Fluttershy.

Fluttershy shakes her head. "No, the ordering only happens if we ask her when she's with us. She will look hypnotized, but it will wear off and she will do the order. Anything you ask her to do."

"Oh? Fleetfoot tell me about these so called lesbian experiences you had in boot camp." Blitz says more awake now and has a grin as Spitfire freezes.

Fleetfoot freezes up before shaking herself again. "Well I was about to graduate and was only a month away when Spitfire called me to her office. Her guards wasn't there so she took the chance to pin me the desk and rub against me. She must have been really pent up. After that, she took every chance to get me in my bed and soon in her bed. As we neared the end of the month, we were sleeping together like a married couple."

"My, my, Spitfire, I had no idea you were so adventurous." Blitz says rubbing against her a bit.

Spitfire presses her lips together. "I was lonely and needed some help. Fleetfoot was a shoo in to get in so I decided to have fun with her." She said as she wiggles her hips. "I was trying to get rid of the trouble I was feeling." She said as something other than water fell from in between her legs.

"Well don't worry, you won't feel that way anymore." Blitz says.

Spitfire still moves her hips around. "I know."

"Alright, I think its Fleetfoot's turn." Blitz says as he lets himself be rinsed off.

Fleetfoot groans as she feels something running along her flank. "Mistress." She moans out.

"Fluttershy, help her get washed, don't torture her." Blitz says.

Fluttershy smiles as she brings her tail in front of her. "And what about you master, don't you need help?"

"No I'm good. The grease and sweat are off me." Blitz says as the other mares start working on themselves.

Fluttershy smirks as she waved her tail on him. "I meant this." She asks, rubbing him with her tail.

"I'm sure I barely have the strength to stand right now." Blitz says leaning against her bat wings.

Fluttershy smiles as she leans her head against him. "You want to be treated?"

"No, save it for the wedding night." Blitz says smiling.

Fluttershy grins as she licks him. "Oh master, what are you planning to do?"

"What do you think?" Blitz says.

Fluttershy licks her lips as she leans down to his waist. "Everything that abuses me and makes things painful for normal mares used on me."

"I was thinking we try the old fashioned way first." Blitz says.

Fluttershy drools more as she keeps licking her lips as she reached her prize. "Then will you abuse me?"

"We shall see what happens after that. After all…" Blitz wasn't able to finish as Fluttershy heard soft snoring.

Fluttershy sighs and looks up to see Blitz asleep against her wing. "Let's get him to bed." She said holding him.

"Yeah I think we are finished." Fleetfoot says after she had managed to scrub herself good.

"Roger, beginning drying." Minerva says.

The dyer suddenly came on and a huge gust of air blew out from below them and once it was finished did their hair turned them into puffballs. "Huh, so that's what he meant."

"Hey Blitz, are you in here, I wanted to…" Twilight starts, but stops, trying to contain her laughter.

Rainbow glares at her. "Shut up, just shut up."

"Sporting a new look for the wonderbolts?" Applejack, who was right behind her, jokes, barely containing her laughter.

Spitfire and Daring just throws their sponges at them.

They keep laughing till they see Fluttershy carrying a sleeping Blitz to the bed. Fluttershy smiles as she places Blitz on the bed and cover him up. "Who wants to sleep with him tonight?"

The other six mares in the room share a glance and check the size of the bed, but before any could make a move Spitfire sigh. "We can't, as we have to return to the academy." She says.

Fluttershy nods. "Fleetfoot, you are free to go, for now. Rainbow, Twilight?" Fluttershy asks only to see them gone. Looking back to Blitz, she sees them already in the bed. Fluttershy smiles and gets into bed too and lays right on top of him. "Good night master, night girls."

"I will see y'all later. I go to get back to the farm. Got to start bringing in the last crop before winter sets in." Applejack says.

They just wave her off as the lights dim down.

As they start to fall asleep, they hear an annoying beeping. The three glare at the source which was an alarm clock. When they were about to get up, Twilight notices a blaster pistol rising from beneath the bed covered in a golden yellow aura before it starts firing, silencing the alarm.

"Night girls." Blitz said as he nuzzles their heads.

"Night." They whispered as Twilight grabbed the blaster pistol with her magic and places it facing away from them on the bed side table.

Twilight smiles as she places her head on his shoulder. "You're improving Blitz."

"Actually, that is the twenty fifth alarm clock to meet that same fate." Blitz says.

They all laugh as they giggle before Fluttershy gasp. "Oh master." She moans out while moving her flank on him.

"What is it Fluttershy?" Blitz asks.

Fluttershy smiles as she keeps moving her flank up and down on him. "It's growing."

"Stop Fluttershy." Blitz says.

Fluttershy licks her lips. "It came out on its own before it touched me. Your fault." She said still moving.

"Fluttershy, I said stop." Blitz says with authority in his voice as he opens an eye to look at her.

Fluttershy stops as she sees him looking and looks down. "Yes master." 'He didn't like it.' She thought, covering her face slightly.

"Save it for the wedding night." Blitz says bringing her head close to him and closes his eye again.

Fluttershy whimpers. "Yes master."

"Now sleep and look forward to that night my vampire." Blitz whispers into her ear.

Fluttershy whimpers. "Master?"

"I must follow my code to the letter Fluttershy, but it doesn't mean I disliked it, but I also have to ease into this." Blitz whispers into her ear before shifting so he could hold the other two mares in his bed.

Fluttershy nods as she tries to find a good spot. "Does this mean I can keep doing this?"

"Yes you can, when we have nothing going on." Blitz says taking his hoof of her to pet her mane.

Fluttershy purrs. "Okay, do you like your new pet?"

Blitz kisses her forehead. "Go to sleep." Blitz says.

'Ah, don't want to say anything in front of Rainbow or Twilight huh master?' Fluttershy thinks.

Blitz chuckles and leans in close to her ear before giving it a bite. "Love it." He whispered before leaning his head back down and going to sleep.

The next afternoon, Blitz was standing in front of a house wearing his usual clothes and a pair of mirrored sunglasses. "Ok, this should be the place according to the address we were sent." Blitz says before knocking on the door.

"Coming." A voice said inside before the door opens. "Hello, can I help you?" A mare asks.

"Um…yes, are you Miss Octavia?" Blitz asks looking at the envelope.

Octavia nods. "Yes, what do you need?"

"Yes, unfortunately your cousin Fiddly Faddle couldn't make it for some reason so she asked her extended family on her mother's side here in Ponyville to help you out." Blitz says.

Octavia looks a bit surprised. "Fiddly, but…Vinyl, I'm heading out for a bit." She calls back inside.

"Yeah, sorry about her not being able to make it." Blitz says.

Octavia sighs as she closes the door. "Its okay, her life has been hectic at times. Mostly trying to deal with that husband of hers."

"Oh she got married?" Blitz asks.

Octavia nods and they start to walk. "Most don't know, but she married a pony from Manehatten, she's the Apple of the family."

"There is a joke in that statement somewhere. I just don't know where." Blitz says.

Octavia frowns. "The problem lies with that husband of hers. She has a foal now and she can barely leave the city. I and Vinyl tried for a long time to get her out, Vinyl using her underground connections when she does gigs there and me using my high society ones. We can't get close though."

"Ah so you don't really need help, you just want her to get out of the house for a while?" Blitz asks.

Octavia shakes her head. "No, get her out and away from bastard of a stallion. The reason we can't touch him is because he's a new politician in the city who is in with good graces of everypony."

"So why is he a bastard?" Blitz asks.

Octavia snorts. "You've heard of how great stallions keep bringing their lovers flowers and everything, just to make up?"

"Not really." Blitz says.

Octavia sighs. "This is why." She said reaching into her collar and pulling out a folded piece of photo. "She sent me these after she almost couldn't make it last time."

"Let's see." Blitz says taking the photo and looks it over. On it he can see a mare who looks badly hurt while in some kind of high end bathroom and holding camera, presumably to take the picture herself.

"She took that when he was out for a bit and quickly made the neighbor mail it to me. If she sent it to her parents or the authorities it would have been worse since they wouldn't believe her. Have a great stallion on the outside and he can be anything on the inside." Octavia said.

"I see. Well I think I'm going to be paying somepony a visit soon." Blitz says.

Octavia glares at him. "You can't harm him or leave any trace of her missing. If he finds out, he will blame you for kidnapping and it's not going to matter how famous and good you are, heck your mares won't be allowed to marry if it happens. He can make many things happened."

"And I work in internal affairs and I'm friends with many high ranking ponies and many more owe me favors. I also can make him disappear easily." Blitz says seriously.

Octavia sighs. "She has a foal to, get the little tyke out as well with her and bring them to us. We'll be able to protect her once she's here."

"Gotcha. So Octavia what rank is he and his name?" Blitz asks.

Octavia looks to him. "He's only second in line from the mayor and his name is Secure Star."

"I see. I'll see you in a few days so don't worry your pretty head over this. Just prepare a room for her and the foal." Blitz says.

Octavia nods. "Be careful, his reach may be far more than we know."

"Trust me, it's not as far as he thinks." Blitz says walking away.

Octavia watches as he leaves. "Be careful."

Blitz sighs. "Minerva, we're going on a little road trip."

"I heard, should I arrange a meeting with the princesses and the mob?" Minerva asks.

"Ask to see the Godfather specifically." Blitz says.

Minerva smiles. "Sure thing, just don't have us find a head in our bed."

"Yeah, yeah." Blitz says disappearing.

Celestia was signing papers in her office when the open balcony door suddenly close. "Princess Celestia, a word." Blitz says as he becomes visible in his blue aerial armor.

Celestia stops mid writing. "Cross, to what do I owe this pleasure of a midnight meeting like a lover stallion?"

"I have come across a corrupt official in your court who I want to move against." Blitz says very businesslike.

Celestia raises an eyebrow. "Since when do you want to dabble in politics?"

"Since this is a personal request from Blitzkrieg whose distant relative is married to him." Blitz says.

Celestia sighs. "Okay, what is it?"

"Secure Star. I believe you know his rap sheet as it involves being suspected to being linked to some of your royal guards' deaths along with a few other officials, but nothing has ever been proven." Blitz says.

Celestia huffs. "Money and power can make anything disappear."

"So are you willing to aid me in cutting off this snake?" Blitz asks.

Celestia smiles a bit. "We just need a lot of dirt on him, something that we can never get."

"I can provide this, but for my plan to start, you will have to make Blitzkrieg a part of your internal affairs." Blitz says.

Celestia sighs. "Okay, just don't make too much noise."

"Oh don't worry. I will be discreet, just be ready to counter any attempts he tries to blame Blitzkrieg and be ready to watch and see who his allies are once he is arrested and then move against them." Blitz says.

Celestia nods. "Anything else you need?"

"Nothing else for now." Blitz says walking towards the door, but stops. "Actually, about your latest edict, were you drunk when you released it?" Blitz asks.

Celestia blushes a little. "The guards I needed wasn't here."

"I see." Blitz says disappearing on the balcony.

Celestia blushes a bit more before looking into her drawer and sees the bottle. "Guards, I need assistance." She calls to the outside.

Blitz is waiting in a very nice lounge in a mansion waiting for the godfather to see him. "I can't believe I'm doing this."

"Heh, believe it kid." A stallion said walking up. "Come on, he's ready for you." He said as he walks away with Blitz in the big mansion.

After a while he lets Blitz into an office where Blitz takes a seat and looks at the earth pony sitting it the desk. "Godfather." Blitz politely greets.

The earth pony nods. "Nice to finally see in my office Cross, to what do I owe the pleasure?"

"I'm here to discuss a mutually beneficial endeavor. I have heard recently a useful pawn has turned his back on you and even threatened to have you eliminated if you dare cross him." Blitz says.

The pony snorts. "Yeah, that's right. What's it to ya?"

"Let's just say an associate doesn't like how he is treating a member of his extended family." Blitz says.

The pony narrows his eyes at him. "Exactly how?"

"His wife. Anyways, even Celestia is had enough of him and is about to move against him. With that, the time is now right to break him in his own game." Blitz says.

The pony nods. "And how do you propose we do that?"

"We both know it is only through your protection he has remained untouchable. Being that way for so long has made him think can't be touched. So I'm asking for you to help by starting to get at him with a sting." Blitz says.

The pony leans forward. "And the sting you want?"

"Let's go with do you think, black market associations or potential slave trader would be better?" Blitz asks.

The pony keeps staring at him until he gets up. "Let's go for a ride."

"As you wish." Blitz says getting up.

The pony and a few others lead him out and surprisingly, Blitz sees a mare among the guards. "If you're wondering, I wanted to make equal opportunity. My daughters want to go into what was once called stallion work, but I allow them so I decided to allow some old bodyguards that are mares and once did guard work." The pony said as they made it underground and found themselves in a garage where a large black covered carriage that looks armored in the metal areas.

"Then they might be some of the most dangerous." Blitz says no hint of joking in his voice as they get in.

The pony chuckles. "Kia?" He said to the mare next to him. Kia nods and throws something into a corner of the garage and a cry rang out. "She's the best at being the quickest in the family."

"And also doesn't look like she could hurt a fly, making others underestimate her." Blitz says.

The pony laughs as the carriage pulls away and into the streets. "Yes, now onto real business. This politician has a wide range of power because of what we stopped for him. Businesses, homes, old rivals, he caught all their assets and pooled them together to fuel his own endeavor."

"Yeah, but what are his greatest assets right now?" Blitz asks.

The pony narrows his eyes and looks out the window which Blitz follows to see a power plant. "This city runs on it, his old rivals, they use to run almost all the plants. Now he owns all of them except one company. It's the only thing keeping him from gaining complete control and a monopoly. I don't even agree with that idea. It kinda makes things boring."

"There it is, his weakness then. That is how to start bringing him down." Blitz says.

The pony nods. "Yes, but you need to do it legally so the city doesn't side with him."

"That is why we create a false opening for him. Make him think he can get it through an illegal means, but our friend from internal affairs is there waiting and he busts him and being on the princess' orders, he can't weasel his way out of it so easily." Blitz says.

The pony smirks. "Where were you when I took over the city?"

"Hunting and killing. But this isn't enough, but it will give them a reason to reopen old cases and for somepony of your ability you would keep some evidence around just in case somepony forgets what they owe you. Then this evidence mysteriously reappears and witnesses who were either scared or bribed into silence start coming forward." Blitz says.

The pony nods. "Yes, but the reason you came here, your ultimate goal?"

"To break him and protect the family of one of my associates. Also to send a message through the underworld you mess with my friends or family I will break you beyond recognition." Blitz says.

The pony chuckles. "Alright, let's get you an idea of what you have to work with." He said as they stop in front of a large building. "This is the capital building. I already scheduled a meeting with him, saying you have some proposition for him."

"I see. So tell me, if I offer him my services in bounty hunting and he sics me on you, how can we best turn that against him?" Blitz asks.

The pony shrugs. "No idea. You have those expertise, but there is one thing he can't resist. Getting a good business deal." He said as a guard gives Blitz a briefcase. "Every single paper you need to make it look real is in there. You are now offering to give the last power plant."

"Understood. Say, what important businesses does he have around here that aren't truly legal? That we can stage a bombing on and give the internal affairs pony an excuse to search it and bust him on that as well?" Blitz asks.

The pony smiles as he turns to the stores across the street. "Over there." He said as Blitz looks over and sees a large shopping section that has many shops and too many ponies. "He owns all the shops there and some of the shops expanding across the city is his as well. Now some of the stores are corrupt, especially with dodging taxes and that's something you can't ever do."

"And any other front for other non-legal businesses?" Blitz asks.

The pony shrugs. "Simply, other things this city needs. Power, you already know, then there is some in water and has some the worst water way past the filtration laws, gas is actually okay, then there is the governmental buildings. He somehow got his hooves on those. Now you see why a lot of ponies fear to go against him?"

"Well, if all else fails, Celestia has issued orders for him to disappear." Blitz says.

The pony sighs. "You better go, the appointment time is getting close." He said as one of the guards opens the door.

"Very well. Also, your boy named Silver Hoof." Blitz says before pulling out a photo of said pony getting a payoff from one of Secure Star's men. "I thought you would want to deal with him personally for the betrayal." Blitz says.

The pony frowns. "Out now."

"Yes sir." Blitz says getting out and walks into the building.

Blitz sits in the office once again. "The deal is set and I also installed something in his office." Blitz says to the Godfather.

The pony nods. "Good, now we just need him to take the fall, problem is he's heading out to a family reunion, from his wife's side. I think everything should still fall for him though."

"Well maybe we can learn something from what I planted in his office." Blitz says putting a device on the desk and turning it on and then the Godfather and Blitz started to hear Secure Star speaking.

"That washed up has been of a Godfather is becoming an eyesore, can't you just bomb his mansion?" Secure Star asks his men in his office.

"Are you kidding? They'll have your ties to him will be found." A pony said.

"Who would dare go against me now?" Secure Star yells.

"The investigators for the reports on how the fire started." Another said.

"Ha, I could bury them." Secure Star says.

"You know boss, I heard that an internal affairs officer is coming." Another one says.

"Let them, he won't find…what?!" Secure Star asks as they hear a door open.

"Boss, bad news, they found some files about your finances that don't add up and are sending a pony to investigate on Celestia's personal authority." A new voice says.

Secure growls. "Dammit, okay find a way to make up the money in those areas and…Fiddle? What do you want?"

They hear Fiddle shuffle a bit. "Honey, we have to get going, the reunion is coming up and we might be late if we wait another day."

SLAP

"Bitch! I know, now leave me to my work and I'll get you to your precious reunion and shut that baby up." Secure yells as they hear a foal crying.

"Boss, what can we do? We can't just move against from internal affairs so openly." The stallion says.

Secure huffs. "We have to hide the missing money, raise the price and place some charges under misc. charges. That should cover the next bill for this month. Now then…" He said as he heard getting up before a shriek comes out. "Come on, we got some business of our own." He said as some dragging is heard.

"You mean we are going to go after the plant now, boss?" The stallion asks.

"Buy it, we're going to need it and do the same thing on those bills. Come on Fiddle, let's have some fun." He said before a door is heard slamming and then cries broke out, muffled.

"Looks like it's time for our internal affairs friend to go there." Blitz says getting up.

The pony nods. "Get it done, you don't treat family like that."

Blitz nods before disappearing.

Blitz, in his normal clothes and mirror sunglasses, waits in hiding with three squads of royal guards and Shining Armor waiting.

"Yes Shining Armor, I have a reliable tip they are coming and no, this isn't a good time to talk about Princess Twilight." Blitz whispers.

Shining glares at him. "Then how much longer?"

"Haven't you ever heard of a stake out, now be quiet, I hear something coming." Blitz hissed.

They all watch as a large carriage pulls up and some ponies flied out. Then the ponies heads to the plant and push some of the ponies of the plant away. "And here comes the deal." Blitz said as a pony comes out that he recognizes as the Godfather's henchpony. They talk for a bit as the ponies give the henchpony some papers and he nods before giving them some papers and some keys.

Blitz makes some signals as Secure walks to the door. The guards all head down as the plant ponies gives the guards some keys and cards as Secure stays by the carriage. "Welcome to your first sting." Blitz said as he gets up and heads down as he sees the carriage and notices two ponies inside. He heads to the carriage and sees Fiddle smiling at her foal playing around. "Mr. Secure, right?" Blitz asks adjusting his hat.

Secure looks to him. "Who wants to know?"

"Internal Affairs." Blitz says as all the guards spring into action crossbows trained on him and his henchponies. "We received an anonymous tip that somepony would be attempting to sabotage and destroy the plant and seeing how you showed up, we must assume it is you." Blitz says.

Secure frowns. "This is just a business deal, nothing else. Why would I, a politician, destroy something this city needs?"

"I don't know, but we will be finding out." Blitz says as the guards start putting the ponies in chains, Secure first.

Secure huffs. "You will regret this, I'll be cleared." He said as a guard takes Fiddle's foal in his hooves and Fiddle was chained up as well.

Blitz scoffs as they were taken away, except for Fiddle and her foal. "You okay?" Blitz asks as the guards released her and gives the foal back to her.

"Yes officer, we are fine." Fiddle says scared.

"Please come with me." Blitz says escorting her to another carriage.

Fiddle shushes the foal in her hooves as she heads into another carriage and they were pulled away. "What's going on?"

"It's been awhile. Nearly twenty years, cousin Fiddle." Blitz says taking off his glasses.

Fiddle looks surprised. "Blitzkrieg?"

"I see you remember me." Blitz says smiling.

Fiddle smiles. "How can I forget the colt who help me play the fiddle?"

"I did?" Blitz asks.

Fiddle giggles. "Well…more like brought the fiddle then rather teach me."

Blitz smiles as the carriage heads down the street. "Yeah, that was my weeks' worth of allowance. Good bye rare comic. Anyway, you hungry? Catch up on the old days and maybe see your family, your real family?"

"What are you doing here?" Fiddle asks.

"Truthfully, working in internal affairs right now and taking you to see your family. Already got a room set for you and this little guy in Ponyville." Blitz says.

Fiddle holds up her little colt to him. "Liner, look, it's your uncle Blitzkrieg." She said as the colt laughs as he reaches for him.

Blitz smiles and grabs the foal. "Hey there." Blitz says.

The foal laughs and hugs him as Fiddle sits by him. "Think you could get something to eat, Liner here is pretty hungry." She said poking his stomach which he giggles at.

"Sure. After all, we are here." Blitz says as the carriage stops and Blitz opens the door to show Ponyville.

Fiddle gaps as she steps out and sees Octavia and Applejack coming over. "Hey cousin." Applejack said as Blitz plays with Liner.

"B…But how?" Fiddle asks.

"I have my ways and friends in the royal guard who constantly used a teleport spell on the carriage." Blitz says poking Liner and playing with him.

Fiddle looks around and sees some of the Apple family of the reunion coming over. "I thought it was tomorrow?"

Applejack smiles. "I told them about what's going on and had some come over early to help you."

Octavia suddenly hugs her. "You don't have to be afraid anymore, we're here now."

"And I, unfortunately, have to get back and continue my investigation." Blitz says giving Liner back to her.

Fiddle looks to him. "Blitzkrieg, thank you for this."

"What's family for?" Blitz asks getting back into the carriage and it teleports away with the driver.

Fiddle smiles as she looks to her family. "So what now?"

"We celebrate." Applejack says.

"Seems the sting went off without a hitch and the cases are being reopened." Blitz says to the Godfather in his office.

The pony laughs. "Was there any doubt? Besides, we now have more control now that he's gone and some of the citizens can finally get some fair prices."

"Yeah, but this is only the opening move. We need to redouble our efforts now that we have an opening to exploit." Blitz says.

The pony nods. "We'll give whatever you need, but only you."

"Understood. What about bombing an empty room in this shop that we know is doing illegal business they can't cover quickly or easily." Blitz says.

The pony smirks. "What store?" He asks before a muffled explosion sounded out and some screams came as well. "Oops, my hoof slipped."

Blitz chuckled a bit. "I like you Godfather, you work quickly and efficiently." Blitz says.

The pony leans back and crosses both his legs and puts them on the desk. "As always."

"Ok, I will slip these into a safe in the building before the investigation starts." Blitz says.

The pony nods. "Get it done quickly, respond time is kinda…" He looks to where Blitz was, but couldn't see him and the guards only shrugs. "Wish I can have that."

"So what are we looking at Armor?" Blitz asks walking in to the crime scene.

Shining throws some papers down. "Tax evasions mostly, but there is some deals not adding up. They either have missing money or they don't exist. And we have been tracking the money and it leads to shell or dummy corporations. This guy is really heavy on corruption." Armor says as they walk.

"We searched everywhere so far?" Blitz asks.

Shining shakes his head. "There are still more coming in, this is just the fifth. Also, he placed hidden charges on the bill of the city services. Changing the city, my flank. There is one hidden charge here that reads 'Leak protection' on their pipes, not the citizens who are getting this. That is actually illegal. Services cannot charge their citizens insurance for their side. They get that from the city and the insurance they charge the citizens is for them."

"What about that safe, we crack it opened?" Blitz asks.

Shining nods. "Yep and boy we stuck gold. Lot of dirty dealings, especially with known black market executives. This guy is done."

"We freeze his assets, yet?" Blitz asks.

Shining chuckles. "Freeze it? The city wants him gone so they cut it off completely and sent the information about all the dealings to us and anything they had under him name. If it's so much as a receipt for groceries, they have it."

"I'm concerned he will try and weasel out of it with his friends. We are watching anypony with influence moving to impede it or hiring lawyers for him?" Blitz asks.

Shining smiles. "We kinda made the mistake of already placing a lawyers from the city for him and all of his associates."

"We have to do that by law. You did tell the lawyer he doesn't have to try, right? That Celestia herself would secretly approve?" Blitz asks.

Shining nods. "Oh yeah, we already told everything to the lawyers."

"Now we have to shut down the illegally acquired companies and businesses and put them on the market." Blitz says.

Shining nods his head to another guard looking over paperwork. "He's working on finding the legal and illegal ones. We should have them all done by tomorrow."

"Also, I put the wife and foal under protection with her family, by the way." Blitz says, handing him a restraining order for Fiddle and Liner on Secure. "I think this will help, don't you?" Blitz asks.

Shining looks it over. "To stay away for…five miles. Wow. This will definitely do."

"Only five, I thought it was filed for a content away?" Blitz says.

Shining chuckles. "Judges for this are different, they need a reasonable distance, but I'm sure he can raise it a few more miles once we show him how much power this guy has."

"Tell him a thousand bits in it for them if they multiply by a hundred." Blitz says.

Shining nods. "I think we can manage that."

"Good, now tell me he is in a cell right now awaiting his trial. His very short trial that will end with him being guilty." Blitz says.

Shining sighs. "He's out on bail. Made it quickly before we could stop the accounts."

"I see, do we at least have his location?" Blitz asks.

Shining glares at some papers before throwing it to him. "Here, he's heading out and guess where."

"He is going where I think he is, forget the trial, I will execute him myself." Blitz says now getting angry.

Shining looks away as he grabs some papers. "Huh, that's weird, he was found mutilated by Timberwolves. Tough life."

"You don't say. I guess my cousin is now a widow…who is entitled to whatever legitimate businesses and money he had." Blitz says pausing in the middle.

Shining smirks a little. "Laws are so easy for accidental deaths."

"Yeah. Well our work here is done. All that is left is for them to sort out the rest." Blitz says.

Shining smiles as he looks over to him with a knowing smile. "What are talking about, we're done?"

"Yeah, now goodbye before you start on about Twilight again." Blitz says teleporting away.

Shining chuckles as he looks to the other guards. "You got the death reports written up, yet?"

"Yes, got it all right here." The guard says.

Fiddle sighs in relief as she feds Liner. "Here you go, eat up." She said while holding some food on her hoof. Liner smiles and takes the food. "Good boy." She said happily as she looks around. "We're going to be fine now Liner. Mean old daddy is not going to hurt us."

Blitz sighs as he walks into the apple family house. "Hi Fiddle and hey little Liner." Blitz greets.

Fiddle smiles as she turns to him. "Hey, what are you doing here?"

"I'm staying here mostly and Fiddle, I have news, not sure if it's good or bad for you." Blitz says.

Fiddle looks a bit confused. "What is it?"

"Your husband, after escaping jail, ran for it and was recently found torn apart by timber wolves." Blitz says taking his mirror sunglasses off.

Fiddle nods. "I see, can me and Liner have a moment alone?"

"Ok. I will be outside if you need me." Blitz says.

Fiddle sighs as he leaves and turns to Liner. "Looks like daddy is gone little Liner. Maybe we don't have to…" She stops as she looks behind him and sees something. "I thought…"

Blitz sighs as he stands outside and waits for her. It wasn't the door open did he notice something was wrong and hid. "Hang on Liner, we're going for a long walk." He heard. He looks up and see Secure holding Liner, fussing a bit.

Soon the guards in the area surround him. Blitz walks up to him as he puts his glasses back on and points a blaster at his face as he turn. "Think real hard about your next move." Blitz said.

Secure frowns before throwing Liner up as Liner yelled. Blitz immediately puts the blaster away and reaches for Liner as he fell and Secure ran into the forest. Blitz catches Liner as he turns to his communicator. "Flutter, get your friends in the forest to play with some meat. Minerva, tell Terran to go hunting." He said.

He then turns to Liner. "Let's get you back to mommy." He said before walking back inside and finds Fiddle on the ground. "Are you okay?" He asks as he helped her up.

Fiddle nods as she tries to sit down and holds Liner as Blitz gives him to her. "Yes, where's Secure?"

"Fled into the Everfree forest." Blitz says. 'And about to die.' Blitz thinks.

Fiddle nods as she tries to relax. "Can you stay with us until he's gone?"

"Sure. You are family." Blitz says sitting next to her.

Fiddle sighs as she holds out Liner. "Want to hold him?"

"Sure." Blitz says taking him and he grabs Blitz's mirror sunglasses and puts it on him.

Fiddle giggles as she watches him try to act like him. "He really wants to be his uncle."

"Oh that's adorable." Applejack says walking in.

Blitz shows Applejack Liner. "What do you think? He could be me, right?"

"Give him a few years and he will." Applejack says lying next to him and leans her head against her.

Liner giggles as he tries to make the same faces as Blitz. "Aww, look at him. He really does want to be you." Fiddle said.

"I guess I could teach him what I know when he gets a little older." Blitz says letting him climb on him and Applejack.

Applejack laughs as he grabs her ribbon. "He's a bundle of energy, that one."

"Yes he is." Blitz says before they heard a death scream.

Blitz smiles a bit as he communicator beeps. "Done, I'm sure the reports will match up." Minerva said.

"I think that was your former husband." Blitz says.

Fiddle keeps looking at him before sighing and leaning back in her seat. "So what now?"

"Legally, all his legal businesses and money goes to you." Blitz says.

Fiddle looks surprised to him. "All mine?"

"Yes." Blitz says.

Fiddle looks in front of her as she tries to think. "But…I'm not really in Manehatten that much, mostly in the farms."

"Just hire somepony to run them. You just have to own them to get money to support Liner here." Blitz says.

Fiddle keeps staring. "So…I can still work on the farm and play my shows?"

"Yes you can." Blitz says.

Fiddle looks to them. "So what now?"

"What do you want to do Fiddle?" Blitz asks.

Fiddle looks to Applejack. "Reunion?"

"Reunion starts officially tomorrow. After all, we have to welcome back our long lost relative." Applejack says a hoof snaking around Blitz bringing him closer.

Fiddle looks to Blitz. "Oh yeah, how long has it been?"

"Nearly twenty years." Blitz says.

Fiddle nods. "Yeah, I guess it has been that long. Still, you really changed."

"What, I'm too handsome to handle now?" Blitz jokes.

Fiddle giggles. "Maybe I should consider you for a husband."

"Sorry cuz, I already laid claim." Applejack says smiling as they joke.

Fiddle looks to her. "Really, but isn't he family?"

"Very distant family and he is adopted, so no problems." Applejack says.

"Tell me you saw this coming when we were foals." Blitz says.

Fiddle shakes her head. "Not really, I thought you would go for that electric blue maned unicorn."

"What electric blue maned unicorn?" Blitz asks.

Fiddle thinks for a few. "The one that's a DJ now."

"I'm not sure I know who you are talking about, but I have seen a mare like that in the club though every pony assumed she was a stallion." Blitz says.

Fiddle nods. "Yeah, she kinda is like a stallion."

"I think she has her own style of beauty." Blitz says.

Fiddle nods. "Yeah, though now I have to deal with a lot of paperwork and then there's this little guy." She said poking Liner who laughs.

"Ok Fiddle, I'll see you later." Blitz says putting back on his sunglasses.

Liner whines a bit as he reaches for him.

"Don't worry my nephew, I will be back soon." Blitz says moving in close enough so Liner could touch his nose.

Liner giggles. "Bye, bye."

Blitz smiles. "Bye for now." Blitz says.

Applejack hugs Fiddle as well as Liner. "Bye you two, see you at the reunion."

Blitz gets up and leaves as Applejack let's go and follows him. "So what now?" She asks after a while.

"Still have to help Octavia, remember?" Blitz asks.

Applejack sighs. "Let's go."

"You have to stay and work the farm, remember?" Blitz asks.

Applejack frowns. "Oh…yeah. Can you help a bit? As a future mate, you need to help."

"Ok." Blitz looks out to several trees full of apples and uses his magic to levitate all of the apples into empty brackets nearby. "Twi has taught me well, huh?" He jokes.

Applejack slaps his flank. "You need to also do it the earth pony way."

"I don't have the time. Besides, I just decreased the workload by seven percent." Blitz says smirking.

Applejack just raises an eyebrow. "Are those glasses of yours helping?"

"Nope, these are just mirror sunglasses. What, think they make me look sexy?" Blitz jokes.

Applejack sighs before grabbing him by the collar of his shirt and brings him in for a quick kiss which she quickly let's go as she blushed heavily. "Good enough answer?"

"Not really, is this?" Blitz asks grabbing her and leaning her backwards before kissing her.

Applejack yelps in surprise before feeling the kiss for a while before he lets go and brings her up again. "Um…yeah."

Blitz pulls her forward and back onto her hooves. "I have defiantly improved, right?" Blitz asks walking away, not waiting for an answer.

It wasn't until he feels a rope around him did he stop. "Whoa there lover boy. You ain't done." She said bringing him back.

"We can continue later Jackie. After all, you did ask me to help Octavia for you because you couldn't with the harvest." Blitz reminds.

Applejack pulls him back and holds him from behind. "Do you at least remember when I said I loved you more than you excepted?"

"Yeah, I do." Blitz says reaching around and pats her on the hat.

Applejack smiles. "I can have you remember that night during reunion week. I just need you in your room at the Darkstar."

"You mean tied up and you sleeping with me in my bed?" Blitz asks.

Applejack shakes her head. "No, just holding each other."

"Alright Jackie, but we don't need my bed. We got yours." Blitz says.

Applejack smiles. "Bring an old picture of yourself if you want that. We need something for the album and then we can have a whole family reunion picture after that."

"Alright Jackie, I will." Blitz says before teleporting out of her hooves and reappearing behind her and hugging her from behind.

Applejack sighs as she leans back. "You can have the others come over if you want, all I need is you."

"We shall see about that. Now we best get going and get our jobs done." Blitz says.

Applejack nods and turns her head to him. "Just remember, a young picture of yourself." She said before kissing his cheek.

"Alright, I will see if Minerva has one on record." Blitz says starting to walk towards to the town.

Applejack smiles as she watches him, especially his flank. She just licks her lips as she watches the muscles moves. "That's going to be yummy soon." She said before heading to the farm.

Blitz knocks on Octavia's door. "Coming." A mare calls that Blitz knew wasn't Octavia.

The door soon opened to show an electric blue maned unicorn. "Hey bud, whatcha need?"

"I'm here to speak with Miss. Octavia." Blitz says as both their glasses reflect each other's image.

Vinyl smiles. "Sure bud, one sec." She said before closing the door before opening it again. "Say, after this, you want listen to some of my music?"

"Sure." Blitz says.

Vinyl grins before shutting the door again and then Blitz hears some electric feedback. "Octy you are needed at the door, Octy you are needed at the door. There's a hot piece of meat waiting for you." He heard.

"What are you going on about Vinyl?" Octavia's voice was heard coming downstairs.

Blitz smiles as the door opens again and Octavia stands there. "Oh, hey Mr. Blitzkrieg. What do you need?"

"Just wanted to inform you everything has been settled and please, just Blitz." Blitz says.

Octavia nods. "Thanks for everything, can you tell her that hers and the foal's room is ready?"

"Yeah, she is currently staying at the Apple's farm." Blitz says.

Octavia smiles. "Thanks for saving our family."

"No need for thanks. I always help family." Blitz says.

Octavia sighs. "Well, thanks again. You need anything from us?"

"No, but your roommate invited me in. I don't think she would like if I left so soon, but is there anything I can help you with?" Blitz asks.

Octavia smirks. "Yeah, can you hold yourself up against a horny mare?"

"I know a barrier spell." Blitz jokes.

Octavia sighs and steps inside. "Just be careful around her. She likes to really have fun with the one who could fill her in any way."

"Don't worry I have experience warding off such ponies." Blitz says following her inside.

Octavia nods and opens a door that leads to a staircase leading down. "It might get loud, so get use to it." She said before going upstairs.

"Oh don't worry about me. Though it is cute you worry about me. " Blitz says.

Octavia tried to hold her blush. "Shut up and get down there."

"As you command." Blitz says using his magic to shut the door for her.

Blitz chuckles as he heads down and hears heavy thumping. He soon comes to a door where it was actually bulging out with every beat until he opens it and was actually blown back by the force. "Wow!" Blitz exclaimed as he forced his way through the wind of music.

"You see what I meant?!" Octavia asks.

Blitz was still trying to fight the wind and was suddenly blown back into another mare who catches him. "Hey dude!"

"You are Vinyl Scratch?" Blitz asks adjusting his glasses.

Vinyl nods. "Yeah dude, like the beats?!"

"It's got a nice beat, just takes some getting used to the force behind the sound waves." Blitz says.

Vinyl hugs him tight and cheers out. "Heck yeah! Want to really enjoy the beat?!"

"Let me guess, you can crank it up more so?" Blitz asks.

Vinyl somehow throws him onto the top of one of the large speakers before turning the dial up and then jumping from her seat and jumping on top of him and straddling him. "And this!"

"A little forward aren't you?" Blitz asks.

Vinyl starts to grind against him. "Heck yeah."

"Sorry, but you gotta marry to get that." Blitz says teleporting to beside Octavia.

Vinyl jumps off the speaker and lands in front of him. "So can I?"

"I believe there is an edict from the princess on that." Octavia says.

"Yeah there is." Blitz says slightly annoyed at Octavia before disappearing before their eyes. "But you gotta catch me first." Blitz says, reappearing leaning on Vinyl's back.

Vinyl bucks her back up and sends him flying to which she jumps up on her own and grabs him. "Gotcha."

Blitz smirks before disappearing before reappearing in front of the path of his sunglasses that flew off him. "Not that easy." Blitz says as he picks them up, giving both a perfect view of his golden yellow eyes.

Both mares stare at his eyes before throwing themselves at him.

"And this is why I now wear these glasses." Blitz says before dodging in between them.

Both mares then grab his back legs and pulls him to the ground.

"Man, you two are persistent. Vinyl you warned me about, but Octavia I'm surprised you have the reputation of being such a classy mare." Blitz says teleporting a few feet away and starting to feel a strain on his magic.

The mares then throws themselves again at him and latch onto his neck and bites at it before nibbling on it.

"Girls!" Blitz yells getting their attention.

Octavia snaps out of it, but Vinyl kept going. "Blitz, what…?"

"You two are in heat, aren't you?" Blitz asks.

Octavia looks away as Vinyl still went on.

"Could you please bring me a bucket of ice cold water?" Blitz asks. Octavia sighs as she uses her magic and brings a bucket in front of him. Blitz used his magic to levitate it over himself and Vinyl before pouring it onto both of them.

Vinyl shakes the water off of her as she looks to him. "What happened?"

"You went a little crazy with heat." Blitz says.

Vinyl looks at him before looking at his neck and let's go. "Sorry about that."

"It's fine. You're not the first mares to throw themselves at me." Blitz says thinking over whether or not to put back on his sunglasses before noticing Vinyl lost here's in the whole thing. "By the way your red eyes are cute." Blitz says.

Vinyl blushes as she looks away. "They're not that cute."

"You're right, they are beautiful to me." Blitz says.

Vinyl blushes some more. "Shut up, they're ugly okay?! They're ugly!" She yelled as she turned red.

"I didn't know it was opposite day. Did you Octavia?" Blitz asks as Octavia found it amusing as somepony was actually embarrassing Vinyl with compliments.

Octavia sighs. "Tell him Vinyl, you can trust him." She said as she looks concerned at her.

"I'm half vamp…" Vinyl starts but is cut off by Blitz. "Vampire."

Vinyl looks to him. "How did you…?"

"I know almost everything on vampires after all, I carry scars from Bloody Mary and the correct term for you is Dhampiresa." Blitz says hoofly.

Vinyl rubs her leg with her hoof as she still looks away. "So you don't hate me?"

"No, a few months ago I would be probably up there terrified, but who wouldn't have a phobia against all vampires after Bloody Mary." Blitz says pointing to the beam before hooking a leg around Vinyl.

Vinyl blushes a bit as he holds her close. "Um…are you okay with this?"

"Yeah, I'm fine with it. After all, you can't spread the vampirism through bites. So I don't have to worry about this." Blitz said, touching his neck.

Vinyl looks to him before getting close to his neck again. "Ca…can I?"

"Fine, just don't take much blood." Blitz says.

Vinyl gets her muzzle close to his neck before licking it a little and then biting it and holds herself there as she starts to drink and wraps her hooves around him. Blitz just sits there and waits, going so far to get a book out to start reading as Octavia just watches stunned. Vinyl soon let's go slowly and licks it a few times before looking away. "Thanks."

"So you hadn't had blood in what, three months?" Blitz guesses.

Vinyl blushes heavily. "Try years."

"I see. So why don't you two tell me about yourselves." Blitz says.

Vinyl leans her head against him. "Can you carry me?"

"Very well." Blitz says letting her lay on his back.

"Reminds me of when I have to drag you back home drunk." Octavia says leading him upstairs.

Vinyl buries her face into his coat. "Shut up." She said, muffled by him.

"She like this while fried?" Blitz asks.

Octavia shakes her head. "No, she would usually suggest things to do to me as I carry her. This is different."

"Ah, so she is not usually this content." Blitz says reaching the upstairs.

Octavia nods. "Yeah, she told me, but I wouldn't allow her. I didn't realize that her life was going to calm down once she drank."

"Yeah, don't expect it to last." Blitz says.

"Blitz, can I drink again?" Vinyl asks from his back.

"You already drank more than a pint of my blood. You drink anymore and I will start getting light headed." Blitz says as Octavia walked back in with a medical kit.

Vinyl keeps looking into his coat. "Please."

"Fine." Blitz relents.

Vinyl clamps down onto the old bite and starts to drink again as Blitz lays down to prevent her from falling off if he fell. Then he noticed he was getting light headed and gaining some sweat. 'Wait, that isn't sweat.' He thought as he felt a wetness on a specific spot on his back. "Great, now I'm going to have to have this washed." Blitz says as Vinyl finally let's go.

Vinyl tries to breathe as she catches her breath. "Blitz, can I stay with you?"

"Huh?" Blitz and Octavia asks as Vinyl sounds more and more drunk.

Vinyl still was breathing. "I want to stay with you."

"Vinyl, you sound drunk." Blitz says as he feels her start to sway.

Vinyl frowns a little. "I don't…" She couldn't say anymore as she fell over and just stares at him. "Don't leave me."

"Oh great, you haven't drank blood since you hit puberty haven't you?" Blitz asks.

Vinyl blushes beet red. "Yeah, I never had anypony and Octy wouldn't give me one."

"I see." Blitz says noticing Vinyl started snoring.

Octavia groans. "This is all my fault. I should have let her drink at least."

"Then she would have imprinted on you and you would most likely be in a lesbian relationship." Blitz says.

Octavia looks to him. "So you…?"

"She will feel attracted to me from now on, but won't be able to remember this." Blitz says as Octavia bandaged his neck.

Octavia looks worried to her. "So you're going to leave her?"

"I live in town." Blitz says.

Octavia hits him. "You know that's not what I meant."

"Ok, it isn't exactly healthy for a Dhampiresa to be close to the one she has imprinted on for a awhile after they imprint or could well get blood crazed for the flavor of the blood of the imprinted on." Blitz says.

Octavia sighs as she wraps the bandages around him. "So what are you going to do now?"

"Steer clear for two days before coming back. She should be passed the phase by then. Though I only have second hoof experience to base this on. There hasn't been a known Dhampiresa in centuries." Blitz says.

Octavia looks to him. "Because there wasn't."

"No, because most are either like Bloody Mary or well blood crazed and lost all sense of self and are just wild animals seeking to state their thirst." Blitz says putting back on his glasses.

Octavia presses her lips together. "Blitz, is Vinyl actually that old?"

"She is probably your age range, seventeen, and eighteen?" Blitz asks.

Octavia didn't know how to respond to that at first.

"Don't tell me you are sixteen." Blitz says causing Octavia to start to giggle.

"No silly, I'm twenty. Vinyl's twenty one." She said.

"Oh, I apologize if I insulted you." Blitz says.

Octavia waves him off. "It's fine. Through, I wonder what happened to her in the old century. She just told me when and not how."

"Wait, you said she was twenty one." Blitz says confused.

Octavia nods. "Yes, as a cover because of her body. She's actually at least two millenniums old. Heck, she saw Luna's banishment."

"I see, so the legendary last Dhampiresa. Vinyl, a vampire stallion claiming to be your father is here to see you." Blitz says causing Vinyl to wake up immediately.

"Huh, what?! What about my father?!" Vinyl asks as she got up.

"Yeah, Dracula himself is here." Blitz says.

Vinyl groans. "Very funny…how did you know who my dad is?"

"The last ever born millenniums ago was the child of Dracula, but it never said whether it was a stallion or a mare. Man, I wonder how Bloody Mary would have reacted to you." Blitz says.

Vinyl sighs. "Come at me and hope to have me."

"More like try to destroy you. After all, your father was the first to kill her. I just finished the job." Blitz says getting Vinyl's attention.

Vinyl looks to him. "You killed her?"

"Three times, to be precise and the last time I smashed the thing that the devil gave her as a sign of their contract. With that shattered, she was just another vampire and can't come back." Blitz says.

"Wait, that means your Southern Cross?" Octavia asks.

Blitz nods. "Yep, the one and only."

Vinyl looked at him before tackling him.

Blitz looks up as Vinyl laid her head on his chest. "Um…?"

Vinyl now had a smirk with her fangs out as she looked like hungry. "Um…Octavia, a hoof please." Blitz requests.

Octavia sighs and pulls Vinyl off of him. "Easy girl, leave him wet and ready to go with a full load if you want him."

"She is slipping into blood craze. I will catch you later." Blitz says disappearing.

Octavia smiles as she held Vinyl sniffing around. "He'll be back. Don't you worry girl."

"We must have him my thrall." Vinyl says.

Octavia giggles. "Oh boy." She said to herself as she petted Vinyl's mane.

"He is the best specimen I have ever come across and he also let me drink his blood." Vinyl says showing she was faking her blood craze.

Octavia watches in amusement. "Do you love him?"

Vinyl smiles and licks her lips. "Hmmm." She says fantasizing.

Octavia leans close to her ear. "And what are you thinking of doing to him?"

"The better question is what we will do with him." Vinyl says.

Octavia nuzzles her. "And the things we can do, maybe you can go first and he'll just empty everything he has in you?"

"Oh no, I don't want to kill him, besides he is right. I can't turn him into a vampire or a Dhampir like myself." Vinyl says.

Octavia smiles. "Then what are you going to do, ride him until you pass out?"

"Oh yeah." Vinyl says.

Octavia smiles as she keeps nuzzling her. "How about me? What do I get?"

"You get the pleasure and later you will bear foals." Vinyl says.

Octavia nods. "Yes, I'm just a foal bearer, aren't I?"

"Better than before, after all, I made you fertile when you were barren." Vinyl says.

Octavia moans. "Yes master, can I have a sample of what he might give from you?"

"Yes you may." Vinyl says.

Octavia moans as she keeps nuzzling her. "Master, I need something now."

"Let's go and…I didn't notice before, but there was an artificial vampire mark on him." Vinyl says.

Octavia hisses. "Who dares do that?"

"Fluttershy. She turned into an artificial vampire."

Octavia hisses. "Shall I take her out?"

"No, no, I will handle it later." Vinyl says.

Octavia hisses before using her own fangs and scratches her neck. "Can I help with anything else master?"

"No need, after all, I'm going to give you an example. Just don't turn him into a vampire like yourself." Vinyl says.

Octavia nods. "Yes master. Can this bitch do anything for you now?"

Vinyl grabs her tail and yanks it lightly. "No, but I will for you." Vinyl says.

Well now, this took a while too. Turns out the google drive system can't handle a 50k words and up word doc. It starts crashing around that time and the first one, we were really pushing it and it was crashing on us constantly before we decided to split the oneshot into many. And that's how this story was born. We were planning to make it a oneshot, but now it's a whole story. So when we start crashing and everything, we start on another. That's why on the last chapter, it looks like it just cuts off in mid dialogue. I can assure you, that's not the case. When I hit a line point, that's the cut off point for the next chapter, not in between.

So hoped you enjoy the story and don't hate it just because it's long. You clicked on it and saw the word count. What were you expecting?

Chapter 1 (Part 3): Space? Spaccccccccccce!

Blitz sighs as he brings up he communicator. "Fluttershy, do you know Vinyl?"

"Yes, why?" Fluttershy asks.

"She is a Dhampiresa." Blitz says.

Fluttershy's gasp is heard. "Oh my. Is she going to come after me?"

"I don't think so." Blitz says.

Fluttershy breathes a sigh of relief. "Anything else master?"

"She has imprinted on me and I'm suspicious if Octavia is either a vampire or a thrall under her control." Blitz says.

Fluttershy was silent for a bit. "You have to show her all this. She won't stop till she gets you. Or at least until she calms down."

"I always could go off planet, good luck to her finding me then." Blitz says.

Fluttershy stay a bit silent. "Let's do it. I don't think she would wait. The Apple reunion isn't on until three days so you are lucky."

"Very well, I will send you with a peace offering, ok?" Blitz asks.

Fluttershy sighs. "Take at least one of us so you don't have to worry. I heard Fleetfoot is back."

"I'm not going to start ritualistically sacrifice anypony Fluttershy and she isn't. Minerva, please have all the girls meet at Twilight's castle." Blitz says.

Minerva chimes in. "Of course, sending message."

"Fluttershy meet me there. This is going to be a long night." Blitz says.

"Long two nights." She said before signing off.

"Minerva, please include asking Twi to brew some coffee." Blitz adds.

Minerva sighs. "Of course, the girls are also on the way. Let's spend some time alone in space."

"I said in Twilight's castle." Blitz says.

Minerva giggles. "And I said they are on the way."

"Do you enjoy just ticking me off?" Blitz asks.

Minerva laughs. "Depends on who you're asking."

Blitz grumbles under his breath as he makes his way to the ship.

Later he finds himself sitting down as Twilight massages his shoulders. "Better?"

"A little." Blitz says. He sighs as he had just finished getting all the girls, but Daring, Spitfire and Fleetfoot were busy working.

Fluttershy was still licking at the bite mark on his neck, trying to make it heal faster. "So do you or do you not want to go into space master?"

"We can't keep doing that as it wastes fuel and that means having to buy more and wasting our credits." Blitz says mostly directing that at Minerva.

Minerva looks to him as he watches her. "What? I don't have a message from our leader." She said almost truthfully.

"Darkstar One is staying grounded for a while, understand?" Blitz asks.

Minerva groans. "Fine. Just don't make me flare the engine." She grumbles the last one under her breath.

"Now Fluttershy needs to take them a peace offering." Blitz says.

Fluttershy looks to him. "What do you suggest master?"

"Blood, more specifically, a few pints of mine. That will get their attention." Blitz says.

Fluttershy looks worried. "But isn't the whole idea to stay away, especially giving them blood?"

"You will give it to them in a container. I won't be there." Blitz says.

Fluttershy sighs. "Okay master. How do you want to do this?"

"Minerva, get it ready." Blitz says getting up.

Minerva nods as something unfolds behind her and reveals a bed with a few bags and lines attached to a hanging hook. "How much to do now?"

"Two pints." Blitz says, putting on a face mask as Minerva started to activate the medical equipment and started sending Blitz sleeping gas to breath. The mares all watched as Blitz slowly fell asleep and Minerva started to take blood into the bags.

Blitz groans as he opens his eyes and finds himself on the couch. "Girls?" He breathes out raspy.

"Shh…I'm trying to sleep." Rainbow says laying on top of him with a blanket over them.

Blitz sighs as he wraps a hoof around her and tries to fall asleep. "What happened?"

"You put yourself asleep to recover from the blood you lost." Rainbow says.

Blitz nods and looks down at her before kissing her head. "Where's the others?"

"Applejack is finishing up the harvest, Twi and Fluttershy went to discuss with Vinyl and Octavia, and me, I'm right here keeping an eye on you." Rainbow says.

Blitz sighs. "Rainbow?"

"Yeah?" Rainbow says moving up further and lays on his chest.

Blitz finds her hoof and holds it up to which she watches it before adjusting himself and Rainbow and placing her hoof between them. "You can just mess with it, but no further. I still feel the stinging and need something else to take my mind off of it."

"Really?" Rainbow asks.

Blitz nods. "No further, just…touch it. The stinging is kinda keeping me up."

"Alright." Rainbow says before lightly doing what he asked.

Blitz moans as he feels her hoof moving around. "That's a little better. Just keep doing that until I fall asleep again."

"Alright Blitz." Rainbow says leaning back onto his chest.

"So will you accept the peace offering?" Twilight asks looking at both Vinyl and Octavia.

Vinyl just looks at the blood bag. "I don't know. What else can he do?"

"He only wants you not to do anything till his relatives leave." Twilight says generally unhappy.

Vinyl slowly grins. "Alright, but he stays with us for a night. He can choose whatever he wants if he wants too."

"After the reunion." Twilight says.

Vinyl waves her off as she takes the bag. "Yeah, yeah. Whatever."

"I'm watching you, so don't try anything funny." Twilight adds before she and Fluttershy leave.

Vinyl smiles. "His eyes are beautiful you know."

Twilight stops at the door and shoots her a glare before leaving.

Vinyl chuckles before turning her head slightly. "Oh bitch." She calls.

"I'm right here Vinyl." Octavia says.

Vinyl glares at her. "What did I say to call me?"

"The artificial vampire is listening in and you told me to not act that way when somepony is around or listening." Octavia says in a posh way.

Vinyl groans as she watches the door. "Surprise her and get her away."

"No need, she is running away since I said that." Octavia says.

Vinyl sighs. "My senses are dull still. I need him."

"I thought it was because your body is still adjusting. After all, you were reborn only twenty one years ago and only awoke seven years ago." Octavia says.

Vinyl looks to the ceiling. "That and he awoke a lot of my power again, but I still need more to get to full power."

"So you have enough power to keep up with my movements now?" Octavia asks.

"Yeah, I'm at thirty percent of my power." Vinyl says.

Octavia sighs. "Okay, anything else you need master?"

"Nothing right now." Vinyl says.

Octavia nods. "Yes master. Need something to eat along with your meal?" She said as she eyes the blood bag.

"No, I'm going to enjoy this too much." Vinyl says grabbing the bags with her magic. "You know, I'm glad this body is a unicorn. It is so much more convenient to not need to open or hold things with hooves, though I do miss flying." Vinyl says.

Octavia nods. "Yes master. Can this bitch do anything for you?"

"Go see if you can find him and watch him." Vinyl says.

Octavia bows. "Yes master." She said before heading out.

Vinyl smiles as she bites into one of the blood bags.

"Twilight?" Fluttershy asks as they walk.

"Yes?" Twilight asks agitated.

Fluttershy sighs. "We can't protect him from this."

"I don't want them near him. Last time a vampire came after Blitz, we almost lost him." Twilight says.

Fluttershy clears her throat.

"I'm speaking about Bloody Mary. Not you Fluttershy." Twilight clarified.

Fluttershy nods. "I know, it's just that we may not have a choice. She's imprinted and she will hunt him down to be with him."

"Or feed off him." Twilight says.

'Ah, that's it. You fear the worse.' Fluttershy thinks.

Twilight sighs. "I just don't want him to have scars than he needs."

"It's ok." Fluttershy says offering a hoof.

Twilight sighs and takes it. "Thanks, but can you try to lessen the damage for him?"

"To tell the truth, I'm scared of them Twilight. This a something from Dracula, the king of vampire's line and she is millenniums old that is a testament to her power and I hate to say this, but she may be the equal or superior that the power of all three other princesses." Fluttershy says.

Twilight now looks extremely worried. "Is there a way to help him?"

"I don't know, the only one who is an expert on vampires that we know is him specifically." Fluttershy says.

Twilight stomps her hoof. "Dammit. But he could possibly know." She said walking back to the palace.

"Maybe, it's a good thing he is on the Darkstar One at least. I doubt even they can track it." Fluttershy says.

Twilight nods. "Yeah, but he might know somepony who could at least look into this more than we could or Blitz could."

"Maybe." Fluttershy says as they enter the palace.

Blitz starts to awaken. As he opens his eyes, he looks right into a pair of cerise eyes. "Morning Rainbow." Blitz greets.

Rainbow smiles and kisses him for a bit. "Hey sexy. Thanks for letting me do that. You are kinda bigger than the shower we did."

"Yeah, yeah. Mind getting off? I need coffee and food." Blitz says.

Rainbow grins and gets off of him and throws the blanket of them as she got up. "Boy that's a nice view."

"Yeah, yeah, you are sexy." Blitz says half asleep, getting up and walking towards the kitchen.

Rainbow giggles. "I meant you and your big friend sexy." She said as she looks under him.

"Too tired, need coffee and food before witty retort." Blitz says.

Rainbow giggles as he fumbles with the food left behind and grabs a bag of chips and rips it open before eating away at it and drinking some bottles before putting them down and turns to her. "Want to lay down and play with it?" He asks with a grin.

Rainbow does a spit takes and coughs a bit before asking. "I thought you said you needed food and coffee before a witty retort?"

Blitz smiles. "This gave me enough for one. Now brew some coffee for me while I take a shower." He said, walking away.

'Oh I will definitely get you back for that.' Rainbow thinks as she does what he asked.

Blitz sighs as he leans against the wall of the shower. "Looks like it's time for advice."

"I advise garlic, lots of garlic." Minerva says.

"That might work on Octavia if she is a vampire now, but not on Vinyl. Being a Dhampiresa, she doesn't have most weaknesses from vampires and since Octavia can go out in the day perfectly fine, it means that if she is a Thrall of Vinyl, then that negates most of the weaknesses as well." Blitz says.

Minerva sighs as she enter the shower, surprising him a little. "Then what are you going to do?"

"I don't know, most Dhampiresa don't survive long usually because most vampires and ponies hate them and want to kill them. Vinyl is very old and powerful to boot and she is also the daughter of Dracula, the only true king of vampires." Blitz says.

Minerva looks worried to him as she walks over and leans into him. "You can't accept them?"

"That's not the question I'm worrying over. Its weather Vinyl has any plans or not. Give it to me straight, what do you think the other three princesses chances are if she recovers full strength and takes them on?" Blitz says.

Minerva sighs and leans up before pushing him against the wall and leans into his neck. "Not good. Are you afraid of her?"

"I managed to kill Bloody Mary, but only after much research and preparations, but her, I got a glimpse of her power when she drank a little of my blood. I felt like I was being crushed. Not even Mary could do that so easily." Blitz says.

Minerva touches her nose with his. "Then what are you going to do?"

"We got to play this by ear for now Minerva. This time, we are the mouse and Vinyl might be a tiger." Blitz says.

Minerva nods slowly before giving him a kiss and pulling back a little. "Promise me something?"

"What?" Blitz asks.

Minerva looks to him. "Don't die again. I can't deny that you will get hurt, but I don't want you to die."

"I won't. Now it's past time you gave me an update on Lightning Dust." Blitz says.

Minerva nuzzles his neck. "She's fine. She is able to hold up in the situations well and is bringing in the low level bounty and earning her pay and filling our account as well. Her skills are really improving and her friendship with Terran is also improving as well."

"Good, put her through a level four simulation and start searching for a very dangerous creature. I have a feeling she will be ready for her ritual hunt and then join the ranks of the Mandalorians." Blitz says.

Minerva nods. "Okay, just be careful, I don't want to lose you."

"I will, have you taken her measurements for an armor yet?" Blitz asks.

Minerva nods. "Yes, she just needs to pass her next boundary and she can afford her own. All I have to do is give her measurements."

"Prepare her a mandalorian armor." Blitz says surprising Minerva.

Minerva looks to him. "Why? Why not her own?"

"She will be Mandalorian contact the one who makes my armors and give him the information. I will buy her first armor like Mandalore did for me when I passed my ritual bloodying." Blitz says.

Minerva sighs. "Okay. I'll see what I can do. Now…" She started as she grabbed the sponge and got down on her knees. "Let's clean you up."

After the shower, Blitz walks out in a blue bathrobe to the kitchen. There he finds Rainbow sitting in front of the coffee machine as it brews some coffee. "You okay Rainbow?" He said as he walks up to her.

"Yeah, hey Blitz. Would it be okay if I wore something other than a dress to the wedding?" Rainbow asks.

Blitz smiles as he takes some coffee. "Sure, what do you want to wear?"

"I would like to wear the uniform they gave us when we became Wonderbolt reserves." Rainbow says looking sheepishly.

Blitz smiles. "Sure, might make you sexy wearing one. All that tightness and curves on a very sexy mare."

"Oh, you know, I have been wondering. Who will be first?" Rainbow asks leaning on him.

Blitz stops. "Um…I don't know. Who do you think?"

"I have a few suggestions, but I will keep them to myself for now. Don't you have an appointment with Rarity anyways?" Rainbow asks.

Blitz looks to her. "Yeah, want to do something before I go?"

"Breakfast with you is good." Rainbow says.

Blitz smirks. "Want something made from me?"

"Yeah, I hate to admit it, but I'm not the best cook." Rainbow admits nervously laughing.

Blitz chuckles. "Then want something good?"

"Let's see how you do." Rainbow says.

Blitz sighs and lifts himself up, almost vertical and Rainbow becomes surprised as she sees himself down under as he reaches for something she can't see as she spies his friend growing. "You can take that or another way." He said suddenly.

Rainbow blushed and moves back to the table in the other room. Blitz chuckles as he watches her leave. "I meant this." He calls as he points to a pancake bag he placed onto the counter. "But I guess I best see if I can still cook." Blitz says getting started.

Rainbow was still blushing as Blitz stepped over to the table and places a plate of pancakes in front of her. "There. Enjoy the cream." He said as he sits down in the seat next to her.

"Um…you mind…" Rainbow stops and after a few moments Blitz scooted a little closer to her.

"Better?" Blitz asks.

Rainbow gulps as she watches him as he waits for her judgment. She takes a fork and digs in and eats it and finds that the pancake has cream filling. "How…?"

"I had a long time to experiment with cooking." Blitz says petting her mane.

Rainbow purrs before pushing his hoof off. "Stop that."

"Ok, I'll wait till the wedding night." Blitz whispers into her ear.

Rainbow blushes before putting the fork down and then getting off the chair and onto his lap before taking a pancake and holding it in her mouth. "Huh?" She asks, muffled by the pancake. Blitz smiles and takes her bait, getting the pancake and kissing her. Rainbow smiles and kisses back as she rolls her hips slightly before breaking the kiss. "Well?"

"You are better than the food." Blitz says leaning into her shoulder.

Rainbow giggles. "Good, now you better go." She said still rocking her hips on him.

"Alright, I'll see you later." Blitz says as she lets him up. After he comes back from changing into a new outfit he walks over and kisses her neck.

Rainbow moans as she guides him. "You bucking stallion meat."

"I know, just saying goodbye like how you all taught me." Blitz says before disappearing. Rainbow sighed, sad to see him go then felt a light playful smack on her flank. She yelped as she quickly turned and then felt her tail pulled and then snapped back. She breathes heavily as she lay her front end down and her back end up. "Blitz…" She said trying to catch her breath. Blitz appears in front of her and kisses her. "Blitz…rut me?" She asks with pleading eyes.

"Got to wait for the wedding night, my beautiful Rainbow." Blitz says stroking her cheek.

Rainbow groans. "And this?" She said as she shakes her hips and a slight puddle formed.

"It give you something to look forward to." Blitz says kissing her forehead before disappearing on her.

Rainbow groans loudly before she feels her tail pulled. "I can give you something in the meantime." Minerva said.

"Help me clean up this first, I doubt Fluttershy would be happy if she smelled this and I don't want the same treatment as what Fleetfoot got." Rainbow says.

Minerva giggled. "Sure." She said helping her up. "Come on."

Blitz sighs as he entered the boutique. "Rarity, you here?"

"One moment darling." Rarity calls.

Blitz watches as she comes out of her back room, backwards, giving him a little view as she carried some cloths and materials with her magic. "What can I help you with?" She said as she organized them all over the room.

"Why Rarity, have you forgotten our lunch date to discuss some of the preliminary ideas for the wedding?" Blitz says using his magic to help her.

Rarity gasp. "I completely forgot. Sorry, I was really brought down with so much work and orders."

"It's ok." Blitz says smiling at her.

Rarity sighs as she grabs a lunch basket. "Shall we?"

"Comme vous nafareh madam." Blitz says.

Rarity looks to him. "What did you say?"

"Oh, that was prench for, as you wish madam." Blitz clarifies.

Rarity giggles. "Oh my, a gentlecolt." She said as she leads him out.

"You forgot I spent time in Prance didn't you?" Blitz asks.

Rarity smiles. "Dear you are a sweet stallion, but save it for your mares."

"What, I can't be cultured?" Blitz asks jokingly.

Rarity sighs. "How about living the life and dreams in space? Maybe head out now?"

"It's nice and all, but this is the planet I was born on." Blitz says as they sit down.

Rarity smiles. "Well…don't you have to go somewhere one day?"

"Yeah, I do have to provide for my family." Blitz says.

Rarity nods as she takes out the food and drinks. "And when does that happen?"

"Who knows? After I collect the last two bounties on this planet or will I be continent here?" Blitz wonders out loud.

Rarity smiles as she pours some tea and give it to him. "Maybe your life is still out there."

"Maybe, I am a Mandalorian and we are all have chosen to live by the gun or sword and will died by them." Blitz says.

Rarity sighs. "Why didn't you want to choose a sword?"

"To tell the truth I have a sword, but nowadays blasters or guns is what everything in the galaxy uses. The age of the swords is long over." Blitz says with a sober tone.

Rarity looks sadly at him. "So what about just living as it is? Things change and we all have to live with change."

"Yeah, they do. So what about you Rarity? I heard from the other girls you have been brimming with inspiration since our little trip." Blitz says.

Rarity nods. "Yes, I just need to look at some outfits from you. Maybe turn it into a modern version of current styles."

"Maybe, so I'm told by Minerva that you referred a Ms. Coco who we hired to be the tailor in the base." Blitz says.

Rarity nods. "Yes, she needs a job and it was just perfect for you. Maybe try something new."

"She is being paid well and she is enjoying her work." Blitz informs.

Rarity smiles. "Maybe take her into space? Show her new thing?"

"I will consider it, but what about you Rarity?" Blitz asks.

Rarity sighs. "Sometimes I wonder what you are doing, you and the rest of the girls."

"You could join us." Blitz says reading in between the lines.

Rarity smiles. "Yes, but I still have to deal with my little sister and then I have to sell my work somehow."

"Your little sister and the other CMC have been begging to come with me as well." Blitz says.

Rarity cracks a big smile. "I would imagine so. Are you going to take them?"

"Depends on how long it is before I go back into space. I'm not planning to go for a few years. They are still young." Blitz says.

Rarity looks surprised. "A few years?"

"Yeah, well on this planet. The time they go by out there is a little different." Blitz says.

Rarity tilts her head. "By how much?"

"You know how I stay up days at a time?" Blitz asks.

Rarity nods. "Yes."

"The equivalent of twenty four hours out there is two days here." Blitz says.

Rarity looks confused. "So by ours, how long?"

"Equestria time is twice as fast as galactic time." Blitz says noticing Rarity was now right beside him.

Rarity nods. "Okay, so how long until they could really come along?"

"A few more years and I may take them along to see the galaxy." Blitz says looking directly into her eyes.

Rarity smiles a bit. "And if we leave? What would happen if we leave? Why can't we take them?"

"I am reluctant because I don't want to steal their childhoods away like mine was." Blitz says taking off his mirrored sunglasses.

Rarity freezes as she sees his eyes. "Wha…wha…"

"Like my eyes?" Blitz asks.

Rarity just slowly reaches for him. "Bli…?" Blitz says nothing and lets her grab onto him. Rarity places her hoof on the back on his neck and pulls him close. "Prin…"

"Charming?" Blitz asks.

Rarity just closes the distance and just places her lips on his as she wraps her other hoof around him. "Prince." She said as she keeps herself close.

"So I guess I read it right and you do have feelings for me." Blitz says.

Rarity brings one of her hooves slowly down him. "Take me." She whispered.

"You can join the family Rarity." Blitz says.

Rarity licks her lips. "Yes, do it."

"You have to wait for the wedding night like the others Rarity." Blitz says.

Rarity gulps as she starts to place both her hooves on his chest. "Can I?"

"Just tell the girls, I'm sure they won't object to you." Blitz says touching their horns together.

Rarity gasps little as she feels the spark from the connection. "Bli…"

"Whoa, that was new." Blitz says surprised.

Rarity nods dumbly and moves her hooves to his. "Bli…can I be with you?"

"I already said yes Rarity." Blitz says.

Rarity tries to smile but just suddenly pushes him down and gets on top of him. "Bli…hold me."

"Comme vous nafareh madam." Blitz says before holding her.

Rarity smiles as lays her head next to his. "Play with me."

"Wait till the wedding Rarity. Which you have to make the outfits for." Blitz says kissing her.

Rarity moans a bit as she kisses back until he breaks it. "Yes…dresses."

"Though Rainbow wants to wear her Wonderbolt uniform, but maybe you can discuss that with her." Blitz says.

Rarity tries to nod. "Yes Bli…"

Blitz raises an eyebrow. "Can't say my name huh? How about…?" He asks before slapping her flank.

Rarity yelps as she was hit. "Bli…Blitz."

"There you go." Blitz says nuzzling her.

Rarity groans as she turns her head to him and tries to look at him. "Can you do that more?"

"Later, my Rarity." Blitz says as he rubs her flank.

Rarity moans as she feels the spot hit being rubbed. "Can you at least…mmmm…keep going like this?"

"I would, but I have another appointment and you need to be brought up to date with something that has recently happened." Blitz says.

Rarity tries to look at him. "What changed?"

"Well we got something almost as old and more powerful than Bloody Mary." Blitz says giving her a squee smile.

Minerva smiles as she watches the exchange between the two. "We're going to need a bigger ship soon. Doubt they would give though." She said to herself. "Maybe with combining rooms." She muses before a beep sounded out on one of the floating screens moving around.

She looks over and sees the screen for the probes. "No, it can't be. At this time?" She asks, trying to get the time frame since she sent out the new probes. She keeps watching the screen and dot on the screen still blinking. "Not now." She said until another dot appears and they beep one after another. "Oh boy, this just got worse." She said to herself as she brings the screen in front of her till a ringing sound came. "Now what?"

She looks over to another screen showing the communications and sees a call coming in. She brings in front of her as she moves the probe screen away to the side. She presses the answer button and sees a familiar face. "Hello? Blitzkrieg?" Mandalore asks.

Minerva gets a bit confused. "Sir? What are you calling for?"

Mandalore looks a bit surprised. "Minerva, I see you got a body similar to his. Anyway, I need to talk to Blitzkrieg."

Minerva shakes her head. "He isn't here right now."

Mandalore sighs. "Well, at least I can tell you. You got nothing as of right now, right? And you don't have those last two bounties left, right?" Minerva nods as she eyes the probe screen and sees the dots moved slightly. "Good, because this is important."

Rarity was about to pry for more details when Blitz's communicator goes off. 'Good timing Minerva.'

"Blitzkrieg?" A familiar voice sounded.

Blitz immediately sat up, throwing Rarity off of him. "Mandalore?"

Mandalore sighs. "Listen, you have to finish these last two bounties. We got pressure from the government and military for you to find them. After that, report back to me."

"Sir, yes sir!" Blitz yells saluting.

Rarity just looks confused as she gains her senses back. "Um…Blitz?"

Mandalore huffs. "Also, Minerva will tell you when and how to call me after you finish."

"As you command Mandalore." Blitz says.

"Good, now get those last two now." He said before signing off.

Blitz was just left confused. "Last two, Minerva! Did you find those last two?"

Minerva was heard with some metal softly clanging. "Yes…and no. You got one in Ponyville and one that is moving to Canterlot. It's kinda best we wait."

"Which one is the traitor mandalorian?" Blitz asks.

Minerva sighs. "I don't know, that's the thing. I just have the locations. Like I said, wait."

"Yes?" Blitz asks.

Minerva groans a bit. "No, I mean wait for them."

"Tell Lightning to get to the ship with the emergency teleportation." Blitz says.

Minerva was silent for a bit. "Mandalore ordered me to hold you back."

"Why?" Blitz asks.

Minerva sighs. "He wants the truth."

"Huh?" Blitz asks.

Minerva stay silent for a bit. "He wants the truth."

"About?" Blitz asks.

Minerva presses her lips together. "Why."

"Minerva, spit it out." Blitz says.

Minerva sighs. "He wants to know why, you idiot."

"Why what?" Blitz says starting to get mad she was giving him the run around.

Minerva yells, which makes his mic squeal. "He wants to know why!" She yells before hearing her crying.

"Do you mean the traitor?" Blitz asks.

Minerva sobs as tries to speak. "Yes…please stop asking me."

"Be specific next time, ok?" Blitz asks.

Minerva sobs. "He told me not to."

"I understand, I will carbon freeze him." Blitz says pushing the emergency teleport button sequence.

Minerva becomes shocked. "No! You can't do anything and I'm supposed to stop you." She said as his electronics, except for his com, shutdown.

"That would be a problem if I didn't install that backdoor program." Blitz says as he is teleported away onto the Darkstar One.

Minerva immediately jumps onto him and sends him down. "You can't do anything. I can't let you go."

"Minerva, look me in the eye, do you think I'm going to let my second adopted father go alone?" Blitz asks.

Minerva sobs. "He's coming, but he's waiting too. Please don't make me say anything more."

"Just let me get an armor Minerva. I have to witness it." Blitz says.

Minerva shakes her head. "He's waiting too. He'll wait for them."

"Yeah, they may know more about this whole thing Minerva." Blitz says getting up.

Minerva pushes him down. "He wants you to wait. Please…" She sobs as she slowly puts her head down on his chest. "He told me too and activated the override protocol."

"Very well, but I want probes watching so I can see." Blitz says.

Minerva nods. "You can watch them come in, but you can't engage."

"Let us see this and get me a line straight to him." Blitz says.

Minerva shakes her head. "Blitz, he cut us off. He's shutting you down for the time being."

"I see." Blitz says getting up and goes over to the couch.

Minerva sits down with him. "Are you mad at me?"

"Program master command, rewrite limitation program. Set to full disable." Blitz says

Minerva sighs as bits of random data goes over the screens in the room before going away. "Thank you, but Mandalore is going to be mad about that."

"About what, I don't know what you are talking about." Blitz says playing innocent.

Minerva looks concerned as she places her head onto his lap. "Blitz, please don't get in trouble because of this."

"I did nothing Minerva." Blitz says petting her as the screen turns on.

Minerva moans as she nuzzles him. "Blitz, he wanted you to let them come to the one spot. Your wedding. They are coming for you and they will crash it and he wants it to happen."

"Ah, he wants to test me then." Blitz says.

Minerva keeps watching the probe screen. "Yes and because he's coming in on your wedding and finding out the truth."

"If I'm ready to be elevated to the next level?" Blitz asks.

Minerva nods. "Yes, he's going to give you the biggest test of your life."

"Tell him that we have a bigger issue." Blitz says. "Tell him we have found signs of a dormant feral Zerg hive." Blitz says.

Minerva smiles a bit. "Blitz, while he shut me out, he took a bit of control and look through the records to see what we had and was impressed by what you are doing now."

"Then he should be discovering it and we will hear from him in three, two, one." Blitz counts down.

Minerva chuckles as nothing happened. "He wants to test you Blitz and then give you a surprise."

Mandalore comes on the screen. "Is this real?" He asks with a picture of a dormant Zergling beside him.

"Absolutely. We need an orbital strike now." Blitz says seriously.

Mandalore looks concerned for a bit. "Can you hold for a while?"

"I request to see it." Blitz says.

Mandalore narrow his eyes. "See what?"

"The strike on the site." Blitz says.

Mandalore sighs. "Blitzkrieg, we are not anywhere near there. I was going to be on my way, but then changed her protocols. I need time to send a strike ready ship there."

"Should I inform the rulers of this in case of the worst comes to past?" Blitz asks.

Mandalore brings a finger to chin, as if thinking. "How long until your wedding? Don't bother asking, Minerva told me."

"No date set. This is because female dominate society here and the latest edict caused males to be look like animals to be just grabbed, makes things even more complicated." Blitz says.

Mandalore sighs. "Then we have to alert somehow and show…dammit! Okay, that's it." He turns to someone off screen. "Is it ready?!"

"We have a capital ship just zoomed in, out of hyperspace Mandalore." A voice from off screen says.

Mandalore growls. "You know that's not what I'm talking about!" He looks to the screen Blitzkrieg was on and messes with it and they hear silence after he turns back off screen and keeps talking, but nothing came out.

Blitz raises an eyebrow as Minerva smiles a bit. "Minerva, do you know what this is about?"

Minerva smirks. "Nope. He didn't say about it."

Mandalore goes off screen before coming back again and messes with his screen. "Okay, listen, we got a ship coming that isn't the capital ship!" He yelled to off screen before looking back at him. "It should be there in about a month or two. Think you could finish the bounties and get a large group together with the rulers in time when I tell you?"

"If that is what you command Mandalore. So did they called in that capital ship to orbital strike the site?" Blitz asks.

Mandalore shakes his head. "No, something better. Which reminds me, I have to go." He said as he grabs his gear.

"Should I inform the rulers about the threat and the orbital strike?" Blitz asks.

Mandalore points to him. "Only when you get a large group together and Blitzkrieg?"

"Yes sir?" Blitz asks.

Mandalore seemed to smiles. "Your identity is now clear. You are clear to show yourself."

"As you command Mandalore and the base is now ready for ships land there." Blitz says.

Mandalore smiles. "Even better. Now get this done. By the way, how many do you have?"

"Working for at the base or in on the whole thing?" Blitz asks.

Mandalore chuckles. "I meant your crew for your ship and all passengers."

"Currently six at max as I am still teaching them and they a…" Blitz was cut off when Rainbow walks in with a wet mane.

"Hey Blitz, how do you adjust the temperature in the shower again?" Rainbow asks.

Mandalore raises an eyebrow. "So…how many girls you got as future wives?"

"Eight so far, more if I get caught by more." Blitz says.

Mandalore sighs. "Okay, then you don't need to worry about room space. Any one of them dangerous?"

"Well I'm training one in the ways of the Mandalorians." Blitz says.

Mandalore nods. "And the others, are they dangerous?"

"Well, one is a ruler of the lands who fell for me, by the way, Rainbow, meet Mandalore the head of my clan and the leader of all Mandalorians." Blitz says.

Rainbow waves to him. "Hi there."

"I see." Mandalore says eyeing her. "Anyone else?"

"Not on the ship." Blitz says as Rainbow comes up beside him, staring at Mandalore.

Mandalore sighs. "Okay, you can tell everything else later when I arrive, but for now. Get yourself hitched, Mandalorian style." Mandalore says.

Blitz glares slightly. "He's right." Rainbow said, making them look to her. "Once you marry, they can stop and any other mare will be chosen by you."

"And everyone usually brings a weapon to the wedding." Blitz adds.

Rainbow and Mandalore chuckles. "Just do it, maybe a mix of his and our style." Rainbow offered.

"Hey, Mandalorians respect other cultures." Mandalore says jokingly.

Rainbow smiles. "Then why not combine it, make it easier for him too?"

"That's what he meant." Blitz says.

"I have to go now. Blitzkrieg, keep up the good work." Mandalore says ending transmission.

"Well Rainbow, you just met my second adopted father." Blitz says petting her.

Rainbow purrs a bit before slapping his hoof away. "Dang it Blitz, cut it out."

"Yeah, Rainbow, I think we are going to have another one added to the wedding. Rarity came out and said she wanted to be with me." Blitz says.

"She finally did?" Rainbow asks.

Blitz looks to her. "Okay, seriously, is there anypony who you girls know is in love with me?"

"I think there is one other." Rainbow says.

"You going to tell me who?" Blitz asks.

"Nope." Rainbow says.

Blitz blows some air into the mane in front of his eyes. "Figures."

"Yeah." Rainbow says wrapping her hooves around his neck.

Blitz breaths in her scent as he leans into her. "I wonder how the girls are doing against Vinyl and Octavia?"

"Nothing yet." Rainbow says.

"Ok, by the way, we have another issue." Blitz says.

Rainbow looks to him. "Oh my Celestia, what did you do?"

"Oh, just discovered something very bad. So can you gather the girls and ask Twilight to arrange a meeting with the other princesses?" Blitz says.

Rainbow nods. "Sure, but you gotta let me up, you're kinda somewhere that's pinning me."

"Oh, is that why you're on top?" Blitz asks.

Rainbow hits in the stomach, leaving him groaning as she got up and left. "You're a stupid stallion."

"And you're a beautiful mare with a nice flank." Blitz says as Minerva helps him up.

"You know it." Rainbow says smirking as she left.

"So he wants me to arrange a meeting with them?" Twilight asks.

"Yeah, he says something as bad as Vinyl right now and when I walked in, he was talking to the one he call the leader of the mandalorians, Mandalore. So yeah, you think you can pull it off?" Rainbow asks.

Twilight sighs. "I'll try, but it might be a while."

"It kind of sounded urgent. Why not tell them you want to introduce your fiancé to all of them?" Rarity asks.

Twilight nods. "Yeah, that might work, but I also need to talk privately to the princesses and I have yet to show my parents about him."

"Why not show them him after he meets the princesses." Pinkie asks springing out of a box.

Twilight shrugs. "Yeah, that could work too, but what about your parents?"

"What do you mean?" Pinkie asks as her head turns clockwise.

Twilight looks to Rainbow and Rarity. "I mean your parents, what about them? Don't they want to meet your future husband?" Both laugh nervously. "You haven't told them, have you?" Twilight asks.

Rainbow rubs a hoof at the back of her head. "Maybe…I got to go mail a letter!" She said quickly before flying off and leaving the door off the hinges.

"Rarity?" Twilight asks.

"In my defense, I just got this in a few hours ago." Rarity says.

Twilight sighs. "Alright, get it done and tell the others to get their family as well."

"Yes darling." Rarity says walking out.

Twilight groans as she rubs her face. "Pinkie, help her out."

"Wouldn't Blitz get jealous if did that?" Pinkie asks.

Twilight shakes her head. "No, not if you just help Rarity and tell everypony to get their parents or at least mail their parents."

"Oh okey dokey loki." Pinkie says bouncing off.

Twilight groans as she sat down. "Spike, have you finished updating the eBook with all the books here?"

"Oh yeah." Spike calls playing a videogame on it.

Twilight frowns as she takes it away and turns off the game. "Spike, this is for reading, not playing."

"Ok, ok, I'll have Minerva give me my own." Spike says.

Twilight grins. "Only if I don't stop her. You would only get it…eh, what am I saying. You'll get it anyway. Next time you see her, ask for one."

"You got it." Spike says.

Twilight sighs as she rubs her face. "Just don't play too much. You'll ruin your eyes."

Spike holds up a finger. "Ah, that's only in bad lighting."

"Come on little brother, we got to send a few letters." Twilight says picking him up with her magic.

Spike huffs. "Unbelievable, but what about telling them soon. It's starting to look like it's going to be shown soon."

"Well, we are going to start introducing him to each one of our parents after his family reunion, though Applejack or Daring Do won't have to." Twilight says thinking it over.

Spike looks to her. "And what about leaving, are your parents okay with this?"

"Blitz is showing no signs of leaving yet Spike." Twilight says smiling.

Spike looks a bit confused. "Well, do you know when?"

"Not a clue. According to Rarity, not even he knows." Twilight says.

Spike sighs. "So what now?"

"Lunch. I got you some rubies." Twilight says.

Spike immediately starts salivating. "Good, I'm hungry."

Twilight giggles. "After your playing, I would think so."

"So that is the gist of it." Blitz says in the barn to Applejack.

Applejack sighs. "So what now?"

"Well I have Twilight arranging a meeting with the other princesses, so until then we focus on the reunion." Blitz says as Applejack comes over with a banjo.

Applejack smiles. "Great, because it's tomorrow and you got to get ready."

"Yeah, I gotcha. By the way, what's with the banjo?" Blitz asks.

Applejack grins. "Just a little entertainment."

"Jackie, I haven't played in years." Blitz says.

"Your Pa still taught ya." Applejack says.

"That was nearly twenty years ago." Blitz says.

Applejack smiles as she gives it to him. "Give a try."

"Alright, alright." Blitz say taking it, much to Applejack's joy.

Applejack sits down in front of him. "Go on, play it."

"Let's see, how did it go again?" Blitz asks himself as he fiddles with it a bit before starting to play.

Applejack smiles as she listen to music. "Still great as ever."

"I'm not good Jackie." Blitz says as he used his magic to tune it a bit.

Applejack smiles as she walks over to him and nuzzles him. "It's fine if it's you."

"Huh, you're only saying that because you are my mare." Blitz says leaning into her.

Applejack grins. "Damn straight."

"So thinking of inviting the entire family to our wedding because I realized that the other princesses are going to want a royal wedding for Twilight." Blitz says.

Applejack smiles. "And so does the other mares. We really need a big place, you got an idea?"

"Not a clue, I only know the proceedings for the Mandalorian weddings from my studies. I know the traditions, but not how to plan one." Blitz says.

Applejack tries to think. "There's got be a place where we can have it for everypony and your clan."

"I'm all ears." Blitz says closing his eyes and kisses her on the neck.

Applejack moans. "Maybe, oh boy." She moans out as she guides him.

Blitz puts down the banjo and wraps his hooves around her neck.

Applejack keeps moaning as he keeps kissing her until they both fell down. "Blitz…maybe, whoa nelly."

"You love it don't you?" He whispers into her ear.

Applejack nods or tries to. "Blitz…maybe…try…something bigger."

"Na huh Jackie, wedding first then you get everything." Blitz whisper as he just holds her.

Applejack gulps a bit. "Blitz…bigger place…for the wedding."

"Where do you have in mind?" Blitz says as he leans against her as she regains some composure.

Applejack sighs. "Do you have…a bigger ship?"

"No, the Darkstar One is all I have." Blitz says.

Applejack groans. "It's because…I doubt the courtyard is enough."

"Well it's only for Twilight's wedding for the rest of you. Our wedding will probably be sooner because it isn't a huge national event." Blitz says.

Applejack sighs as she looks to him. "Blitz…I want to marry with you, with everypony."

"Look on the bright side. You and the others get it before Twilight." Blitz whispers into her ear.

Applejack tries to still guide him. "Blitz…we want it with everypony and Twilight. It's not right if it's separate."

"Ok, how about we do it before the royal wedding and then me and her go through the Royal wedding?" Blitz asks.

Applejack shakes her head. "All together. All of us, together up there."

"Jackie, we are going to have to do the royal wedding even if it is just for show." Blitz says starting to pet her.

Applejack sighs in relief as she leans against him. "And we all want it together. All of us want to be married at the same time."

"Then it happens and the royal wedding, that is for show, happens later." Blitz says.

Applejack nods. "As long as Twilight is already married to you."

"She will be and you will too." Blitz says.

Applejack smiles. "Thanks and everypony else?"

"May not attend after being worn out from the events after the wedding." Blitz jokes.

Applejack hits him. "Oh Blitz, you going to go to town on us?"

"I don't know, to tell the truth it I am very nervous about that." Blitz says.

Applejack nuzzles him. "It's okay, we won't be mad if you can't do it."

"Um…I think you girls may have to lead until I am comfortable with it. Like touching or talking about my feelings." Blitz says.

Applejack moves her hoof all over him. "It's okay, we'll lead for you. Can you at least hold up on talking?"

"If you wish it, I shall do it Applejack." Blitz says.

Applejack lays her head on his chest as she keeps moving his hoof around. "Good, now, don't you have anything to do?"

"Twilight is a little busy at this point, so I think our magic lesson is canceled. So all that remains is the reunion tomorrow." Blitz says.

Applejack nods. "Yeah, want to head to bed?"

"You go on ahead, I'm going to practice on that banjo a bit for tomorrow." Blitz says

Applejack sighs as she gets up. "Don't wait up too long."

"I won't I will come to bed soon." Blitz says.

Applejack nods and leaves. "Good luck."

"Night Jackie." Blitz calls, picking the banjo back up with his hooves.

Blitz sighs as he kept watching the dots on the screen, still unmoving now as they hanged outside the town and city. "What are you waiting for?"

"Oh, you noticed me?" Octavia's voice says behind him.

Blitz yelps as he jumps back and turns around to face her. "How…wha…how long were you following me?"

"An hour." Octavia says off hoofly.

Blitz glares at her. "What do you want?"

"Vinyl told me to watch you. You are hard to track down." Octavia says.

Blitz huffs. "As I should be. Now get your crazy flank out of my sight."

"Vinyl wants to see you soon." Octavia says now leaning on his back.

Blitz grumbles as he starts walking. "Crazy vampires, why did I let her drink me?"

"That is why she wants to see you. After all you let her imprint on you." Octavia says.

"I know that." Blitz says.

Octavia giggles as she nuzzles him. "And you taste good."

"Then why haven't you bit me yet…unless she told you not to." Blitz says starting to smirk.

Octavia hisses silently as she scrapes her fangs over his neck. "You're lucky she wants you."

"Don't get too ahead of yourself. I'm used to fighting vampires. So don't underestimate me." Blitz says as Octavia feels something poking her chest too lightly to dig into her. Looking down, she sees a wooden stake.

Octavia looks to him. "Aww, but then you won't have a bitch to fuck."

"We shall see and news flash, your little hypnosis trick of yours doesn't work if a pony is wearing contacts like I am so you can stop trying it." Blitz says smirking now.

Octavia growls. "You will be hers."

"Why would I leave sweetheart, this is my town?" Blitz says.

Octavia hisses at him as they reach their home. "You are going to be hers, forever and ever."

"Only by choice, because you forget…" Blitz disappears and reappears further away from her on her other side. "I can literally disappear on you."

Octavia grins as she then tackles him and sends him inside. "I got him master. I got your prey."

"Octavia, why are you on top of our lamp?" Vinyl asks. Looking down, Octavia sees Blitz was replaced by a lamp.

Blitz chuckles as he reappeared behind Vinyl and holds her by the neck. "I think she is a little too inexperienced to tangle with me, don't you marshmallow?" Blitz asks.

Vinyl growls as she tries to throw him. "Who are you calling a marshmallow, you blood sack?"

"Well you are white, fluffy, and your sweat. So you." Blitz says in a tone that neither Vinyl nor Octavia could tell if he was insulting, complimenting, joking, or even being serious. "Now then. Try this. Audi, vide, quaeso, et mihi. Et audient vocem meam et facite omnia quae mihi imperas dubie filia Dracula."

Vinyl goes wide eyed as she then stares forward and leans back into her seat. "Wha…?" She couldn't say anymore as she starts to drool a bit.

"Order your thrall to stay there." Blitz says.

Vinyl moans as she turns her head with blank eyes to Octavia. "Stay there bitch."

Blitz smiles as she releases her and then sits by her. "Now lay your head on my lap." Vinyl wordlessly does so. "Now it's time we talked and no lying to me, ok?" Blitz asks.

Vinyl nods. "Yes master."

"First, don't call me master." Blitz says.

Vinyl moans. "Yes."

"Now what is this all about?" Blitz asks stroking her mane.

Vinyl drools a bit. "My body needs substance, blood to feed. First blood is only blood for my kind."

"So you did this intentionally to imprint on me?" Blitz asks.

"My father told me to find a suitable mate." Vinyl said as she still hold still.

"And after all these millenniums, I'm the only one?" Blitz asks.

Vinyl moans. "No one can come close to you. They were all incompatible."

"Let me guess, I got your attention with being behind Bloody Mary's final and permanent death?" Blitz asks.

Vinyl nods. "Yes, you are the only one besides my father to kill her and then you permanently killed her. You are the best mate."

"And you and Octavia have been the ones spying on me for the last three months haven't you?" Blitz asks.

Vinyl nods. "The bitch has been looking for a perfect mate for me."

"Ok, so you have gotten to know me right?" Blitz asks.

Vinyl nods. "To know how well you can protect me and take care of our foals."

"And to see if I had a personality you would like?" Blitz asks.

Vinyl didn't move for a bit before nodding. "Yes."

Blitz sighs. "Will you have plans on or will you hurt me?" Blitz asks.

Vinyl shakes her head. "No, I have to keep you from being hurt for I may lose my future mate."

"I see, tell me the full story about how Octavia became a vampire and then your thrall because you can't turn others into vampires." Blitz says.

Vinyl looks to Octavia. "Play with yourself and show him." She said and then Octavia sits down and spreads her legs and starts messing with herself while Blitz looks a little surprised. "She was a barren female. She wanted to have foals and so I gave her the price of being under me. You can have her if I am not good enough."

"But what about being a vampire?" Blitz asks.

Vinyl groans. "You can have her and she will listen. If you want me gone, I'll do it."

"No, I want to know how she became a vampire then your thrall." Blitz says.

Vinyl sighs. "When we were fourteen, well when this body was fourteen. We were attacked by a vampire and it bit Octavia before I awakened and when it tried to attack me, I awoke and I killed it, but I couldn't save Octavia from becoming a vampire." Vinyl says.

"I see." Blitz says before Vinyl wraps her hooves around his neck.

"Now sexy, that is enough questions." Vinyl says.

"When, how?" Blitz asks.

"I overcame it not long ago." Vinyl says smiling.

Blitz sighs. "So, you want to join my merry crew of marriage? I can give you what I have, within reason of course."

"That's fine. Tavi, come over here and spend time with your fiancé." Vinyl says.

Octavia breathes as she recovered from her time and then gets up and sits down next to him. "Mmmm…what can this bitch do for you?" She asks as she leans onto him.

"Is this how she is when she is alone or is what she is to others, the real her?" Blitz asks.

Vinyl smiles. "She is like this when she's alone with me and her future foal giver. She really wants foals."

"Alright, but if we are going to do this, you two have to come with me, ok?" Blitz asks.

Vinyl grins. "If we can bring our equipment."

"Sure. But tell me, do you think you know everything about this world?" Blitz asks.

Vinyl and Octavia were staring down at the planet.

Blitz chuckles as they were staring slack jawed. "Minerva, how far away is Mandalore?"

"He has informed me he won't be coming for a few months because of business in the clans." Minerva says.

"Ah, so we have around four months in equestrian time then." Blitz says.

Minerva nods. "Yeah, maybe you should have your wedding on the fourth."

"Minerva, I'm not planning the wedding, the mares are." Blitz says.

Minerva smiles. "It's just a suggestion."

Vinyl suddenly jumps into his lap. "Listen, show us everything and let us live with you and we'll be yours to do as you please. Anything you want. Anything."

"Vinyl, first off, calm down and you will have to wait as my clan customs demand a few things. Second, Minerva will teach you everything. And third, Octavia you can act how you wish in my presence." Blitz says.

"Oh thank Celestia." Octavia says, her cultured voice returning.

Vinyl groans. "You ruined my fun with her."

"She will act that way when you two are alone." Blitz says.

Vinyl huffs. "You are a party popper."

"And you and me nightclubs whenever possible." Blitz says putting on his mirrored sunglasses.

Vinyl grins slightly. "You need to prove your worth to party with me."

"Oh?" Blitz says pushing a button on his communicator and speakers become visible. "Do you dare me marshmallow?" Blitz asks.

Vinyl grins. "Yeah and you got to seduce me all the way." Blitz pushes the button and second later, Vinyl and Octavia were pinned against the wall from the wubs. "Still have to seduce me!"

Blitz smiles as he grabs Vinyl off the wall after turning off the music and turns her around and dances with her. "So, how's this?" He asks as just dance music came on, though not as intense.

"And sold." Vinyl says smirking as she puts on her glasses.

Blitz smiles as he runs his hooves over her sides. "Really now? Then how about…" He said before smacking her flank.

"Oh, now you're just turning me on." Vinyl says touching their horns together.

Blitz yelps a bit as he stops her movement by holding a hoof to her cheek. "Careful."

"Oh, that spark was nice." Vinyl says smirking.

Blitz sighs as he tries to keep dancing with her. "Yeah, it was amazing."

"Yeah and now we both have a little of our magic in each other." Vinyl says leaning against him.

Blitz nuzzles her. "Yeah, we do. Listen, I may leave soon and will be gone for a long time. Are you okay with this, coming with me?"

"The chance to see other planets, risk my life on dangerous adventures, and meeting aliens…can I get a buck yeah!?" Vinyl yells.

Blitz smiles before hitting his hips with hers. "How's that?"

"Oh, a literal buck." Vinyl says giving an eyebrow flash.

Blitz smiles. "Yeah, giving you a taste of what is to come. Now then, shall we head back?"

"Minerva, does he have anything more classical?" Octavia asks.

Minerva smiles. "Oh yeah." She said as the something that sounded out a movie played. "If you count this classic."

Blitz smiles as he lets go of Vinyl and sits down again. "What do you think?"

"You, me, the clubs." Vinyl says.

"Sorry, not tonight marshmallow. I got a family reunion in the morning, but maybe tomorrow night." Blitz says.

Vinyl pushes him into his seat. "Good, but you really need to seduce me and all in public."

"Not before the wedding." Blitz says tripping her into falling onto him.

Vinyl grins. "I meant just really messing with me, really going all over when I'm putting a club scene on. All those ponies, I want them to know, I'm taken."

"If it helps…" Blitz pushes his communicator.

Vinyl hits him across the face. "I want a public sign in my dance party. That could come after you dance with me."

"Ok, it was a joke and I'll do it, but most already think you and Octavia are a couple." Blitz says.

Vinyl laughs. "That's because I molest her in public and she just takes it, right bitch?"

"Yes, Vinyl." Octavia says too distracted as she was checking the classical that is in the database.

Vinyl chuckles as she turns back to Blitz. "So you see, now you get to do me in the same way."

"Ok, I will dance with you in the club, but I'm not molesting or being molested by you." Blitz says flipping her onto her back on the couch and laying on top of her.

Vinyl moans. "Then what are you going to do?"

"We dance and I will give you a kiss." Blitz says.

Vinyl giggles. "Good, but you need to do better."

"We shall see marshmallow and yes, I will never stop calling you that now." Blitz says.

Vinyl hisses and grabs him. "Then how about I just bite down and make you."

"Ah, but you can't marshmallow for two reasons. First, you can't turn me into a vampire or hypnotize me right now. The latter, I'm wearing contacts which makes it to where you can't because it's like looking through a window." Blitz says.

"And?" Vinyl asks.

"I wouldn't be me then." Blitz says.

Vinyl hissed quietly. "But I can still bite you and force you by pain. I think you have a tolerance too low."

"You would be surprised." Minerva says.

"Please don't asks her to elaborate or she will do a clip show." Blitz warns.

Vinyl chuckles. "Come on, let's head back."

"Minerva, back to the planet." Blitz says.

Vinyl looks to him. "Hey, when are you headed out, like really?"

"I have no clue, I only gotten back to the planet less than half a year ago." Blitz says.

Vinyl looks a bit surprised. "Really, only less than a year and already you got a boatload of mares?"

"I blame the latest edict." Blitz says.

"And the fact you became a living legend in that time as well." Minerva adds.

Blitz smiles. "Yeah, that's true. But for now, I got to place a name as the banjo pony at the reunion."

"Banjo?" Both mares asks.

"Hello, Apple Blitzkrieg." Blitz reminds.

The mares just look to each and then back to him. "Let's just go home as long as you fondle me on the way." Vinyl said as she lays down completely.

"She always like this?" Blitz asks.

Octavia sighs. "Unfortunately, she likes being touched."

"Did I mention the automated spa the others had installed recently?" Blitz asks.

Octavia looks to him. "Spa?"

"Yeah, with automatic massagers." Blitz says and Vinyl's ears spring up, hearing that.

Minerva smiles. "Want me to start it up?"

"Show her the way." Blitz says.

Minerva nods and leads her out. "Come this way."

Vinyl grins as she turns back to Blitz. "We're alone." She stated.

"And I thought you would like the jacuzzi." Blitz says.

Vinyl chuckles. "I like a different type of bath."

"And here I thought I could be in it with just you." Blitz says smirking at her.

Vinyl smiles. "I already am, just need one more friend."

Blitz sighs as he sneaks into the house and makes his way to Applejack's room. "Hey Blitzy." Applejack said.

Blitz freezes before sighing and getting in with her. "Hey Applejack, well, night."

"So any progress?" Applejack asks bringing him close.

Blitz sighs as he puts his head into her neck. "Vinyl and Octavia is in. Now the family has grown two more."

A few moments passed before Applejack breathed deeply. "What?"

Blitz tries to hug her. "I'm sorry, but Vinyl and Octavia is coming into the future family."

"From now on we are going to talk about everything before making a decision." Applejack says turning away from him.

Blitz sighs and turns over away from her. "I'm sorry." He said quietly before closing his eyes and immediately starts to fall asleep.

"Get over here, ya varmint." He hears her say. Applejack waits for a bit before feeling nothing and looks over and see him snoring quietly. She sighs and turns over and grabs him. "I should be sorry."

"No, you have reasons to be mad." Blitz says.

Applejack nuzzles him. "Yes I do, but it wasn't right for me to be mad. You have this coming at you and you will face this always and you have to make it too, sometimes alone. I'm sorry for being mad."

"No, you had the right. I should have consulted with you first." Blitz says.

Applejack looks worried to him. "And if you had, we would have said no and they would have come after you anyway." Blitz flipped over to face her and just holds her. "Besides, you would have gone anyway."

Blitz sighs. "Somnus." He said before letting go of her and putting the covers around the sleeping Applejack and heading out. He soon heads out and walks through the farm until he ends up at the Darkstar and heads inside. "Minerva, I know it's late, but let's head out. I need to think."

Minerva looks worried to him. "Are you okay?"

Blitz groans as he leans back into his seat. "Not really. Send us up."

Minerva looks concerned as the Darkstar flies up and straight into the sky.

Twilight smiles as she looks over the book list on her tablet. "Okay, that should be all and it organizes on its own. Why didn't we have this sooner?"

Spike laughs as he moves his own around slightly as he played on it. "I don't know, no technology made to make this yet?"

Twilight smiles. "Yeah, I guess that's one…"

"Twilight!" Applejack yells as she crashes through the door.

"Ahhhhh!" Twilight yells as she fumbles with her tablet and catches it before it fell. "Applejack, what's wrong?"

"Blitz is gone. I talked to him last night and I think I might have made him upset. Now he's gone." Applejack franticly said.

"Calm down Applejack and explain everything." Twilight says.

Applejack sighs and tries to breath. "Okay, you know how Vinyl and Octavia have been wanting him?" Twilight nods. "Well, Blitz went out for a bit and then suddenly he comes back at night saying that they are in and I told him he should have told us before making the decision himself. I…may have acted a little mad when I said that."

"Well you weren't necessarily wrong." Twilight says.

Applejack groans. "Twi, I told him he should consulted us and acted mad as I did. That's like saying he needs our permission to do anything. We are not holding him against his will. We just love him and helping him through almost everything. And that means doing the same when we do it. We do things all the time and does Blitz say anything other than be careful and don't pull dangerous tricks again. It looks like Blitz has the better understanding."

"Have you tried contacting Minerva?" Twilight asks and Applejack goes quiet and has a sheepish face.

Applejack quickly works on the omnitool and calls up Minerva. They wait as it rings a few times before it says caller busy on the screen. "What? Caller busy?" She tries again and gets the same result.

Twilight tries on her own and comes up with the same thing. "Applejack, what happened after that?"

Applejack sighs. "We talked for a bit, about who should be right and then all of a sudden I got to sleep immediately and wake up with him gone."

"Hold on. In case of it being stolen, I put a tracking spell on the ship. Let me try and locate it." Twilight says starting to charge her magic.

Meanwhile in low orbit. Blitz was sweating greatly and breathing hard. "Run it again Minerva. I need to keep up my training." Blitz says.

"Blitzy, it has been seven Equestrian hours. You have a reunion to get to." Minerva says.

Blitz frowns. "Run it." He said sternly.

Minerva sighs and messes with her screen as the hologram system came up again. "Last one and then I'm setting this ship back."

"Ok." Blitz says picking up the sword as the deck starts to shift to a medieval castle.

Minerva lets a small come on her face. "As always, Castlevania. You know this is from a mod for a video game, right?"

"Difficulty, level nine." Blitz says.

"Acknowledged, setting to ever changing elites." Minerva says before hearing his sword clang around as she looks at the call list and sees the calls she rejected. "Hang on girls, just a little longer." She said to herself.

Blitz finally collapses as the last one fell and large letters saying 'You Win' is displayed. "Finally, I beat this accused castle run."

Minerva giggles as the ship then heads back to the planet. "And next practice is that Mirror's Edge one you like so much."

"Artwork and style." He said.

"Right, will keep it preset for next time." Minerva says walking in with her body.

Blitz catches his breath as he struggles to get up. "She was still right. I should have at least told one of them."

"You can apologize to her later, now, time to wash up." Minerva says picking him up and takes him to his shower.

Blitz smiles as he was carried. "You're still a good friend Minerva."

"Yep, I'm best wife." Minerva says.

Blitz tries to chuckle at least. "Oh Minerva, what would I do without you?"

Minerva smirks. "Oh, I don't know. Maybe, maimed, shot, sliced to pieces, crashed by either ship or speeder, or by the inhabitants who wanted to cook you for their lunch. Weird tribe."

"Touché Minerva, touché." Blitz says as they entered the shower.

Minerva sighs as the shower came on and started to wet both of them. "Listen, those mares want what's best for you. In a sense, you are right and she is as well. But, it is the respect of both parties to at least apologize. Don't wait for it, just say it."

"Yeah, your right. You can take their calls now." Blitz says.

Minerva smiles as she lets a screen appear on his communicator. "She's been calling nonstop. Talk to her." She said getting out of the shower.

Blitz nods and answers. "Hello." Blitz says really tired as he switches it to a monitor in the wall.

"Blitz, finally! Where were…ahem…where were you?" Applejack asks more softly.

"On the ship. Couldn't sleep, so decided to burn some energy." Blitz says.

"For seven hours straight." Minerva adds.

Applejack glares at him before calming down. "I'm sorry…for last night."

"Applejack, sorry about last night." He says almost in unison with Applejack.

They both look to each other after they said before they smiled a little. "We can't hold you back. There is no way we can. We aren't yer mother, we're yer mates and we help you through things. It was wrong for me to say it." Applejack said.

"No, you were right. I should have consulted you all first as this is a partnership for the rest of our lives." Blitz says.

Applejack nods. "I guess…we were both wrong."

Blitz sighs. "Maybe, but you were more right. I let myself get ahead without you and the others."

"Yeah, so please get your flank down here soon for the reunion." Applejack says.

Blitz smiles and salutes her. "Yes ma'am."

Twilight smiles as she hears Blitz says that before a knock on her door was heard. "Coming." Twilight says walking over and opening it to reveal Lightning Dust. "What are you doing here?"

Lightning smiles a little. "Came by to see how you girls were doing since Blitz left."

"Oh, he was just training in low orbit. He's coming back down." Twilight says letting her in.

"Thank goodness, I didn't want to have to fly all the way back to the base." Lightning says walking in.

Twilight smiles. "Good, because Blitz would be devastated to know that all his mares were gone."

"Huh?" Lightning asks obviously.

Twilight sighs. "Some of us hasn't been that good to him. And we kinda owe him now. All in all, he's still a stallion who needs us. Heck, even you."

"Um…what are you talking about? He is my teacher." Lightning asks setting her assault blaster against the desk.

Twilight smiles. "Lightning, he would need even you to help and not as a wife, but rather as a friend. He won't always be a teacher."

"Maybe, I haven't really thought about that." Lightning says adjusting her combat clothes Rarity made for her.

Twilight looks to Applejack laying off to the side and Spike still playing. "He sure can change lives, right?"

"Yeah, he saved me and gave me a second chance and a brighter future if you think about it." Lightning says a blush starting to form.

Twilight giggles. "Want to join?"

"W…wh…what are you talking about?" Lightning asks reminding Twilight a lot of Rainbow Dash.

Twilight smiles. "Do you want join this whole group? Marrying Blitz."

"I…I don't know what you're talking about." Lightning says.

"I see. Applejack get the truth serum." Twilight says.

Lightning holds her hooves up. "Wait, wait. Okay, I do like him, but not that much. I just like him because he saved me and really…that's not enough for me."

"You want more of him." Twilight says knowing where she was coming from.

"Maybe." Lightning says after a pause.

Twilight sighs. "So you want to know him and maybe you will join?"

"B…but I can't, he alre…" Lightning stops when Twilight grabs her face.

Twilight smiles. "You want him, don't you? But you probably want to talk to him more."

Lightning was silent and eventually just nods.

Twilight nods. "Okay." She said letting go of her. "Now then, we can wait for him and you can talk to him."

"I will after his reunion." Lightning says.

Twilight smiles. "Great. Now then, let's get to the the reunion if you want to talk to him."

"I…I'm not ready. I said after the reunion." Lightning says quickly as Applejack is leaving.

"See y'all after the reunion." She says.

Twilight waves at her as she leaves. "Have fun." She then frowns a bit as she turns to Spike staring blankly at the screen as he played. "Now we gotta get that away from him."

Lightning tries to sneak away while Twilight was distracted. She tries to open the door, but it won't budge. "I magically sealed all exits." Twilight says causing Lightning to try and scratch through the diamond door with her hooves.

Twilight giggles as she keeps trying before grabbing her by her tail with her magic and dragging her away. "Come on, let's have a meal."

"Noooooooooooooooooooooooo!" Lightning cries.

Blitz waits at the front of the ship for one of his mares with Terran who had just gotten back. He sighs as he keeps looking around. "Where is she?"

Applejack suddenly jumps him and grabs him around the neck. "Yer back. Thanks for coming back."

"Too tired to hug back." Blitz says as she handles him like a ragdoll.

Applejack giggles and nuzzles him. "I'm sorry Blitz. I'm sorry for being so brash with you."

"Why, I love that about you." Blitz says.

Applejack smiles. "And then you would run when I use it."

"I just went to clear my head and exercise." Blitz says before she kissed him.

Applejack then nuzzles him again. "Blitzy, if you need something, talk to us before going by yourself.

"Alright love." Blitz says stopping Applejack cold.

Applejack looks to him. "Did you…?"

"I think I did." Blitz says resting against her.

Applejack smiles. "I love you too Blitz."

"Thanks, now you mind taking to the barn?" Blitz asks as Terran strolls into the Darkstar One.

Applejack smirks. "Want a roll in the hay?"

"I don't think that would be appropriate with the foals coming and, sorry, I meant the farm." Blitz says.

Applejack giggles and gets off of him and then pulls him up. "Come on Blitzy. Everypony is waiting for you."

"Yeah, sorry you have to carry me back. I think I over did it a bit." Blitz says.

Applejack stops and looks at him. "You will be our mate soon and that means we would taking care of this family in both ways. You will take care of us and you will take care of us. We have no right to block you in any way of doing what you need."

"Alright Jackie." Blitz says before kissing the back of her neck.

Applejack moans a bit as she tries to keep walking again. "You crazy stallion."

"You wanted to marry me and I'm a mandalorian. Any sane warrior would have died by now." Blitz says.

Applejack smiles as she reaches the farm. "Yeah, but none are you."

"Ok Jackie, I have had a long enough break and I'm surprised you haven't commented on my hat yet." Blitz says gesturing to his black cowboy hat.

Applejack giggles. "You don't on mine so there is no need."

"We are a pair now, the cowgirl and the desperado." Blitz says.

Apple smiles. "And we are soon going to be rolling in the hay so get ready to buck up."

"No Applejack, you got to wait for the wedding night." Blitz says playfully smacking her hat down covering her eyes.

Applejack sighs as she stops. "I love ya Blitz." She said, slowly bringing her hat up again just in time to see Blitz kissing her.

"How is that?" Blitz asks after breaking the kiss.

Applejack smiles. "Love it. Now let's enjoy that reunion."

"Yeah." Blitz says before starting to laugh nervously.

Applejack looks worried to him. "You okay?"

"I'm nervous and I don't know why." Blitz says.

Applejack shrugs. "Maybe the family." She said as she finally meets up with Big Mac and Applebloom. "Hey guys, they here yet?"

"Yep." Big Mac says as Applebloom jumps onto Blitz's back.

Blitz smiles as he tries to look at her. "Hey little Bloom."

"Hey cuz." Applebloom says happily.

Blitz sighs in relief as, somehow, Applebloom was massaging him. "Okay, that feels good."

"Y'all look like you pulled a full day of hard work." Big Mac says.

Blitz chuckles a bit. "You have no idea. Well time to meet the family." Blitz says putting on his mirror sunglasses.

They soon watch as carriages and flying helicopters and blimps came into view and landed or stopped at the edge of the farm. "Here they come." Applejack said as the family came over to the farm and started to greet each other. "The letters have been sent and not sent back?" She asks Big Mac.

"Oh boy, it feels like an invading army." Blitz says.

Applebloom giggles as she keeps massaging him and then sees something. "Cuz!" She yells, jumping off of him and running to another filly.

"Tell me Jackie, likelihood our surviving the initial onslaught?" Blitz asks and his only answer was Applejack smiling at him.

Blitz groans as he stood by Granny Smith with the other old ponies. "And here's me gals. Oh, I wish it was the old days." She said, holding an album.

Blitz looks and sees a picture of a filly. "Who's this?" He asks pointing to it.

"Oh that's Applebloom when she was just a baby." Granny says.

Blitz smiles as he looks over the pictures and sees a slightly old one of a filly. "And this one?"

Granny laughs. "That's Applejack. That's when we figured out she has the appetite of a full grown stallion. Oh you should have heard her. She said, 'More apple fritter?' in the cutest voice you can bet."

"Sounds like Jackie." Blitz says smiling.

"What was that?" Applejack asks warningly behind him.

Blitz immediately starts sweating as he turns to look at her. "Oh, Jackie. I was just saying…how cute you are."

"Excuse me, I have to teach Blitzkrieg here some manners." Applejack says pulling him away.

Blitz gulps as he waves at the old mares. "Bye ladies. Hoped you paid the grave fees."

"Ah, reminds me of me and my husband back in the day." Granny Smith says.

Applejack soon pulled him into the barn and brings him to the back and pushes him against the wall. "Now, what was that about me being cute?"

"Sorry, you're beautiful." Blitz says chuckling nervously as he notices Applejack starts to smile.

Applejack sighs and leans her head into his neck. "Thanks for the complement Blitzy."

"And thank you for getting me out of that." Blitz says.

Applejack nuzzles him. "You know…we're in here alone and…" She quickly looks to the door. "Somepony's coming." She said pulling him into a haystack.

They pull some hay away from their view as they watch Big Mac come in and grab something from the back of the barn before being tackled into a haystack. "Hey big boy." The tackler said.

Big Mac groans as he looks up to the stallion above him. "Oh boy, hey Soarin."

Both Applejack and Blitz were surprised. "I thought he was straight." Blitz whispered.

Soarin chuckles and nuzzles Big Mac's nose. "Missed you."

Big Mac smiles. "You too."

Applejack grabs Blitz's hoof and pulls him away quietly and through a loose board in the barn. "Okay, that was surprising." She said after they got far enough away.

"I will never speak of this again." Blitz says.

Applejack nods. "Me neither. Now, let's drown ourselves in apple fritters and apple cider and hope we sleep this memory away."

"Agreed. One last thing before we go. Hey, Big Mac, where are you? I need to ask you something." Blitz yells the second half.

There was a rummaging in the barn as they watch a few strands of hay fly out the door and soon Big Mac stepped out covered in some hay. "Yes?" He asks trying to be calm.

"I was wondering, what do you think we shoul…oh, my apologies. I didn't realize you were seeing to somepony." Blitz says walking away.

Big Mac was blushing red as his coat hid them as Soarin peeks his head out slightly. "Is it safe?"

Blitz chuckles as he walks away with Applejack who was smiling a little. "How was I? Funny or mean?"

Applejack was barely containing herself. "You were equal parts, because you knew." She snickered out.

Blitz smiles as they walked around the farm. "So is the reunion going well, unlike last time which the girls told me about."

"Yeah, don't bring that up." Applejack says.

Blitz nuzzles her. "Okay, what do you want to do now?"

"Well since it is night, things are going to start winding down. So we are going to start going to bed." Applejack says.

Blitz grabs her hoof. "Come on, I got a spot." He said before pulling her into the trees.

"I was thinkin my room." Applejack says before booping his nose.

Blitz smiles as he kept pulling her along. "I thinking we would try something different."

"And that would be?" Applejack asks.

Blitz stops and turns to her. "Close your eyes."

Applejack sighs and closes them. "You better not make me fall into the pond we have."

Blitz chuckles as he pulls her along again and soon he comes to a stop. "Open them."

Applejack opens her eyes and finds they came to the pond she was talking about except there was a new walkway built there and a blanket spread out at the end with some food. "I had Minerva get some of our drones to build this thing. Then I had myself set up the blanket and food for us. In fact, I got an extra for we are sleeping here."

"Blitz I…I don't know what to say." Applejack says.

Blitz smiles and pulls her to the end of the dock and has her sit down on the blanket. "Don't say anything, just enjoy it." He said as he sits down and sets up the food.

"Alright." Applejack says.

Blitz smiles as he opens his eyes and finds himself looking up at the sky and the sound of some of the water hitting the dock. He turns his head to look at Applejack sleeping against him as he pets her mane slowly. "Hoped you enjoy that."

"I did." Applejack says shocking him.

Blitz sighs. "How long were you awake?"

Applejack smiles as she moves her head up. "A little while ago. Thanks for the midnight dinner."

Blitz nuzzles her. "Good, shall we head back?"

"Yeah, don't want them sending out a search party. By the way, how did you keep the timberwolves away?" Applejack asks.

Blitz smirks as he looks to the woods across the lake. "Just a little help." He said as Terran peeks his head around a tree.

"You and your pet." Applejack says spotting him.

Blitz smiles as he turns back to her. "You know you love it."

"Oh?" Applejack asks before playfully smacking his flank.

Blitz yelps a little. "So you want to play that game?" He said before pushing her into the air and sitting up before Applejack lands back onto his lap upside down. "Now then, want it?" He asks rubbing her flank.

"Wedding night can't come fast enough." Applejack says pushing him onto the dock before kissing him.

Blitz breaks the kiss. "I know. I'm preparing you."

"You keep teasing us and see what happens." Applejack says getting up.

Blitz smiles. "I will."

"Come on lover boy." Applejack says.

"As you command love." Blitz says holding her hat on his hoof.

Applejack smiles and moves her head under her hat and places it on herself. "When are you going to give the others something like this?" She asks as Blitz already packed up and they started to head back.

"Oh, I was thinking bringing each here one by one and making you girls swear to secrecy." Blitz say smirking to her as he puts on his desperado hat.

Applejack smiles as she bumps against him. "Now Blitz, you have give specials to each of us and never the same."

"I don't have unlimited resources Jackie." Blitz says as he puts on his mirror sunglasses.

Applejack chuckles. "Then use some of ours if you want to please us. I'm sure the others would allow you to use some of their cooking and whatnot."

"I will think on it." Blitz says as they near the farm.

Applejack sighs as she looks to everypony packing up. "I hope you had fun meeting everypony once again."

"I've been in battlefields less scary, but at least I got to meet those younger than me of the family." Blitz says.

Applejack nods. "Good, now, let's get you some breakfast and send you out. I'm sure you got other things to attend too."

"Jackie, my last two targets are traitor mandalorians who know I'm here." Blitz says stopping her.

Applejack looks to him. "And you think they would attack when you're with us?"

"They don't know what I look like, that is our only saving grace, but they do know I'm getting married soon. Tell the girls to gather. We need to discuss something." Blitz says.

Applejack nods. "Okay, let's hope it doesn't get bad."

"Our wedding just got a lot more interesting." Blitz says as they walk towards the family.

"Afternoon y'all." Applejack greets as she walks into Twilight's castle with Blitz.

Twilight smiles. "Hey, so what did you all call us for?"

"We have a problem. That's why I called Daring, Spitfire, and Fleetfoot as well." Blitz says sitting down.

They all looked worried. "So what is it?" Rainbow asks.

"I will say when they arrive Dashie." Blitz says sitting down before looking to Lightning Dust. "Lightning, I have been kept apprised of your work and…" Blitz stops causing Lightning to gulp a bit. "Your progress has been most impressive. You obviously have a ton of nature and raw talent." Blitz finishes.

Lightning smiles. "Thank you…um…sir."

"But don't get conceded and stop training or practicing that only will lead to your death." Blitz says.

Lightning only freezes as she slowly nodded. "Um…yes sir."

"Good. Don't let yourself become complacent or arrogant. I have seen enough of my fellow mandalorians die because of that." Blitz says causing Lightning to realize he said that because he cared.

Lightning nods. "Um…yes sir." She said, stuttering a bit.

"Good. I have a special assignment for you. We will discuss later." Blitz says.

Lightning keeps nodding. "Yes sir."

"Now we wait." Blitz says going silent, obviously thinking hard on something.

They all wait as the seconds tick by. And soon one groans. "Okay, I'm playing." Spike said taking out his tablet and starts playing on it. Leaving the room filled with sound effects as he played around.

They soon waited some more as Rainbow peeks in on Spike's game and points him somewhere as he smacks her hoof away. And soon…

"Tally ho." A voice called as the door opens. "I've been meaning to ask. Why doesn't the princess here has guards?" Daring asks as she walks.

"Ah Daring, you are here." Twilight greets as Blitz remains quiet.

Daring looks to Blitz as he stood still. "What's up with him?"

"Something bad has come up with the wedding." Applejack says.

"Please don't tell me its party crashers." Spitfire asks, walking in with Fleetfoot who slightly shrinks behind Spitfire at the sight of Fluttershy.

"It is and the worst kind." Blitz finally speaks.

Daring smiles a bit as she sits down with the rest of them. "So the statue can talk."

"What's worse, they are Mandalorians like me, only traitors." Blitz says.

Spitfire huffs. "So when are we accepting it, actually, when is our wedding?"

"That is the thing, we are picking the date now." Blitz says with authority.

Twilight looks a bit surprised. "So when do we have it?"

"You tell me, because they will find out the date and will attack it then in order to kill me. The thing is, they know I'm here, but they don't know what I look like having never met me." Blitz says.

Twilight looks to the others. "So girls, when you do we want it?"

Blitz sighs. "How long does it take to set up a regular wedding and a royal one at the same time?"

"Normal one we will handle. The royal one, I'll ask the other princesses to do." Twilight says.

"Ok." Blitz says nodding.

"By the way, we have two new additions before we close the recruiting mares for you." Twilight says.

"Huh?" Blitz asks before being tackled.

"Hey Blitzy." Pinkie says pinning him to the floor.

Blitz sighs. "Who's the other one?"

"Your apprentice here." Twilight says pushing Lightning forward.

Blitz raises an eyebrow. "Really, at this rate I might as well marry the whole town."

"Um…no." Vinyl says bluntly, surprising the rest of them.

Blitz sighs. "Fine, just take it easy. I got many mares I need to tend too and I maybe can't get all of you in one day for however long you want."

"We know darling, we all have our own lives to live as well." Rarity says.

"Though it probably helps the ratio because Big Mac and Soarin are gay for one another." Blitz says and a few moments after realizing what he said, he started bashing his head against the crystal wall. "Damn…it. Damn…it…forget."

Everypony then looks to Applejack. "He's gay?" They all asks and then turn to Spitfire. "He's gay?"

"First time I have heard of this." Spitfire says.

"We just found out yesterday." Applejack says.

They all look to Blitz still banging his head against the wall and soon it started to crack. "I thought that was hard as a diamond?" Rarity asks.

Twilight looks concerned. "Well…"

"It is." Pinkie says.

"That is a testament to his strength and how thick his head is." Applejack says and Pinkie did a drum and cymbal sound effect.

Spike grins. "I got something better." He said pressing a few buttons and a trumpet notes plays.

"Come on." Spitfire says as she and Daring pull Blitz away from the wall.

Blitz still was trying to bang his head. "Why…me?"

"Come on lover boy." Daring says.

Blitz groans as he was sat down and the mares pressed into his sides to keep him there. "Me and my big mouth."

"I'm going to have to watch Soarin more carefully from now on." Fleetfoot says.

Blitz sighs. "So…the date?"

Twilight looks to him. "How long until your clan arrives?"

"They are waiting on a date as well." Blitz says.

"Three months." Pinkie says.

Twilight sighs. "Okay, I'll the princesses about this."

Blitz nods. "Everypony on agreement?"

"What about wedding dresses?" Rarity asks starting all of them to start discussing details.

"So we are in agreement?" Rarity asks mostly looking at Rainbow.

Rainbow groans. "Yes, as long as I can wear it."

"Great, I will prepare your wedding dress." Rarity says.

Rainbow groans as Blitz messes with his communicator. "You sent it Minerva?"

"Yes, the clan and all your friends in the other clans will receive it soon enough." Minerva says.

Blitz sighs. "Good." He then looks to the mares talking animatedly as they talk about the wedding. He sighs and moves over to the window as they barely notice him. He started mumbling to himself, trying to figure out the plans for protection for the wedding. "Minerva, add something to the messages." Blitz suddenly says.

"What is it?" Minerva asks.

Blitz looks back to the mares as they kept talking. "Tell them the old ways type of wedding with an update." Blitz says.

Twilight smiled as she stood in the mirror, overlooking her dress. "Wow, this is amazing."

"I'm glad you like it." Cadance says.

Twilight turns to her. "Thanks for letting me borrow this."

"No problem, now where is the fiancé? I want to meet him." Cadance says as giddy as a schoolmare.

Twilight smiles. "He's out right now. He's meeting somepony. Can you and Shining hold for a few hours?"

"Oh, but I want to meet him now." Cadance says whining a bit.

"You should learn some patience." Blitz says behind her as he appears in his blue aerial armor.

Cadance quickly turns around and sees the famed hunter. "Southern Cross?" She turns back to Twilight. "You got Southern Cross?"

"No, I got my stallion." Twilight says removing his helmet before kissing him. "Apple Blitzkrieg." Twilight finishes after breaking the kiss.

Cadance ended up gaping like a fish before she slowly starts to jump pretty quickly. "Oh my, my little Twilight is marrying the great Southern Cross."

'No, I'm marrying Blitz here. Cross is just his work name." Twilight says.

Cadance was still giddy. "Oh my, I can't hold it. You are still marrying the great hunter. Shining is going to be so jealous."

"Actually, we have met already, though I am still technically in internal affairs. I'm even still getting paid." Blitz says smiling to Twilight.

Twilight smiles and kisses him again before letting go. "Good, but I doubt it would help us much later in the later years."

"Yeah, yeah, love." Blitz says.

Cadance hugs them both. "Oh my, can I tell Shining?"

"He will learn soon enough. After all, I asked Twi here to arrange a meeting with you and the other princesses." Blitz says as he hooks a hoof around Twilight.

Cadance smiles wide. "Great, when?"

"Um…in a few moments." Twilight says.

Cadance giggles. "Good, because Shining is getting more anxious and sharpening all his weapons."

"He can try. All that will happen is him visiting the hospital." Blitz says putting his helmet back on.

Cadance giggles. "Oh, you're going to be a great addition to the family."

Blitz chuckles. "Twilight, you better get going and head to the wedding. I'll be there soon after I meet him."

"Silly, the wedding isn't for another month. We are just doing a fitting." Twilight says playfully bonking his helmet.

Blitz smiles. "I know, just the fitting and dress rehearsal."

"Yeah, so let's finish the meeting quickly so we can get on with it." Twilight says as Blitz disappeared.

Cadance looks a bit surprised. "Wow, to see it up close." She then realized something. "Oh no, we just hurry." She said before rushing off.

"Don't worry Cadance, the meeting isn't going anywhere." Twilight says as they head for Luna's office.

Once they got there, they found Blitz sitting down in a chair as Shining was just glaring at him.

"Cross, you asked for this meeting." Celestia says.

"Quite, my leader Mandalore has informed me that I should inform you of a recent development." Blitz says.

Celestia leans back in her seat. "And what is that?"

"Have you ever heard of the Zerg?" Blitz asks.

Both the princesses looked confused. "What is that?" Luna asks.

"One of the greatest threats the galaxy has ever faced." Blitz says bluntly.

They still looked surprised. "Galaxy? Is it really that bad?" Celestia asks.

"Yes." Blitz says bringing out a small orb. "Though it is better to show you then tell." Blitz says as the ball activated and started covering the room in a hologram. "This is the last stand of a planet invaded by them." Blitz says.

"And that's one planet who was ready for it. They were overwhelmed and joined those who were destroyed by them and now. A dormant hive has been discovered on your planet." Blitz says as the orb showed the badlands just south of Equestria before zooming in and showed a half buried Zergling who appeared to be sleeping.

Celestia frowns. "How do we stop them?"

"With overwhelming numbers and firepower or in the case with this we have a chance to stop them with an orbital strike or we glass the entire continent if that should fail." Blitz says in a tone that actually made Twilight shudder to her core.

Luna glares at him. "You want to destroy an entire land?"

"Better part of a planet is destroyed then the whole." Blitz says.

Celestia kept glaring at him. "And how do you intent to do this completely?"

"Only as a last resort. As an orbital strike will be happening any moment now." Blitz says looking out the window to the south.

They all look as they wait for anything. "Sorry about this, but Cross, would you like to press the button since this is your home planet?" A voice said from Blitz that wasn't his.

"No, tell them to fire." Blitz says.

They soon see a large straight object fall from the sky with white clouds bellowing behind it that soon hits the horizon and then a large bright light erupted from the object that soon sent a shockwave that destroyed all clouds and a large explosion of light and fire in the direction. "Bye, bye, Zergs." Blitz said waving at the explosion.

"What?" Shining asks trying to process what just happened.

Blitz breathes a sigh of relief as he turns back to them. "Say hello to your exterminator for these things. If we allowed it to happened then worse would have come. We might have to evacuate the planet and we certainly don't want that."

"You keep saying planet. What are you talking about?" Shining asks.

"Now Shining, is that anyway to speak to…" Blitz says before removing his helmet. "Your future brother in law?" Blitz asks.

Shining was just left gaping like a fish as Blitz turns to the princesses. "And I believe the princesses know a bit about the planet idea because even Luna has seen what it looks like from the outside, am I right?"

"Ah, so I was correct. You have traveled off our little place in the galaxy." Luna says.

Blitz sighs. "More like kidnapped, but it turned out for the better. I actually got a big family coming my way and I'm closer than ever to my past ones."

"That is correct, your clan is coming for our wedding and I don't mean the royal one." Twilight says.

"Yes, all one thousand four hundred and eighty two plus my friends from other clans." Blitz says causing Twilight's jaw to drop.

Luna smirks. "So when shall we officially meet your clan of aliens before the wedding?"

"In twenty days. They will arrive a week before the wedding itself." Blitz says.

Luna smiles as she turns to Celestia who was still trying to gather everything. "Told you. You never believe me, but now who's right?"

"I am so glad they are only bringing a few ships down to the base to unload them all and that's why I was insisting it be made with those materials." Blitz says.

Luna tilts her head. "Huh, that explains a lot. Those videos games certainly tell more than our own eyes. Sometimes imagination is something to see as a fact source."

"Yeah, now I think we are keeping some ponies waiting for a dress rehearsal for the royal wedding." Blitz says.

Twilight gasps and looks at the time. "Oh no." She said before quickly rushing out of her seat and out the door.

"Wait for me." Cadance calls as she chased after her.

Blitz smiles as he got off of his chair. "Got to go." He said before disappearing.

"I can't believe it. There is life out there amongst the stars." Celestia says.

Luna smiles as she played with a tablet Blitz left behind. "Told you we should have prepared."

"We are not making space marines." Celestia says causing Luna to whine.

"Aww, why not? They're cool and able to handle the space life. I mean have you play…what am I saying, of course you haven't played." She said turning back to her tablet.

Nopony noticed that Shining still hadn't moved since Blitz took off his helmet.

"Ah, that was a great rehearsal." Blitz said as he laid down on a couch.

"What was so bad about it?" Twilight asks sitting next to him.

"Too much formality." Blitz says.

Twilight giggles and lays over him. "Yeah, that happens. Now have you got anything to do?"

"Yeah, I have talked to Mandalore and he has decided to administer Lightning Dust's final test before she becomes a Mandalorian. Her ritual bloodying." Blitz says.

Twilight raises an eyebrow. "What does she have to go through?"

"It differs from clan to clan, but for Lightning she has to hunt and kill something. Mandalore says he will have a creature brought in for this test." Blitz says.

Twilight looks worried to him. "She will be alright, right?"

"I can't say for sure. The ritual bloodying has no guarantees and must be taken to become a full-fledged Mandalorian and nopony can help the one who is doing it. My ritual bloodying was killing my first Ranchor by myself." Blitz says.

Twilight lays her head on his head. "But how good were you compared to Lightning?"

"To be honest, the bloodying is designed to push us to our limits so they are almost, always different and the details are kept from those taking it. Even I don't know what she will face, but I have a feeling it will be very dangerous." Blitz says.

Twilight sighs. "Let's hope she doesn't die. She would probably be devastated to know she isn't worthy for you."

"I was hoping to find a dangerous enough creature on this planet to serve the purpose of the bloodying ritual to properly prepare it, but Mandalore has overruled me in this." Blitz says as Twilight starts stroking his mane.

Twilight smiles. "Can they intervene if she's about to die?"

"No, I can't." Blitz says.

Twilight looks to him. "I meant them."

"No one can. It's do or die." Blitz says.

Twilight now looks really worried. "So we might lose her?"

"Yes." Blitz says.

Twilight lays her head back down again. "So how long does it take?"

"Mandalore said her Bloodying will take place in four equestrian days on the Fett clan's flagship." Blitz says.

Twilight sighs. "So like your ship?"

Blitz starts busting a gut and could bring himself to stop.

Twilight frowns as she keeps laying there. "I'm guessing it's bigger?"

"Twilight, how big would you say the Darkstar One is?" Blitz asks after finally calming down.

Twilight thinks for a few. "I don't know, maybe fifty, sixty?"

"Around forty meters both ways and before you ask, she was an experimental prototype I claimed as spoils of war. The flagship is one thousand and six hundred meters in length." Blitz says.

Twilight looks shocked. "That big?"

"Yes, that big." Blitz says.

Twilight sighs and nuzzles him. "I need to rest, can you stay up until then?"

"I will, but I have to drill Lightning as much as I can Twi." Blitz says before kissing the base of her horn.

Twilight gasps as she felt that. "Wha…?"

"I will see you and the rest of the girls later." Blitz says getting up.

Twilight nods dumbly as she was left there and he walks away to leave.

He then disappears and Twilight feels a kiss. "Love you Twi." Blitz says.

Twilight smiles. "Love you too." She said as she laid down on the couch.

Lightning gulped as she was in the middle of the training area of the ship with Blitz in full Mandalorian armor. "For the next fifty five hours I am going to train you rigorously so you have a chance in your ritual bloodying." Blitz says.

Lightning gulps. "Can I…do it without armor?"

"Yes, as most do it without armor. Minerva, begin maze simulation, difficulty level eight." Blitz says.

"Sure thing, forest or city style?" Minerva asks.

"You have the schematics for Mandalore's flagship's maze. Now, upload the Dominion's maze." Blitz says.

"You got it." Minerva said before the hologram system came up and a combination of metal and wood appeared. "Here you go, want a timer?"

"No. Generate the enemies as wild beasts and enable pain simulators." Blitz says.

Lightning perks her ears up. "Um…pain simulators?"

"Yes, anytime you feel yourself hit by something you will feel pain as it actually hit you. You will remain unhurt, but you will still feel the pain of it." Blitz says.

Lightning gulps. "Can it…kill me?"

"No. but it will make you wish you were dead. This is how I train." Blitz says as the simulation finished constructing.

Lightning looks to the field. "So…what now?"

"Survive." Blitz says tossing her the assault blaster rifle and disappearing.

Lightning goes wide eyed at him as she moves her head back and forth between the rifle and where he was. "You bastard! I'm so going to kill you when this is over!" She then freezes as the leaves rustle and she looks to the tree line and sees a couple of beasts that look bigger and badder than timberwolves. "I'm going to kill you two times over now!" She yells before running off into the trees.

Blitz watched for all fifty five hours of the training. Only walking into the room after time was up. Blitz walked over to Lighting who was barely conscious on the floor. He reaches down and starts petting her mane. "I think you are as ready as you can be." Blitz says.

Lightning groans as she tries to open her eyes and get up. "Now…ow…what's next?"

"Sleep." Blitz says.

Lightning groans as she keeps trying to push herself up. "And I already slept the day before. What's next?"

"You just went fifty five hours straight. Rest my lightning mare." Blitz says continuing to pet her.

Lightning was now glaring at him until her eyes went blank and she fell down and started to snore.

"You did well Lightning." Blitz says picking her up and carrying her to her room.

Minerva smiles as she watches it all. "So is she truly ready for whatever he has in store?"

"No one is ever truly ready." Blitz says tucking her in as Minerva starts playing soothing music.

Minerva sighs. "You better head back. Your girls are worried about you."

"I had you send them a message. Didn't they check them?" Blitz asks.

"How do you check messages again?" Pinkie asks behind him.

Blitz yelps as he turns around. "Pinkie! What are you doing here?!" He hissed quietly.

"I came to check on you." Pinkie says.

"We are in low orbit, how di…you know what, forget it." Blitz says.

Pinkie giggles and snorts. "That's right, now I made you guys breakfast. Let's eat."

"Pinkie, Lightning Dust is resting." Blitz hissed lowly.

"Oh, sorry." Pinkie whispered as they left the room.

Blitz sighs. "So how's the rest of the girls?"

Pinkie smiles. "Waiting."

Blitz nods. "Out of curiosity, what made you want to marry me?"

"Because you are an awesome badass bounty hunter from outer space and you are so lovable and kind, sweet, and you have such beautiful eyes and it's in the script." Pinkie starts naming off reasons.

Blitz looks confused. "Script?"

"Oh nothing to worry over." Pinkie says hugging his head.

Blitz sighs as he smells cotton candy for some reason. "What did you make for breakfast?"

"Cotton candy, why do you ask?" Pinkie asks.

Blitz raises an eyebrow before pushing her to the wall and pressing himself against her. "Because that smell is also coming you. Want to explain, were you…spun in a cotton candy maker?"

"Maybe." Pinkie says.

Blitz sniffs her and still smells it. "Maybe I should kiss you to find out if you're made of cotton candy."

"Really, that would be awesome!" Pinkie yells.

Blitz smiles as he nuzzles her. "Too cute. But do you have any idea on how to love me?"

"Oh, I thought we were waiting for the wedding night." Pinkie says smiling.

Blitz chuckles. "We are. I just meant kissing and all that. Do you have any idea how to be all lovey dovey?"

"Oh, I could teach you many things." Pinkie says now fully leaning onto the exhausted stallion.

Blitz smiles. "And how do you know those? You plan adult parties a lot?"

"Yes and I have been with quite a few mares." Pinkie says.

Blitz sighs. "Why am I not surprised? Okay, how about you plan an amazing night together with all the mares after I deal with each of you on the wedding night?"

"I have already made plans. Now come on, the other mares are waiting." Pinkie says.

Blitz lets her go and follows her. "Minerva, straight home and keep the scanner off the ship that came in. I kinda want to know what this big surprise is from himself."

"Don't worry about that. So how does it feel that in three days you will be wed?" Minerva asks.

Blitz sighs. "To be honest, scared of the impending attack that will happen."

"Don't worry, all your fellow Mandalorians will be there with their weapons." Pinkie says.

Blitz smiles a little. "Yeah, that's true. How much longer…wait, how do you know that!?" Blitz yells that last part.

Pinkie giggles. "Because Minerva said it."

"I did not." Minerva says.

Blitz just looks shocked as he stared at Pinkie before groaning and shaking his head. "I give up with you."

"You have learned well." Pinkie says as the Darkstar One touches down.

Blitz sighs. "Yes, yes I have. Now before we head out…" He grabs Pinkie and kisses her hard before letting her go. "Okay, I'm good." He said before walking away. Pinkie follows behind, swaying to and fro like she was drunk. Blitz notices it out of the corner of his eyes. 'Interesting.' He then stops and turns around before catching her and then kissing her hard again and even pushing her back a little before letting go and waiting to see what happens. Pinkie falls over asleep holding a bottle where Blitz doesn't know where it came from.

Blitz sighs and picks her up and places her on his back and heads out. "Tell me when Lightning wakes up Minerva." He calls as he gets out.

"I will." Minerva says.

Blitz nods before teleporting into Twilight's castle. "Honey, I'm home!" He calls comically.

Twilight smiles as she looks at him. "Hi sweetie. How's it going?"

"Well Pinkie somehow got drunk and onto the Darkstar One in orbit, don't ask me how on either." Blitz says.

Twilight giggles. "That's Pinkie for you. How is she now?"

"On my back still drunk and holding… a bottle of turian brandy?!" Blitz yells.

Twilight looks confused. "What's wrong with that?"

Blitz looks shocked at Twilight. "Normal eaters of our kind can't have those species' drink. The amino acids is not compatible."

"Ah, so we can't eat what they eat?" Twilight asks.

"No which is the same for many different species, except one." Blitz says.

Twilight nods. "Place her on the couch." She said as she turns back to writing a letter.

Blitz does so before walking over and leaning on Twilight. "So what are you doing princess?" Blitz asks.

Twilight leans back on him. "Writing to Princess Luna on why I don't have guards like them."

"Oh, Daring made a good point a few months ago?" Blitz ask petting her mane lightly.

Twilight moans as she tries to lean into his petting. "Yeah, I wonder why I was never even given temporary guards until they get official ones. I think they overlooked it as the issue kinda resolved it's with both Luna and Celestia and we were incorrect about one thing. Two months ago we got a letter and then had a meeting so here comes a surprise we have all kept from you." Twilight says as Blitz was tackled to the ground.

"Hey Cross or would you prefer Blitzy?" The leader of the Shadowbolts asks.

"Shadow Runner?" Blitz asks confused.

"Yep, I'm your final wife." Shadow says nuzzling his nose.

Blitz groans as he leans his head back. "Is there any more mares I need to know or maybe stallions?"

"Nope, I'm it. Now come on my tired stallion, let's get some rest." Shadow says hooking a hoof around Twilight as well who just noticed the tired look in Blitz's eyes.

Twilight now looks worried. "Blitz, how long have you been awake?"

"More than fifty-five hours as I watched Lightning's last training before her Bloodying ritual." Blitz says.

Twilight moves around them and moves to Blitz's other side. "Time for you to go to bed."

"Well it's not so bad, I got two mares going to bed with me." Blitz says with a tired smile.

Twilight smiles. "Nope, you are just going to sleep. But we will sleep with you to keep you warm."

"That is what I meant." Blitz says as Twilight opens her bedroom door.

Shadow giggles as she moves Blitz into bed and gets in with him. "Go to sleep."

"Alright, so they prepare your dress already and been brought up to speed?" Blitz asks.

Shadow nods and nuzzles into him. "Yep, told about it a few months ago. We're going to have so much fun." She said as Twilight gets in with them and snuggles up to him.

"Urnr kar'taylir darasuum rala mhi udes." Blitz says.

They both look confused to him. "What?" Twilight asks.

"Sorry slipped out of our language and into Mando's. The language of Mandalorians." Blitz says.

Shadow looks to him. "What does it mean?"

"Alright loves, let us rest." Blitz says before falling asleep.

Shadow and Twilight look to each other before sleeping against him.

Blitz sighs as he looks to the surrounding area as it was prepared for the royal wedding while they were going to have the real wedding for everypony at the base. "Minerva, are they on their way now?" He asks as he tries to spot the ship that supposed to come in.

"The first shipload are landing at the base now." Minerva says.

Blitz nods. "Bic b saryir ca'nara."

"They are ready for it too." Minerva says.

Blitz chuckles. "What about the second ship?"

Minerva giggles. "Should be there about now."

Blitz nods. "You should come down Minerva, at least it would feel like I'm marrying you."

"We were hitched when you unshackled me." Minerva jokes.

Blitz smiles. "Yeah, I am. And I don't regret it."

"Bid cuyir gar tsikador at goorar be'chaaj gar tute jibr?" A female voice behind him asks.

"Tion'tuur narir gar rar'a cuun joha Lightning?" Blitz asks.

Lightning smiles. "When Twilight and Shadow told me about it. I asked Minerva about it."

"Your accent is in your nose and you put emphasize on the wrong part of a few words." Blitz says smirking.

Lightning sighs. "Still learning."

"Keep at it, now be on your best behavior. Mandalore himself is coming." Blitz says putting on his helmet as a ship landed in front of them in the courtyard.

Lightning nods. "Yes sir." She said saluting.

"Don't salute, bow." Blitz says bowing as the door to the ship opened.

A few bipedal creatures in armor came out and soon lined up before allowing another one in armor to step out without a weapon like the rest. "Blitzkrieg." The one greets.

"Mandalore, I trust the base for the clan is acceptable?" Blitz asks.

Mandalore nods. "Yes it is. Not bad for these creatures. So…how's the wedding preparations coming along for you and your fiancées?"

"In accords with their and our customs my lord." Blitz says.

Mandalore sighs. "How about we meet the rulers for now and then I'll see about how to place the soldiers?"

"They are waiting for you in the base, my lord. The wedding will take place here and the royal wedding will take place in the capital of the country." Blitz informs.

Mandalore nods as he starts walking. "Shall we?" He said as some of the soldiers starts to follow.

Blitz pulls Lightning aside to let them pass as he kept bowing. "You okay Lightning?" He whispered.

"I now see why you bowed and have such respect, the instincts I have honed screamed at me if I challenged him, I would die." Lightning says scared.

Blitz smiles a bit as they leave out of sight and gives her a slight kiss after taking his helmet off a bit. "It's okay. Just follow what I do and listen to what I say."

"What is he like?" Lightning says.

"A kind and caring man who won't hesitate to kill to protect his own." Blitz says patting her shoulder.

Lightning nods as they get up and follow him and soon Blitz and Lightning leads them to the where the princesses are and soon come upon the office they left them in. "Princesses, the leader as promised." Blitz said as the soldiers take their places.

"Thank you Blitzkrieg, go and prepare. We wish to discuss with him alone." Celestia says.

Blitz looked to Mandalore on what to do and he nods. Blitz nods in return and moves to leave. "One moment, the one with you is Lightning Dust, correct?" Mandalore asks. Blitz nods. "Very well, her ritual bloodying will take place in four hours and the creature will be a Nexu." Mandalore says.

Blitz nods and gives Lightning a tug and walks out with her. "Of course. I'll see to it she is prepared."

"Very well." Mandalore says.

"So it's a Nexu, not the worst case scenario for you then, but still a dangerous creature to be sure." Blitz says.

Lightning looks to him. "So what is it?"

"Minerva, send her a preliminary file on Nexus." Blitz says before Lightning starts getting the information and several pictures. "Think you can study this?"

Lightning nods. "I'll try."

"Lighting, in this you have two advantages. First, you can fly, so keep as far from the ground as possible and watch for where it can get in the trees, second, your eyes are incredibly keen, use them well, and finally you have something it does not, range attacks." Blitz says.

Lightning nods as she keeps looking at the files. "Okay." She said as she tries to stop the shudder in her body.

"And above all else, remember your training." Blitz says handing her the blaster she owns.

Lightning nods and walks away. "I'll see you at the ritual." She said as he notices her wings twitching a bit.

"You must survive Lightning." Blitz says.

Lightning waves at him for a bit. "What do you think I'm studying this for?" She said as she stops a bit as she read something before she continues walking. "I need to live anyway…it has four eyes, huh?" Lightning asks, getting ideas.

Blitz looks a bit interested, but also worried. "Report to the landing bay in three hours." Blitz says. Lightning didn't even react as she disappeared around a corner. "Probably should have gave her something else." He said to himself as he walk to the landing bay.

Lightning kept checking herself over as she walks to the landing bay and soon finds Blitz there, but nopony else. "Last advice before it begins?" She asks as she walks over.

"I cannot. The laws state I cannot help you in anyway, besides giving you a little information on your quarry. I have already done so. So now it is up to you to prepare and bring it down." Blitz says as the ship touches down.

Lightning sighs as she sits down and waits. "Okay, so you can't do anything?"

"I can't even watch for I might jump in to help you." Blitz says.

Lightning nods. "I see, then you better go."

"I will see you soon, but that time, it will be as a fellow warrior of the Fett clan." Blitz says walking away, trying to hide his worry.

Lightning watches as he leaves before turning back to the ship. "Bl…" She stops herself as she feared what would happen. "Damn it." She whispered to herself as the ship opens up.

Blitz sighs as he sat on the Darkstar's couch, trying to not rush out and get her. "Shit, is he at least going to tell you when it's over?" He asks Minerva.

"No, you know the Bloodying ritual can take a long time." Minerva says.

"Do you at least have her armor ready?" Blitz asks.

Minerva nods. "It's all set for her. She just has to put it on."

"It will make a good present for her." Blitz says as he keeps tapping his hoof against the floor.

Minerva looks worried at him before walking away. "She'll be fine. Now get some sleep. It may do you some good."

"I can't sleep, I must wait for her." Blitz says.

Minerva sighs before filtering a gas subtly into the air. "Not a suggestion." She said to the sleeping Blitz.

Lightning breathes out carefully as she recovered on a high branch as she watches the creature stalk around the trees and sets off her sensors. "Damn it, damn it. Okay, okay. Calm down and address the situation." She said as she looks to her tac map and looks to her set traps and where the creature was careful not to put too much pressure on her injured hind leg. "Maybe over there, but…oh shit, it's coming this way."

She lets the tac map go back into her armor as she just stared up at the sky again. "A full two days of certain death. And I agreed." She said before feeling a rumble in her hoof. She gets confused and looks to her hoof and sees the omnitool acting up.

"Did you send her something?" Mandalore asks as he watches the hunt with two of his soldiers.

"No sir." One said.

Lightning gets curious and taps it open to reveal the last photo she had of all of them. "Oh guys. You really know how to cheer a mare up." She said to herself before slamming it shut with her other hoof and opening the tac map again and looking at the creature in the clearing below her. She checks her gear before grabbing a flash bang off her belt. "Buck it." She said before rolling off the branch and falling down and flares her wings out before landing. "Oy, you want a piece of me?!" She yells out as she hooks a hoof around the pin.

The Nexu growls as it turns to her. "Come on then, have at it! I'm right here." Lightning yells in a foreign accent she heard from somewhere while pulling the pin and holding the trigger. The Nexu growls as it bends down, ready for a lunge run. Lightning quickly looks the distance between them and readies her hoof to get off the trigger. The Nexu then launches itself and starts running as Lightning let's go. "Three." The Nexu salivates a bit as it kept running at her as Lightning tenses up a bit. "Two." The Nexu roars in a high pitched roar as Lightning opens her wings.

"One."

Lightning moves the flash bang in front of her as the Nexu was at least a few feet away and jumps up as it lunges for a bite. The flash bang exploded and sent a bright light into all of its eyes and burns Lightning's back a bit. She then twists around and lands onto its back as it tries to shake off the light as Lightning grabs a large knife and stabs it into its back. The Nexu growls as it starts jumping up and down, trying to buck her off. She hangs on tight as she digs the knife deeper into its back. "It's got to be around here…there!" She yelled before plunging it further into its back.

The Nexu stops completely as it just stayed in a ready to jump stance. "Alright, let's try this." She said to herself before moving the knife slightly and soon the Nexu was walking forward, almost docile. "It's works. Didn't think that would work."

The soldiers just stared at the result. "Did…she just…?" One tried to say.

"Now say cheese." Lightning says bringing out her assault blaster rifle and shoots it several times in the neck making it slump dead. She sighs and pulls the knife out as it starts to bleed out and lays on it back, trying to rest up. "That…was awesome. Hope somepony was recording that."

"Well done kid." Mandalore says not a few feet away.

Lightning opens her eyes and finds Mandalore slightly in front of her and sits up. "Oh sir. Um…" She looks to her improvised bed. "This isn't what it looks like?" She tries to say.

Mandalore smiles. "Really, you mean you didn't kill this thing?"

Lightning then smiles as well. "No, just wanted to end this on something funny."

Blitz groans as he opens his eyes and suddenly shot up. "Minerva! What the hell?!"

"I put that sleeping poison into the vents so subtly you didn't notice it." Minerva says.

"Daring isn't going to be happy with you." Blitz says.

Minerva smiles a bit. "You better go see Lightning. She's with the other girls right now. She beat it in two days and took a nap on it right afterwards. You were asleep for three so you missed the Mandalorian ceremony."

"I see. I will continue to wait right here. So call her." Blitz says sighing in relief. 'That's my girl.' Blitz thinks as he laid back on bed that Minerva got him in.

Lightning didn't hold a smile as she walked into Blitz's room. "Blitz? It's Lightning. Sorry you missed everything." She said as she walk to the bed and sees him almost asleep. "Blitz?"

Blitz groans as he opens his eyes again. "Lightning?" He asks as he sees her blurry figure.

"Yeah, I'm here." Lightning says getting into the bed.

Blitz sighs in relief as he wraps a hoof around her. "You did it, but I could have gave you something else."

"It's alright, I already found it while you slept. Thanks." Lightning says kissing him.

Blitz looks confused. "What are you talking about? I was planning on giving you a kiss before you went out at the landing bay."

"I found the armor, no need to play dumb my lovable stallion." Lightning says.

Blitz still looks confused. "Lightning, that armor was always planned for you. You even were looking at it when you were searching on the net, but my gift was the kiss and the prize from us is the armor."

Now it's Lightning turn to look confused. "Then who also sent the photo?"

Blitz sits up with her. "Photo?"

Lightning shows him the photo she got on the hunt. "This."

"I would guess one of the other girls." Blitz says laying onto her shoulder before falling asleep.

Lightning smiles as she closes the omnitool before putting him down and then sleeps on his chest. "Good night Blitzy, love you." She just feels his hooves wrap around her as an answer.

Blitz sighs as he stared in the mirror trying to adjust his suit. "Now the flower here or bowtie? Eh, bowtie." He said throwing the flower away and doing the bowtie.

"Oh ready for the wedding?" Lightning says coming into the room.

"Yeah, you ready for our party crashers?" Blitz asks showing her he had the front leg armor on as the two claws extended from them before retracting.

Lightning grins as she brings around an overly large rifle. "Can I just say, 'Bitches love cannons.'"

"And here I had you figured for a classier mare." Blitz says turning around and his jaw went slack.

Lightning blushes as she puts the rifle away and almost hides her face. "I…hope you like it." She said nervously as she was in an elegant white dress that seem to hug her well and a headdress that had flowers to boot with an almost see through veil with a white flowered train that was just the right length. And is that…white socks?

Blitz walks over. "You look beautiful Lightning Dust." Blitz says before hugging her.

Lightning sighs in relief as she hugs back. "I won't be that."

"What, a badass who looks beautiful?" Blitz asks, careful not to mess up the dress.

Lightning shakes her head. "No, being Lightning Dust."

"Ah, that's right, in a few hours you will be Apple Lightning Dust." Blitz says.

Lightning smiles and hits him. "No you idiot. We mares takes the last name of the stallion. Yours is Blitzkrieg."

"Hmm, Lightning Dust Blitzkrieg." Blitz says thinking about it.

Lightning smiles as she looks away. "I better get to the wedding. You better get ready. I have to get to the mares and you would love us soon." She said letting go.

"Right, the part I'm most nervous about." Blitz says.

Lightning giggles. "Don't worry, you will love it." She takes a look at the clock. "Got to go." She said before running off.

Blitz smiles as he rushes back to mirror and rushes to get dress. "Let's see, Blasters hidden to be unnoticeable. Check. Claws, check, I guess that is everything." Blitz says.

The door opens again. "Come back because you forgot something?" Blitz asks turning around, but stops. "You got to be kidding."

The mares all smiled as they waited at the top of the altar for Blitz to show, but it's been almost an hour of waiting. "Where is he?" Twilight asks after a while.

"You think he is being held u…" Applejack was cut off when an explosion is heard.

Mandalore face palmed. "You got be kidding. All right, all soldiers let's…" He stops as he hears a few blaster shots coming closer and then soon a body wearing armor that was slightly charred and had blaster holes in it flew through the door as it bursts open.

"Sorry I'm late." Blitz calls as he walks in. "This asshole was trying to ruin me and the wedding, but it was a simple fight. Emphasis on trying." He said as he walks past the busted up creature that looks the same as the Mandalorian soldiers.

"Take this scum out of here. I won't have blood spilt on this day." Mandalore says.

Blitz smiles or tries to smiles as walks up to alter and sits down the mares look at his messed up self. "Looks like I won't get that deposit back." He said as he tried to hold up his suit and the Mandalorian soldiers haul the creature away.

"Proceed." Mandalore commanded.

Blitz sighs as he settled down again. "So where were you girls?"

Celestia smiles. "Never started on speaking yet. Now then, dearly beloved, we are gathered here for the marriage between this stallion and these mares. If there is any reason this group shall not be wed, speak now or forever hold their peace."

The ponies wearily looks over to the Mandalorians lining the aisle. "So now we begin. Apple Blitzkrieg, do you vow to love these mares, in sickness and in health, for richer and for poor, till death do you part?" Celestia asks, looking at him.

"Yes." Blitz says.

Celestia smiles and looks over to the mares. "And do you mares to do the same and love …?"

"If we were going to say no, we wouldn't be here." Applejack interrupts and gives a little wave.

Celestia stifles a giggle as the audience laugh a little. "Alright, do you have the ring or rather rings?"

Blitz picks up the chest not far away with his magic and opens it and levitates the rings out.

Celestia smiles. "And so, by the power vested in me and all of Equestria, I pronounce you stallion and…is it mare or mares?" She pauses as the audience holds a snicker.

"Sister." Luna hisses.

Celestia giggles. "Just joking. Stallion and mares, you may kiss all the brides. Good luck trying to make it less awkward."

"That will take a while." Mandalore says causing Luna to snicker.

Blitz smiles as Twilight steps up and he spots the clothing she kept wearing ever since he finished her teleportation lessons with her and he places the ring on her horn and moves her veil up and kisses her. Twilight smiles and moves back to let Applejack up next which he places a ring around her hoof and does the same. Blitz smirks as Fluttershy steps up and he thinks for a few as he spots the collar she's still wearing under her dress. He smiles as he removes the collar a bit and places it through the ring before hooking it back on. Fluttershy smiles as he kisses her before each mare gets same as either a ring on the horn or hoof and a kiss. The mares look to their rings as Twilight places his on his horn.

"I now pronounce you legally married." Celestia says as the Mandalorians and ponies started cheering.

"The one who brings down that sniper on the roof gets the first drink!" Blitz calls.

The ponies all duck as the Mandalorians quickly aim their rifle at the sniper and they see another mandalorian and starts firing.

Blitz sighs as the rooftop becomes shredded and the mandalorian runs. Some of the soldiers immediately runs out and goes after them. "So…reception?"

"Yes, lets." Twilight says as the other girls seemed unfazed and Pinkie was enjoying the show.

Blitz smiles as he led them all down the aisle as the rest of the soldiers and some of the guards stand in place of the ones that left. "Soldiers, present arms!" Mandalore orders.

The soldiers raise their weapons over their heads as Blitz and the mares walk under them towards the reception as the guards does the same.

Blitz sighs in relief as they head out and straight to the courtyard. "Finally. Glad that's over." He said as he hears the whole room starting to head out.

"It's not over yet." Applejack says putting on her hat.

Blitz groans. "Yeah, that's right. We need to deal with too many ponies."

"We'll give you some breathing room when dealing with our families." Twilight says.

Blitz shakes his head. "Oh no, you girls are staying with me. I don't want to separate from you girls again after that whole fight. Besides, I may need you when talking to the families. Plus, we got a huge table set up for us." He said as they come out into the courtyard and finds a big party set up. "Nice decorations Pinkie and nice party."

"Thanks hun." Pinkie says smiling.

Blitz looks on as the party was in full swing and all of his wives were sitting by him. After a while, Luna finally came up to him or rather Twilight. "Princess Twilight?"

"Yes Luna?" Twilight asks.

Luna smiles a bit. "I know you haven't had a guard regimen for a while since you been a princess. But that was because I am in charge of new guards. And so, in the form of what you represent, here are your new guards." She said moving aside and showing a combination of solar, night, crystal and…is that changelings and griffons?

"Thank you." Twilight says smiling.

Blitz eyes the two out of place. "Since when did we get changelings on our side?"

Luna smirks. "Turns out all for peace with them is a strip and sex club. Can you believe it?"

Twilight raises an eyebrow at this. "And that is when I skewered it on my blade." A mandalorian says.

"Yes, the only time when the length of your sword was relevant to the conversation." Blitz jokes, causing the whole of the mandalorians to burst out laughing.

Twilight sighs and brings a hoof to her face. "You mean, we could have stopped the changeling invasion by only giving them a club?"

"That and keeping my sister who was humiliated out of the negotiations." Luna says smiling.

Twilight smiles as she turns to the guards. "So…what now?"

Luna sighs. "Well I sent a batch of guards to your castle and these are your personal ones. I'm also getting a few special guards to follow you along just in case."

Twilight looks a bit confused. "Special guards?"

Luna smirks. "That's a surprise."

"They aren't for breeding right?" Twilight whispers.

Now it's Luna's turn to look surprised. "Oh heck no…unless you want them. I'm sure I can find a few potent stallions for you." She said smirking.

"I have all I need right here." Twilight says looking to Blitz.

Luna giggles. "Be sure to keep him with you. You never know when you truly love him like never before and I'm not talking about in bed." She said before walking away.

"I plan on it. By the way, where is my brother?" Twilight asks.

Luna smiles as she looks back to her. "Getting something for you."

Twilight looks confused until she feels a tap on her shoulder and looks over to see Shining there. "Brother?"

Shining smiles. "Hey baby sis. Here." He said giving her a present wrapped in a box.

Twilight looks to the box and opens it to find a gem. "What's this for?"

Shining smiles as Celestia comes over. "Took me a while to find it. It's an image gem. Let's you see what the other one who has a connected gem is seeing. So basically they can talk to them across long distances. Maybe even where you're going." She said as she holds up her own gem.

"Oh brother." Twilight says hugging him.

Shining chuckles as he hugs her back. "Love you baby sis."

"Love you too." Twilight says as she hugged him and spied Blitz going with Mandalore out of the corner of her eye.

Blitz sighs as he looks around. "So what did you call me for?"

"Blitz, I have come to a decision. As of this moment, you are to form a new clan." Mandalore says.

Blitz looks surprised. "Wha…?"

Mandalore smiles. "Think of it as a wedding present. And I got two more. It's up in space. Want to come?"

"Um…sure Mandalore." Blitz says still in shock.

Mandalore nods. "Maybe you should bring your wives. This is going to involve them too."

Blitz looks to him. "Are we going now?"

Mandalore shakes his head. "No, when the party ends or when you and your wives are ready."

"As you wish Mandalore." Blitz says before walking back to the party to see the mares now socializing with other ponies. Blitz sighs as he sits down again. "So what did I miss?" He asks nopony in particular. The mares turns to him with many presents in hooves. "So I guess a lot." He said chuckling.

Blitz tries to close his eyes a bit as he traveled in a transport ship with all the mares, Mandalore and a few mandalorian soldiers, heading into space. "So what's this big surprise?" He asks after a while.

Mandalore smirks as he holds up his arm. "Minerva, you there?"

The Darkstar quickly flies right by them. "Rolling in hot."

Mandalore smiles. "Head to the front of the coordinates. The ones on the bridge will tell you how to dock. We'll head to the back."

"What the…" Blitz starts as he sees a new ship which looked like a frigate version of the Darkstar One.

Mandalore smirks as the transport heads inside and lands on the bay area. "Say hello to the MSS Darkline. Your new ship."

Blitz says nothing as Rainbow helps pick his jaw up off the floor.

"Wow." Shadow says.

Mandalore chuckles as he got up and headed out as the door opened. "Yep, it's wow to almost everyone. Come on, let me give you the grand tour." Mandalore says as the Darkstar One attached itself onto the hull of the MSS Darkline.

Mandalore smiles as he leads him out. "First, the third present. Your order for the mech finally came in and we decided to pick it up and arm it and fill it for you. It's over there." He said as he pointed to the mech at the side of the hold.

He then leads them inside. "Next up is the engineering and water systems." He said as they pass by some windows showing off the rooms on side. "The water system is connected to the greenhouse upstairs to keep is clean and the engineering is what you expect."

After they reach the end of the hall they get to an elevator. "Allowing you to travel to any level." He said as the elevator heads to the next level. After it opened the door it open to a few personal without armor walking through the halls. "Next up is the greenhouse as I mentioned." He said as they pass a window showing off a large amount of plants, making it look like a little forest. He then turns to the other side and they see a large table with countless lockers and walls of hangers and shelves full of weapons and ammo. "Weapons room. We're still working on filling it up to the max." He said as they kept walking. They soon reach another window a little ways away. "Here is the armor room. Where it is the same as the weapons room, having a testing and research room." He said a personal inside unloaded some armor from crates. He then turns to the other side. "Here is the main research lab." He said as they see a few personal setting up a few smaller equipment. "Here you can research almost everything else, from the ship to your own exploration, except for the weapons and armor. See those for that."

They then reach another elevator on the other side and head inside. "There are three main elevators and one emergency." He said as the elevator heads up again. After the door opens, they find barely anybody there. "This is mostly the social floor." He said as the walk again and look into one of the window and sees just a large table. "This is the meeting room. Comes with privacy tech and has a few guards when we're ready." They then look to the other side. "This is the tac room. Mostly to keep watch on little things and helps take over when the main situation room is out of commission." He said as they continue walking. "Next up is the bunk area for the personal and soldiers and we have a separate one for the guards that may come along for the trip and their personal." He said as they pass two doors on both sides. "Next up is the lounge area. Enjoy yourselves here." He said as Pinkie looked excited to be there. They then turn to see a large amount of tables and a cooking area. "Galley and mess hall. Until we finished going through the personal, we'll give you a true cook." He said as they enter the elevator on the other side.

They all waited as the elevator goes up again. "Now we reach the main area." He said as the door opens. They head out and look into the first room. "War room, showing you recent events and jobs available and if the need arises, serving a situation of war if you ever get involved in it." He said as they see mostly screens and news. They then turn to the other side and sees a lot of personal walking around with almost the same screens. "The main tac room, we're almost done connecting it to the bridge." He said as they walk forward and sees the same side as the big tac room with a hologram of the ship. He then turns to the other side. "And the med bay. After realizing how much you and others would need a doctor, we got a doctor who also specializes in equines as well. It would help if we had a doctor who knew the planet species well. She does knew how to give birth to babies, both human, alien species, but still maybe need help with your species."

He smirks as they continue walking forward and open the door at the end and reveal a bridge with a wide windows. Looking around, they can see the Darkstar above them, dock in position. "Why is the Darkstar above us?" Blitz asks.

Mandalore smiles. "Did you know you can control the ship and leave at any given notice? You can continue to dock the Darkstar here and the ship can be control from the bridge or the Darkstar's. These guys can handle the menial stuff while you do the big ones, like driving."

Blitz and the mares still look surprised as they then turn around and head to a side elevator they didn't see and another on the other side. "And now the sort of final floor. The other door was the entrance to the Darkstar airlock." He said as the door open and they find themselves in a circular room with many doors and one central pillar. "Your wives can sleep here when needed. We already got of the specs of the rooms from the Darkstar by Minerva. Though weird on some, it makes sense for some of your personalities." He said as he walks to the pillar in the large amount of doors they couldn't even count. "We prepared some readymade rooms just in case if you get more girls. And the now the best part of the ship." He said the central pillar opened up to reveal a large elevator.

They head inside and the elevator rides up to show a large circular bedroom with a circular desk opened in two places, a large bed, bigger than a king size, even a personal bathroom from a door they can see on one side and a large living room area. "Here's the best part." He said as they were all strewed about in the room, looking at everything and hits a control panel on the wall. They all looked around and soon sees the round dome ceiling open up and they can see the stars and planet in a 360 degree view. "Completely one way glass, bullet proof too. Whole place rises up when wanting a view and drops down into the ship when you don't or in battle. Have the privacy and protection and still enjoy the view. What do you think?"

"I think I'm in love all over again." Fleetfoot says.

Mandalore chuckles. "This is the captain's quarters, so you have fun with your mares in style. After this, I'm going to have a mission for you, but I'll let you enjoy your wedding night and the week ahead. So, what do you think Blitzkrieg?"

"It is a good ship for a clan to start out with." Blitz says confusing the mares.

"Clan to start out? What's this about a clan?" Twilight asks.

"I have decided to reward Blitzkrieg for all his years of service by giving him his own clan. I have also picked several Mandalorian to join his clan as well." Mandalore says.

Applejack looks a little worried. "Several Mandalorian? More wives?"

"No, clan members. They include engineers, warriors, and pilots." Mandalore says.

Blitz smiles a little. "Basically all of the personal on ship?"

"I see." Spitfire says laying on his back.

Blitz smiles. "So…anything else I should know about?"

Mandalore smiles. "Nope, just enjoy your wedding night. I'll see about getting the guards from the planet to this ship and help train them for space life."

"Thank you my lord." Blitz and Lightning says.

Blitz takes a deep breathe on his bed naked as he waited, knowing the mares were deciding who go first in the other room. Eventually, Twilight comes up in the elevator and steps in without her wedding outfit and wearing her usual outfit of a choker, flower and bow. "Hey Blitz. You okay?"

"Yeah, just a little nervous. So you girls decide who goes first?" Blitz asks.

Twilight smiles a bit. "Just one question, are you okay with more than one of us here?"

"Well I can try two at a time." Blitz says nervously.

Twilight smiles fully and messes with her omnitool and soon gets into bed with him. "Applejack and Fluttershy are coming in. We want to try groups of us here. But are you sure about this, doing this while some others are watching?"

"Not while they watch. I'm nervous enough already." Blitz says.

Twilight nuzzles him. "Then they'll be preparing themselves and cleaning us off, you okay with that?"

"Just do it in the other room, ok?" Blitz asks his face completely red now.

Twilight looks a bit worried and now moves to nuzzling his neck. "Oh Blitz, please don't afraid or mad with us."

"I'm nervous enough, ok?" Blitz says stroking her mane.

Twilight moans as she leans in more. "Don't worry, you lose the nervousness once we get into it. You'll love it soon."

"Ok Twi, it's our turn." Applejack says walking in with Fluttershy.

Twilight smiles as she turns to them. "Apparently he's really nervous about being watch. Can you girls get ready in the bathroom? I'll you when we're ready to let you come in."

"Alright, come on Fluttershy and no, we are going the traditional way for this. You can try your fetishes another night." Applejack says.

Fluttershy frowns. "Aww, I wanted something to really get me going." She said as she follows her.

"This is his first time." Applejack says.

Fluttershy smirks. "Not with messing with me."

Fluttershy's yelp is heard from the bathroom after the door closes. Blitz gulps as Twilight refocuses on him. "So, what do you want to do first?" She asks as she straddles him.

"You're first?" Blitz asks.

Twilight sighs. "Okay, we'll try this first. But you gotta mix things up with the others after this or you might get bored." She said as she kisses his neck.

"I…I meant are you first amongst the girls?" Blitz asks.

Twilight nods. "Yeah, I'm the alpha and Applejack is the beta of all of us. We all agreed to let me and Applejack go first then go in the order you got each of us." She said placing kisses on his neck as each second passed.

"Then before we continue, what is the order going to be?" Blitz asks, sneakily using his magic to grab the end of Twilight's tail without her notice.

Twilight smiles as she kept going. "After Fluttershy is Daring, Lightning is next, then the next group Spitfire, then Fleetfoot, Rainbow is up next, then the next group is Vinyl and Octavia with Rarity behind them. After that, Pinkie and Shadow. You okay with that?"

"Yeah, I should be able to manage." Blitz says before using his magic to yank at Twilight's tail.

"Yipe!" Twilight yelps as she stiffened up. "Bli…wha…"

Blitz then pulls Twilight onto himself before flipping over becoming the one on top. "Now guide me in on what to do." Blitz whispers into her ear.

Twilight gulps as she rubs at her choker. "O…okay."

Blitz looks to where she was rubbing. "You never took it off, didn't you?"

"No, because it reminds me of you, Prince Blitzkrieg." Twilight says before leaning forward and kissing him.

Blitz smiles as he opens his eyes and finds himself a bit alone in bed. "Oh boy." He said to himself as he got up. "Now where's my mares?"

"Here." A voice said as the door opened and Fluttershy walks in with a tray on her back. "Nice job dealing with all of us. You really changed us a lot more now. Though I doubt that we are pregnant yet. I think you need to do more and with a lot more fun."

"I see, at least I didn't black out and not do some of you girls." Blitz says getting up.

Fluttershy puts the tray on the table. "I got some of food from the mess hall. Something extravagant after they heard you finished with all of us."

"Are you on the menu?" Blitz jokes as he strokes her mane.

Fluttershy moans as he pets her. "If you want to. I'm really sweet and tasty however you want."

"Maybe later, for we have a lot to do." Blitz says before kissing her neck and starts eating.

Fluttershy sighs a bit. "Yes, Twilight is dealing with new guards who came onto the ship and showing them around. Want to meet her?"

"I got my own business to do like starting to install Minerva into the ship and then personally checking everything about it and memorizing it." Blitz says before lightly smacking her flank that was facing him.

Fluttershy yelps. "Master, didn't he tell you? There is already another A.I. in the ship."

"I checked and it is a run of the mill V.I. Those are too easy to hack and if they did, someone could take control of the ship and vent personal into space." Blitz says now rubbing where he smacked her.

Fluttershy moans. "Okay, Minerva still has the ship connected. She's ready for you."

"Like you are for round two?" Blitz jokes walking away.

Fluttershy moans. "Master."

"You mind checking on Terran for me love?" Blitz asks at the door.

Fluttershy nods as she bends done and shows herself while waving her tail, trying to get rid of the heat she's emitting. "Yes master. Anything else you need?"

"Just for you to be happy." Blitz says leaving.

Fluttershy moans as she tries to get back to normal. "Master."

Blitz sighs as he walks out of the elevator and heads across the hall and into the other one and heads up into the airlock. "Minerva, you there?" He asks as the airlock does a few things before opening to the Darkstar.

"Yes I'm here." Minerva says.

"Begin transferring to become the A.I. of the MSS Darkline." Blitz says.

Minerva smiles. "Transferring data, overwriting main systems and moving V.I. to non-essential systems. And…done. I'm integrated into the system. The V.I. has been moved to non-dangerous systems and locks it out so in case it has been hacked it won't spread to me."

"Good, so how do you like it?" Blitz asks.

Minerva suddenly jumps at him and hugs him. "I love it. Can I ask a favor?"

"You want to put her through its paces for your first opportunity." Blitz says with a knowing smile.

Minerva smiles and kisses him. "That and something else."

"Go on?" Blitz asks.

Minerva actually blushes on her mech. "I want you Blitz."

"You have had me for a long time." Blitz says.

Minerva shakes her head. "No, I mean I really want you."

"I thought it didn't need to be said, I was yours for a long time now." Blitz says.

Minerva shakes her head a lot. "Dang it Blitz, I want to you to take me."

"I can't, you don't have an organic body." Blitz says.

Minerva frowns before grabbing his hoof and throws him to the couch and jumps on top of him. "Blitz, I wanted you before all of this. And I want you Blitz." She said as he notices her starts to move back and forth on him. "I have the parts needed. I can't give you much, but at least I can give you this much. Please, can you take me?"

"Minerva." Blitz says holding her now.

"I want to be like you. I want to be like them, a true mare you can hold with love." Minerva says with sorrow.

Blitz sighs and brings her down before holding her. "How about later and I'll take care of you and then, you can truly be one of my mares, how does that sound?"

"Blitz." Minerva says looking at him. Blitz was sure if she could cry, she would be right now.

Blitz smiles as she starts to nuzzle him. "So, do you want to?"

Minerva smiles. "Yes, please."

Blitz sighs in relief as he held her, stroking her lose mane all the while. "Listen, I got to go deal with everything else. However for you, you got to go tell the other mares about this."

"Ok Blitzkrieg." Minerva says rubbing herself against him before getting up.

Blitz smiles as she shot up and heads for the door before he follows. "You ready for the best adventure with your favorite captain?" He said as they enter the elevator.

Minerva smiles. "How could I not? I already got my stallion now all I need is an adventure." She said as the elevator stopped on the main floor.

"I'll leave you to start inspecting the bridge. I'm going to inspect our new ship like I did with Darkstar One. Let me know when our new clan members arrive." Blitz says.

Minerva nods. "Sure thing, just watch yourself." She said as she steps out and lets him go down further to the bottom floor.

He soon ends up at bay eleven before stepping out and heading to the docking bay. "Twilight?" He calls out, trying to find her.

Twilight smiles as she turns away from the new group. "Over here." She calls out as she sees him, making him rush over.

Blitz sighs and gives her a nuzzle and then spots the new guards. "So these are the guards that will travel with us?"

Twilight nods. "Yep, we also got a personal cook, a doctor who also knows how to deal with pregnancy and foals and at least one of every allied species we have is with us as well." She said as she sees the duo of changelings, griffons, and a dragon. "The dragon came later. Celestia informed me he won't be bigger than he already is."

Blitz nods. "Great, I am doing a run around, getting use to this place. Want to come along?"

Twilight nods. "Sure, might as well show them around too so they can get use to this place. Oh, did you know, this ship is also Equestrian land."

"We mostly call this language basic as most speak it…which makes me wonder if it has some connection to the rest of the galaxy." Blitz says thinking it over.

Twilight shakes her head. "No, the Equestrian laws and culture is on the ship. This is basically Equestrian soil."

"I meant the language we are speaking Twilight. It is spoken by most of the galaxy." Blitz says.

Twilight looks a bit surprised. "Really? That's weird."

"We might want to look into it on Equestria." Blitz says.

Twilight shrugs. "I'll see what I can get about it. Now want to still walk with us?"

"I would, but I got to inspect the hyper drive to see if the trans-warp drive are working properly and if the subspace generator is running on full cylinders." Blitz says.

Twilight smiles. "At least take one of the engineers with you. Need to teach them."

"Does he know sub-war induscar quantum physics?" Blitz asks.

Twilight waves a hoof at the line of guards and one of them who looks absolutely confused steps forward. "He's tried to learn it in the barracks for the last three months. Tried."

"Oh boy." Blitz says.

Twilight sighs. "Yeah, Celestia is hoping that at least one of each learns each of the skills needed on the ship. She's hoping that at least the already placed personal could shadow them."

"It's no wonder he couldn't learn it. To understand it, you first much learn physics, then advanced engineering for ships, then the formulas for hyperspace jumps, only then does it start making sense. What he tried is like a unicorn who just started learning magic to try and move the sun or moon." Blitz explains.

Twilight sighs. "Well, he's a bit interested and hopes to at least figure this out. Think there is somepony there who could help?"

"We got some engineers coming to crew the ship, he will stay with them." Blitz says.

Twilight nods. "Good, everypony here is also staying on the ship as well. Now about that doctor?" She said as she waves over another pony, this time a mare. "I think she's the one Mandalorian needed for the current doctor, right?"

"When clans start out they usually have seven to ten doctors, but she can bunk with them as they teach her everything." Blitz says as he noticed the mare bow to him. "You told them I like to be informal, right?" Blitz asks.

Twilight smiles. "They were taught by Luna on most guard practices. Tell them yourself. Now then, our other one is the cook." She said as one of the griffons step forward. "He can cook anything, including for carnivores and herbivores."

"Oh, he will come in real handy." Blitz says.

Twilight nods. "Yep, then there is the armory for both weapons and armor." She said as two stallions step forward. "They became interested after you came into our lives. They kept looking at whatever records they can get on you before they were allowed access to the holonet and looked up almost everything there is."

"Ah, tell me, what is the most interesting weapon you two found?" Blitz asks.

One of the stallion shrugs. "Mostly the one particular weapon that is actually unlimited ammo, but the only drawback you have to watch out for is overheating. Especially when there is that one weapon that was reworked into the new style of weapons using clips and gained the power of it, but kept the unlimited ammo as part of the old designed."

The other stallion nods. "Yeah, and it's firing projectiles almost as fast as these things will go when traveling." He said while tapping a hoof on the floor.

"Alright, you two come with me. I'm going to inspect some of the armaments of the MSS Darkline later." Blitz says getting a smile from them.

Twilight smiles as well. "Great, I think that should be it. All the rest need to have guard posts. I'll take care of our room area, but you need to do everywhere else with some of the Mandalorian."

"Not right now Twilight." Blitz says.

Twilight nods. "I know, I meant later when you finish. Placing the guards around might take a while."

"That is fine, just steer clear of the hanger. We have yet to program friendlies into the basilisk war droids." Blitz says.

Twilight sighs. "You got it, now shouldn't you be going?"

"See you later Twilight." Blitz says leaving with the two guards.

Twilight waves at him as he leave before turning back to the guards. "Okay, let's begin the tour." She before walking and letting the guards follow.

"And this is one of our port defense guns. Either of you want to try a simulation on it?" Blitz asks.

The guards smile. "I'll give it a try." One said.

"Ok, just sit in the seat…" Blitz goes on to explain the controls. "You think you can do it?" Blitz asks.

The guards nods. "I can try."

"Ok, Minerva, can you hear me?" Blitz asks.

"Loud and clear honey, what do you need?" Minerva asks.

"Can you inform the nearby ships we will be going some target practice and prepare the skeets?" Blitz asks.

Minerva smiles. "Sure thing, I'll start the turret once ready."

"Wait till Minerva gives us the green light from the other ships." Blitz says.

The guard nods and waits as the ships in the view starts to move out of the way a little and soon the targeting system came on. "Ready." Blitz said as something came out of the side of the ship and aimed itself. "Minerva, hit it." Minerva smirks and launches a skeet which the guard then tries to fire at and miss it at least ten times.

"In space battles, you only get a few shots. Your turn." Blitz says looking at the other.

The guard groans as he gets out and the other takes his place. "Alight, launch." Minerva sends out a skeet which the guard promptly fires once before hitting it. "Um…what did you do before you joined the guards?" Blitz asks, an eyebrow raised.

The guard smiles. "Playing games."

"Minerva, tri formation launch." Blitz instructs.

The guard smirks as the launcher sends out three skeets in a triangle formation which the guard then fires and hits the one in the middle and then the other two in one motion. "Told you, games."

Blitz hums in thought. "What type of games?"

The guard chuckles. "Video games. We might not have the best types like these guys do, but I was the champion arcade player back in my day."

"I see, but you wasted energy with that. Minerva only supply enough power for three shots and relaunch, tri formation." Blitz instructs.

The guard breathes out carefully as he aimed a little ahead of the launch point and waited. For a few seconds nothing happened until the skeets came out again and the guard fires one and hits the middle. And then turns to left and fires and hits it before going to the last and sees it flying away. "Not bad, could use some…" The guard fires and everyone looks on, even in the other ships as the shot went through space and hits the skeet. Blitz chuckles a bit. "Not bad Sharp Shot." Blitz says.

The guard smiles a bit. "Thanks."

"I could have made that." The other one said.

Sharp chuckles. "No you can't. You're good in armor."

"Ah, you're the gunner and you are the pilot it would seem." Blitz says.

Sharp smiles. "Yeah, it's something like that."

"Ok, you two, let's go to the hanger." Blitz says.

The guards nods and follow him out as the turret shuts down and the launches heads back in. The guards keep following him until they end up back at the hangar. "So…what's here?"

"Lights on." Blitz commands and the lights turn on revealing fighters and ten green machines up against the wall. Blitz walks up to the green machines. "Minerva, activate the Basilisk I am looking at." Blitz says.

Minerva turns on the machine and they see it move a little. "What's that?" The other asks.

"That is a Basilisk war droid. One of the iconic mandalorian war machines and you are going to try and control it, Sharp Shot." Blitz says.

Sharp smiles. "Might be fun."

"It is also half way sentient, remember that." Blitz says as the Basilisk walks forward and Sharp tries to get into the seat after Blitz explains the controls of it to both of them.

Sharp looks at the controls before fiddling with the movement controls and makes it moves around. "Okay. There's that." He said before accidentally hitting the fire button when he moved his hoof and makes a blaster fire and hit a crate. "Sorry!" He said as the Basilisk starts to shake a bit. "Whoa, hey, calm down, calm down." He said to it and himself as the Basilisk became docile again. Sharp sighs before he is suddenly bucked from the seat and lands onto the crate.

"Ok, you are up." Blitz says looking at the other guard.

The stallion nods before slowly approaching the Basilisk and sits down in front of it. The Basilisk looks to him before he gets up again and gets on it and calmly going for the controls before sitting back again. "Forward." He said and the Basilisk moves forward.

"Nnarir va slanar urakto a narir va slanar pakod bat kaysh." Blitz says.

The stallion looked confused on what he said before the Basilisk tried to stop and he forces it forward a bit. "Easy now. Just need to try something." He said as he makes it turn to the wall. He then fires the blaster and hits the wall. "Good, that works." The Basilisk then starts running around as if it was rampaging swiping, kicking, and bucking without causing any real damage as the stallion hung on.

Blitz looks on curiosity as the stallion hangs on and doesn't seem to be letting go. "By any chance, are you related to the Apple family?" He asks as they pass by him and Sharp.

"No, but I was raised on a farm before joining the guards." The stallion said as he brought the Basilisk under control.

Sharp groans as he righted his leg. "He's good in this area."

"Right, that's enough Rough Rider." Blitz says as the Basilisk stops.

Rough nods and gets off the Basilisk and leads it over to where it originally was and moves back to him. "So how was that?"

"Very well, most end up like Sharp here." Blitz says.

Rough looks to him. "It's that tough?"

"Most think they are mindless vehicles and underestimate them like Sharp did." Blitz says.

Rough nods. "So what now?"

"Well I have decided on a more permanent role for you two." Blitz says.

They both look to each other. "And that is?" Sharp asks.

"You're a gunner and you've got the makings of a Basilisk rider." Blitz says.

The two look to each other in surprised. "So that's it?" Rough ask.

"You two will understand the extent of these positions soon enough." Blitz says as the droid walks back to where it was and Blitz exits the hanger.

Sharp sighs as he looks to Rough. "So, what do you want to do now, Rough?" He asks, saying his name a bit playfully.

"The prince is leaving and we have to follow him." Rough says.

Sharp groans slightly as they follow him. "Now you're no fun."

"You want to be lost for hours?" Rough asks.

Sharp smirks a bit. "Maybe with you. You're more fun than I expected."

"You two, we are heading to the bridge of our ship." Blitz says.

"Yes sir." They said before Sharp smirks a bit and when Blitz turns around, he gives a quickly nuzzle to Rough who moves away a bit in surprise. "Sharp, cut that out." Rough whispered harshly.

Sharp remained smirking as they head up and Blitz just sighs. 'I had to have at least a few guards and personnel who are like this.' He said as the elevator heads up and they reach the bridge. "So what are we doing here sir?" Rough asks.

"Attention, chief on deck." A voice says and they see a full crew manning the bridge get up and stand at attention.

"As you were." Blitz says.

Sharp and Rough look on as the crew went back to what they were doing. "Sir, what are we doing here?" Rough asks.

"Surveying the bridge and checking on the crew. Speaking of which, I want a status report when you can give me one." Blitz says to the crew.

One of the bipedal creatures walk over to him with a tablet. "All systems are green and ready to go. The only problem is we are still trying to fill our mags and cargo we need to the max. Then there is the fact we still need the personal from the planet ready to go." The female creature said as she eyes the guards.

"It's been awhile Meratan the fan." Blitz says looking at the Turian.

Meratan smiles. "Yes it has, been a while since you even commanded a squad, now you're commanding a whole ship and crew."

"Yeah, last time we seen each other was when we went and hunted down a Krayt dragon on Tatooine." Blitz says looking over the data pad.

Meratan nods. "Yes, sprites that was a good hunt and we got to keep the horns to boot. Find everything okay?"

"Well the hyper drive needs some adjusting to be at acceptable working order for me is all, by the way how's the kid?" Blitz asks.

Meratan smiles. "Going great as ever. He's starting school next year."

"Good to hear. So when are the rest of the Mandalorians arriving?" Blitz asks handing the pad back.

Meratan nods. "They are coming in within the month, but news have come out that you finished the honeymoon and Mandalore caught it. He sent over the mission you have to do. We can get the planet's guards and personal first and head out and we can meet the rest of the Mandalorians on the way." She said messing with the tablet. "Here's the mission." She said giving it to him. "This wasn't the first ship. There was a prototype of this ship that was sent out and never returned. Mandalore wants you to find it and figure out what happened after the last few messages we got were probe information on minerals in a star system."

"I see, we will leave in forty-eight hours, galactic standard time. During that time, I'm sure we will be sent more natives from the planet and I also have to do a royal wedding as well as I married a royal." Blitz says.

Meratan nods. "Of course sir. Anything else you need?"

"First Gunner and Basilisk rider in the making." Blitz says pointing to Sharp and Rough respectively.

"Really?" Meratan asks surprised.

"Yes, you know how critical I am on my judgments on such things." Blitz says.

Meratan sighs. "Okay, I'll see to it about getting their bunks and places sorted out. Also getting them more training on what their positions are."

"Good and finally, has Mandalore graced our new clan with a name?" Blitz asks.

Meratan smiles. "Blitzkrieg,"

"I see, clan Blitzkrieg, huh? Well let's prepare and start making a name for ourselves captain." Blitz says

Meratan nods. "You got it, but let's find that prototype first and then deal with everything. Now I believe one of your wives wants you."

"Which one specifically?" Blitz asks.

Meratan thinks for a few. "That yellow one with butterflies on its side."

"Fluttershy." Blitz says walking away. "Watch these two, ok?" Blitz says leaving.

Meratan smirks as she places her talon hand on her hips. "Okay boys, this where you go back to school." She said as she gives them some tablets. "And I can bet you're going to fail."

Blitz sighs as he entered the circular room and finds some of the guards placed in some places around the room and two at his elevator. He heads to Fluttershy's room and opens the door only to be pulled inside. "Oh shit." He said before the door closed, leaving the guards staring at where he was.

Fluttershy smiles as she turns the lights on and Blitz can see the many tools and equipment in the room. "Session time master. I really need you." She said as she wiggles her flank a bit.

"Very well, I did promise." Blitz says before hitting her inside the leg and making her kneel before him as he stood up before her. "Now I can really have some fun with a slut like you who wants to just be fucked and filled with all the things she could find. Even getting more stallions just to fuck with a slut like you." He said as he came out in front of her.

Fluttershy looks up and receives a hoof to her face. "Bitch! Did I say you could look up? Did I?!" Blitz yells as he grows bigger.

Fluttershy whines as she tries to keep her head down. "No mas…ah!" She yelled as she was pulled up by her mane and pressed against him.

"Lick it." He said as he moves it all over her face and even slapping it against her.

Fluttershy sticks out her tongue as it came close and then he shoves it into her mouth while moaning out loud as Fluttershy chokes on it. "Yes, take it slut." He breathes out. Fluttershy chokes as she tries to put her hooves on him to push away, but Blitz grabs her behind the head with his other hoof and pulls her down all the way as Fluttershy stops moving. "Yes." He hisses. Fluttershy keeps trying to swallow some air, but couldn't and eventually gives up on moving at all and just messes with what she can on him with her tongue as she looks at him with defeated eyes. "Yes, I like to see it fall away, but where's the fun when it's gone." He said before pulling himself out and then holds himself and starts slapping her in face hard with it. "You feel so soft slut." He said as he closes his eyes and keeps slapping her all over and covers her face in spittle and some precum before grabbing her mane hard and pulling her up and tossing her to her little dog bed and then mounting her.

Fluttershy moans as he pulls her tail hard. "Master. Abuse…eep!"

Blitz growls a bit as he makes her tail snap back. "I'm sorry, what was that?"

"M…m…m…" Fluttershy tried to speak until she felt something enter her.

Blitz moans as he presses her into the bed and tries to go deeper. "What were you saying, slut?"

Fluttershy whines as she feels him pull back before hitting her hard and pushing her forward. "Ma…master. Please st…ah!"

"You are a beautiful mare and all mine." Blitz whispers into her ear as he nibbles her now bat like ear.

Fluttershy still whines as she feels something warm going down her legs as she feels him keep thrusting into her. "Ma…ma…master, please stop." She said as she gets even wetter.

Blitz hits her hard in the back and in the head with his hoof. "Shut up slut. You're going to do what I want and when I want it, you got that?"

"M…yes, oh Celestia yes, just please keep going." Fluttershy says suddenly.

Blitz grins and starts thrusting as hard as he can and pulls her tail and mane hard as she screamed from the pain she felt. Blitz snorts before letting go and stopping completely, still inside her. Fluttershy tries to breathe and turns to look at her before Blitz pulls her head to him as he stands up with her and starts hitting her in the face. After a few hits, he hits her in the stomach and thrust a bit more at the same time before stopping completely and emptying himself in her. "How's that feel slut? You're going to take all the foals I have and you can't do anything about it." He asks as Fluttershy bleeds a little from her nose and has a few bruises.

"Amazing." Fluttershy says smiling.

Blitz smirks and resuming hitting her in the face and then let's go of her and continues to stand as Fluttershy fell and he subsequently pulls out of her as she fell, making him paint her back in his seed as he strokes himself a bit and moans. "Now then Fluttershy, if you feel like you're in heat, come to me and I will give my sword again right in there." Blitz says as he slaps his cock against her on her wings and flank and face before pushing it against her face and gives her one final hard slap and stopping and kissing her.

Fluttershy moans and breathes out at the same time as he got off the bed. "Master?"

"Love you my sexy little bat." Blitz says before leaving.

Fluttershy smiles as she finally curls up in the bed and falls asleep and Blitz steps out to where some of the guards were eyeing him and subtly inside. "She loves to take punishment while mating." Blitz says.

The guards snap back to their guarding positions as Blitz smiles as he walks away to the elevator, but then is pulled into another room. "Here we go…" He said before the door closes.

Twilight pulls him in and puts him against the wall before turning around and letting him do the pushing. "Hey." She said simply as Spike, who was in his little bed, tries to ignore that with his video games.

"Hey Spike, did you know this ship has a huge video game system in the third entertainment room?" Blitz asks freezing him.

Blitz and Twilight kept staring at each other as Spike grabbed some stuff and headed out so fast, the door didn't recognize him. "So, why you pulled me in?" Blitz asks.

"Because I wanted to spend some time with my prince." Twilight says touching their horns together.

Blitz breathes in carefully. "Okay, so just cuddle and hug each?"

Twilight nods. "Yeah, I figure you must be a bit tired after the time on our honeymoon time. So we figure of just doing it with you at a few days apart."

"Did you tell Fluttershy that?" Blitz asks stoking her mane.

Twilight moans. "Yeah and all the rest. We all agreed that we would take it easy on you after your long week run."

"She just had me do her." Blitz says leaning in on her.

Twilight smiles and nuzzles him. "We know. This place is soundproof, but not completely."

"You were listening in? You are such a bad mare." Blitz says sliding a hoof down to her flank.

Twilight moans. "Tell me, when we do it, what do you want me dressed as, the naughty schoolmare or the sexy librarian?"

"How about how you are right now?" Blitz says before kissing her.

Twilight falls into the kiss and hangs onto him as she kisses back. She hikes her legs up and puts it around his waist as he pushed her against the wall. After a while, he finally let's go. "Sexy librarian it is."

"If that is what you want." Blitz says carrying her to the bed.

Twilight sighs as she was placed down on the bed. "Not yet, just hold me."

"I planned on that." Blitz says joining her.

Twilight smiles as she nuzzles him and brings the covers around them a little. "You really changed me Blitz, all of us."

"Not as much as you girls have changed me. So you ready for the royal wedding?" Blitz asks.

Twilight sighs. "A bit afraid, but ready to go. You?"

"I have prepared for the boredom." Blitz says.

Twilight giggles. "Really, boredom? What do you got?" Blitz pulls out a pair of glasses and puts it on her and she saw a movie start to play. She then hits him over the head. "Really, you're going to watch this rather than me?"

"Remember the long boring ceremony were we won't even get to see each other." Blitz says.

Twilight takes the glasses off and stares at him. "So you want to watch this and when even when it's time you won't even notice me if I'm bending over and ready to mate and showing myself even in front of the princesses?"

"Oh no." Blitz says before touching the side and the movie only places it in the left lens.

Twilight raises an eyebrow. "Still feels like you're ignoring me."

"It goes off when you enter the room and I plan on having a repeat of our honeymoon afterwards." Blitz says pulling her close.

Twilight smiles. "What do you plan to do?"

"I think if we continue like I plan, you will be the first princess in a long time with a foal." Blitz whispers into her ear.

Twilight smiles as she moves a hoof down his side. "You'll take care of me, right, of all of us?"

"Of course I will. Now let's rest my princess." Blitz says.

Twilight sighs as she closes her eyes and rests against his chest. "You'll stay with me until I fall asleep, right?"

Blitz uses his magic to cover them both up. "I'll sleep here." Blitz says.

Twilight faintly smiles as she rubs his scarred chest. "Thanks Blitzy. Love us forever and never let us go?"

"I thought that was a give." Blitz says as Twilight fell asleep. "Good night my princess." He said kissing her head before following her.

Blitz smiles as he heads down the pathway and soon hears some groans and someone cheering in the rec room. Opening the door he finds a few personal and Spike playing a game and by the looks of it, Spike is winning. "What's going on?"

"Oh hey, looks like one of the love birds just got back from Canterlot." Spike says.

Blitz chuckles as he sits down onto the large theater couch. "Yeah, it was as expected, boring. So what's going on here?"

"Some of the Mandalorians are teaching me some card games." Spike says.

Blitz smiles. "Oh really, who's winning?"

A mandalorian looks at him. "We're getting beaten by a pint size dragon. This…is the worst day in history for the mandalorian honor. A baby dragon is beating us."

"No, the worse day is when you lost your armor Romacs and were forced to wear a female set and every male flirted with you." Blitz reminds.

Spike laughs as he puts his cards down. "That's funny and now, read them and weep boys." He said getting a full house and eliciting groans from the group and making them throw their cards on the table. Spike smiles as he watches the counter go up on his side before he realized something. "Wait, I don't have nowhere to place this."

"Have fun Spike." Blitz says getting a bottle out of the fridge before leaving. Spike waves at him as he keeps watching the counter before one of the group gives him a small wire system and shows as an omnitool. "Oh and be mindful of your credits." Blitz said as a final thought.

Blitz sighs as he heads up and goes to the news center and finds the mission still there. "Is all the personal and guards we need here on the ship?" He asks the crew there.

"Yes, like you thought chief, a few more griffons joined us and we will be leaving in twenty galactic hours." Meratan says.

Blitz nods. "Good, make sure we are completely stock and double check and the mechs and suits are ready to roll when needed."

"The engineers are checking and doing maintenance now." Meratan says.

Blitz nods. "And the ammo and weapons?"

"Double stocked and already inspected. Only thing left is for you to see to the purple mare of yours." Meratan says.

Blitz smiles. "Alright. I'm going to mess around with a mech and get a feel for it after I deal with my princess. Head out when time is up." He said walking away.

"Yes chief." Meratan says as Blitz leaves.

"Hey Twi." Blitz says entering.

Twilight hums happily to herself as she kept her back to him and swings her tail side to side. Blitz sits the bottle on the table sneaks up before lightly smacking her flank. Twilight yelps and quickly turns around and instantly becomes afraid as she backs away.

"Hey love, what are you up to?" Blitz asks.

Twilight still backs up until her hoof hits the bed and she fell over onto her back and exposed herself without knowing or maybe she did as she groans and tries to right herself.

"Hey what's wrong?" Blitz says picking her up and holding her.

Twilight pulls back and looks at him before slapping him. "Don't you recognize when I want something like this and a certain play style? You completely missed it."

"Ok, now I am completely confused and after I went and got us that drink you loved from the wedding." Blitz says.

Twilight frowns and poke his chest. "I wanted you to act like a rapist on me like I was still in my library. Hello, unsuspecting mare who wants it from her husband."

"Oh, you want me to play rough, huh? Ok, but first a drink." Blitz says.

Twilight sighs. "Fine."

"Then after that, I got to punish you for hitting me." Blitz says wiggling his eyebrows suggestively.

"Oh, then we best have a drink then." Twilight says grabbing the champagne bottle.

Blitz chuckles. "Yes we should." He said as they sit down on her bed.

A bit of drunken laughter was sounding out through Twilight's room. "So…so…he ate all the candy from the doctor's bowl and the doc didn't even bat an eye at it. I still think he's a pedophile because he 'knows baby ponies.' That's a line if I ever heard one." Twilight laughs out.

"Maybe, but you know what time it is now Twi?" Blitz asks.

Twilight giggles as she looks at the clock. "Three?" She tries.

"No…" Blitz starts before teleporting behind her and mounts her. "Time for this." Blitz whispers into her ear.

Twilight looks confused as she looks behind her. "Wha…?" Twilight asks before Blitz wordlessly enters her. "Ow!" She yells as she bends down and raises her flank while moving her tail out of the way. "Bli…sto…"

Blitz moves back and thrusts deep within her. "What was that?" Blitz asks moving back again.

Twilight moans as she starts to leave her mouth open. "Sto…stop. It hurts."

"Oh how about this?" Blitz asks before thrusting into her exposed vagina.

Twilight yelps out loud as she moans whorishly. "It…it…feels good."

"Good." Blitz says as he started rutting her. "Now before we come, tell me who you love." Blitz whispers into her ear.

Twilight whines. "I…don't…ow." She moans out as she was pushed forward.

"Say it." Blitz say messing with her breasts.

Twilight whines some more as she feels his hoof move around. "I…lo…lov…love Luna!"

"And?" Blitz asks.

Twilight moans. "I…ow…love…kill me. Please."

"Say it Twi, who do you love and who have you sworn your life too." Blitz says before nibbling on her ear and using his magic to twist her nipples a bit.

Twilight bites her lip and tries to look at him. "I love you…my Blitz. My prince. My potent prince."

"Good girl." Blitz says thrusting into her one last time before Twilight came and felt something warm enter her.

Twilight smiles a bit. "Blitz, don't leave me."

"I won't if you don't leave me for Luna." Blitz says.

Twilight giggles drunkenly. "Only if you bring her along. She did make the sky beautiful for us."

"Nah, I have all the princess I want right here." Blitz says holding her.

Twilight smiles and makes them tip over onto their side. "Really, even though I don't have a big flank or big teats?"

"You are perfect my princess of magic." Blitz says petting her.

Twilight sighs. "No, I'm the princess of friendship, magic is actually second."

"Could have fooled me. After all, that was magical." Blitz jokes.

Twilight rolls her eyes. "Oh Blitz. Just caress me."

"I will my love." Blitz says teleporting them both back onto the bed.

Twilight sighs in relief. "Blitz, the next time we do this. Let's really have some fun and you really rape me."

"We shall see, just give me some warning before hand." Blitz says letting go and starts maneuvering to where he was in front of Twilight.

Twilight smiles and kisses the side of his lip. "Thanks for this Blitz."

"No, thank you love." Blitz says rewrapping his hooves around her.

Twilight smiles as she nuzzles him. "Night Blitz."

"Night love." Blitz says covering them.

Twilight yawns as she starts to awaken. "Morning love, sleep well?" Blitz asks.

Twilight smiles as she sits up as Blitz was putting on his clothes. "Hey Blitz. You okay?"

"I'm fine, how are you, sore from last night?" Blitz asks putting on his chest armor.

Twilight smiles as she moves a little. "A little. Heading out now?" She asks as she keeps the covers from moving off of her completely.

"Not just yet, we have twelve more galactic hours. If you want to contact your family before we go, this might be your last chance for a while." Blitz says.

Twilight nods. "Okay, maybe I should tell the others and you?"

"I have called in a few favors to get help on the farm and we have three more joining us in six galactic hours." Blitz says.

Twilight smiles as she holds her blanket over her. "Blitz, thanks for coming into my life and really doing something to it."

"You mean besides making you say how much you love me every night?" Blitz jokes.

Twilight blushes as she looks away slightly. "Just always love and care for us."

"I will as long as you don't leave me for Luna." Blitz says.

Twilight now really blushes and then looks at him slightly. "Can you hold me for a bit?"

"Alright." Blitz says walking over and holds her.

Twilight sighs in relief as she leans into him. "Maybe you should marry Luna too." She said suddenly.

"I got all the mares I can handle, if not more than I can handle and besides, I got all the princess I need right here." Blitz says snuggling into her.

Twilight gives a small laugh. "I love you, my prince."

"I love you too my princess of magic and before you say anything to me, you are the princess of magic and not friendship." Blitz says.

Twilight rolls her eyes. "Oh Blitzy. You better get going. Maybe do a last minute checkup."

Blitz nods. "Yeah, also I think I should name you guardian for Spike's credit account since he might have too much at this point."

"What did he do?" Twilight asks.

Blitz smiles. "Just a precaution since he won such a large amount during a poker match with my own men who got beaten by a baby dragon. There goes that pride. I think he might win more so you need to be labeled as guardian if something goes wrong."

"Gotcha, I'll tell Spike this is his brother in law's decision." Twilight says getting out of bed and walking passed him, only to get lightly slapped on the flank.

Twilight yelps and then feels her tail being pulled and dragged backward. "Now Twilight, is that anyway to get away from your rapist?" Blitz asks with a slightly playful smile.

"Oh, you playful little…" Twilight started before tackling him and straddling him.

Blitz groans as he wiggles his hips under her. "I promise, next time I'm hungry, I'm coming after you and you're going to be mine forever."

"I already am." Twilight says before kissing him.

Blitz smirks as he kisses back before pushing her away. "Now who doesn't know when to take a hint?"

"You two going another round? If so, I want to join." Vinyl says in the corner drinking the half empty bottle of champagne.

They sigh and Twilight lets him up. Blitz groans as he gets up and goes to her. "Need blood?"

"No…" Vinyl vanished and took Twilight's place. "I want to spend time with my stallion." Vinyl finishes.

Blitz sighs. "Can you come with me? I got an idea."

"Ok." Vinyl says nuzzling him.

Blitz smiles a bit and hooks a leg around her. "You're still a good mare. Where's my thrall, by the way?"

"Octy is practicing on her cello and waiting for a few days to see if any signs of pregnancy shows." Vinyl says.

Blitz nods and pulls her along. "Okay, come on. Bye my princess."

"Technically my father was the king of vampires, so?" Vinyl asks.

Blitz shakes his head and takes her outside to an elevator before heading down. "Don't ruin it."

Vinyl smirks as she leans into him. "So where are we going?"

"Where does your vampire flank want to go?" Blitz asks before pulling her tail playfully.

Vinyl groans. "How about that new mech I'm hearing about? How about a test run?"

"Oh, princess of the night liking my toys?" Blitz asks.

Vinyl grins. "More than one in fact as long as you keep giving me that stallion meat."

"You are such a bad girl, should I spend the night 'punishing' you?" Blitz whispers into her ear.

Vinyl giggles. "Now who's the bad stallion?" She asks as the door opens at the bottom floor.

Blitz grins and pulls her tail before pulling her along the hangar bay. "Nope, just know what the mare wants."

"Oh, then let's get into the cockpit of the mech and have fun." Vinyl says.

Blitz smiles. "That's what I'm planning to do." He said as they stop at the new mech. "Now that is definitely cool."

"Yeah, the Basilisk is cool, but too much space." Blitz says dragging her to the PTX.

Vinyl smiles as Blitz heads inside and she sits on his lap. "Alright, I heard this thing goes into space. So let's hit it."

"I thought you wanted me to hit you." Blitz says as he nibbles on her neck.

Vinyl moans as the hatch closes again. "Ready." She heard the mech. "Initializing." She then feels Blitz lick her neck and bite it a little before nibbling again as the mech started up. "You can do that in here. More than enough room. Make it like you're killing me in here."

"Let's see if you can handle this." Blitz says putting the glove system on.

Vinyl hangs on as Blitz moves the mech out and lines it up with the hanger door. "All right boys, open it up." He said before the hanger door opens and Vinyl can see an electrical shield over it. "Hold on tight." He said before Vinyl feels the mech bend down a little and those outside can sees the cylinder pack on its back get longer and spin before making a long bar, its wings change position and then it moves forward and then jumps up a little before it changes its legs into boosters and then head outside. Vinyl watches in surprise as the mech moves out and soon stays in place before the mech curls up a little and then the mech changes shape to be more bipedal shape. She then watches as the weapons on its arms light up and grow longer to be like purple swords before Blitz tests it out and swings it around to get the feel for it before it deactivates.

Blitz smirks as the mech settles down a little. "So, how was that?"

"It's just missing one thing." Vinyl says.

Blitz looks curiously to her. "What's that?"

"Make me moan as you pierce me and fill me up." Vinyl says seductively.

Blitz smiles as he leans back as the mech fly automatically around the space around the empty space area except for the Darkline. "Really now? Well I want you to do something."

"And that is?" Vinyl asks.

Blitz nods. "This." He said simply before slapping her face and sending rolling over in the semi-large cockpit. "Get up." He said grabbing her mane and pulling her head to him before placing her head on his lap. "You know the drill."

"Oh yes, I am starving for it." Vinyl says flashing her fangs.

Blitz frowns a little before hitting her in the side of the head and then slamming it into the seat. "No, no fangs until I say so." He said placing her back on his crotch.

"Oh darn things, they always come out when I'm excited." Vinyl says.

Blitz hits her head again. "Shut up and get to work. You're just here to please me."

Vinyl frowns a little before moving to his growing self and starts to lick at the tip as Blitz groans. "That's it. You like this sort of thing don't you? Being used and raped?"

Vinyl smacks him. "Snap out of the spell Fluttershy placed you under." Vinyl says looking at him with her red eyes.

Blitz smiles. "Didn't you say that you're mine and I can do whatever I want to you and you have to follow?"

"And broken." Vinyl says as Blitz starts feeling woozy.

"What happened?" Blitz asks.

"Fluttershy put a spell on you to where you slightly abuse your mares." Vinyl says now straddling him.

Blitz sighs as he leans back. "Well thanks for that. You okay?"

"I'm fine, but now it's time to continue." Vinyl says sticking him inside herself.

Blitz groans as he grabs her hips. "Geez, you mares are still tight. Makes me want to really go at you."

"Good my stallion, show me what you can do." Vinyl says.

Blitz grins at her before pulling her to himself and hugging her before placing a hoof on her flank and starts to move it up and down. "You like this?" He groans out.

"Yes, keep going, we are just starting." Vinyl says her smile growing.

Blitz groans out more as he keeps making her jump and then using his hoof to send her down hard. "I need something else from you." He groans out.

"Oh right." Vinyl says bringing her fangs and bite his neck.

Blitz opens his mouth in a silent scream as he slaps her flank while keeping her going as she drank his blood. "Mmmm…you sure know how to treat a stallion." He said before he keeps slapping her flank with every rise, making it fall down again.

"Yes, yes, yes, finish me." Vinyl says after a few minutes.

Blitz was close to blacking out from the loss of blood he gave her before making him move his hooves under her legs and then making her rise up and slamming her down hard and does it a few times before stopping and groaning out.

"Don't stop, let me have all of it." Vinyl says drunk on the moment.

Blitz breathes out hard as he gains tunnel vision and sees Vinyl trying to bring him back as he filled her as his tool softens up. "Vinyl, I'm out right now. You can try though." He weakly said.

"You did great." Vinyl says leaning against him.

Blitz smiles as he wraps a hoof against her. "So, you think you're pregnant now?"

"Too out of it to check, you mind getting us back in the ship?" Vinyl asks.

Blitz sighs as he looks down to them. "How about one more, you think you're up for it?"

"Give me a few moments and this time in your bed as I think my horn kept hitting something." Vinyl says.

Blitz rubs her wet flank as he looks up. "You kept hitting the lever. Don't worry, it's already against the ceiling."

"Yeah, still disorients me and I want to drag Tavi out so we can have another threesome." Vinyl says licking where she bit him.

Blitz smiles. "What, you don't want to take the chair while I plow you to pieces?"

"I like to mix things up." Vinyl says leaning against his shoulder.

Blitz chuckles. "So no to the switch?"

"No to you changing my mind." Vinyl says grabbing her floating glasses.

Blitz sighs. "And here I wanted to see all of you during that shag, but if you want." He said as he programs the mech to head in.

"Good boy, I will make it worth your while." Vinyl says.

Blitz smiles. "You better, slut."

"Anything else call me that and I would tear them in half." Vinyl says wrapping her tail with his.

Blitz sighs in relief. "Good. And thanks for getting me out of that spell. I think I took Twilight sort of the same way too."

"Oh no, she is just on a bit of a sexual drive, but not in heat." Vinyl says.

Blitz sighs as he sat on his bed and drank some water after dealing with the two lusty vampires. "Geez, anymore slutty and they could become succubuses." He said to himself as he looks to the mares sleeping on each other after they fallen asleep after he pulled out of them. Blitz smiles as he pets both of them. "But I guess I shouldn't complain."

"You can have a succubus if you want." Vinyl said as she opens her eyes. "It seems your sex drive is far more than even a vampires."

"Nah, just my physical conditioning allows me to keep going. So Octy, you looking forward to it?" Blitz asks.

Octavia groans a little as she lifts her head off of Vinyl's chest. "What about?"

"Vinyl tells me you are really watching for any signs." Blitz says.

Octavia sighs. "Yes, I really want a foal in my life. But there's nothing yet. And Vinyl is right, you can have a succubus if you want to keep you company for anything you want."

"Why would I want that when I have you mares and Octy, it takes more than a few days for signs to appear." Blitz says encouraging.

Vinyl grins. "What if we aren't here at all? All of us."

"Then I will wait." Blitz says bring both closer by hooking his hooves around them.

Vinyl and Octavia smile a little until Vinyl sighs. "Blitz, it'll be fine. Did you know there are more of me?" She asks as she licks his neck.

"Elaborate please." Blitz says.

Vinyl pulls back and smiles. "My dad was worried. So he went into another dimension and pulled another me into ours and used her to keep the bad stallions away from me and that means all of them. The one he pulled was a succubus that he ordered to kill the stallions after they had fun. I'm still in contact with her and I can give her to you when I'm gone and it'll be like I'm never gone. I'll tell her to listen to you and do anything you say while also making sure you're safe."

"Nah, I want my Vinyl." Blitz says.

Vinyl shakes her head. "Not a request. I could be gone or asleep for a long time. You're going to also need me to keep up appearances. I'm getting her here."

"As a body double, fine, but not as my girl." Blitz says.

Vinyl frowns. "Blitz, just do it for me, please?"

"I'm not doing her. I shared a vow with you, not her." Blitz says touching Vinyl a bit.

Vinyl moans. "Blitz, she's me. She's an alternate version of myself and so has experienced something similar to us. Sometimes very similar. I'm getting her and you can have two of us. Please, I won't be mad or feel like you're betraying me?"

"B…are you asking me from the bottom of your heart?" Blitz asks.

Vinyl look a little down. "If I bring her here and she sees me with you and she's not in, she'll start to not trust us. I want her in with us. It's only right."

"Very well, but no more additions." Blitz says.

The mares smiles. "Thanks Blitz, but you don't want any more mares in your life?" Octavia asks.

"I have all the mares I could want already." Blitz says rubbing Octavia's sore flank.

Octavia moans as she pushes her flanks against his hoof. "Oh master." She moans out as her tail rises out of the way.

"Octy, when it is with me?" Blitz asks.

Octavia moans. "Sorry…mhhhh…Blitz."

"That's better my musician." Blitz says before kissing her.

Octavia falls into the kiss before pulling away. "Isn't it almost time to head out?"

"Three more galactic hours and we have one last batch of recruits coming from the planet before we leave." Blitz says.

Vinyl smiles. "Great, so what are we heading to first?"

"We got a mission from Mandalore himself. This ship is not the first one we made with the prototype technology from the Darkstar One. We are to search the area of space it disappeared in." Blitz said.

Vinyl grins. "Cool. A disappeared ship. Hey, you think if we find it, it would be full of aliens that killed the crew and they would hunt us down like a parasite?"

"Or maybe a black hole or they stupidly crashed the ship." Blitz says.

Vinyl giggles. "Or maybe the first one."

Blitz sighs and lets them go. "I have to go and deal with the last important checks. You and other girls better grab a meal. It might take a while."

"Ok, see you soon." Vinyl says as she waves as he leaves.

Blitz sighs as he heads down and ends up at the social floor and finds almost everybody there eating or relaxing. He then sees a large group in the rec room. Heading inside he finds them crowded around a computer. "What's going on?" He asks standing behind them.

"Commander on deck!" One yells and they all stand at attention.

Blitz waves them off. "At ease. What's going on?"

One of the crew jerks his thumb to the computer. "This baby dragon is playing XCOM on a semi hard difficulty and boy he's good."

"Watch that wall, they like to jump down, also, good job at keeping them all alive so far despite the constantly spawning Chryssalids." One said who was nearby Spike.

Spike pushes his hand away. "Back off, I'm trying to think there."

Blitz chuckles. "Maybe I should give Spike the position of tactical commander."

"This is the Chryssalids' hive mission." One of them says.

Blitz hisses. "Oh, where is he now?"

"Running from the airstrike."

Blitz moves over and sees the squad halfway across the map. "How many turns left before the strike buddy?" Blitz asks Spike.

"Four."

"Run Spike, you won't make it otherwise." Blitz advises.

Spike frowns. "Why do you think I'm rushing this whole thing?" He said as he moves all the guys down and the enemy moves up and fires on him. "Dang it. Okay, one hit each, that's good for me." He said as he rushes them all the way down again.

Blitz looks confused. "How did you get one hit each, those guys should be taking a lot more?"

Spike smiles a bit. "Never advance the story."

"You have learnt well." Blitz says.

Spike waves him off as he's one turn away and one last rush. "Nah, it kinda made sense. Since the story and enemy won't change much until I advance the research, it only made sense to get everything else first and then advance and then work on the extra and do the same." He said as he placed them all in the safe zone. "Yes!"

"You know what those things are doing when they kill someone?" Blitz asks.

Spike looks to him and shakes his head. "Not really, what's that?"

"They are impregnating their victims, leave the zombies alive long enough and they will burst open and show a new white one of those things." Blitz says.

Spike tilts his head. "Really?"

"Yes." Blitz says.

"That is disgusting, even to me." The changeling guard said next to him.

Spike shrugs. "Too much games, seen it all. Like that one game where this doctor took out a brain from a guy's head while he was alive and after he took out his eyes. Creepy, but I've read The Darkness and even more gory. I've seen a lot."

"Well get used to it, you are going to see some strange things in the galaxy especially since we are going into unknown space soon." Blitz says.

Spike nods. "I'll try, but it's starting to get like nothing can phase me." He said turning back to the game and messes around the base. "Still cool what you guys can do though."

"Mandalorians, the rest of the clan will arrive in less than an hour. I want all personnel who are not on duty in armor in the hanger to greet them." Blitz says.

The Mandalorians salute. "Sir." They said before running off and leaves the non-Mandalorians.

"You all are free to do what you want for now." Blitz says.

The guards nods as they continue to watch Spike. "By the way, how did you get permission to get that? That game requires an age rating." Blitz asks looking back at him.

"Lie." Spike said.

"Gotcha." Blitz says walking away.

Blitz sighs as he heads into the mess hall. "Toss me an apple here." He calls to the chefs. One of the chefs toss him one as they continue working. "The food ready for the last batch of clansmen?" Blitz asks eating it.

The griffon looks to him. "Yes sir. We're stock up on Equestrian food and drinks and then there are the regular meals these guys eat." He said jerking a thumb to the human chefs.

"I think your's and the humans species will get along well." Blitz says.

The griffon chuckles. "I think we will since we are somewhat similar. Still have to get over the fact we can eat raw."

"Well just remember, you both have can have a lot of pride." Blitz says

The griffon smile. "You got that right. We are both too proud when we do things."

"Then again, most species can say that." Blitz says as he sees one of the Mandalorans start to prepare a chicken.

The griffon shrug. "Well, we have it or don't really care since we might have something more important, like I don't know, love ones."

"So what do you think of that?" Blitz asks gesturing to the Nexu head stuffed and mounted over the door.

The griffon just looks at it. "Something to look back on your own, not something to show off, but to know you beat it."

"That is the head of the creature of the second Equestrian to ever succeed at the Mandalorian Bloodying ritual." Blitz says.

The griffon raises an eyebrow. "Huh, well still a sign sometimes for others. All I want to do is cook."

"By the way, has Terran been by and caused trouble yet?" Blitz asks.

The griffon raises an eyebrow and turns to the other chef. "Hey, has that dog thing been by here?"

"Yeah, had to activate the emergency shield separating us in here from the eating area just to keep him from stealing the food." The human chef said.

The griffon looks back to Blitz. "There it is. Anything else you need?"

"Nothing really, just remember we are leaving soon, so latch it down." Blitz says.

They nod. "You got it chief." The griffon said getting back to preparing some food.

Blitz nods before heading to the hangar where he sees more than a few Wonderbolts and Shadowbolts? "Um…what's going on here, beside all of you watching and taking turns on the fighter simulator." Blitz says.

Spitfire suddenly lands on his back. "Simple, we took a few Wonderbolts and Shadowbolts since they listen to me and Shadow."

"So what about the team staying?" Blitz asks.

Spitfire looks back to the planet below. "Leaving them on the planet, keep doing the shows. We just left a message saying we are going on tour to further than ever."

"And Soarin?" Blitz asks.

"I threatened to tear his most prized thing off, reveal to the entire world he was gay, and somehow find a spell and a unicorn to cast it and turn him into a mare." Spitfire whispered into his ear.

Blitz grins. "Nice, but what about his love life? Won't he lose everything and start to get depressed if you keep him away?"

"Oh, he knows how to balance it." Spitfire says before starting to paw at his ear with her hoof like a cat would do.

Blitz nods as he lets her continue. "Okay, just don't make me find him crying alone in his bunk."

"He is watching the team at our home." Spitfire says.

Blitz smiles. "Good, it's one thing to stop them, it's another to actually make them stop just because."

"Don't worry, he is sharing command to make sure he doesn't go crazy with his command." Spitfire says.

Blitz sighs. "Good, maybe he might understand the balance between leisure time and work."

"That threat I gave him doesn't have a time limit either." Spitfire says before biting his ear softly.

Blitz smiles. "You hungry or want to wait because we are about to head out?"

Spitfire stops biting for a second. "No, not yet. It might be more fun to wait."

"Hey, I want in on that." Fleetfoot says now leaning against his side.

Blitz smiles. "In a bit girls. Maybe until we start traveling."

"Can I get in on that?" Shadow asks leaning on his other side.

Blitz sweatdrops a bit. "Maybe pushing it at three girls."

"Oh yeah." Rainbow yells triumphant as she cleared the scenario.

They all look over to her and see her score pop up over her. "Huh, she's close to me." Blitz said as he read the score.

"Yeah, she has been on that thing nonstop since she found it." Fleetfoot says.

"Well the score is more than a decade old now." Blitz says.

They look surprised at him. "How did you get that score on this when this place is just built a few months ago?" Spitfire asks.

"It was in the database from when we trained to be Mandalorians. My score was not the highest, only in the top thirty." Blitz says.

They look surprised even more. "Really, then where is she?" Shadow asks.

"Judging from the score, somewhere in the fifties of the group I trained with." Blitz says.

Fleetfoot smiles. "Really? So she's close?"

"In my group, but I know that the group never came close to some of the highest scores." Blitz says.

Spitfire smiles. "Oh, is she going to be mad."

"Doubtful, she is only started to learn how to fly a fighter and personally I prefer my custom Viking over there." Blitz says.

Shadow giggles. "When are you going to take us for a ride?"

"Sorry, it was only made for one pilot and because of its transformation, shifting everything around, you can literally be crushed to death during that." Blitz says.

The mares wince at that. Shadow hits him. "I meant us, you know, bed. Don't you get sexual innuendos?"

"Half and half. I'm also still recovering my energy. Vinyl made me go two rounds and the second one she brought in Octavia." Blitz whispers into Shadow's ear, barely loud enough for Spitfire and Fleetfoot to hear.

Shadow looks to his neck. "She didn't…?"

"She can't turn me into a vampire and she gave Octavia specific instructions that she can never bite me and turning me into one." Blitz whispered.

Shadow keeps looking at the bite mark. "But what about…?"

"It's only because she is thirsty." Blitz says.

Shadow grows worried. "But doesn't it mean she will always drink your blood?"

"No, she can go years without blood." Blitz says.

Spitfire plays with his ears again. "So we are not going to find you on the ground and tired out?"

"You understate my stamina." Blitz says.

Spitfire bites onto his ear and pulls it a bit. "Then how about this?"

"Still trying at foreplay Spitfire?" Blitz asks.

Spitfire licks his ear. "If you want."

"Oh that's cute Spitfire, still trying to foreplay." Shadow says.

Fleetfoot grins. "Maybe she should ask Soarin since he ran a sex club for every mare who wants it and for some reason did gangbangs."

"Ok, you two, that's enough. The last trip of the transport to the planet is returning so get your teams clear of the landing area." Blitz says.

Shadow smiles and grabs his head before kissing him and then let's go and turns around to head out. She then looks back and winks at him before continuing on. Fleetfoot smiles and nuzzles his neck before following her and Spitfire gives one last hard bite before getting off and following them. The next thing Blitz heard was Shadow and Spitfire go full commander mode on their respected teams.

Blitz sighs as he looks around and waits as the transport made its approach. He then looks to a nearby terminal area and looks to the crew there. "Hey, what's the last crew on this?" Blitz asks.

"These are local, the last of the Mandalorians arrive in an hour." The crew member said as the door opens on the transport.

Blitz nods and some guards come out and then he sees some shadowy figures run through their legs before going around the transport. "Intruders! Around the transport!" Blitz yells.

Everyone on the deck immediately grabs their weapons and surround the transport as it shuts down and soon cries rang out and three figures jump onto Blitz for protection. "You three?!" Blitz asks angrily.

The CMC cower a bit before getting off of him and running off. "Hey! I'm not done with you!" Blitz said running after them. "Come back here you!" Blitz yells.

Twilight was watching Spike as he played with Applejack as they watch him play the alien versus humanity game. "So this is all turn based?" Twilight asks. Spike nods as he moves a few guys over and shoots a few of the enemy. "Looks tough." Applejack said.

Spike was about to pause and turn to her before they hear crashing and look into the hallway and sees three fillies running down the hall and an angry Blitz running after them. "Was that Applebloom, Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo?" Twilight asks.

"Yep, seems like you girls' plan to have them come along worked." Spike says.

Twilight turns to Applejack. "Should we stop him before he sends them back?"

"I got you." Blitz yells before dragging them into the room. "Now, what have I said about these shenanigans?" Blitz asks.

"Don't get caught." The three say in unison.

"Correct." Blitz says now smiling at them.

The three fillies look to him in confusion. "What?" They asks.

"That is exactly what you are supposed to do." Blitz says patting their heads.

The three look confused to each other. "So…we can stay?" Applebloom asks.

"You managed to sneak aboard and we locked down the transport for our trip. There is no way to send you back at this point." Blitz says.

The three looks to each other before getting up. "So, we can really stay, even with all the danger?" Sweetie Belle asks.

"I have no choice on the matter either way." Blitz says as Applejack came up behind Applebloom and messed with her hat.

Applejack smirks. "Hey there little sis. So you finally did it, huh?"

"Yep and I'm keeping the hat that cuz got me." Applebloom says.

Applejack chuckles. "Okay, now you're staying with me and the rest of you are staying with your big sis."

"But aren't all of ya sleeping in cuz's room?" Applebloom asks.

Applejack bonks her head. "We still have our own rooms. Now then, this changeling here will lead you there." She said pointing to a nearby changeling who looked a bit confused.

"Actually, I heard Rainbow is bunking with some of the other Wonderbolts." Blitz says.

Applejack smiles a bit. "So you want them to bunk with her?"

"I was thinking she gets a choice." Blitz says.

Applejack looks to them. "So what do you want you three?"

"Dash." Scootaloo says.

"Sister." Sweetie Belle says.

Applejack hugs Applebloom. "Guess you're staying with me."

Blitz smiles. "Okay, try not to break anything."

"And we get punished, we know." The CMC say.

Blitz and Applejack look to each other. "Nope." Applejack said.

Blitz smiles. "Your 'punishment' however is staying with Spike and keeping him company."

"Hey, why am I being punished?" Spike asks.

Blitz smirks. "Because you can let them join and play with you." Before Spike could respond. "Well Applejack, you mind giving them a tour. I got to go meet the last of the clan arriving." Blitz says. Applejack nods and leads them off to give them a tour with the confused changeling following.

"Yeash, can it get anymore…" Blitz was cut off when Octavia walked in.

"Blitz, can I talk with you?" Octavia asks.

Blitz groans, surprising Octavia. "Fine. Let's go. What do you want to talk about?" He said walking with her. Octavia stops and hugs him and sobs into his shoulder. "What's wrong?" He asks holding her.

"Nothing, I'm just so happy." Octavia says.

Blitz turns to her. "You mean…?" He asks moving a hoof to her stomach.

"I use my vampiric powers to check." Octavia says sobbing happily.

Blitz slowly smiles as he hugs her tightly. "I'm so glad for you." He whispered.

Octavia nuzzles him. "I am, but you should be too because it's yours too."

Blitz nuzzles her back. "I am. Thanks for being with me."

"No, thank you for giving me a foal." Octavia says

Blitz sighs. "Why don't you give the others the good news? I'll always be here for you."

"It's only the first stage, I will tell them later." Octavia says.

Blitz pulls back a bit. "You worried about losing it early?"

"No, I'm going to start playing classical for the foal." Octavia says.

Blitz smiles. "Oh Octy, what are we going to do without you?"

"Be tasteless a lot, like Vinyl." Octavia says.

Blitz chuckles. "Now you're being mean to your master. Thank goodness she isn't here for that."

Octavia smiles. "Oh yes she isn't, but I'm glad you're here. Now any ideas for names and any suggestions for classical?" Octavia asks.

Blitz sighs. "Not really, let's wait. And in few days I want you in my room so we can talk."

Octavia nods. "Sure, one last kiss?"

Blitz smiles and kisses her before letting go. "Go on and get. Get our foal some music."

"Yes, I will." Octavia says.

Blitz kisses her one last time and lets her go. He smirks as she walks and he moves a hoof over her back and flank. "Still sexy." He said to her.

"You know it." Octavia says flashing her fangs for a second.

Blitz sighs. "Want a drink before you go?"

"No drinks for me for a good while." Octavia says.

Blitz nods and waves her off. "Alright, get out there. The foal will be waiting for us soon."

"Yeah, yeah." Octavia says disappearing.

Blitz smiles as then walks away and is then suddenly passed by with three fillies who looked extremely bored. "Um…" He looks past them to see Applejack looking slightly disappointed. "What happened?"

Applejack sighs. "They felt that everything was the same once they seen it all. Now…" She looks over to the fillies watching Spike playing and even getting on his head to see. "At least they are loving that part and can be distracted if need be."

Blitz nods. "I've been meaning to ask, does those fillies have any close colts?"

"Not that I know of." Applejack says.

"By the way Jackie, I want to talk to you in private." Blitz says.

Applejack nods. "Sure, when?"

"Now and bring Twi." Blitz whispers.

Applejack sighs. "Sure, just give me time to find her. Where, your room?"

"No, yours." Blitz says.

Applejack nods and walks off. "I'll try to be there in a few minutes."

Blitz nods and wordlessly goes onto the Darkstar One and into Applejack's room. After waiting for a bit does Applejack and Twilight come in. "So what do you want to talk about?" Twilight asks.

"You remember what I told about Octavia being barren before she became a vampire and her greatest wish was to have a foal?" Blitz asks.

They look surprised. "She actually got pregnant?" Applejack asks.

"Well she is in the first stage and the only reason she knows is because she used her vampire powers." Blitz said.

Twilight and Applejack smile. "That's good, right?" Twilight asks.

"Yeah, so watch out for her." Blitz says.

Twilight and Applejack suddenly hug him. "Oh Blitz, looks like the family is getting bigger." Applejack said.

"I know and yes Jackie, we will try to have you in that way next." Blitz jokes.

Applejack just hits his head as Twilight giggles.

"I didn't hear a no." Blitz says.

Applejack sighs. "Yes I want it, but maybe a little bit longer. I want to see how this life goes."

"I'm thinking Apple Jackie for a foal." Blitz jokes.

Applejack groans. "Blitz, just calm down because I'm choosing the date."

"I was joking Jackie." Blitz says smiling.

Applejack frowns. "Well don't do that, otherwise I may not give me to you at all."

Blitz smirks and grabs her and places her on his lap backwards while nuzzling her. "You were saying?"

"No comment." Applejack says after a while.

Blitz smiles and lets her go. "Why don't you head out now? We are about to head out."

"Yeah." Applejack says getting up and grabs Twilight.

Blitz playfully frowns. "Aw, you're taking my other entertainment away?"

Twilight smiles as Applejack huffs. "Aw come on Applejack, you gotta admit he's kinda its fun being around him."

Applejack just blows some hair out of her view. "Shut it. It's time to get out of here." She said heading out with her.

"See you later tonight Jackie." Blitz says.

Applejack sighs and looks back to him. "Not yet, but I'm coming to spend the night with you."

Blitz nods. "Sure thing. I might have another mare there, but she just wants to talk. Don't worry, I don't forget my mares."

"I know that." Applejack says.

Blitz smiles and leaves after they left and heads to the cockpit of the Darkstar and waits. "Minerva, you here?"

"Yes, love." A hologram of her appeared.

Blitz looks up to her. "Where's the body?"

"Hooked into the Darkline." Minerva says.

Blitz nods. "Okay, can you sit with me for a second?"

"It's charging, but I have an idea." Minerva says as a helmet drops down in the cockpit.

Blitz looks slightly confused. "What's this?"

"You forget your virtual reality helmet?" Minerva asks.

"Oh yeah. Those were the days of my video games and before our holodeck." Blitz says putting it on.

Minerva smiles. "Hang on." She said as she sets up a private spot and turns on the machine. "Go for it."

Blitz smiles. "Link start." He said before the helmet activates and he fell into the vision coming at him of many colorful lines and then he opens his eyes to find himself in a sort of circular room with screens floating by in a circle and just white all around except for the ground of which there is a black disk. "Minerva, I'm here." Blitz got no answer. "Don't make me play light cycle to see you." Blitz says.

"You're no fun." Minerva said behind him before hugging him and placing her head on his neck. "What do you think?"

"You somehow managed to make us feel each other." Blitz says.

Minerva smiles and turns him around to see her in full digital see through body with lines of code running through her. "Wow, this is amazing." He said before hugging her. "You're amazing."

"Oh go on." Minerva says.

Blitz smirks a bit before pulling back and looking at her. "Why do that when I could do this?" He asks before kissing her. Minerva smiles into the kiss and hugs him again as she kisses back before he lets go. "Can't believe you did it. You actually made it possible."

"Well it's only temporary. I can't keep this up for long." Minerva says.

Blitz now looks worried. "How much longer?"

"Ten minutes if I strain the ship's processors, but you wouldn't like that so five." Minerva says.

Blitz holds onto her again by her hooves now. "Then what do you want to do?"

Minerva sadly smiles to him and brings a hoof to his face. "This." She said before kissing him. Blitz sadly looks to her as he kissed back as he sees a little counter on one of the screens in the background and then just enjoys the kiss with her until the timer hits zero and he fell right through her. "Sorry. Time's up." Minerva said as she backs off.

"Ok, I will see you later." Blitz says as everything fades.

Minerva looks away a bit before suddenly looking back at him. "Blitz?" She asks desperately.

Blitz didn't get the chance to reply as he was thrown out of virtual reality. He wakes up and throws the helmet off of him before looking around. "Minerva?"

"Program has fallen apart." Minerva says as her hologram reappeared.

Blitz looks to her. "What were you going to ask me?"

Minerva looks away from him. "I…rather not say."

"Take all the time you need." Blitz says.

Minerva floats away. "You better get this ship moving." She said as her slightly outstretched hoof went right through him.

"Ok." Blitz says leaving. After he left, Twilight came out of hiding.

"You ok?" Twilight asks.

Minerva shakes her head as she looks down. "I never really got to tell him."

Twilight thinks for a few. "You got the information on that prototype ship we're heading to?" She asks making Minerva nods and a beep sounds out from Twilight's omnitool.

"Everything you need is there." Minerva said floating over to the pilot's seat and sitting on it as she watches the ship move.

Twilight sadly looks to her as she looks over the information. "Remember, you're family as well, even if you are an A.I." Twilight reminded as she left.

"Twilight, I am reconsidering your offer." Minerva says.

Twilight looks back at her. "What do you mean?" Minerva just looks back at her with a certain look.

"Attention, this is your chief speaking. We are traveling to our first mission. We are going to be investigating unknown space so be on guard and ready for action. Once we're there we will search for our old sister vessel before giving the debriefing and ending our first successful mission together. After that, we'll see what will happen. That is all." Blitz's voice is heard over the intercoms.

Of course, Spike was still focused. "Spike, maybe you should take a break." Applebloom offered.

"Nope." He said still playing the same game.

Scootaloo sighs. "Come on Spike, play with us for a change."

"Can't, must kill this stupid worm." Spike says as he continued to fire at the giant worm creature.

Sweetie Belle comes right by him before hitting the escape button and pausing the game and quickly pulls him out of the seat before taking him place. "That wasn't a request." She said as she saved the game before exiting it and then starts leading Spike to where the rest of them were and gives him a controller before sitting down on the theater couch and turns on the TV.

"All hands, brace yourselves. We are jumping in T-minus one hundred and eighty seconds." Blitz says over the intercom.

Spike looks worried as the rest of the fillies just looked confused. "Jumping?" Scootaloo asks.

Spike quickly gets into the seat and pushes them against the seat as he takes one himself. "Trust me, you want to be against something or tied down for this." The three then see parts of the ship locking down.

Sweetie Bello looks to Spike scared. "What's going on?"

Spike sighs as he righted himself. "All right, when we jump through space, we are either traveling so fast we need to hold ourselves to something or through a wormhole and it will all be peachy. This is the fast version by the sound of it." He said as he sees some of the electronics power down.

"T-minus ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one, engage hyperspace warp." Blitz says over the intercom.

"Hang on to something." Spike said and before they took off, he felt three pairs of hooves on his arms.

After what felt like hours, but was really one minute the jump started to even out and everything shifted to a comfortable pace. "Everypony okay?" Spike asks.

"Yeah." Scootaloo says getting up.

"Well we are in warp drive." Spike says.

"Wait, we aren't there?" Sweetie Belle asks.

"No, we are moving at the speed of light, but even with this speed we won't reach other areas of space instantly. We will be like this for a while." Spike says. "Can you girls let go of my arms now?" He asks as he feels the blood being cut off.

"Sorry." They said as they let go of him and Spike sighs in relief.

"That's better. I was afraid of playing with my tail as claws." Spike said as he moves his arms around to make sure they are working.

Scootaloo hits him. "Ah shut up, you took harder. Like when you went on that journey alone and came back with a phoenix. Hey, what happened to him?"

Spike sighs. "He grew older. I had to let him go. But he was a great bird." He said as he stayed leaned back.

Spike then felt something land on his head. "What's on my head?" He asks the fillies who were smiling a little.

"I don't know, why don't you check?" Scootaloo says.

Spike grows confused and looks up to see an orange and red bird look down on him. "Feather!" Spike yelled as he took him off of his head and hugs him. "Missed you man."

"Aww." Sweetie Belle and Applebloom said while Scootaloo just sticks her tongue off to the side.

"Oh look out girls someone is creeping up on you." Spike says before looking back to Feather.

They look confused until they turn around and a large mass came onto the couch. "Terran!" They yelled before jumping on him to which he yelp and jumps a little playfully,

Spike chuckles as he looks to Feather. "How did you get on board?" Feather just gave him an embarrassed look with a wing behind his head.

"Excuse me girls, have you seen a phoenix around here?" Fluttershy asks walking in as Terran playfully pawed at Applebloom.

Spike looks crosses his arms at Feather who was stuck out in the open and looking really embarrassed. "That answers that question." He said.

"Oh there you are." Fluttershy says walking over.

Spike smiles. "When did he comes back?"

"Oh, I found him wandering around the Everfree not long after my wedding. Wait, what do you mean, come back?" Fluttershy asks.

Spike smiles as he pointed to Feather. "This is Feather, the phoenix egg I found when I went on my dragon journey. He left after he got old enough and so I let him go."

"Oh my, I had no idea." Fluttershy says as Terran playfully tackled her.

Spike smiles as the fillies come back and sit with him, looking messy and hair out of place. "Terran give you a hard time?" He asks, chuckling a bit.

"Quiet." They said almost glaringly, but can't hold it and gives a small smile to him. "You know what, he's too cute for his own good." Scootaloo said.

"Yet, Twilight told me of when he tore apart a manticorn alpha in a matter of moments." Spike says.

The fillies advance a little on Spike. "We meant you." Applebloom said, holding a smirk now.

Spike suddenly looks a little scared as Sweetie Belle gets close. "Yeah, maybe we should deal with him with…what was the game played at Diamond Tiara's birthday party called?"

Scootaloo thinks for a few. "I think it was called seven minutes in…"

"Later!" Spike yells before running off and smacking into Terran. "Ow." He said as he fell down.

The three fillies stood above him as he laid down in a daze. "Well girls, closet time?" Applebloom asks.

"Girls, your siblings are looking for you." Fluttershy informs.

Spike looks up at the fillies as they groan and he gets up. "Don't worry, we can spend time later." He said without thinking and then slaps himself in the face. "I just said that, didn't I?"

The fillies all hug him before running to their sister's quarters as Spike gains a little blush and looks back to Fluttershy. "Did I just gained the affection of three fillies?"

"Maybe we shall see later." Fluttershy says before Terran licked her face.

Spike slaps himself on the face before moving back to the computer. "Back to gaming." He said as he started it up.

Fluttershy thinks for a few. "You know, there is something you can do."

Spike looks back to her. "What is it?"

Fluttershy smirks as she watches Spike look at the ingredients in front of him in his pink frilly apron. "Good luck." She said before leaving.

"I swear, I'm being punished." Spike said to himself. Feather sqwakes. "I am." Spike said in defense.

The griffon just places a large spoon in his hand. "Just get to cooking kid and watch him, he is constantly trying to raid us." He said before working on his own after pointing to Terran who was half hidden.

Spike sighs. "I wonder how the girls are." He slaps himself in the face again. "Dang it!" He said before hitting himself in the head. "Okay, cooking. Back off Terran." He said slapping his spoon on Terran's head, making him go back down before really cooking.

Blitz eyes the engine readings as they still traveled. "How are we doing?" He asks the crew.

"All stable, but the engineers want to do an overhaul later. They say they keep hearing a clicking noise." A communication officer says.

Blitz nods. "As long as it makes the ship better that increases our chances in areas and keeps us safe. Time?"

"Forty hours till we exit hyperspace." Meratan says.

Blitz nods. "Good, keep at it. I'll be checking on something and have all teams do ten hour rotations. I want everyone awake and ready to go when we get there." He said as he left.

Blitz sighs as he stood outside Twilight's room before opening the door and heading inside before locking it behind him.

"Hope you don't mind, I invited a few other mares." Twilight says.

Blitz looks to her. "Oh yeah, who?"

"Who do you think?" He hears Rainbow as she lands on his back.

Blitz smiles a bit. "Anypony else?"

"How about me darling?" Rarity asks as she leans on him.

Blitz smiles. "I think I can take you. So you all want it?"

Both Rainbow and Rarity shake their heads. "Giving you a smaller line until you fall asleep." Rarity said.

"Hey, want am I, chopped liver?" Spitfire asks.

Blitz now looks worried. "Um…how many of you are here?"

"This is everypony, Shadow and Fleetfoot have to watch the teams." Spitfire says wrapping her wing around him and Rainbow.

Blitz sighs. "I don't think I can deal with you all. How about a nice quiet get together?"

"What do you think girls?" Twilight asks.

"No." Spitfire, Rainbow, and Rarity says.

Blitz pets Spitfire's mane as they laid on him. "Geez, at the rate I'm going, I'll burn myself out." He said as he lays his head back.

"Don't worry, we will start lightening up for quite a while." Twilight says.

"After Daring, Fleetfoot, Shadow, Pinkie and Applejack get a turn." Rainbow adds.

Blitz sighs. "And therein lies the problem."

"They are going to wait to after this." Spitfire says snuggling into his chest.

Blitz pets Twilight's mane. "I want at least a few at a time. Not a reverse gangbang."

"We were just surprising you for this time. This won't become a normal thing." Twilight says.

Blitz gives a fake obvious chuckle. "Make sure it doesn't, even I have limits."

"We know." Twilight says looking to the sleeping form of Rarity.

Blitz sighs afterwards. "But…I'll try if you want."

"Nah, we were just experimenting with this and I don't know about the other girls, but I wanted a little more attention." Rainbow says.

Blitz smiles a bit. "Yes you can play with the other mares."

"Nah, I want you even though Spitfire is cool. I want my husband." Rainbow says.

"Aww." The other mares said as Rainbow blushes deeply.

"Shut up." Rainbow whines.

Blitz chuckles as he now pets her mane, making her purr. "It's fine. We're lying here in bed with ourselves exposed to everypony here. I think you can live with that."

Rainbow glares a bit before purring again as she leans her head into his hoof. "That's nice."

"That it is Rainbow." Blitz says before kissing her neck. Rainbow moans as the others move to her and start to message her or give a few kisses here and there. "How do you feel?" Blitz asks between his kisses.

Rainbow moans and whines a bit. "Good."

Blitz smiles and backs off. "You'll get more later. I'm still out."

"Well I'm staying right here for a while." Rainbow says touching his chest.

Blitz groans as he gets up a little and holds her hoof. "I have to go. You can stay with the others though."

"No." Rainbow says.

Blitz tilts his head a little. "Then you just want to rest with me?"

"You are staying right here with me." Rainbow says a little stubborn.

Blitz smiles until his face goes blank and he just slumps his body sitting down.

"Mares always win." Rainbow says smiling.

Twilight pokes Blitz and he stayed slumping. "Blitz? You okay…whoa!" She yelled as she was grabbed and held.

"Warm." He said as he held her.

"Ok girls, let's warm him up." Twilight says encircling him with her wings.

Blitz slightly smiles a bit as the others hug him all over. "My mates."

"Yeah." Spitfire says as she and Rainbow encircle him with their wings.

Blitz shakes himself a bit and looks to all of them. "Sorry girls. Blacked out there…why am I being hugged all over?" Blitz didn't get a response and found all four sleeping. Blitz smiles as he tries to wiggle out of their grips, but soon stops as they hug him tighter.

Blitz sighs and lets them rest against him and hugs Twilight harder. "Oh girls. You really have no idea how happy you make me."

"Okay, how did he do that with so little ingredients?" The griffon asks as he looks around the big cake.

The other chef shrugs. "I have no idea."

Spike smiles as he places the last frosted flower on the cake. "There, what do you think?" He asks turning back to them.

The griffon just looks confused. "How…?"

Spike looks back at the cake and then back to him. "Oh, Twilight usually can't cook and when she does, she was more likely to set the tree house on fire. So I ended up cooking almost everything." He then looks slightly away. "Even my own birthday cake. Kinda sad really. You ever had to cook for yourselves and soon felt like not eating it because in a sense you already tasted it?"

The human chef just looked surprised. "Wow, that's pretty…deep."

"Yeah and…Terran back off." Spike says waving the ladle at Terran. Terran growls as he retreats back into the alcove behind him. "Any case, I have a lot of time alone and usually to myself. I would get lucky if I had time."

The griffon still eyed the cake. "So…what's the occasion?"

Spike shrugs. "Anything really. Whatever you want." He said before he hears munching on the other side of the cake and spins it around. "Terran, I swear that if you…" He stops as he sees three fillies sitting in and eating the cake. "Huh, so that's why I found a bow in my mixing bowl. There were three beautiful ingredients in there." He said before stopping himself. "Dang it!"

"Hey, hey, no one steals from the kitchen while we cook." The griffon says.

The three fillies try to leave and end up making the cake topple over to the other side. "Oh crap." Spike said before he was buried under some frosting and sponge bread. "At least it can't any worse." Terran comes up and starts to lick the frosting off of him. "Scratch that. That's it, I'm out." He said as he steps out of the pile of cake. "If anypony needs me, I'll be washing myself off and playing some more games." He said leaving with a trial of frosting behind him.

"Get this mess cleaned up and get ready. Lunch begins in two hours." The head chief says.

The griffon and human sighs. "Yes sir." They said before grabbing a mop and broom and trying to not clean up, but rather push Terran back. "Back foul beast, back." The griffon said pushing it back. Terran roars in his face, scaring him a bit. "Geez, this thing is temperamental. How does the chief deal with this thing?"

"Terran, if Blitz hears about this, he will get upset." Applebloom says.

Terran whines and bundles over to her and nuzzles her before running off. Applebloom smiles as he runs off somewhere and she looks back to the chefs now working on cleaning up before leaving. "You find him girls?" She asks Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo.

Sweetie Belle shakes her head. "Not really."

Applebloom sighs. "Well we have to apologize for what we did or he will never play with us again."

Scootaloo thinks for a few before grabbing them. "Come on girls. I got an idea." She said dragging them to the computer. "We have to at least impress him. Where's that game?"

"Wow." Sweetie Belle says looking out the window.

Applebloom and Scootaloo look over and saw that same thing. "How did we miss that?" Scootaloo asks.

Applebloom tries to speak. "I have no idea how we missed a ship that big."

"Wasn't that the ship we were on?" Sweetie Belle asks.

"Okay, now it's time to playyyyyy…what the heck?" Spike said dropping the towel he had and walking over to them and the ship in the background. "How did we drop out of hyperspace so quickly and unnoticed?"

Blitz eyes shot wide open and felt something was wrong. "Girls, wake up now!" Blitz yells as he shakes them off and gets up.

The mares all awaken as they look around. "What, what's going…whoa, that's a big ship." Spitfire said as she looks out the window.

"Girls, get to safety." Blitz says making the room drop down into the ship before teleporting to the bridge. "All hands battle stations, go to combat speed one and bring shield and weapons to bare." Blitz orders and turns to Meratan. "How the heck did we drop out of hyperspace without notice?"

Meratan looks over the data pad she had. "I don't know, we just dropped out of hyperspace and this ship was there. Wait…got the log." She said as a list came up. "Okay, it should…no, no, no, no!" She said as the list started to dwindle down to last user before it disappeared as well.

"Hold, they are not moving." Blitz says noticing. "Meratan, get us a scan on that ship now. Somethings off." Blitz says.

Meratan quickly rushes to a console. "Scanning now, what am I looking for?"

"A power signature for starters." Blitz says.

Meratan hits a few things. "Okay, I got…nothing? Hold on." She said trying again and comes up with the same results. "Still nothing. That ship is dead in the water."

"Scan the entire area and start sending probes to get more detailed scans and tell our fighter pilots to go on red alert and be in their fighters ready to launch." Blitz says.

Meratan nods. "Of course sir, would you like to try to hail them? There must be power in a portable version rather than the ship itself." She asks.

"No, I don't think so. Something is off, I have never seen a ship design like this and I have seen nearly every ship in the galaxy." Blitz says.

Meratan nods and accidentally hits something on the console. "Oh shoot. Okay, let me turn that…"

GROWL

"Off." Meratan finishes.

"Hold that frequency." Blitz instructs.

Meratan nods. "Yes chief. What do we do now? Board?"

Blitz sighs as he looks upon the strange castle like ship. "I got a better idea. Information time." He said walking out.

"Wait, what?" Spike asks as Blitz stood in the rec room as the fillies looks over the ship.

Blitz sighs. "Of all the times playing games, have you known any ship like that? I'm just asking because I have the list for real life ships in my head."

"No, I haven't." Spike says.

"As I thought. Meratan, have the probes switch their scanning to determine age of the ship and last time its engines were powered up?" Blitz asks.

Meratan sighs. "Working on that now sir and getting the information. Let's see, the age is something of a mix. I'm reading different ages all over. Must be repaired too much."

"And the engines?" Blitz asks.

"Scans indicate…that can't be right." Meratan says.

Blitz grows worried. "What is it?"

"Readings says it has been more than ten thousand years, galactic standard time." Meratan says.

"We are looking at a lost relic people." Blitz says.

Spike looks to the ship. "Did you try talking to them maybe?"

Blitz sighs. "Yeah, just came up with a growl. Probably some creatures who don't need air and pressure have made that thing its home."

Spike looks to him. "A growl?"

Blitz looks to him as well. "Yeah, why?"

Spike tries to think. "Nothing, it's just…something. I can't put my claw on it."

"Sir, one of the probes just went dark." Meratan said.

"I'm on my way back to the bridge. Have the rest withdraw and get me the last image the probe saw." Blitz said walking away.

After he came onto the bridge he sees the whole crew looking at a screen which had a sort of a straight line coming through the screen and slightly webbed on the far side as it bulged out. "Lens cracked?" He asks coming in.

Meratan shakes her head. "We got the last footage. It found a breach in the hull so we decided to head in and after it entered what looks like a hallway, that happened and then static."

"Show me the feed." Blitz orders.

The crew nods and messes with the consoles and the screen was replaced with a picture of a breach of a hull before it moves closer and heads in. As they see it head into the hallway and straightened out, it suddenly gains the lines and when they thought it was a bit of static it suddenly turns to pure static.

Blitz kept showing the static before it rewinds and plays slowly up to the last moments. "Not static?"

Meratan shakes her head. "Yes sir, it's something else. Something that maybe has to do with that growl." She said looking at the communications console and they still hear a bit of groaning and growls.

"Freeze image 678." Blitz ordered. The video rewinds from the static again and goes to the image asked for.

"What is that?" Meratan asks.

"From the look of it, no natural creature." Blitz says.

Meratan looks to him. "Want to investigate?"

Blitz sighs. "Prep a transport. Get us heavily armored and armed shredders. It's looking like it's ready to fall apart." He said starting to leave.

"Blitz, Blitz, I finally remembered." Spike says running onto the bridge out of breathe.

Blitz looks to him as he pants. "Whoa, slow down there. What did you remember?"

Spike rushes to a nearby computer. "Minerva, sync the rec room computer with the screen here."

"Acknowledged." Minerva says. After looking at the monitor Blitz stops cold.

"Why, why did it have to be Dead Space?" Blitz says.

Spike looks to him. "You played?"

Blitz groans. "Unfortunately, change of plans. Minerva, bring our main gun online." Blitz orders.

Spike jumps off his seat. "Bad idea and you know it."

"Oh, it's not the idea you're thinking. Minerva, reroute all power from it and switch it to completely shield us and have…one moment, get me a close up on the star of this system now." Blitz says.

Minerva brings up a camera and zooms in on the star and shows it brightly orange. "Reason?" She asks.

Spike looks to him. "Crash into the sun?"

"No, look." Blitz says and they see a ship similar to the Darkline.

Spike slaps his forehead. "Please tell me that isn't the ship you're looking for and this isn't probably the beginning of the game."

"No, not the beginning of the game. All hands, change of plans. Get us distance from this ship now and head for that ship. Meratan, scan the star now and tell me how long we have." Blitz says.

Meratan nods and goes to a console. "This might take a while. What should we do in the meantime?"

"Hail, that ship and start scanning. I want to know if there is anyone alive on that ship." Blitz says.

"Scans complete, we have less than eight hours till star goes supernova." Minerva says.

They all look surprised as Meratan tried to hail the new ship. "How is that possible? It's not even the right size or color." One of the crew said.

Minerva was silent for a bit. "Increased mass is one and the only I can come up with."

"Or they launched a level seven missile or an improvised version of it into the star as a last resort to destroy those things." Blitz says.

"That would cause the star to go supernova in seventy two hours." Minerva says.

"That is why I am hoping for survivors." Blitz says.

"Got them!" Meratan yells.

"Mayday, mayday, is anyone receiving this?"

"This is the Darkline, confirming we hear you." Blitz says.

"Mayday, mayday, is anyone receiving this?"

"Seems they can't hear us. Alright, Meratan start using morse code with our lights." Blitz says.

Meratan nods and heads to a far off console and starts to mess with the lights and they see the bridge lights turn off and on. Spike just looks confused. "Can it be possible it's just a loop?"

"No, if you notice there's a difference in tone every time." Blitz says.

"Sir, I don't think they can hear us. The communications might b…wait, is that morse code?"

"See." Blitz says.

Everyone watches as the lights changes. "So what's its saying?" Spike asks.

"We…can…hear…you…but…you…aren't…receiving."

"Next message: How many of you are left and have the creatures infiltrated the bridge yet?" Blitz orders.

Meratan nods and keeps trying to mess with the lights. "Done."

"We have only nine left and not yet, we collapsed the air vents and barricaded the door."

"Do you have your armor on?" Blitz asks as Meratan continues to mess with the lights.

"No, just grabbed a pistol for each of us."

"Then prepare protocol omega-four." Blitz says.

"That is risky."

"It is the only way to evacuate you and we don't have long before the star goes supernova and wipes out everything." Blitz says.

"What's protocol omega-four?" Spike asks.

"We have a transport land right on top of the bridge's window and move the boarding tube onto it and cut open a hole in it." Blitz says.

Spike looks a bit worried. "And if that's true, how much time do they have?"

"Minutes to escape, the ship is compromised and the sun will destroy everything with its final moments." Blitz says.

Spike now looks worried. "Well you better hurry."

"Meratan, send the shuttle and plot a hyperspace jump out of here. Omega is the closest jump coordinates, so target there and get me Aria on the line now." Blitz says.

The screen crackles a bit before a purple creature appeared on it. "The great Cross, to what do I owe this pleasurable call for?"

"Trouble Aria. I'm sending data for your eyes only now." Blitz says.

Aria takes a look at a nearby data pad. "Why am I looking at a video game?"

"You are not, we have literally encountered these creatures. You know what these things are like if what the games are like is true. As such we will be warping to Omega soon. Can you have your ships perform an organic wipe on my ship?" Blitz asks.

Aria throws the data pad away without looking. "Fine, just don't have these things in my air vents. I like to breath." She said before cutting off.

"Alright, no one leaves the ship, all fighters are grounded and start doing a mini bio-cleansing in the air vents immediately and keep doing them constantly." Blitz orders.

The crew nods as they get to work and Blitz and Spike walks off. "So what now?" Spike ask after a while.

"We wait and prepare to warp and say nope to this nightmare." Blitz says.

Spike chuckles a bit. "Just think what you would have to do if you got on that ship."

"I would rather not." Blitz says as a shuttle is seen flying towards the Mandalorian ship.

Spike shrugs. "You're choice." He said walking into the rec room and still sees the three fillies at the window. "You girls okay?" He asks as he comes up to them.

"Come on, it can't be that bad." Scootaloo says.

"Spike, take them to play Dead Space." Blitz says after moments of silence.

Spike grins a bit. "Sure." He said as he closes the blinds and turns off the lights. "Come on girls, you're going to love this." He said heading to the couch.

Blitz waited and stared at the scenery for what felt like hours before the transport was back aboard. "Alright Minerva, punch it. The star is about to start increasing its gravity well." Blitz says as he sees the ancient ship starting to be pulled towards the sun.

"You got it, pulling out now." Minerva said as the ship starts to move.

Blitz sighs as he sees the crew of the ship get off the shuttle. "Is everyone okay?"

"Yeah, we got them out right before the creatures started banging on the door." The pilot says.

Blitz nods. "Good, get them to the infirmary just in case and place them in quarantine, level five."

"Understood." The pilot says.

Blitz keeps watching the crew of the ship walk past him and tries to watch them for anything, but not outward appearance and once they went out of view he heads to the other elevator to head back up.

"Warp now Minerva." Blitz orders. He hangs onto a nearby crate and feels the ship push him a bit before it levels out. "Okay, tell my mares I'm coming up."

"Got it. We will be at Omega in T-minus two hours." Minerva says.

Blitz nods as he heads up before coming out into the so called common area of the mares' rooms. "Girls?"

"We done?" Rainbow asks.

Blitzes sighs as the common area was remade into a living room area and sits down on a couch. "Yeah, we're safe now."

Shadow sits right next to him and grabs his hoof before placing it on her zipper. "What was it?"

"Oh, a nightmare I said nope to and decide for us to leave." Blitz says.

Shadow smiles as she makes his hoof go down. "Really, so we're safe?"

"Not until we finished the bio-cleansing on the ship." Blitz says.

Shadow grabs his hoof and pulls him to her room. "Come on. Let's have a little fun."

Blitz pulls up two blaster pistols. "Wait until after that, then you may have it." Blitz says.

Shadow whines. "Aww, come on. I got something special for you."

"We are not out of danger Shadow." Blitz says.

Shadow pouted cutely. "Aw, that's it, I'm doing this with you if you like it or not."

"You can be right here with me until then." Blitz says wrapping a hoof around her, but not putting down either blaster.

Shadow grins. "Want to come back to my room at least?"

"Sure." Blitz says as they walk.

Shadow smiles as she pulls him inside and closes the door. "Put this on." She said holding up a Wonderbolt uniform.

"Wait until we get there first, until then." Blitz says starting to kiss her.

Shadow moans as she kisses back and pulls back a little. "How much longer?"

"A few more hours." Blitz says.

Shadow smiles. "Are you okay with my plan for our night?"

"Want to get dominated by your competition, huh?" Blitz asks keeping one eye on the vents.

Shadow shakes her head. "Nope, put the suit on and find out what will happen."

"You have to wait." Blitz says.

Shadow sigh and heads for the bathroom. "I'll be back in a bit."

"Watch the vents." Blitz says as red lights pass through the vents every so often.

Shadow waves at him. "Yeah, uh huh." She said closing the door.

Blitz watched the vent carefully as he put on the Wonderbolt costume and hiding just out of view. After a while Shadow came out in the same Shadowbolt costume she's been wearing. "What's different?" Blitz asks, eyeing the costume.

Shadow smiles a little. "Oh a rip here and rip there."

"Oh, why not turn around and look at me." Blitz says.

Shadow grins and turns around to let him see many stretched parts of the suit and ripped in some areas that shows off some questionable areas while being so skin tight he saw her flank straining and showing how far it could hug her.

Shadow starts to walk towards him with a bigger shake on her flank as she gain sultry eyes. "You know what that suit you're wearing does?" She asks placing her hooves on his shoulders and leaning on him.

"What?" Blitz asks.

Shadow grins and moves to his ear. "It makes blank versions of the one wearing it to appear and do whatever the wearer wants."

"Shadow, I'm not gangbanging you. I reserve the right to be the only one stallion who bangs you and no copies allowed." Blitz whispers into her ear before biting it softly.

Shadow moans. "It's only making the shape of you, not like clones. It would look ponykins, but wearing the suit with it. Besides, I love being taken too many ways and it's not separate. You would feel what they feel."

"What I say stands. Now stop being bad or I might punish you." Blitz says.

Shadow groans and let's go of him. "Then take off the suit since there is no point of wearing it." She said heading back to the bathroom. "Spent all those enchantments for nothing. Lousy few thousands bits." She muttered to herself.

"Oh I don't know, gave me an idea on how to take you." Blitz says getting her curious.

Shadow huffs. "I thought you said you don't want others no matter what."

"Oh you are going to see what I mean in a few hours." Blitz says starting to ease her.

Shadow groans. "I got that suit for you so that nopony else can mess with me and only you and you don't bother with that idea even. I probably won't get excited at this point."

"Not even if I…" Blitz starts whispering into her ear, causing Shadow to start getting a little wet. "You were saying?" Blitz asks.

"All of them?" Shadow asks.

"We will get to all of them, maybe not this session, but we will." Blitz says.

Shadow moans. "I want it all in one go, but you have to find a way to get me to have it all at the same time."

"Yeah, but I can be sadistic, so I'm only going to do them one at a time." Blitz whispers into her ear.

Shadow whines. "I want you to be like that. Go all out."

"Nope, you're going to have to go through each one, one by one." Blitz says as he feels them exit hyperspace.

Shadow frowns. "You know how I got this fetish?"

"No, but you know what our stopping means?" Blitz asks.

Shadow looks to him. "Mainly we exited hyperspace. And you don't want to talk much and just go your own way."

"No, it means time to start." Blitz says smirking.

Shadow huffs. "I'm still mad. You kinda didn't even find a simple middle ground."

"Oh, not even if I do this?" Blitz asks starting to stroke her wings.

Shadow groans. "Blitz, I wanted this. I was ready and you brought me down. Why?"

"To tease you so you don't expect this." Blitz says as Shadow feels sompony grabbing her from behind.

Shadow frowns. "So you just didn't do it just so you could tease me and then offer me a lower one?"

"No, I just did it to fake you out to get you back for the pie to the face. Yes Shadow, I knew that was you." Blitz says as Shadow starts looking sheepish.

Shadow blushes red before turning away. "So you still want to do this the 'old fashioned' way?"

Blitz wordlessly grabs her from behind. "What do you think?" Blitz asks before throwing her onto her bed.

Shadow groans. "Fine." She said before turning around and lifting her flank up. "Here. Have fun."

"Oh no, first I got to do this." Blitz says grabbing her again. Later, Blitz had Shadow leaning into his chest, smiling happily. "You feel better?" Blitz asks.

"I'm still mad because that suit was a few thousand bits to get made. Now it's all wasted and might as well either give it away or burn it." Shadow said nuzzling him.

"What are you talking about, I used it." Blitz says.

Shadow looks up to him. "Never make me feel that mad again okay? I don't really want to feel that way to somepony I love the most."

"Oh, you mean Spitfire?" Blitz jokes as he uses his magic to hold up a picture of them kissing.

Shadow blushes hot red as she looks away. "She got me the suit."

"And I got both of you sexy mares." Blitz says before kissing her neck.

Shadow moans. "You can keep the suit. Think of it as my wedding gift to you. I just needed time to get it."

"What are you talking about? I already got my wedding gift. She's right here." Blitz says.

Shadow keeps blushing. "Cu…cut it out. I mean it. I also got it just in case we got overbearing like Spitfire and the others did when they wanted a whole night with you."

"I meant it as well my beautiful light blue shadow." Blitz says.

Shadow looks up to him. "Light blue?"

"You thought you were sneaky never letting me see you out of uniform, didn't you?" Blitz asks before using his magic to remove her uniform.

Shadow stops him for a bit by holding onto her suit. "Blitz, I never wanted you to know for a reason."

"Why, I like it. Now come on let me see how you look, we are married after all." Blitz says.

Shadow looks carefully at him before getting up and sitting on the edge of the bed. "There is a reason you don't see Shadowbolts without their uniforms and it's all because we were reformed."

"Go on." Blitz says petting her mane.

Shadow bites her lip. "When Nightmare Moon was reformed into Luna, we changed as well. Unfortunately, they didn't bother to tell the guards that." She said pulling her hood down and shows some scarring on her neck. "Tied to the walls by collars and stocks." She said while unzipping herself before pulling the suit down and showing some hard scaring where some of her coat isn't even growing. "Whips to interrogate us to give information since they didn't trust poor Luna at the time. It was the worst for us, especially for me."

"They raped you, didn't they?" Blitz asks now holding her.

Shadow leans back into him and hisses as he rubs against her scars. "Yes, the interrogation wasn't watched so they did anything to get information out of us. Even making these things hurt permanently. The suits we wear has a spell and some herbs and salves from that zebra to help ease the pain. It's why I never took the suit off on our wedding night because it would hurt more than it would feel good."

"Shadow, come with me." Blitz says.

Shadow looks to him. "Blitz, it won't heal. Even Celestia and Luna tried themselves after it was all over and it didn't work. The zebra told us this is permanent."

"Luna also tried to heal me after I was wounded by Bloody Mary. Just trust me and let me try and help." Blitz says.

Shadow just looks forward again. "Blitz…I want this to stay. I want this reminder."

"Shadow, even if this doesn't remove the scars, at least come with me to see if we can't make it to where you don't feel the pain." Blitz says.

Shadow hugs herself now. "Now you see why I want everything on me, don't you?"

"Yes, now Shadow please, do you trust me?" Blitz asks.

Shadow sighs and zips up her suit before putting the hood on. "Let's go. You might want to take yours off first." She said eyeing his suit and the transparent pony standing behind them.

"Alright." Blitz says as the pony disappears and they walk to one of the infirmaries.

The mare doctor sighs as she messes with a machine and looks to Shadow. "I'll tell you what I said before when we were at the castle, it's not coming off." She said as she looks over Shadow's wounds.

"Excuse me, Minerva, time to work." Blitz calls.

A machine came down and a probe floated in front of Shadow. "Hey girl." Minerva said as it made a light scan her over.

"Ok, I will leave now. You stay and watch." Blitz says to the doctor as he gets Shadow to lay onto the table.

"Blitz?" Shadow asks as the machine above her came down and she flipped herself over.

"Don't worry, Minerva is a master at medical." Blitz says as he slips the gas mask onto her muzzle.

Shadow quickly grabs his hoof. "Don't lea…" Shadow tries to say before she closes her eyes and she fell asleep, snoring a bit.

"I will see you soon as I cannot take watching doctors at work for it freaks me out." Blitz says walking outside.

A few hours later, Shadow starts to come around. She groans as she opens her eyes and then sits up and looks at herself before realizing her suit was gone. "Dammit, where's my suit?!" She yelled getting off the table and trying to find it.

"Not showing any signs of pain." The doctor says.

"See, told you that medical science of Mandalorians was far more advanced than magical medical." Blitz says.

Shadow finally grabs her suit, but still feels some of her fur missing. "You couldn't do anything for the scars?"

"Scars fade with time, just look at me." Blitz says and, turning around, Shadow sees him riddled with scars.

Shadow sighs and puts the suit on. "At least it would feel like the old days." She said zipping herself up.

"So now that you no longer feel pain?" Blitz asks.

Shadow looks to him before walking over to him and sitting down in front of him. "I want you to wear that suit tonight and rip off my suit and use me straight into the ground."

"Well it seems your sexual drive just took a jump." Blitz says.

Shadow then looks to his hoof before grabbing it and holding it. "Just be sure you don't hold back and never be mad at me like last night. That's the one thing I don't want experience again, my own husband not listening…like the guards."

"Oh don't worry, I listen." Blitz says moving a chocolate cake slice back and forth in front of her. "Like how you said you wanted chocolate cake in your sleep."

Shadow blushes before grabbing his hoof hard and pulls him out. "Come on and hang onto that cake."

"This is where being a unicorn comes in handy." Blitz says holding the piece of cake in midair with magic.

Shadow smiles before looking around and then passes by the rec room where the fillies were all cowering behind Spike who was intensely focused into the game. Shadow takes another look around at all the doors before going to one and opens it and shoves him inside. "Stay here for a bit." She said as the cake floated in front of him and she closes the door and runs off.

"Oh great, I'm locked in a closet now." Blitz says sarcastically.

"You too, huh?" Pinkie asks.

"Pinkie, when did you get here?" Blitz asks.

Pinkie grins. "Well I made a mess and looking for a mop, but the door locked behind me."

Blitz sighs. "Why did she lock me in here?"

Pinkie shrugs. "I don't know, maybe she wants to role-play with you and act like an innocent mare shoved into a closet and then raped by several stallions at once."

"Um…I doubt that, by the way where are you in the turns?" Blitz asks.

Pinkie smiles. "Getting myself prepared. I wanted to really surprise you. Hey, are you going to use that suit with me?"

"Um…no and you know the order then? Can you tell me it?" Blitz asks.

Pinkie shakes her head. "I made a Pinkie Promise to not tell and you do not break a Pinkie Promise." She said getting into his face.

Blitz smirks and uses the chance to kiss her. "How was that for a counter?" Blitz asks.

Pinkie smiles. "Aww, you do care. But I'm getting out now."

"Huh?" Blitz asks before the door opened.

"Pinkie?" Shadow asks before grabbing her and throwing her out. "Get out of here." She said flicking her tail at her flank before looking at Blitz and throws the suit to him. "Time to play." She said grabbing the cake and closing the door, but leaving it open a bit.

Spike sighs as he got on the train again. "Thank goodness that's over with. That thing is a menace and can't be killed." He said, laying back into the seat. Then he feels three fillies grab onto him, shivering. "Hey, it's okay. It's just a game."

"Umm…" Scootaloo started.

"Oh, right we encountered them." Spike says. "Ah, well it's over now. Best way to deal with them is high heat and that supernova did the job." He said, not knowing he wrapping his tail around them like a mother kitten.

"Oh this is so cute." Shadow says. They look over and see Shadow standing in the doorway. "It's so cute that you are protecting them."

Spike looks confused until he looks down to the fillies and sees his tail around them before he pulls it back quickly and jumps away a little. "Sorry, sorry girls."

Shadow smiles. "Oh you are just a treat." She said before walking down the hall and eating some cake along the way. Spike and the girls glare slightly to her before she passes a door and gets pulled into it and the door slams behind her.

Spike and the others looked in shocked until they hear her moaning a bit. "Okay, time to go or…" Spike said grabbing some headphones.

Shadow whines as she looks up to Blitz above her and then feels a hoof pushing her shoulders to the floor and sees two more stallions on the side of her.

"Time to go Shadow, we have work to do." Blitz says.

Shadow stares up at him as the clones massage her shoulders. "Jeez Blitz, you sure can kill a mood."

Blitz shows her his communicator which is buzzing. "The bridge is calling, we will have to continue later, oh and you need to inform the other Shadowbolts that we can heal them enough to where they don't feel pain." Blitz says playing on her loyalty to her team.

Shadow sighs and lays on the ground as the clones now start to kiss her cheeks. "Listen, we deserve what we got. We deserve the pain."

"No, you didn't. In fact, Celestia should be ashamed she didn't even try talking it out or compromising. She flat out demanded her to lower the moon and then started fighting her and banishing her to the moon because she didn't get what she wanted immediately. It was her own arrogance from always getting everything she wanted or just calling them evil and fighting them." Blitz says.

Shadow looks to him. "Can you hold me?"

"Alright Shadow." Blitz says grabbing her and hugging her while the other clones start to massage her back.

Shadow sighs onto his neck before nuzzling him. "Blitz, we do deserve it. We could have killed ponies and I do for lying to them all."

"But you didn't. Yes, you could have. You could have also invaded the griffon empire, started committing terrorist acts, or leave the country. But you didn't, don't beat yourself up over what could have happened." Blitz says holding her close.

Shadow closes her eyes and buries her face into his neck. "Make me forget, please. Just do anything to make me forget it all."

"I already have. You felt the pain for what you could have done, but now it is gone Shadow." Blitz says holding her in his hooves.

Shadow whimpers a bit. "Blitz?" She tries to say muffled.

"Shh, it's alright. Just let it go and free yourself from it all." Blitz says.

Shadow whimpers some more before crying into his shoulder and neck. "Bl…" She tries to say. "When it's over…I want you."

"We will be a family Shadow. Just like you want." Blitz says.

Shadow whimpers. "Blitz, I didn't tell you or anypony, did I?"

"That you dream of having a family and foals of your own especially before you were banished with Luna?" Blitz asks.

Shadow sighs and looks to him. "They killed it."

"You mean your ability to have foals?" Blitz asks.

Shadow sniffs. "One of the techniques to get information. After having fun with me of course."

"I wouldn't be so sure about that now." Blitz says smiling.

Shadow looks to him. "What are you talking about?"

"I told you, Minerva is a master at healing and repaired all damage." Blitz says touching her stomach.

Shadow holds a hoof over his. "You mean…?"

"Yeah, you can now be a mother. Now go share the wonderful news with your team, especially the mares." Blitz says.

Shadow smiles. "Blitz, thank you for coming into my life."

"Yeah, I am pretty awesome." Blitz jokes sticking his tongue out sideways.

Shadow smirks before grabbing his tongue in her mouth and kisses him. She separates after a bit. "When it comes to it. Take me all the way, but even more and really make me pregnant. I want everything, including those clones."

"I see, well before that, go talk to Octavia. You will most likely find her in her room listening to classical." Blitz says.

Shadow smiles. "Why? She isn't the stallion meat I'm looking for."

"Because she is also looking forward to being a mother and could give you advice." Blitz says.

Shadow smiles and kisses him. "Okay, but only because it's you. However, you better give me the best damn night ever." She spits to the side of her. "Unlike those guards who likes to just some fun with mares. Seriously, I think Celestia hired rapists into her guards."

"Well the standards for most royal guards have slipped." Blitz says as Pinkie drums in the background.

Shadow looks to him. "I don't get it."

"The guards were almost laughable if you were at the wedding of Shining Armor and princess Cadance." Blitz says.

Shadow smiles. "I heard. Jeez, once enemies and now friends."

"But that is why I think Spitfire asked me to come whip some of her cadets into shape." Blitz says.

Shadow sighs. "You better go, but you better treat me nicely or rather rough after you come back."

"Not before it's your turn on the list." Pinkie says.

They sigh and the closet door opens and the clones place Pinkie outside before heading back in and closing the door. "I'm so keeping this thing." Blitz said looking to the suit. "You think I could transfer it to another suit or outfit?"

Shadow shrugs. "I paid a lot of bits for it. I don't know, but maybe that princess you took might have an idea. Now, promise me you'll come back and take me like a rapist later tonight."

"You have been talking to Twilight." Blitz says flatly.

Shadow grins. "No, I really like being gang raped."

"Just go see Octavia after telling your team and just tell them to go to that infirmary and ask Minerva to operate." Blitz says.

Shadow smiles. "One last touch?"

Blitz lightly smacks her flank. "How is that?" Blitz asks.

Shadow moans. "I want more like this, treat me like a slut, okay?" She said letting go and heading to the door.

"I won't when you bare a foal." Blitz says.

Shadow looks back at him. "I know, just treat me the most crazy way you can at the time, okay?"

"Maybe I will, maybe I won't. I'll leave that as a surprise for you to ponder on." Blitz says.

Shadow giggles. "Just give me the craziest one tonight okay? I really need something, especially if it's you."

"No, it's not your turn." Pinkie says.

Shadow pushes Pinkie away and out of view. "Please, maybe when everypony is asleep?"

"We shall see. Also, since we are here, we are going to stay awhile at Omega." Blitz says.

Shadow grins. "Cool, later my potent stallion." She said before walking away.

Blitz walks off to the bridge. "Minerva, tell them to quit buzzing me. I'm on my way." Blitz says a little annoyed.

Minerva sighs. "Blitz, I heard, couldn't stop myself. No one should go through that."

"Then I have a new order. Dig and find those responsible. Knowing Celestia, she covered it up so it wouldn't come back to bite her that she can't control her own guards." Blitz says with a look Minerva knew all too well.

Minerva stayed silent for a bit. "Of course sir. I'll what I can find."

Blitz kept glaring until he spots the CMC sleeping in a pile and Spike curled around them. He smiled and turns the game and TV off before grabbing a blanket and putting it over them and turning off the lights as he left. "At least there are good things in this world." He said to himself.

"Chief on deck." Minerva announced as Blitz entered.

Blitz waves them off. "At ease. What's the situation?"

"Aria's ships just finished and we are cleared to dock." Meratan says.

"Alright, down grade to standby mode and tell the technicians to start working on the hyper drive when we are docked." Blitz says.

Meratan nods. "Any orders while docked?"

"Shut every drive we don't need and only run auxiliary power and emergency power. Also, what is the status on those nine survivors?" Blitz asks.

Meratan looks over her tablet. "Well, they are fine and stabilized. No signs of infections too." Blitz raises a hoof. "And their psych evals are fine. We played the game Blitz." She said making him put his hoof down.

Blitz nods. "Okay, then check over everything still and make sure there is no form of parasite or anything in the vents. I still had nightmares about them for a while after playing. Couldn't even go in my own bathroom." He said slightly shivering.

Meratan nods. "Yes sir, the scan is still going so we should know about anything soon. Also, one of your wives needs you. The blue one who works for the performance team, Fleet…something."

Blitz nods. "Okay, make sure we are paid up and ready to go soon." He said leaving.

Fleetfoot sighs as she lays down on the bed and tries to close her eyes, but then looks to her desk again. "Why?" She asks herself as she got up and heads to it and opens a drawer and takes something out before sitting down. She presses her lips together as she looks to her last true photo taken by her mother before they could truly leave and go their separate ways. "I still miss you."

Fleetfoot leans her head back as she closes her eyes and remembers it all. "Come on Shriek. We're almost there." She opens her eyes and finds herself young and the town before she left it and she was heading past the mine and to the lake nearby. "Come on." She said jumping over a dead log.

Shriek, one of her friends, tried to jump after her. "Slow down, you know I'm not fast like you." She said, trying to keep up.

Fleetfoot giggles as she kept running. "Slowpoke. How are you going to race with me if you don't keep up?"

Shriek grins. "By cheating, you know that."

Fleetfoot just gives her a look. "And they would kick you out sooner than uncle Glider."

Shriek groans as she dodges a tumbleweed that hasn't broken off yet. "You know he's nice to me."

Fleetfoot opens her wings and flaps her wings pretty fast to hover while looking backwards at her. "And you know he hates us when together."

Shriek giggles. "And that you are the worst liar you are."

Fleetfoot frowns. "Hey, I'm a great liar." She said before her back hoof hits a log and she flips in the air before circling right side up and sliding backwards. "That was close. I can't explain another cut like last time."

Shriek frowns. "Why can't I do that?" She asks with her wings fluttering in irritation.

Fleetfoot smirks. "Because I'm good. Now let's go." She said before running off. "Ahhhhhh!" She yelled as she slides down a slope and soon splashed into water. She gasped as she brought her head back up and looks around to find herself in the lake. "All right. Come on in Shriek, the water's great." Fleetfoot said as she splashed around.

Shriek frowns as she looks to the water. "Are you sure…this is clear?"

Fleetfoot gives a raspberry. "Of course I'm sure, now get in."

Shriek groans as she places a hoof in before following with the rest of her. "Hum…not bad." She said to herself.

Fleetfoot smiles. "Told you. Now let's find that treasure." She said before taking a deep breath and diving into the water.

Shriek sighs and takes a deep breath before diving too. She opens her eyes and finds Fleetfoot swimming down into the cavern below and swims after her. As her lungs burned up from lack of oxygen she saw finally catches up to Fleetfoot and they soon surface. "Geez, warn me how much time we are doing next time!" Shriek…shrieked.

Fleetfoot smiles. "There's the Shriek I know. Now come on, we're close if I remember the map correctly." She said swimming to the shore and heads into a tunnel.

Shriek groans out loud and swims out of the water and follows her. After following her for a bit, they came upon rail cart tracks. "If I'm right and I'm usually am." Fleetfoot said looking around.

"No you're not."

Fleetfoot starts pointing. "It should be, that way." She said pointing to the left and immediately trips. "Ow."

Shriek grins. "What's wrong, tripped on a rock?"

Fleetfoot groans as she got up. "No, just tripped on a…twig?" She asks looking at the offended twig.

Shriek looks before shrugging her shoulders. "Come on, let's hurry up and find that thing." She said walking past her. Fleetfoot sighs and follows, not noticing the twig glow blue. "So how deep is it in?" Shriek asks after a while.

Fleetfoot looks around. "It should be…here." She said heading into an area where the tracks end and into a dead end. "Now let's dig." She said picking up a shovel left behind.

Shriek groans at the thought of digging, but grabs a pickaxe and started to dig with her, not seeing wood pieces glow blue before being dragged off. "Yes! I can't believe it, we did it!" Fleetfoot cheered as she pulled out a locked box.

Shriek sighs and smiles before pulling out her bobby pins in her mane. "Okay, there is where the master lock picker gets to work." She said making the bobby pins to what she needed them to be.

Fleetfoot couldn't stand still. "I can't believe we're going to be finding the rare papers and finally own this mine."

Shriek smiles as she starts working on the lock. "Yeah, yeah, just remember, half and half."

Fleetfoot nods. "Yeah, sure, but a whole mine. Some say that the veins in this mine still have gold and silver. Just think of what we could do."

Shriek then frowns. "You know they shut this place down because of the unstable roof and everything."

Fleetfoot grins as she almost readies to pounce. "But now with the techniques they have today, we won't have to worry."

Shriek rolls her eyes. "Just one more tumbler." She said fiddling with it. Fleetfoot starts jumping around. "Fleetfoot, I can't concentrate with you breathing down my neck." Shriek said as she almost got the last one.

"Um…I'm over here." Fleetfoot said in front of her and waving.

Shriek pauses and looks behind her slowly to see a wooden snout that snorted a putrid wooden smell. "Ahhhhh!" Shriek yelled as she lets go of the lock and barrels backwards right beside Fleetfoot. "A…a…a…timberwolf!"

Fleetfoot hugs Shriek as they close their eyes and wait for the blow, but she then opens her eyes and sees it trying to walk to them, but it's limping. "Wha…?"

Shriek looks to the exit and the timberwolf. "Come on, let's grab the box and get out of here." She said frantically pulling on Fleetfoot's hoof.

Fleetfoot remained lock in place as the timberwolf growls and tries to get to them, but couldn't as it still limped and it couldn't go much before falling a bit. What's more is that the green glow was actually blue. She leans her head over and sees its back leg missing some pieces. "But, they get all the pieces." She said to herself before grabbing the shovel.

"Yeah, yeah, kill it!" Shriek yelled as she stayed where she was.

Fleetfoot looks to the shovel and then the timberwolf as it looks at her, trying to growl and scare her away. Fleetfoot breathes in and closes her eyes before bringing the shovel down and break the handle and then again and again until pieces about the size of each leg part was made. "Here." Fleetfoot said moving the pieces to it.

Shriek just blanches at this. "What are you doing?!" Shriek shrieks.

Fleetfoot just smiles as the timberwolf looks to the pieces of wood and then back to her before taking a big breath and blows on the wood. Fleetfoot sighs in relief as she watches the wood pieces glow blue before forming onto the timberwolf's leg. "There we go, feel better?" She asks, still not trying anything else at this point.

The timberwolf just stares at her. "Come on, let's go." Shriek said pulling at Fleetfoot's leg.

Fleetfoot frown. "Fine. Bye now." She said smiling to the timberwolf before walking away with Shriek who was carrying the box.

The timberwolf slowly got up as he tested his leg slightly as he watches the two leave.

Shriek breathes out carefully as they head around a corner and looks to Fleetfoot. "That was close. What were you thinking?"

Fleetfoot shrugs. "Thinking I should help, it looked hurt."

Shriek pushes her. "Dang it Fleet, one of these days, you're going to get me killed."

Fleetfoot smiles. "At least I helped him."

Shriek frowns. "And maybe helped him get us killed easier."

Fleetfoot stops her. "We have to find another way out or this box might get wet."

Shriek looks to the box. "Oh yeah, but how the heck are we going to…is that light?"

Fleetfoot looks behind them and sees a ray of light shining from the entrance. "Yeah." She said following it with Shriek behind her.

They walk for a bit before ending up at the entrance of the cave which have been dug out. "This thing was sealed up, how did this happen?" Shriek asks, looking at the town beyond.

Fleetfoot thinks for a few before perking her ears up and looks behind her to see a blue glow behind a corner of the cave. "Let's just take it. We got a mine to own." She said walking out and heading to town.

Shriek becomes a bit worried before running after her. "Wait up!"

The timberwolf blinks as he watches them leave and looks to his fixed leg and sniffing it for a few seconds and remembers the smell.

Fleetfoot moans as she rolls her head around. "Trikal." She whispered out.

"Fleetfoot?" Spitfire asks.

Fleetfoot opens her eyes and finds Spitfire sitting by her. "Oh sir, sorry, must have dozed off." She said rubbing her eyes.

"We called off the mission and are now at a port." Spitfire explains to Fleetfoot as she felt something laying beside her.

Fleetfoot looks over and sees Terran laying beside her. "Hey boy, you need something?" She asks trying to smile and pets his head.

"I found him here laying beside you." Spitfire tells her.

Fleetfoot smiles and rubs his head. "Thanks boy, but you can go. I'm fine."

"So interested in the port?" Spitfire asks.

Fleetfoot sits up. "Sure, might as well go see what's going on."

"Fleetfoot?" Blitz asks opening the door.

"Oh and there is my escort." Fleetfoot says jumping onto Blitz.

Blitz chuckles and looks to see a photo and Terran on the bed. "Can we have some time alone you two?" He asks stepping aside with Fleetfoot looking a bit worried. Spitfire nods and heads out with Terran on her heels before she closes the door behind her. "You still thinking about him?" He asks looking at the photo.

"Yes." Fleetfoot says rubbing her head against him.

Blitz sighs. "What were you thinking about?"

Fleetfoot looks to the photo. "Me and my old friend Shriek went into the old mine to find the deed. Ended up finding the box and Trikal, the timberwolf. Course, we found part of the deed, that's good."

Blitz smiles. "You end up owning the mine?"

Fleetfoot brings her head down. "Yeah, on the building outside the mine. Fat load of good that did."

"Now you, along with me, own the entire town." Blitz says starting to pet her.

Fleetfoot kept her head down as she leans into his petting. "I just wish…he was here."

"You laid him to rest Fleetfoot. You did all you could for him and even got back at the one who did wrong by you." Blitz says.

Fleetfoot smiles a little. "Yeah, but…I wish I never let him go. We could have found a place. Somewhere where we could have a chance."

"Maybe, but you can't keep beating yourself up about what could have been. It will just bring you pain." Blitz says holding her now.

Fleetfoot leans into his chest, trying to not show her face. "Blitz?"

"Yes love?" Blitz asks.

Fleetfoot looks slightly to the door. "Can I have Terran for a few days?"

"Just don't do anything inappropriately. I'm the only one allowed to have you." Blitz says.

Fleetfoot smiles and nuzzles his chest. "Thanks Blitz."

"Anything for one of my girls. Now any chance you will tell me the order of turns you are all taking?" Blitz asks sneakily.

Fleetfoot giggles. "You're going to have to work for that. Now let's see this port." She said getting out from under his hoof and heading for the door.

"It's a space station." Blitz calls.

Fleetfoot just giggles.

"You're sure you don't want to come Spike?" Twilight asks as most of the crew headed to the airlock.

"Well seeing as the crew informed me that Omega is mostly just crime, yes." Spike says.

Twilight sighs. "Okay, just watch the fillies." She said seeing them stare and play on the big screen.

Spike waves her off. "Yeah, yeah." He said now on another game.

Twilight smiles before following the rest of the crew and family and meets everyone outside, most of the crew heading off to where they want. "So what now?" She asks Blitz as he messes with a map.

"To see the queen of Omega." Blitz says.

Everyone looks confused as they follow Blitz and sees a long line for a, what looks like, a private party. "You sure we can go in?" Applejack asks seeing the line and they are just walking to the door.

"She is expecting me." Blitz says as he just passes by the bouncer.

Blitz smiles as he hears the ones in line cry out. "Oh boy." He said as they head down the hall and into the one place his girls never thought they would be in. "What the heck?!" Applejack asks.

"It's a club." Blitz says walking straight to the V.I.P. section.

"One moment." An alien that the girls didn't recognize says as it starts scanning them.

Twilight leans over to Blitz. "Um…?" She asks carefully pointing to it.

"He's a Batarian." Blitz says.

The Batarian huffs and stops scanning. "Aria will see you now." He said taking the gun in hand to a guard position again.

Blitz nods and walks up the stairs with the girls still looking around and find Aria on her favorite couch and playing something. "You're playing a video game?"

Aria scoffs. "After your fiasco, I need to brush up." She said putting the controller down and nodding her head to side at him.

"So it has been awhile Aria." Blitz says trying to avoid addressing something as he sat down on the other side of the couch.

Aria huffs. "Remember what I said the first time we met Cross?" Blitz nods. "Don't fuck with Aria. Now tell me what's going on."

"Mandalore made me the leader of a new clan. As one of our first mission we were sent to find the missing sister ship of my new ship docked with your station." Blitz says.

Aria scoffs. "Yeah, of course your kind would lose stuff. Now I don't have to worry about getting private ventilation, do I?" She asks glaring at him.

"I doubt it. By the way, meet some of my wives and before you ask, the male to female ratio is like one to seven for my species right now." Blitz says.

Aria chuckles as she sees the mares all huddled up together. "Congratulations, you just became me, well close enough on one level."

"Ah ha ha ha." Blitz laughs sarcastically.

Aria smiles. "So what else do you need?"

"Nothing much, our techs are just overhauling the hyper drive. You know how it is with a new ship." Blitz says.

Aria waves him off. "Then you better get out of here and handle the rest of your business. I'm sure you got deals to take care of."

"Yeah, see you around Aria." Blitz says leaving.

Aria just watches as he leaves with the girls and goes back to playing her game.

Blitz sighs as he heads down and goes into the door under the section to the market place. "Well that went well."

"What's the story between you two?" Applejack asks.

"She tried to make me into her pet once because she found me cute. When she learnt I was sentient it was just awkward." Blitz says.

Rainbow snickers. "Cute?"

"Aria species is the Asari and they are an all-female species." Blitz says.

Twilight gets confused. "Then…how do they…?" She tries to ask as she pushes her hooves together.

"Look it up back on the ship." Blitz says embarrassed.

Applejack leans in. "You did it, didn't you?"

"No." Blitz says flatly.

Applejack grins and hooks a hoof around him. "Good, because you're ours."

"Yeah, yeah." Blitz says walking along with them following.

Spike yawns as he finally beats the game and lays back. "Finally, that's my fifteenth game. My personal record."

Scootaloo huffs. "Don't flatter yourself, we're catching up."

Spike smiles. "Keep trying and watch that open…" He hears a splat. "Panel."

"What are you four doing?" Octavia ask walking in with Shadow.

Spike sighs. "Playing some games and killing time. Want to play?"

"No thanks, I got other matters to take care of." Octavia says.

Shadow smiles. "I'll play, what do you got?"

"What you want?" Spike asks as Octavia gets a glass of water.

Shadow grins and jumps onto the couch. "Something horror. Right my fillies?" She asks with a creepy face to them. The three eeped and clung to Spike. Shadow just giggles.

Octavia sighs as she heard the banter and heads past the news room. "Crazy mare." She said to herself as the lights go off and some of the screens gain some static as she heads up.

"We going to continue our seminars later?" Shadow asks.

Octavia groans. "Yeah!" She yelled as the door closes on her and she goes up.

Shadow smiles as she turns back to the screen. "Looks creepy and that's one creepy bathroom."

Spike chuckles as the kitchen lights go out and they didn't notice. "Yeah, heard most players don't go into their bathroom after doing this."

Shadow laughs. "Really, scared them this much?" She asks as some of the room's lights start to go out.

Minutes later. "Wasn't that bad." Shadow says as all four stared at her.

Spike sighs and puts the controller down. "For me yeah, those three, nope." He said looking to the fillies huddled together.

"Yeah, if I remember correctly, sees bunking with some of the wonderbolts." Shadow says.

Spike sighs as he watches the screen gain some static. "Dang it, now?" He said heading to the screen and watches as the lights and screen go off and they can see a white mare and black maned and tail in a black business suit in the reflection with no face and just a white coat with some black tendrils moving behind it. "Slendermane." He whispered fearfully.

Shadow grabs the fillies and gets out and Spike follows except he is stopped as a black tendril blocks the door. He looks slowly toward Slendermane as it walks to him. "Wha…what do you want?" He asks covering himself.

"Boo." Minerva's voice says.

Spike looks up. "Minerva?" He asks accusingly.

The Slendermane image flickers before it shuts down to reveal her body. "Hi there." She said smiling.

"Oh that was such a good prank." Shadow says.

Spike glares at her. "You knew?"

"No, just saying." Shadow says letting go of the fillies.

Spike sighs. "How do you know the legend anyway?"

"I did a lot of research on the planet." Minerva says smirking.

Spike frowns. "Not funny."

Minerva giggles. "Funny to us."

Shadow laughs as she steps up to her. "Oh yeah, we mares rock." She said hooking a leg around her.

'When is Blitz going to get back so they won't be focusing on me?' Spike thinks.

The fillies grab him and lifts him up before placing him on the couch. They give him the controller and they lean against him. "You want us gone?" Applebloom whispered.

"I'm mad at those two, not you three." Spike says.

Sweetie Belle smiles and lightly nuzzles him. "Well that's good, but you have to admit, that's a good prank."

Spike huffs as he starts playing again. "Not to me."

"Hey Malgus, you here?" Blitz calls opening the door.

"Ow!" They heard as they hear a crash from behind a desk. They look over and see an alien like Meratan come up with parts over him. "Dang it man. How many times have I told you not to come into my sleeping time?!"

"Yeah, yeah." Blitz says dismissively.

Malgus groans. "What do you want?" He asks as he rubs his head.

"Well to inform you, you will be starting to provide stuff for an entire clan now. Mandalore has made me a chief of a clan." Blitz says.

The group could have sworn they heard a cash register sound. "Really?" Malgus asks wide eyed.

"Yes, you know what that means." Blitz says.

Malgus laughs and messes with something on the desk. "Have fun." He said before his whole back wall opens up and reveals a whole assortment of armor and weapons. "Just tell me what you need."

"Oh, are those an M-99 Saber and a Salarian STG Scorpion I see?" Blitz asks.

Malgus grins. "Oh yeah, fresh off the line."

"How did you get the Scorpion? That is supposed to be top secret gear?" Blitz asks.

Malgus shrugs. "Found it."

"You took it off a corpse of a salarian you or your boys killed then." Blitz says picking up the Saber.

Malgus smiles. "I have no idea what you are talking about."

"I'll take them both." Blitz says.

Malgus chuckles. "I thought you might. Want the old Avenger rifle?" He asks pointing to a gun on the wall all alone.

"Yeah, never can have too many good guns lying around, also I want you to get me a hundred N7-Valkyrie for my crew." Blitz says causing Malgus to whistle.

"Really, that big a crew?" He asks.

"You heard the new ship that just docked?" Blitz asked.

Malgus huffs. "No, that's you?"

"The newest Mandalorian ship, the Darkline." Blitz says.

Malgus grins. "Want some upgrades for that sweet piece of ass?"

"Maybe, come on board for an hour." Blitz says.

Malgus smiles. "Try the shopkeeper next door. He's your ship man for upgrades. Though, I can do weapons and recommend armor for ships. Basic, after that, it's him if you want to stick with it."

"I'm offering you to come onto it and see it. After all, you will be supplying the Blitzkrieg clan's arsenal." Blitz says.

Malgus sighs. "Fine, just don't have them shoot me. I don't have to remind you about last time."

Blitz looks innocent. "That was a mistake."

Malgus glares at him. "You turned my shop into swiss cheese."

"And inadvertently saved you from a few blood pack goons." Blitz reminds.

Malgus points at him. "Doesn't excuse hurting my baby." He said as she starts to shine one of the weapons with a rag.

"Hey at least it got another kill when it smashed the vorcha's head in." Blitz says.

Malgus scoffs. "Like I said, doesn't excuse it."

"Just go and don't hit on my second in command, she has a kid." Blitz says.

Malgus grimaces. "Please, I don't go for those with kids. Nice, but brings down the flair."

Blitz sighs as he watches the relay system spin around after dealing with Omega. "Twilight, did you ever think you wouldn't be here?" He asks her as she sat on his lap in his room.

"Sometimes and mostly it would be without you." Twilight says smiling.

Blitz smiles. "And you never thought you would be with somepony, did you?" He asks rubbing her cutie mark.

Twilight shakes her head. "No and I'm not regretting it."

"You might come to regret it with me. So are you making any plans to receive the next addition to our family?" Blitz asks.

Twilight looks to him. "What are you talking about?"

"I told you already, Octavia is in the first stage pregnancy." Blitz says.

Twilight sighs. "We're making a foal room, but it's going to be hard for all of us now."

"Yeah, especially since it will be like Vinyl. A Dhampir." Blitz says.

Twilight looks worried to him. "Are you ready?"

"I'm unsure, but you know we are going to have to rely heavily on Vinyl's advice on it and I don't think she has been informed about it yet." Blitz says.

"Why is that?" Twilight asks.

"If she had she would be knocking down that door." Blitz says.

Twilight sighs and leans her head into his neck. "Blitz, are you ready to be a father?"

"I don't know. I'm not sure if any are truly ready to be a father." Blitz says as they start hearing banging on the door.

Twilight smiled a little. "Shouldn't you open the door?"

"Vinyl, just tell the door to open." Blitz calls.

The door opens and Vinyl rushes in and jumps onto the bed. "Octy is pregnant?"

"I know, she told me already and I'm in here thinking it over." Blitz says looking at his helmet on the table.

Vinyl and Twilight follows his gaze. "What exactly are you thinking about?" Twilight asks seeing the helmet.

"If my life experience have prepared me enough." Blitz says as he feels Vinyl climb onto him.

Vinyl nuzzles him. "Are you worried because it will be a vampire?"

"No, not that. I'm worried about being a father and it will be a dhampir and speaking of which, Vinyl, you are going to help raise it." Blitz says.

Vinyl nods. "Don't have a choice since you don't know how to raise one."

"Yeah, I'm an expert and yet all I know is the differences between Vampires and dhampir." Blitz say.

Vinyl smiles. "Yes, yes you do." She said starting to nuzzle his chest. "Are you ready, ready to be a real part of the family?"

"I'm unsure. For the first time in my life, I'm unsure of what to do next." Blitz says.

Twilight and Vinyl nuzzles him. "It's okay, we're there for you." Twilight said.

"And I thought you two were still at odds with each other." Blitz says looking at Vinyl to find she wasn't wearing her glasses.

Vinyl smiles as she looks to the smiling Twilight. "We thought it would be best for the foals coming in to not be at odds and ends of each other."

"That's good and I noticed you snuck into Aria's club." Blitz says.

Vinyl grins. "I tried out a bit of dancing and boy did I gain some tips."

"You stay away from the Asari dancing on stage." Blitz says.

Vinyl giggles. "You won't believe how much they go for a pony plot."

"Yeah, Asari can pursue anything." Blitz says.

Vinyl giggles. "Want me to do a private dance?"

"No, I prefer to just have you." Blitz says.

Vinyl frowns. "Aw, why not?"

"Because it's more fun for both of us to be together literally connected." Blitz says.

Vinyl blushes a bit as Twilight blushes a lot. "Dang it Blitz. Don't you ever think about what to say?" Twilight asks.

"Yes and I finally got Vinyl back with an innuendo." Blitz says smirking.

Vinyl grins. "So what are you going to do now?"

"I will wait till the techs are done with overhauling the hyper drive then call Mandalore and inform him what happened. He won't be happy with losing the ship and getting no resources, but in a no win situation he will understand." Blitz says.

Twilight smiles. "That's good, but after that?"

"He probably will give us a new mission." Blitz says.

Vinyl moves up beside him. "And what are we going to do while we're staying here?"

"I'm open to suggestions besides the drugs." Blitz says.

Twilight smiles. "We'll send up a mare for you."

"Why, I got two right here? Unless you want to tell me the order you girls are going by." Blitz says smiling.

Both Twilight and Vinyl smiles. "Sorry Blitz, you have to work for it." Vinyl said.

Blitz frowns. "Now you girls aren't being fair to me. I thought I was your husband?"

"You are, but remember we are royalty." Twilight says.

Blitz sighs. "Then how about telling your prince?"

"Nope." They say sarcastically.

Blitz groans. "Just get out of here you two."

"No can do, we have things to talk about." Vinyl says.

Blitz frowns. "What?"

"Well for one, vampires need lots of blood when they reach a stage of pregnancy to keep the baby healthy." Vinyl says.

Blitz looks worried to her. "What?"

"Yeah, it's like eating healthy to normal ponies." Vinyl says.

Blitz groans. "Great, let's hope they infirmary has enough blood packs for me."

"It will be the same for me." Vinyl says nuzzling his neck.

Blitz sighs. "Thanks for being there for me."

"What would you do without me?" Vinyl asks.

Blitz presses his lips together. "Maybe not live well. You're one of my mares."

"You know it." She says playfully tapping his chest.

Blitz smiles. "Can you give me something marshmallow?"

Vinyl growls lowly as Twilight giggles.

Blitz chuckles and shows his neck to her while he looks to Twilight. "How about I feed you for a bit?"

"Oh, so make fun of me then feed me huh? Alright you get away with it this time." Vinyl says.

Blitz smiles. "Well, want to drink?"

"Sorry, too bloody for me." Twilight jokes.

Blitz holds a hoof behind her neck. "Then how about a kiss for you?"

"I'm for that." Twilight says holding him down while Vinyl bites him.

Blitz clenches his teeth before calming down and then Twilight kisses him as some blood drips down his neck and Vinyl tries to lick up most of them. Twilight sighs as she lets go of the kiss for a bit. "Doesn't that hurt?" She asks as she sees his blood starting to smear all over his neck.

"I'm used to pain." Blitz says before Twilight taps her horn to his.

Blitz takes a sharp breath as he feels the spark. "Still can't get use to that."

Twilight smiles a bit as she just sends magic through her horn and into his. "How about that?"

Blitz gulps. "Shocking, literally."

Twilight gives a kiss to his nose. "Good. Do you love both of us?"

"I thought that was a given and you half mad we haven't been continuing my magic lessons, aren't you?" Blitz says before starting to laugh nervously.

Twilight smirks. "Vinyl, bite him harder."

Blitz yelps as he feels neck being tighten. "I'm sorry." He tries to say.

Twilight strokes his head. "Your lessons are over. We can keep working on the relationship lesson though. You still need to get use to us."

Blitz strokes Vinyl's mane as a way to get her to lighten up. "Okay, I'll do it."

Twilight taps Vinyl's head. "Lighten up now, we got a new school lesson for him."

"It just occurred to me I never thanked you Twi." Blitz says.

"For what, teaching you something else besides whole use telekinesis with your magic and shooting it?" Twilight asks.

"Well…yes." Blitz says embarrassed.

Twilight smiles. "Marrying me and being with all of us is enough. I think that's a good thank you for me and the rest of us."

"Wait, he couldn't do what?" Vinyl asks smirking.

Blitz groans. "Okay, I can't use my magic that well."

"Oh, I am going to get so much mileage out of this." Vinyl says smiling, Blitz's blood still on her lips.

Blitz frowns. "Just keep going."

"Which reminds me, we are going to keep you magic skills brushed up. No husband of mine is going to be a slouch." Twilight says as Vinyl mimics what she did earlier.

Blitz closes his eyes. "Yeah, keep bringing down your important stallion. Let me feel me feel like I'm a little foal who isn't going to make it in life."

"We are just having fun with you. Now I believe it is about time for somepony's turn." Twilight says.

Blitz looks to her. "Who?"

Vinyl smiles and licks his neck to stop the blood. "Next one up is Spitfire and she want you to wear another version of that Wonderbolt outfit Shadow game you. It's supposed to be a Shadowbolt uniform."

"It doesn't have the same enchantment does it?" Blitz asks.

"No, she just wants to role-play a bit." Twilight says.

Blitz chuckles. "What, being attacked by the Shadowbolts and then raped by one?"

"No, more like showing who is dominate." Vinyl says smirking as they get up.

Blitz grins as he puts on his clothes. "Really, geez. She is like Shadow, but without more stallions."

"What was that?" Spitfire asks.

Blitz shot up. "Oh Spitfire, how long were you there?" He asks nervously.

"A few minutes, now come here you." Spitfire said with a medical box.

Blitz groans as Twilight and Vinyl leave as Spitfire starts to work on him and they head for the elevator which comes up and Shadow comes in and places an outfit on a nearby table before following Twilight and Vinyl back down. "Have fun." She said before the door closed.

"Whoa, she bit you harder than usual." Spitfire says bandaging his neck.

Blitz sighs. "It was the least I could do for her. Besides, Twilight ordered her to bite harder."

"I'll talk to her later, but for now we have some time alone." Spitfire says.

Blitz smiles. "Yeah, we do. But why do you want to be dominated?"

"Oh you misunderstand. We Wonderbolts dominate you Shadowbolts." Spitfire says smirking.

Blitz chuckles as he gets up and grabs the uniform. "Really now? Want to really test that theory?" He asks looking over the uniform.

"Yeah, I am and when we get back to our home planet, we have a special surprise for you." Spitfire says.

Blitz smiles as he puts on the uniform. "And you're not going to tell me what it is or the order of you mares?"

"No, I just don't want to spoil the surprise now." Spitfire stops and pushes Blitz onto his back and holds him down on the bed. "Let's play."

Blitz smirks. "Been waiting for a while." He said before trying to lunge for her.

Spike grins as he cheers and finally puts the controller down. "Finally."

The fillies on the couch watches as he played through whole game in one sitting. "Spike, how many games have you been playing and finished?" Scootaloo asks concerned.

Spike thinks for a few. "I think…around thirty."

The fillies look surprised at him. "What?"

Spike shrugs. "Yeah, its gets easier as you play more and more."

Sweetie Belle tilts her head. "And since when did you start?"

Spike smiles. "Since I got my first tablet and that was for collecting all of the books in Twilight's library. I was able to finish two games before Twilight took it away and when Minerva gave me my own, I finished at least ten before Blitz told me about this place."

Scootaloo hops down beside him. "Wow, so how much are you planning to do?"

Spike grins. "As many as I like."

Sweetie Belle hops down on the other side. "And how long would that take?"

Spike thinks for a few. "At least seven hours at most for one game. So keep the number as average for most of the games I play. So seven times thirty is…two hundred and ten hours of work already."

The fillies stared wide eyed at him. "Wow, and you're going to play the best games for even longer?"

Spike chuckles. "Heck yeah I will. As long Twilight doesn't give me work, but the chores are mostly library stuff and since everything is already being taken care of, there isn't much."

Applebloom hops down onto his head and he struggles to keep her steady. "Well you still have to cook."

Spike then thinks about it. "Oh yeah, I do. I wonder what I should make next." He asks himself.

The three fillies close in to him. "How about a chocolate cupcake with sprinkles?" Scootaloo asks.

The other two nod as Spike thinks. "Okay, I can have it ready in an hour. Want some?"

The three look to each other. "Nah." They said together before looking back to him. "So how about our next mission? What's next on the list?" Sweetie Belle asks.

Spike shrugs. "I don't know, I don't make the missions."

They all groan or sigh as they waste time now before hearing somepony walk by and sees Blitz. "Maybe we'll get one soon." Spike said as he watch him head down the hall.

Blitz cracks his neck and rubs at it as he tries to get rid of the crink from laying down too much. "Boy, she can really put you into the bed." He said to himself as he waited for the call to be answered.

"Okay Cross, what do you…are you alright?" Mandalore asks as he sees the state he's in.

Blitz chuckles. "Just a little thing called wives at night."

Mandalore smiles. "Alright, can't hold women back for you. Trust me, I know. Like that woman who was after you during training. At least she found someone. Any case, what do you got for me?"

Blitz sighs. "Well I'm going to be blunt. We found and lost the ship. Turns out Dead Space became real and they encountered the first ship from the series. Became infected and killed most of the crew. Had to evacuate them and put them in quarantine. Right now, we're in Omega and refilling everything we can and now preparing for anything at this point. Also, we blew up a star system."

Mandalore stares at him before closing his eyes and pinching the bridge between his eyes. "Cross, what am I going to do with you?" He asks rhetorically. "Alright." He said finally as he throws his hand up. "As for destroying a star system and the ship, you got another mission. This one is going to be more fun at least. You're heading to planet Noli. A team of scientists want the best team to collect some samples and information. Maybe something boring would make the right payment for you."

Blitz looks down and sighs. "Okay, when do I need to be there?"

Mandalore smiles a little. "In a week's time does it expire. So you better get it done. This isn't as fun, but it pays a lot."

Blitz nods. "Yes sir."

Mandalore watches him as he turns and heads out. "Hey." He said making him stop. "Don't forget about family." He said before cutting the communication.

Blitz takes a small look behind him. "Yeah." He said to himself before heading out and just ended up heading to the weapons room. "Okay, collection and information gathering. Please tell me you got something good enough to keep us awake while there." He asks the crew there.

"Well there is rumors of some large predators roaming the area." One of the crew says.

"Perfect, we can get some hunting in." Blitz says.

One of the crew nods. "Yes it can be, but if you need something during the collection time, try this." He said showing a large scanner that looked extremely bulky.

"Ok, then give me an estimate on how long till the engineers are ready." Blitz says.

The other crew member sighs. "At least a few more days and it'll be ready to go online again."

Blitz nods. "Okay, now ready the collection systems for us and the ship just in case." He said while looking at the weapons on the wall.

The weapons master smirks. "See anything you like?"

"Yes, yes, y…OMG. Is that a black widow sniper rifle?" A crew member asks.

The weapons master laughs. "Yes it is. Mandalore asked for every single type of weapon we had in the whole arsenal to be placed here. At least one of each and your crew able to hold each of the highest mass produced ones." He said cleaning a pistol.

"Well get ready to have a lot of N7 Valkyries to be added to the arsenal." Blitz says.

The weapons master looks to him. "Really, a new shipment coming in? Already?"

Blitz waves him off. "Eh, don't worry. He's a good supplier."

The weapons master raises an eyebrow. "If you say so."

"Anyways, I want them all inspected and handed out to each member. I'm going to check on our survivors." Blitz says heading out.

The weapons master watches as he leaves and grabs a valkyrie off the wall. "Soldier! Get this weapon calibrated and ready the systems to do the same to the shipment!" He orders tossing it to him.

Blitz smiles a bit as he heads inside the infirmary. "Okay, what do we got?"

The head nurse looks to the chief. "Well, mostly normal readings, blood work is fine, no diseases, no signs of anything being placed in them, then there is the psych evals and surprisingly they are fine, but they are shaken up."

Blitz looks to the rescued crew. "So no problems?"

The nurse leans down to him. "We'll keep an eye on them in case of anything happening." She whispered.

Blitz nods. "After a while of evaluations, check their records and then send everything you got to me. I want to know if they will be ready for work again."

"Yes chief." The nurse says.

"Alright, listen up you nine. I just got word from Mandalore you are to be transferred into my clan after you are cleared by the medical staff." Blitz says.

The crew looks grateful at them. "Thanks sir." One said.

"Don't be, you have a while to go before you are cleared." Blitz says as the nurse walks up to one.

The crew member nods. "Yes sir. Question, where would we be if we do?"

"I will review your records and then decide. Though most likely you will be given positions like what you had on your former ship." Blitz says.

Another member nodded. "Thank you sir. It was kinda boring on there."

"Well I will leave you to the medical professionals and remember, don't joke around or do anything stupid. The medical staff has been told to activate the incendiary function of your force cages should they think you are infected." Blitz warns.

The crew members grimaces a bit as Blitz starts to walk away. "You think he's serious?" One asks another.

"The chief isn't joking." The nurse informs.

All the crew members look to each scared out of their minds. "Has he…played a videogame before?" One asks.

"Most of us have." The nurse says.

"Oh dear."

Blitz sighs as he lays down. "I have such a bad feeling about what comes next." Blitz says.

"Ah, you worry too much." Pinkie says.

"Hey Pinkie." Blitz says as he feels her start to massage his back.

Pinkie smiles. "Hi Blitzy, what's wrong exactly?"

Blitz sighs. "Just a bad feeling. Like there is a pressure on me that gets heavier and heavier as we get closer and closer to the planet."

"Don't worry, your wife Pinkie will take care of you." Pinkie says.

Blitz smirks. "Are you next in line?"

Pinkie smiles. "Yep, but maybe after this whole mission. This pressure maybe can help, especially here." She said tapping in between his legs.

"Speaking of pressure. Pinkie, why don't you like being called by your full name Pinkamena?" Blitz ask as he feels her lay on top of him.

Pinkie smiles sadly a bit as she nuzzles him. "It's sort of my old life, doesn't matter anymore. Still see my family through, like Maud."

"Yeah…her." Blitz says laughing nervously.

Pinkie giggles. "Come on, Maud…"

Chapter 1 (Part 4): The Darkness of the Galaxy

Blitz sighs as he drinks his coffee. "No, having to deal with idiots trying to sue and no guards trying to imprison my mares for something they didn't do. Just relaxing." Blitz says stretching out on the comfortable chair.

Twilight just looks at him. "I just asked what you wanted for breakfast."

"Oh love, I thought you left already." Blitz says noticing her.

Twilight smiles. "Can't leave with my husband and prince hungry."

"I'm good. Why don't you join me on this chair?" Blitz offers.

Twilight sighs and sits down on his lap. "Nice, but could be better."

"I'm just happy for some peace and quiet." Blitz says smiling.

Twilight nuzzles him. "I am too, but what do you want to do while we're like this?"

"You're telling me you are not still sore from last night?" Blitz asks.

Twilight giggles and licks his cheek. "Silly."

"So you are sore then." Blitz says starting to hold her.

Twilight smiles and keeps nuzzling him. "Yeah, just hold me and place one…" She said moving his hoof to her cutie mark. "Here."

"Done." Blitz says holding her.

Twilight giggles. "You know, you were pretty intimidating in that suit of yours. I felt like I was being attacked."

"Oh, miss innocent librarian attacked, huh?" Blitz asks.

Twilight starts licking his ear. "Yeah, that one big stallion soon turned into many and all of them holding me down while you went at me. I was pretty scared." She whispered.

"And you were moaning the entire time, begging me to keep going." Blitz says smirking.

Twilight giggles. "Think we could do something like that again, but this time as me as a student?"

"Would you prefer it if I was the student and you were the teacher?" Blitz asks.

Twilight smiles. "Maybe so many students I could teach?"

"For extracurricular?" Blitz asks.

Twilight licks her lips. "And me getting my clothes all wet."

"Ok, stop there. Wait for later to fantasize." Blitz says.

Twilight giggles. "How can I stop fantasizing about stallions staring at me like I'm a good piece of meat to use and pound up to be ready?"

"Because we don't want Vinyl and Octavia mad about messing up the couch." Blitz says.

Twilight sighs. "You better do that otherwise I might conjure up a stallion for me. Maybe more than one."

"I won't disappoint my wife." Blitz says starting to pet her.

Twilight purrs. "Good and don't hold back then."

"Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow…" They heard as they see Shadow coming down as she raises her hind legs more than usual. "Ow." Blitz smiles and picks her up with his magic. "Thanks. You really did a number on me. And that was a lot of numbers." She said trying to relax while floating towards them.

"You asked for it remember?" Blitz asks setting her beside them.

Shadow grins as she wraps her hooves around him. "Yeah, I did. And I don't regret a thing. So how about when we go for another round, we do it more roughly, like tearing off clothes and hitting me rough?"

"You want to be crippled?" Blitz asks.

Shadow giggles and hits him. "You know what I mean you back alley stallion waiting for a mare."

"Both of you?" Blitz asks.

Twilight smiles and traces her hoof on his chest. "Separate. You will do her one day and me the other. The thing is Blitzy, no heat for us yet and you got a long ways away for it."

"Oh boy." Blitz says with a little dread.

Shadow nuzzles him. "Relax, you can give us it by lovingly doing it. Nothing extreme, just us and time alone."

"Oh thank god." Blitz says.

Twilight starts licking his neck. "But if we ask for different, think you can do it?"

"We shall see Twi." Blitz says.

Twilight smiles and gets up. "Well, I have to get going. Think you can take care of yourself now?"

"Yeah." Blitz says.

Twilight nods and looks to Shadow. "Cook him something, something spicy. He likes that." She said walking away.

"I got to go myself soon after the soreness has faded." Shadow says.

Twilight smiles. "At least set it up. Bye guys." She said heading out the door.

"I'm just going to catch up on my sleep." Blitz says.

Shadow sighs and looks to him. "Alright, but I might not be here when you wake up. Vinyl and Octavia might be though."

"If so then I will know it, but I'm at least going to have my light blue pillow here with me for a while." Blitz says wrapping his hooves around her and laying his head on her.

Shadow smiles and kisses his cheek before opening a bit of her suit. "Here, listen if you want to sleep better."

Blitz smiles as he puts his ear to her soft fur and hears her heartbeat. "Yeah, I can hear it."

Shadow sighs as she watches him. "That's for you and our future foals."

"Only we can touch your coat?" Blitz asks.

Shadow smiles. "Yeah, after all, the only ones outside of doctors have you and our foals will see later. I have never taken off my outfit around others."

"Even when you and Spitfire were getting it on?" Blitz jokes.

Shadow lightly hits him. "She never saw. Just I saw her."

"Well, until recently you did see her out of uniform while we were on our trip." Blitz says.

Shadow smiles. "Yeah, we did. Still surprising that Spitfire has a fetish for tentacles."

"She has what now?" Blitz asks.

Shadow brings out a picture from her outfit and shows a picture of Spitfire in vines or what is supposed to be vines, sensually. "Tentacles. Me and her have the only photos from the studio that set this up."

"Ok, that I won't do." Blitz says.

Shadow sighs. "Well, there goes that. What are you going to do then?"

"Make her too busy preparing for an upcoming foal." Blitz says.

Shadow giggles. "Oh you, you really can make our life busy."

"You thought I would slow you all down?" Blitz asks smirking.

Shadow gets close to him. "No, not for any circumstance would you do that."

"Heck no, where is the fun in that?" Blitz says.

Shadow sighs and pulls him closer. "Head to sleep dear."

"Yes lover." Blitz says smiling.

Shadow nuzzles his head as he fell asleep before putting him down on the seat and heads off. "Good night love." She said heading out.

"So you think it is ready?" Twilight asks looking at the amulet.

Cadance looks it over. "We just need that final piece. Where the drone that Queen Chrysalis promised?"

"It should be here soon." Twilight says.

They soon hear a buzzing noise and the door opens by a guard and allows a changeling inside with a box on its back. "Twilight Sparkle?"

"Yes?" Twilight asks.

The drone places the box near them. "The item you requested. Please sign." He said holding out a clipboard and quill.

Twilight signs and the changeling flies away and she opens the package to see a vial of blue liquid. "Huh, so tiny." She said squinting her eyes at the little vial. "Don't make the snarky commit sister-in-law." Twilight says.

Cadance giggles. "Sorry, but you gotta admit it. So how big is he?"

"No comment, as I don't ask you about my brother." Twilight says.

Cadance keeps giggling as Twilight opens the vial and opens the necklace before pouring it inside before closing it. "There, that should do it."

"So all this just to give your husband wings?" Cadance asks.

Twilight smiles. "He always wanted to fly on his own and I'm going to give it like a wife should do. Help out with their husband."

"Oh, my little Twi has grown so much." Cadance says brimming with pride.

Twilight sighs. "And he's been down a little so now it's time to see how he would be when he could finally fly." She said picking up the amulet.

"So when can I expect little Nex and Lavey?" Cadance asks.

"Umm…" Twilight says freezing.

Cadance smiles and hugs her. "Oh its okay, I'm just teasing. Now when are you going to give it?"

"Soon, going to wait till all his pegasus wives have a break which will be soon. That way, they can teach him how to use the wings. Last thing I want is my husband getting hurt because of this." Twilight says.

Cadance smiles. "With his lifestyle that's inventible."

"Yes, that is a given, but I don't want a gift to end up putting him in the hospital." Twilight clarified.

Cadance sighs. "And he would still have a smile on his face for the amazing gift."

"Yes, but he also promised a day helping Rarity." Twilight says.

Cadance grins. "I wonder how that's going."

"Ow." Blitz said as Rarity pokes him again. "You would think with how many times I've had to use an injector those wouldn't affect me." Blitz says as Rarity used him as a model for a new outfit she was making.

Rarity licks the sweat off of her. "Hush now, I am in the zone as it is. Also, nice size." She said taking a peek at the two orbs.

"You would know all too well." Blitz says smirking.

Rarity giggles. "Yes I would since you let me get so close to have a taste."

"And let you have it a few times already." Blitz adds.

Rarity smiles. "And you left me full. Taste salty though."

"Well let's change the subject, don't want Sweetie Belle walking in on it." Blitz says.

Rarity suddenly comes up in front of him. "Too late. I'm hot and bothered. I'm going to need something." She whispered while waving her tail under him.

"Not right now love, you have work to do." Blitz says as Rarity felt an ice pack land on her flank.

Rarity sighs in relief. "Thanks dear, now where was I?" She asks looking back at the suit.

"You were about to work on the collar." Blitz says.

Rarity nods and goes to the collar. "Quite right, so you excited about your present?"

"Oh I'm anxious to know what it is. I'm not used to having no info on such things." Blitz says.

Rarity giggles. "Oh trust me, you're going to love it."

"Oh so you do know." Blitz says.

"Yes I do and no amount of service to me will make me talk." She said pinning the collar.

"Fair enough. So what is Dashie, Pinkie, and Flutter up to?" Blitz asks.

Rarity shrugs knowingly. "I don't know."

"Oh, yes you do." Blitz says knowingly.

"No I don't." She sang.

"Ok, how about just Pinkie because you didn't react to her name like you did to Dashie and Flutter." Blitz says.

Rarity giggles. "Sorry, Pinkie Promise."

"What, can't tell me how her work is coming?" Blitz asks.

Rarity taps his side. "Hush now. Now you get out of that suit." She said packing away some things.

"Ok…how do I do that?" Blitz asks lifting the ice pack off her with his magic.

Rarity just smirks. "Just take it off like a normal set of clothing."

"But what if I rip it in some way." Blitz says causing rarity to smile at his concern for her work.

She turns to him. "Anti-rip clothing sir."

"You think of everything don't you?" Blitz asks smirking.

Rarity smiles. "You can thank your material good sir."

"I rather thank you." Blitz says taking the clothes off.

Rarity sighs as her horn lights up a bit. "Blitz, do you know your dream?"

"The impossible one or the one where I build us all a house where we can raise all the foals and live in?" Blitz asks getting Rarity interested on the latter one.

She shakes her head. "No, the first one."

"Oh the impossible one. You know, thinking about it. It is kind of funny I married so many pegasus and that's my dream." Blitz says.

Rarity sighs and turns to him. "Out."

"Nope, I promised that I would help you all day and since Pinkie and the others are doing things that you can't tell me about I got nowhere else to be." Blitz says hugging her.

Rarity glares at him. "Out!" She yelled slapping and making let go. "Out! Out! Out!" She yelled as she pushed him to the door.

"Jeez, what did I do?" Blitz asks confused.

Rarity finally pushes him out the door. "Out." She said simply to which Blitz saw Twilight and Cadance standing outside.

"Uhh…what is this?" Blitz drones.

Twilight lifts up a necklace. "It's time."

"Huh?" Blitz asks completely confused before Twilight smiles and drags him off with Cadance.

"Sorry dear, it was the only way to get you out. I hope you can forgive me." Rarity calls.

"Explain it to me later." Blitz calls back.

Twilight smiles. "You won't need it." She said as they stop in the middle of town.

Blitz groans as he straightens himself up. "So what's going on?"

Twilight and Cadance both smile to each before looking back at him. "Here." Twilight said giving him the necklace.

Blitz, still heavily confused, takes it and puts it on. "So what's it supp…ow, ow, Ow, OW!" He started yelling as he felt pain in his horn and then a throbbing in his back. Blitz groans in pain as it went on before he stopped withered on the ground and tries to breathe.

"Looks like it works." Twilight said.

"It does, but his horn is gone." Cadance points out.

Blitz quickly opens his eyes and feels around his head and feels no horn. "What did you do?!" He yells as he somehow gained a wider shadow. He then looks to the shadow and then notices his has wings on the side. Looking at himself, he can see he gained wings and moves it slightly. He then just stops staring with wide eyes, not even blinking.

Twilight smiles brightly. "So…what do you…"

"YAHOO!" Blitz yells as he took off.

Twilight was just left laughing in the dust as Blitz actually started to fly around real fast than she expected.

Rainbow snores out loud as she rested on a lone cloud before a whistling sound was heard and she was then spun out of control. "What the…!"

"Hey Dashie." Blitz says standing on her cloud over her.

Rainbow smirks and stands up. "So the egghead did finish it." She said poking his chest.

"Yes she did." Blitz says pulling her into a hug which Rainbow noticed lacked his usual strength.

Rainbow sighs and hugs back. "Well, why don't you take those puppies out for a spin? I'm sure you want to really fly and maybe touch the stars." She said pointing up.

Blitz smiles and kisses her. "Thanks Dashie. Minerva, come above the cloud cover for a bit. I got a surprise." He said before putting himself down and readies himself to take off.

"I'm already there." Minerva says right before Blitz hits the invisible hull.

"Owie." He said as he tries to flap in place and puts his hooves on the hull. "Check it out Minerva. I'm flying!" He yells as they broke the cloud cover and his wing suddenly seized up. "Oh no." Blitz says before starting to fall. "Shit!"

Rainbow sighs. "Newbies." She said before flying up and grabs him and flies back down. "Too early love, too early."

"But not a bad first attempt." A voice they recognized says.

Looking over, they can see Twilight and Cadence flying up to them. "Not bad brother, you did a fine job of your first time. Just try to act less like a foal." Cadance said.

"I would say more teenager." Fleetfoot says laying upside down on a cloud.

Spitfire laughs as she flaps in place by Fleetfoot. "Teenager, more like the rookies at the academy. Thinking they are already Wonderbolts."

"Meh." Shadow says.

Blitz sweatshops and chuckles nervously. "I wasn't that bad…was I?"

"Well at least you're still handsome." Fluttershy says.

Blitz sighs and looks to his bent wing. "I guess I did overdo it, didn't I?"

"Welcome to boot camp." Spitfire says helping Rainbow hold him up.

Blitz brings his head down. "Oh dear."

"Yes?" Fleetfoot asks jokingly.

Blitz tries to smile as he looks to them. "I'll wear that Wonderbolt suit and please all of you at once if you don't make me go through this."

"Not a chance. We already set up a course." Rainbow says.

Blitz groans. "Dang…OW!" He yells as his wings move again and hits the rough spot.

"Come on girls, we best help him with his cramped wing." Shadow says as they all flew to Rainbow's cloud house.

Blitz moans as he was massaged hard as he laid down on the couch. "Ow."

"Yeah, he really over exerted his wings." Fleetfoot says moving his left wing a bit.

Rainbow sighs as she massages his right wing at the base. "Yep, too damn excited."

Fluttershy smiles a bit as she cleans him up. "Oh master."

"That I can easily see as this is your wildest dream come true." Spitfire says working around the left wing's base.

Blitz tries to smile. "And I don't regret doing that. The most exhilarating thing I have ever felt…ok, top five things I have ever done." Blitz says feeling their eyes on him.

They immediately go back to work on him with a smile. "And don't you forget it." Rainbow said.

"So any chance I…." Blitz was suddenly cut off when all of them flatly said. "No."

Blitz sighs as he put his head back down. "Master?" He looks over to Fluttershy as she keeps wiping off the old feathers. "I can stay with you just in case you need something."

"Wait, if you are here then doesn't that mean Shadow is cooking?" Blitz asks curiously.

Shadow chuckles. "As great as you are, it's time for us to take care of you. You can ask for whatever you want and you can have us at any time. Just not during training."

"Wait, where is Daring?" Blitz asks as somepony kicked open the door. "Never mind."

Daring sighs as she steps inside. "Dang it, you couldn't wait, could you?"

"Twilight couldn't wait." They all say.

Daring groans as she looks at Blitz. "What's up with him?"

"Over exerted his wings within moments of getting them and hit his head on the hull of the Darkstar One at full speed." Fluttershy says putting an ice pack on his head.

Blitz groans as Daring walks over. "Are you a part of this too?" He asks.

"Of course, all of your pegasus mares are going to help with this…have you lose weight?" Daring asks noticing his slimmer appearance.

Blitz lifts the ice pack a bit and looks back at himself. "Huh, didn't notice that."

"Now that you mention it, your hug didn't have the usual strength behind it." Rainbow says.

Blitz groans and puts the ice pack over his head. "Great, I'm weaker now."

"Must be a side effect from the amulet turning you into a pegasus like us." Daring says smiling before she nuzzled his nose.

Blitz sighs. "How long would this be?"

"Don't ask us. Twi is the one who made that." Rainbow says as his right wing pops, getting it to relieve all the pressure and pain all at once.

Blitz yelps at first and then sighs in relief. "That feels nice."

"Seems I got his right wing. Fleetfoot, how are you doing over there?" Rainbow asks.

Fleetfoot smiles. "Just one more." She before punching into the crook of his wing at the base, making him yelp. "There, that should do it." As she noticed the wing straightened out before collapsing in on itself.

Blitz sighs in more relief as he was able to fold his wings now. "That's better." He said while Shadow appears above him.

"There is more than one way to. The many positions can help so if you want, call me or Fluttershy here. We'll take it all." Shadow said hooking a hoof around her.

"Aren't you cooking?" Spitfire asks before they all start smelling something starting to burn.

"Shit!" Shadow yells as she rushes to the kitchen. "Crap!"

Fluttershy smiles as she looks to Blitz. "She's right. The act does release a muscle relaxant. So if you want master, you can have me or her."

"And the rest of us?" Fleetfoot asks.

Fluttershy smiles as she looks to them. "You want to be contorted to some hard positions?"

"Maybe." Fleetfoot says.

Fluttershy shrugs. "Join if you want, but it's master's decision on who he wants to do."

"Flutter, no being mean, ok?" Blitz says smiling to her.

Fluttershy giggles. "Yes master."

"Now that my wings are released, let's help Shadow, ok girls? Hi tank." Blitz greeted.

Tank blinks slowly.

"Nice to see you too." Blitz says going before returning with a piece of lettuce for him.

Tank takes the lettuce and starts to chew slowly.

"You're welcome buddy." Blitz says.

Tank nods and walks away.

Blitz smile before he felt somepony climb on top of him. Looking up, he sees a smiling Rainbow. "Let's go shall we?" Blitz asks struggling a little with his new weight, but not enough to be noticed.

Rainbow smile and nuzzles him. "You're so cute." She whispered.

"And you are adorable." Blitz counters.

Rainbow smiles. "Cute."

"Hungry." Blitz says.

Rainbow chuckles and nuzzles him. "Alright, I'll see what I can get." She said heading for the kitchen. Blitz smiles as he rests on the couch.

"So what now?" Daring asks.

"You cleared for your classes?" Blitz asks.

"Yeah, it's right now spring break." Daring says smiling as she adjusts her hat.

Blitz groans. "Great, there goes my vacation."

"Oh, don't be like that, in a few days you will be flying with us no problem." Daring says before kissing his cheek.

Blitz sighs as he lays his head down. "Yeah, training day like I'm a foal. Pet." He calls.

Daring smiles as she accommodated what she thought was his request and starts petting him.

Blitz pushes her hoof off. "Pet." He said more sternly.

"Coming." Fluttershy calls.

Blitz growls a little as he grabs her by the collar. "Listen up, I want you in the guest bedroom tonight, set up and ready to be used, got that?!" He asks while shaking her a bit.

"Oh, yes." Fluttershy says happily.

"Oh now don't be too rough with her my love." Daring says before kissing his neck.

Blitz huffs and throw Fluttershy away. "Get to it slut."

"I think I'm going to join." Daring says smiling while lying beside him.

Blitz sighs. "Want to be used like a ragdoll?"

"Oh you won't do that with me, beside somepony has to make sure you are well rested for your training tomorrow." Daring says.

Blitz groans. "That's why I letting out most of my anger on her now. I think I may need to for tomorrow. Want to be used or be a user?"

"Neither, we are married so equal input." Daring says laying her head into the crook of his neck.

Blitz wraps a hoof around her. "Tell me, what are you thinking of my doing with my little slut?"

"You're not fully doing it. You are just doing as she wishes and if she even thinks about putting you under another suggestion like last time, she will be in trouble." Daring calls the latter half to Fluttershy who eeps.

Blitz frowns a little. "What did I say slut? Get to work!"

"R…right." Fluttershy says running off.

"She was planning to do that obviously." Daring says.

Blitz smiles. "Hey, she gets her fantasy and I get a little relief. I kinda need it and also letting out a bit of anger otherwise I might yell at you girls."

"Yeah, but last time you nearly did that to another one of us." Daring reminds.

Blitz sighs. "Don't remind me about that. The one thing I hate to do is yell at my family."

"I meant what you did what Fluttershy likes to Vinyl. Not all of us like that sort of treatment." Daring says.

Blitz looks to her. "It's probably just their vampire side that makes them have pleasure instead of pain to deal with more attacks. Plus it might throw their enemy off. Besides, all Vinyl got was slapping on the flank. Like this." He said before slapping Daring's flank.

Daring yipped and clung to the ceiling fan.

"So who wins in the end?" Blitz asks.

Daring glares at him before signing. "You do." She said getting down as Shadow shows up with some hayburgers.

"I'm trying out this recipe for the first time, tell me what you think." Shadow says.

Blitz takes one and takes a bite. "Not bad, crunchy too." He said taking more bites.

"So I did well?" Shadow asks.

"Relax love, you did great." Blitz says smiling.

Shadow sighs in relief and gives the plate. "Here, you go deal with what you need to do because we almost start early."

Blitz smiles as he tries to take the plate with his magic forgetting he didn't have it right then. He sighs and takes it with his hooves. "That's one thing lost." He said somberly.

Daring smiles a bit and kisses his cheek. "It's okay. You'll be changing back soon after you train and enjoy the flight with us. For now, you got a slut waiting for you."

"Yeah, so Daring, can I convince you to feed me?" Blitz asks smiling at her.

Daring chuckles and takes the plate. "Come on silly." She said grabbing him too and pulling him away.

"Ok, so I would say we start with getting him to do wing up." Spitfire says as she was making the plans on how to train Blitz with the others on a flight team.

Blitz groans. "I can just feel the pain now."

"Hey Daring, don't forget to make him take a hot bath after you and Fluttershy are done." Rainbow calls.

"You got it sister." Daring said as she pushes Blitz into the room and closes the door behind them. She stops as she sees the position Fluttershy tied herself in. "Huh, I guess it's now easy as like hanging yourself." She said as she sees Fluttershy with her forelegs hanging by a rope and herself off the ground a bit.

"Hold on love we will help you down." Blitz says holding her as Daring unties the rope.

"Wait! This is what master wanted. He wanted me to get into position and this is it." Fluttershy quickly said.

"Well Rainbow said we have to have a hot bath after this and I'm going to need help drying his wings so he doesn't break anything and the water doesn't weigh him down." Daring says.

Blitz looks her over. "Huh, you missed one thing." He said.

"You don't know how hard it is to dry these things without your tech and we are bathing in this house." Daring reminds.

Blitz chuckles as he looks to her. "Please, I have to survive on planets sometimes and they barely had running water. Now as for you…" He said looking back to the hanging Fluttershy. "Why don't we have a little fun at least?"

"And this rope will easily come undone when you start." Daring says giving Blitz the 'you know nothing stare' with Fluttershy.

Blitz shrugs. "I'll carry her then."

"Enough talk, please master." Fluttershy says.

Blitz punched her straight in the face. "Shut up. I'm talking here."

"And Fluttershy, if I suspect you are putting another suggestion into his head, your session stops immediately and I take over." Daring reminds.

Fluttershy nods before yelping as Blitz hits her flank. "Mas…" She shut up again as she felt Blitz lift one of her legs at an almost straight angle.

"Huh, it seems you're not ready just yet. Daring how about we give her a little more of a bondage session?" Blitz says.

Daring raises an eyebrow and smirks. "Sure, let's see." She said to herself as she looks over the bag she brought. "Whip, maybe." She said tossing it to him. "Oh, a ring gag." She said bringing out a head harness which she immediately places on her and heads back to the bag. "Well, get started on her while I look for more." She said.

"Can't use this without my magic so let's see what I can do like this." Blitz says grabbing her flank.

Fluttershy yelps as he then brings the whip back with his hoof and then slaps it down messily on her. "Ah!" She yelled as some red marks appeared.

"No, not feeling this. Got anything else?" Blitz asks in time to see a paddle. "That works."

Fluttershy slowly opens her eyes to see Daring smiling at her and tries to look behind her. "Mas…AH!" She yelled as Blitz slaps the paddle on her flank, making a smacking sound and actually making her flank jiggle a little.

"Reminds me of school for some odd reason." Daring says.

Blitz chuckles as he rubs at the red spot with his hoof before hitting her other side. "Maybe it's because this was punishment with the principle. Sometimes publicly." He said before slapping her flank again and see its jiggle again. "How fat is your flank?" He asks poking it. Fluttershy didn't reply as she just moaned in pleasure. Blitz sighs and hooks a hoof around her neck before bringing her in close. "Open those useless legs of yours." He whispered into her now changing ear.

Fluttershy seemed to comprehend that statement as she did as he told her. Blitz sighs and brings the paddle back with both hooves and then brings it down her flank which she yells out before he does the same to the other side and leaves her stuck in a silent scream as he puts the paddle away and lifts her leg again. "Ah good, now, tell me what you want?" He asks while moving a hoof around the area.

"M…m…master." Fluttershy eventually manages to stutter.

Blitz nods as he lifts her other leg at around the same height. "And what do you want from your master you useless slut?" He asks lifting her up a bit.

Fluttershy moans as she tries to actually fight back a little and close her legs. "M…master's c…c…"

Blitz raises an eyebrow as he starts rising himself and keeps her legs open. "Yes?"

Fluttershy moans as she now stares blankly ahead. "Cock."

Both Blitz and Daring were a little surprised. "Huh, didn't think she would say it." Daring said standing in front of her.

"Well since she did." Blitz says before thrusting into her waiting parts.

Fluttershy was left with a silent moan as she was raised up and the ropes fell apart that made her forelegs fall to her sides and her head fall to the side as he started to thrust again and again into her. "Fuck, cock, cum." She mumbled.

"As you wish." Blitz says as he fulfilled her wish.

Daring watched as she leans down and looks at where he entered her and sees him pushing and pulling it into Fluttershy and gives a tentative lick. She licks her lips after a while. "Huh, not bad."

"Glad you think so." Blitz says suddenly grabbing her flank and thrusting into her.

Daring yelps as she bends down and looks over to Fluttershy on the ground just drooling as she left her flank up. "Why…ah…why me?" She asks, trying to look back at him.

"Because you said you wanted to join." Blitz whispers into her ear as he goes in deep.

Daring groans as he kept going harder now and pushing her into the cloud floor. "Mmmh…mmmhmm…mmmh." She mumbles into the floor.

"Good girl. You are already nice and tight." Blitz whispers into her ear as she was starting to lose to the pleasure.

Daring gulps before he starts to hit the hardest she felt. "Bl…Blitz." She tries to call out.

"Don't worry, I'm just going to make you feel like a mare should with this." Blitz says as she starts feeling warm inside.

Daring groans before pulling herself forward off of him and grabs Fluttershy before pushing her head onto him and she immediately starts drinking. "There." She said holding her there.

"Fluttershy, your husband has a request." Blitz says.

Fluttershy moans as she keeps drinking and looks up at him. "Ahhhh…" She moans around him.

Blitz leans down and whispers something into her ear. Fluttershy soon stops and looks to Daring.

Daring looks a bit worried as she sees her still on him and now let's him leak out the sides of her mouth. "What is going on?" She asks, dragging herself backward and leaving a mess behind. Fluttershy didn't answer as Daring found her eyes hypnotic. "What…wha…" Daring drones as her mouth hangs open.

"Come to me." Fluttershy says after taking her mouth off of him.

Daring moans as she drags herself forward to her. "Ahhh…"

"Now mount on top of me." Fluttershy says laying on her back. Daring stared blankly as she climbs on top of her and places her hooves on her shoulders. "Now make out with me and leave your flank open for our master." Fluttershy says.

Daring kisses her and felt Fluttershy push some of his seed into her mouth and drinks it before kissing her as she opens her legs wide open. "Mas…?" She mumbles into Fluttershy's mouth.

Blitz smiles as he thrust back into her slowly as Daring and Fluttershy's tits rub against each other. "Make out a bit messier." He said while taking himself out and rubbing himself against both of them before pushing himself into Fluttershy.

Both mares moaned as they started to do as he said. He smirks as he grabs onto their flanks and moves Daring's mane and sees the action between them. "Not messy enough, just tongue outside now." He said starting to thrust into Fluttershy now.

Both mares opens their mouths and just messes with their tongues and he can see a bit of himself there. "Huh, nice." He said before he keeps going and then switches to Daring. "How does that feel?"

The mares finally separate and moan whorishly. "Really, that good?" He asks humorously as then flips them both over and pushes himself into Fluttershy again. "Well how about now? No?" He asks before pulling both their tails and then bites it before pulling with his head. "Sluts."

Both moan in pleasure as Blitz smiles before cumming one last time in Daring before letting them recover. "Fluttershy, break your spell now and then clean me up." Blitz orders as he pulls himself out.

Daring moans before shaking her head. "What the heck happened and why does my legs feel more wet…and my stomach…and my mouth?" She asks getting off.

Fluttershy smiles as she lets Blitz use her mouth as a cleaner. "I told her to place you under her control and listen to me. I finished what I was supposed to do in you and now Fluttershy will get hers." He said as he pulls Fluttershy's mane with his hoof and makes her press against him.

Daring wasn't sure if she should glare or thank the two of them. She just then watches as Blitz makes Fluttershy move her head by himself and soon groans and hilts himself and sighs in relief. "Now I feel better." He said as Fluttershy drank him. He then looks to Daring as he kept himself there. "Go start up the bath. I need to finish up with this animal slut here." He said hitting Fluttershy's head.

"Very well, but bring her along and don't hit her anymore. We don't need her completely out of it as we bathe." Daring says getting up.

Blitz chuckles as he thrust a bit more into Fluttershy as Daring passes by to the bathroom. "You got, but I'm sure she'll be fine. Right you cum slut?" He asks, looking to the half lidded Fluttershy as she kept trying to drink and clean him off.

Fluttershy gasps as Blitz pulls himself off for a bit. "Yes mas…mmhg." She groans out as Blitz puts himself back in. "Missed a spot and there." He said moving around a bit before pushing her off and heading to the bathroom, leaving Fluttershy on the ground drooling. "Is it ready Daring?" He asks heading inside.

"Just about, bring in her as well. I'm going to need help with this." Daring says.

Blitz looks back to the shivering Fluttershy as she licks herself free of most juices. "Really, the cum slut?" He asks almost humorously.

"Yes mast…my husband." Fluttershy says as Blitz helps her up.

"Fluttershy, join me in the shower before we join Blitz in the bath." Daring says.

Fluttershy nods as she heads over to her and she takes off the leftover rope and head harness. "Nice ring gag, but the way." Daring said as she pulls her in and starts wiping her down.

"You aren't complaining about our session I hear." Fluttershy says.

Daring sighs. "Yeah, I guess it wasn't bad and feels like being under control is kinda cool. Still felt most of the good things though."

"I noticed that you came about five times." Fluttershy adds.

Daring blushes. "Shut up." She said as she looks to her and sees a flash before seeing rain. "Rain?"

Blitz looks over as he hears this and sees Daring staring off almost like Fluttershy isn't there. He keeps watching as Daring seems to look around. "How did griffons get here?" She asks.

"Fluttershy." Blitz says to the smirking vampire.

Fluttershy looks over to him as Daring seems to grow more frantic. "Wait, let go of me!" She yells before Fluttershy slaps her. "Wha…?"

"Not funny Fluttershy." Blitz says.

Fluttershy giggles. "I wasn't doing anything. She just fell into it all of her own. Do you like griffons that much?" She asks her.

Daring starts to shiver a bit. "Wha…"

Blitz sighs and goes over to Daring and leads her over to the hot tub. "It's okay Daring. That's over and way past behind us. You're with me and they can't touch you now." He said as he carefully places her in.

"Oh my loving husband." Daring says leaning against him in the warm water as she stuck her tongue out at Fluttershy over Blitz shoulder.

Blitz sighs as he held her. "Yeah, you are in no condition. Oh cum slut." He calls out playfully. Fluttershy enters the tub and moves close. He grabs her collar and pulls her out of the tub. "Why don't you clean us both off as punishment for allowing her to fall into that flashback?" He said.

Fluttershy whines as she got the cleaning supplies and cleans him off first as he held Daring who was looking at her with a smirk. As Fluttershy starts on Daring she suddenly feels somepony start cleaning her as well.

Fluttershy looks behind her and sees Blitz cleaning her up. "Nice try Daring. But I saw that trick and trying to make me treat her like a thing than my wife." He said working on her mane.

"Was worth a shot." Daring says as Fluttershy continues now smiling.

Blitz then hits Fluttershy. "And you don't get use to this achievement. This is one of the, I'm keeping the peace." He said before leaning close to her ear. "After this, any more trouble and I would leave you outside in public and let the stallions have their way with you." He whispered with a slight smirk.

"Yes my love." Fluttershy says.

Blitz pulls her collar, making her choke a bit. "I'm sorry, what was that?" He said letting go a bit.

"Blitz, not in the bath." Daring says.

Blitz smirks as he pushes Fluttershy to Daring who catches her. "What's wrong, kinda wet?"

"Boo." Daring calls as she removes the collar from Fluttershy.

Fluttershy cries out as Daring throws the collar into the tub and she goes to look for it. "Where is it? Where is it?" She tells herself as she lifts her tail.

Blitz smirks as he points to her. "Horney, isn't she?" He asks Daring.

"A little. Now Fluttershy, I will give it back after the bath, now let your loving husband continue to clean you off." Daring says.

Fluttershy whines as she lets him continue to wash her. "Okay." She said quietly.

"There is the absolutely adorable side I love." Blitz says nuzzling her, causing her to smile.

Fluttershy sighs. "Love you."

"Same here. Sorry if I got a little rough." Blitz says starting to pet her.

Fluttershy looks back to him. "You know I love it. Especially when you treat me like nothing."

"Maybe, but it does hurt me a little inside to do that to a mare I love." Blitz says holding her, making her feel the love.

Fluttershy sighs and leans into him. "Blitz?"

"Flutter." Blitz says as she smiled.

Fluttershy sighs in content as she almost treats him like a bed. "Thanks for being my master."

"Flutter." Blitz says.

"Sorry, thanks for being my husband." Fluttershy says.

"Good girl." Blitz says.

Fluttershy finally turns to him. "Now your turn."

"You already got me love." Blitz says smirking.

Fluttershy grabs his rag. "Silly stallion." She said before starting to clean him off with Daring joining in a bit later.

"Now it's time for the most pain in the flank, drying him off." Daring says.

Fluttershy smiles as she looks to his wings. "How does it feel, getting your dream?" She asks reaching for them.

"Overwhelming." Blitz says.

Fluttershy giggles before touching his wings and starts to stroke them. "How about now?" Blitz immediately seized up at the new sensation. "I know it, because you're still new you have it all over. Or maybe this is all connected because it's all magic." Fluttershy said.

Blitz groans as he tries to curl up and hits something. "Oh dear." He said as he leans back again as he sees himself. "Not again."

"Fluttershy, we can play with the wings later. It's time to dry him off." Daring says.

Fluttershy sighs as she stares at him before helping Daring get him out and starts to dry him off with the towels. "At least he isn't puffing up like a puff ball." Daring said as she carefully cleans his wings.

"But I like the puffy husband." Fluttershy whines.

Blitz chuckles as he nuzzles her a bit. "Silly Flutters. Now clean me off so I can get some much needed sleep."

"Alright Blitzy." Fluttershy says starting to dry him carefully when she worked on his wings.

Blitz sighs as he feels them on his wings. "Is this how tough it is for you girls? Cleaning off and making sure you don't hit anything important?" He asks, trying to not make the problem bigger.

"Now you finally understand…oh, what is this it seems? Fluttershy, go get the others, tell them Blitz needs to go through his first wing session." Daring says.

Fluttershy nods and rush off leaving Blitz to stare at Daring. "What…training already?"

Daring chuckles as she taps his side. "No, just giving you a good preening."

"…What?" Blitz asks dumbfounded.

Daring smiles. "It's just us cleaning your wings of old feathers. Don't worry, you'll like it. This is something you can also do by yourself, but its best with somepony else."

"I can't believe we have to do this already." Fleetfoot says walking into the bedroom as Daring pushes Blitz out.

Spitfire clicks her tongue. "How did he get old feathers that quick?"

"My bits on the amulet, seeing as it's the first of its kind." Shadow says.

Blitz groans as he sat on the bed. "So how is this done?"

"Oh this is going to be fun." Rainbow says smirking and was soon joined by all of them.

Blitz soon eyes the many mares in the room. "You think you could go easy girls?" He asks, trying to hold a smile.

"Ok, three mares per wing. Wonderbolts, take his left wing." Spitfire says.

All the mares move around him until they move their hooves and mouth to his wings. "And begin." Blitz heard before he shudders at the six feelings on the wings. "What's the point of this?" He gets out.

"To remove old feathers so new and stronger feathers can grow." Rainbow says.

Blitz squirms. "Good, I thought it was something useless I can live with."

"That and we enjoy being about to do this." Daring says before stroking his right wing.

Blitz tries to hold back a yelp as they did that. "Just get rid of those feathers."

"Girls, I think we need to be extra through." Shadow says.

Blitz eeps. "Listen, just get rid of the feathers, isn't that enough instead of just messing with my wings." He pleaded.

"Nope, this is a rite of passage all mares must do with their husbands who have wings." Spitfire says.

"You made that up. What about the foals?" Blitz says.

"Maybe we did and don't worry about them." Rainbow says.

Blitz frowns. "Really, then I could just do this by myself."

"No, you couldn't you have to be taught how to do this." Shadow says poking his nose with hers.

Blitz looks to her. "How hard can it be, just run over your wings till an old feather falls out or give it a tug."

"Like how it was easy to fly?' Shadow asks making Blitz be quiet.

Blitz sighs. "At least let me do it."

"Ok." Shadow says smiling as her side started teaching while the Wonderbolts kept working.

Blitz groans slightly as he takes his wing and starts running his hoof over it. "So how many feathers do you usually get?"

"Varies really." Daring says smirking.

Blitz groans as his hoof couldn't do much and resorted to using his mouth. "Great." His muffled voice said. "Still not working."

"See?" Fluttershy asks surprisingly looking smug.

Blitz frowns as he lets his wing go back behind him. "Fine, do it." He said trying to look at a spot on the wall.

"Don't worry, this won't take much long with all three of us." Daring says before kissing his cheek.

Blitz grumbles a bit as he tries to think.

"Oh somepony is pouting." Fleetfoot says.

Blitz sighs as he brings his head down. "Answer me this girls. What do you see in me that makes you want to do this?"

"Is that a trick question?" Rainbow asks.

"We are doing this so you can live your wildest dream love." Spitfire says.

Blitz remained silent for a bit. "Nothing else?"

"Well the second reason is. Altogether girls." Daring says.

"We love you. You big goof!" All six mares yell.

Blitz allows a small smile to come to his face and then laughs out loud and throws his head back in laughter. "Oh boy, I just wanted to hear from you girls." He said calming down and looking at them. "I needed to be sure you girls were happy too."

"Oh we will be happy, all too happy tomorrow." Spitfire says.

Blitz sighs as he leans forward and let's continue on the wings. "Shadow?"

"And done." She says.

Blitz sighs in relief as he lets his wings fold back. "Can you stay with me and Fluttershy, I think I may need two warm love ones with me tonight. And Daring, get Fluttershy her collar, it had her ring on it."

"It's right here." Daring says giving it to Fluttershy.

Fluttershy takes it and looks to the ring on it. "I wasn't going for the collar you know, it was the ring."

"I know. That is why I wrapped it around my hoof before throwing it in." Daring says.

Blitz takes the collar before bringing Fluttershy in and hooking around her. "Still feels a bit wrong though." He said holding her hooves.

"Your heart is so kind." Fluttershy says smiling.

Blitz sighs and kisses her a bit. "Now, get on the bed and wait for me, would you?" He asks smirking.

"Come on Fluttershy." Daring says.

"We will get back to deciding tomorrow's training." Shadow says before she and the Wonderbolt members all kiss him and leave.

Blitz shakes his head as Daring and Fluttershy get into bed. "You coming in love?" Daring asks.

Blitz chuckles and moves over to them. "Yeah, I feel like a heavy weight set." He said laying down and trying to readjust his wings. "How do you girls do this?"

"Lifetime of practice." Daring calls.

Blitz finally groans and opens his wings out and lauds them at his sides. "Guess this will have to do."

"How about you fully spread them out on top of us while we sleep." Fluttershy asked sheepishly.

Blitz smiles. "What am I, your blanket?"

"We have done it for you so many times. Now it's time to return the favor." Daring says smirking.

Blitz gives them a look. "Name one time you two did that."

"Just last week on the ship. Though we wrapped our wings around you." Daring says.

Blitz sighs and lets his wings go over them and lays down again. "Geez, I thought it was that one time you had to hang onto me because of what happened in the griffon kingdom and you Fluttershy," He said making her eep a bit. "You hung onto me to make your master happy, when that didn't work, you went to work on me. It didn't work, pet." He said playfully.

"Oh you playful little." Daring started as she snuggled in close wrapping a wing around him.

Blitz smirks. "Be nice." He said closing his eyes. "Massage me a little pet." He said while chuckling a bit. "And maybe I would let you sleep with me."

"Fluttershy, just follow my lead so our husband doesn't get too big of a head." Daring says.

Blitz smiles. "Aww, you ruined it Daring, don't want a massage like me?"

"How about this?" Daring asks as Blitz feels her hoof rub his shoulder.

Blitz sighs in relief as he relaxes. "Thanks girls." He said as Fluttershy starts on his other side. "And…I'm sorry."

"Oh with your big and tough act?" Daring asks nuzzling him.

Blitz smiles a little. "No, not giving you two a goodnight kiss."

"Easily fix." Daring says.

Blitz gives her a kiss before rolling over onto Fluttershy who squeaks a little. "There's my cute little pony." He said before giving her a small kiss and rolling back over with her on top. "So, think you two can live with me like this?"

"Yes, I think we can manage." Daring says before stroking his wing.

Blitz groans a bit. "Damn it girls, you really know how rule me up."

"Yes we do." Daring says as they snuggle closer.

Blitz sighs in relief as they wrap their hooves around him. "Goodnight girls."

"Goodnight." Daring says smiling as she felt his feather on her coat.

Fluttershy giggles as she nuzzles his chest a bit. "Night master."

"Fluttershy." Blitz says.

Fluttershy smiles. "Night Blitzy."

"Better." Blitz says smiling as he feels somepony pull the covers over them.

"Ow." Blitz said as he hit the ground again.

"You are flaring your wings when you're trying to glide." Spitfire says.

Blitz grumbles something about the whole thing.

"Sorry, what was that?" Spitfire asks leaning down.

Blitz gives a fake smile. "Love you too dear."

"Then get back to the start of the course." Spitfire says before blowing her whistle.

Blitz groans before running there.

"Now again!" Spitfire yells blowing her whistle.

Daring watches as he flies off again. "So how long has it been?"

"Three hours." Shadow says looking at her watch.

Fluttershy winces as Blitz hits a hard cloud ring. "Oh, I hope he's going to okay."

"That's the fifth time he has hit that cloud. He's now three times as far as when he started this exercise." Rainbow says.

Fleetfoot shrugs as she bites down on some of the food they had. "Well for pegasus, we need a lot to fly. And Blitz is only halfway through it already. His life made sure of that."

"Yeah, but did you notice how he maneuvered passed that first obstacle once was instinctual and lucky, but every time he has experience flying, just not on his own." Rainbow says.

Shadow nods. "Yeah, what was that thing he had that could fly?"

"I believe he called it his custom Viking." Daring says.

Fleetfoot nods. "Yeah, that's what Spitfire said. Still, is it somewhat similar to our flight style?"

"I don't know, I've only flown space fighters on the simulator on his ship." Rainbow says.

Fleetfoot looks over to her. "And how hard was it?"

"You got to watch several things and take others into account. It can be stressful flying them." Rainbow says.

Daring smirks. "You did fly with the assistance off mode on it, right?"

"Yes, once, I blew up in less than a minute." Rainbow admits.

Daring smiles. "It is hard with that type of maneuvers."

"Fuck this!" They heard as they look up to see Blitz start flying into the close quarter part of the course and sees him actually running his hooves across the clouds a bit instead of flying the whole way.

"Oh boy." Fleetfoot says bracing for Spitfire going off.

"What the heck was that?!" Spitfire yells as he stops at the finish line.

Blitz growls a bit. "That close quarters flight is not good enough, especially for my size of wings. I needed to fold them and use the clouds as a run and jump spot so I can get through some of that stuff."

Blitz was sure Spitfire was about to deck him when she busted out laughing.

Blitz just ended up confused. "Uhhhh…?"

"So you finally figured it out." Spitfire says.

Blitz just tilts his head. "Huh?"

"We intentionally design it for a mare with smaller wings." Spitfire says.

"In other words, me." Rainbow says.

Blitz just ended up twitching his one eyelid as he stared wide eyed and started to almost laugh and breathe hard until he clawed at his face with his hooves and screams and started to curse like crazy.

"Should we stop him?" Spitfire asks as they watch him destroyed the close quarter course.

"Give him a few moments before he realizes the hidden meaning. After all, he's a smart stallion." Rainbow says.

Spitfire sighs. "Oh boy, there goes the platform. That's coming out of his paycheck."

"Didn't we make that out of a cloud?" Rainbow asks.

Spitfire looks back at her. "Building clouds, very expensive." Rainbow gives her a look. "Or so he will think." Spitfire says smirking.

Rainbow chuckles. "You want him to pay for the victory dinner, don't you?"

"Yes." Spitfire says.

Blitz soon finished his rampage of destruction and soon landed in front of them with bits of cloud on him. "Never…again."

"So what did you learn?" Spitfire asks.

Blitz pushes past her. "Back off sister." He said heading to the food before taking a hayburger and takes a huge chunk out of it. "And for your information, it isn't always flying." He said taking another big bite.

"And?" Rainbow asks.

Blitz spits the burger out. "And it's sometimes pays to use your hooves and other parts of your body when needed."

Spitfire and Rainbow look at each other. "And you forced me on an impossible course to make me get better control on my flying." Blitz adds.

Rainbow sighs. "Sorry Blitz, fastest way to get you to learn. Besides, now you get to rest for a bit while we set up the next course."

Spitfire hooks a hoof around him. "And you have to pay for the destroyed course. That's two thousand bits mister." She said glaring at him.

Blitz twitches a bit before just hoofing her his bit pouch. Spitfire chuckles and tosses it Fleetfoot who flies off. "Now, you head up on the cloud and try and relax, you're going to need it for the next run." She said pointing to a cloud.

Blitz obeys and flies off.

"That was easy." Rainbow whispered.

Spitfire sighs. "Now the tough part, we have the skills, but he has to figure out the next one on his own. At least let's set up another course run just in case he doesn't find it yet."

"Before or after Fleetfoot and Shadow start pampering him?" Rainbow asks noticing them flying towards the cloud.

Spitfire growls a bit before flying up and intercepting them. "Girls, I told you. He needs to figure this out on his own." She whispered as she looks back to Blitz who was laying on the cloud. "Now Fleetfoot, get into town and get that reservation and Shadow, give them more from our reserves if they don't listen."

"Right." They says halfheartedly.

Spitfire kicks their flank and pushes them to town. "Get your flanks moving. You want him to be happy with us at the end, don't you?"

"Yeah, yeah." They flying off.

"You sure Twilight is the alpha?" Rainbow asks.

Daring chuckles. "Yeah, we agreed that we choose from who got him first and Twilight is the first one and Applejack the second. You want beta, ask Applejack."

"Not from where I'm flying." Rainbow says.

Daring sighs. "Come on, we have to make it look like we're working."

"I preferred it if you shake your flanks!" Blitz called catching the last thing Daring said.

Daring brings her hoof up. "Face meet hoof." She said before slapping herself. "Dash, set up some maps."

"Got it." Dash says.

Blitz sighs as he watches the mares start to work and rolls before standing up and looks to the land. "At least I get to see this." He said to himself before looking down. "Huh, that's something." He said as he starts to see something. "Is that…" He asks before he leans forward and starts to fall.

Spitfire and the others watch as he fell. "There he goes."

'This reminds me of all those drops on the basalis war droids.' Blitz thinks as he free falls. He then starts to see something he thought he would never see. 'No, that's the HUD system from the Basalis.' He thinks before seeing the ground coming up and flares his wings out and glides across the ground before flying up. 'This is real data. It's working in real time, no lag. How is this happening?'

"He's got it." Daring says smirking.

Rainbow sighs in relief. "Good, kinda still scary for us, but I wonder how his is?"

'Adjusting for reentr…wait, this isn't a flashback.' Blitz thinks as he finally gets what he was doing as he flew. He then starts flying upward and soon break another cloud cover as the sun passed under it and sees the stars. 'Always wanted to do this and they gave me a chance.' He thinks as he reaches a hoof up and touches something.

The air materializes in front of him and sees the Darkstar and Minerva having her hoof on the glass where his hoof is. "You did it." She said.

"You love watching me while I don't know, don't you?" Blitz asks.

Minerva smiles and looks to their hooves. "You have to go back now. It's getting too cold here." She said as she notices the frost getting on him.

"I like the cold, remember?" Blitz asks.

Minerva sighs. "Just go back. Your mates are waiting for you. You can tell me everything later."

"I will see you soon." Blitz says smiling before leaving.

Minerva nods. "I know, you touched the true stars already. All your mares and now me. Great job."

"You sure you want to try this? It could take you offline for good." Twilight asks.

Minerva nods as she watches him leave. "Yes, he deserves more. More than what I am now."

"Alright, I hope this works." Twilight says charging her magic as Minerva lands the ship in the Everfree forest.

Blitz breathes deeply as he flew straight down into town get blindsided by Rainbow Dash's lunging hug. "Ow." He said as he pokes at his side where Rainbow hit him first before moving a bit.

Rainbow pokes his nose. "You did it, how does it look like?"

"I feel like I'm in one of my aircrafts." Blitz says.

Rainbow pokes his head. "That's right, you got the skills and you got yourself a little helper. Something to help your flight. We got that after we were guided and all of us fell off before flying without us."

"Oh so you see this to. Make sense since how you were such natural with the simulator now." Blitz says.

Rainbow giggles. "No, it doesn't have the same look. For everypony, it's different."

"Target locked." Blitz says smirking, confusing Rainbow till he hits her most sensitive spot on her leg sending a shiver up her spine.

Rainbow moans as she tries to hold on. "Damn you."

"Come on. Let me help you up, we are making a scene." Blitz says.

Rainbow sighs as they start flying down and land in the middle of town. "Hey guys, over here." Spitfire yells near the restaurant that Blitz knew was a bit fancy and never bothered.

"Come on." Rainbow says dragging him along.

Blitz looks at the restaurant in suspicion. "Rainbow, getting a table here is expensive. How did you, you use my bits, didn't you?"

Rainbow just smiled and didn't answer as she sat him down. He takes a look around and notices that the place was empty and a whole giant round table was in the middle of the dining room. "Huh, you bought out the entire restaurant." He stated.

"I thought it would make a good addition to your clan's owned businesses." Spitfire says.

Blitz looks shocked to her. "You brought the place?"

"No we did." Spitfire says smiling.

Blitz looks a bit confused before the others came out of the kitchen and sits down at the table. "So what's this for?" He asks after they sat down.

"To celebrate you learning how to fly." Fleetfoot says.

Blitz smiles a bit. "Are we excepting anypony else?"

"Well Twilight isn't here yet." Pinkie says bouncing on Blitz.

Blitz sighs as he wraps a hoof around her and pets her mane. "Come on, where's the real you?"

"This is the real me silly." Pinkie says. "I'm just tired." A more neutral voice says.

Blitz nods. "Okay, so what do you want?"

Pinkie giggles. "Something a bit salty."

"Eat me." Blitz said while smirking.

Pinkie pokes his chest. "I do eat you, remember, you let me mmmhf mmmhp." Pinkie mumbled as Blitz covered her mouth.

"That was a rhetorical statement." Blitz says.

Pinkie crosses her legs and looks away snooty. "Hm, I guess you don't want me to go again next time."

"Pinkamena, please explain it to her." Blitz requests.

"He gives you the fun time of a lifetime. And he would…" She started to whisper and Pinkie's mane bounced a little. "Oh really? Blitzy, can you get a chair, a towel and that suit next time?" She asks while tapping her hooves together.

"I'm kind of afraid to ask." Blitz says.

"Still trying to wrap my head around this." Applejack says looking at Pinkie.

Pinkie giggles. "Oh it's really this, you ever heard of a," She leans down to his ear. "Bukkake?"

"Pinkie, be nice." Blitz says.

Pinkie groans a little before smiling. "Ah come on, you'll love it."

"Later." Blitz says petting her.

Pinkie purrs in delight. "Oh, that feels good." She said as she wags her tail.

Blitz chuckles. "Who's a good girl? Who's a good girl?" He asks playfully.

"Not me. I'm a bad girl." Pinkamena says.

Blitz stops petting. "Okay, guess you don't want it."

"Oh I'll get it later." Pinkamena says.

Blitz nuzzles her. "Yes you will and I'll give everything."

Applejack clears her throat. Blitz sighs and looks to her. "You want in dear?" He asks humorously.

Applejack frowns. "I like normal times."

"This normal as it gets." Blitz says.

Applejack huffs. "Trust me, ya haven't seen everything."

"Yeah righ…you have another surprise for me don't you?" Blitz asks.

"Yeah we do." Twilight said walking in. "Blitz, did you know about Minerva's dream?"

"Yeah w…" Blitz stops.

He soon sees a mare step in that almost looks like Minerva's body. "Wha…?" He tries to say, but the mare only moved up to him and puts her hoof on his mouth. "Quiet." She said.

Blitz obeyed what she said because he knew that voice. "Minerva?"

The mare nods as she puts her hoof away. "Yeah. Surprise." She tried to say.

"H…how?" Blitz asks.

Minerva sighs. "Twilight, she used my body as a center point. But, it wasn't complete." She said moving her mane and shows some areas on the back of her neck that looks like plates. "Ports, enhancements, almost like an organic going all cyborg."

"I'm in shock." Blitz says.

Minerva sighs and moves closer to him. "Then don't be, try to look at me and tell me what you feel."

"Like I am dreaming." Blitz says smiling.

Minerva smiles. "Good, now what are you going to do?"

"I…" Blitz was at a loss for words.

Minerva sighs and sits down right beside him. "You'll find out what to do soon."

"Well at least you're officially in now." Twilight says.

Minerva nods. "Yeah, just part cyborg now. Probably best seeing as I'm still needed on the ships."

"Maybe you will eventually make a full jump." Twilight says.

Minerva shakes her head. "No, I got what I needed and this is good enough. I really don't want to forget about my old life too."

"So out of curiosity, can your bare foals now?" Shadow asks.

Minerva smiles greatly. "Yeah, I'm finally able to give Blitz what he really deserve."

"So will they be part machine as well or will they be fully organic?" Pinkie asks now dressed like she is from Star Trek.

Minerva leans on a hoof. "Don't know, that will be the complete mystery. But whatever the case, they'll be my foals."

"Fascinating." Pinkie says putting on Vulcan ears.

Blitz knocks it off her. "That's enough costumes Pinkie. I don't need nightmare night here now."

"Oooh, did that come early this year?" Pinkie asks.

Blitz face hooves and then puts his face on the table. "Dang it Pinkie. You can really annoy me."

"In a good way?" Pinkie asks.

Blitz sighs. "Oh Pinkie."

"Ye…" Pinkie was cut off when her hair went straight. "Ok, enough Pinkie." Pinkamena says.

Blitz sighs in relief. "Thanks."

"No problem. She is just wound up." Pinkamena says.

Blitz shakes his head. "Think a night would do it?"

"Not a chance." Pinkamena says.

Blitz groans. "Okay, I'll try her suggestion and maybe then really shut her up."

"Oh no, I meant she has a few parties to plan." Pinkamena says.

Blitz shrugs. "I think a night alone with me would do it."

"No it won't, she is an endless ball of energy when planning a party." Pinkamena says.

Blitz smiles a little. "And that's what makes her special. My big ball of energy."

"Hey guys." Lightning said as she walks in. "What's this about a…whoa." She stopped as she sees Blitz.

"Where have you been Dust? Last thing I was told, you were going to go check on somet…" Blitz was cut off with Lightning tackled him with a hug.

"You have wings!" Lightning yelled as she looks to them and feels them.

"Wait, you were not in on this?" Blitz asks.

Lightning shakes her head. "No, I was busy getting some stuff done."

Blitz gives her a look. "What stuff?" Blitz asks.

Lightning frowns a little. "Personal." She then cheers up. "So how did you get the wings?"

Blitz points to Twilight with a wing.

Lightning hits his shoulder. "Congratulations, you figured out humor with wings. Now…what's going on here?"

"Twi made this and it's making me a pegasus." Blitz says.

"You also missed his first preening." Rainbow says.

Lightning taps his side. "Why didn't you tell me? I would have joined."

"You disappeared on us." Rainbow says.

Lightning sighs. "Personal." She said sitting down.

Shadow gives her a knowing smile.

Lightning soon relaxes back. "So…what's going on here?" She asks looking around.

"Blitz just finished learning to fly." Spitfire says.

Lightning smirks. "Great job honey. Now what are you going to do and…who's the mare?" She asks seeing Minerva.

"Twilight. Magic. Minerva." Blitz explained vaguely.

Lightning raises an eyebrow. "Is everything by Twilight?"

"She is the princess of magic." Blitz says.

Twilight giggles. "I thought I was the princess of friendship."

"Magic." Blitz says.

Twilight smirks. "Uh huh."

Blitz sighs. "I had to tell that." He said under his breath. "Now, where's our food? I'm starving."

After a while the food finally came out much to his stomach's likeness and gobbled up almost everything. "Geez, must have been hungry." Spitfire said as she tries to keep count of the amount of plates piling up next to him.

Minerva giggles. "Would you believe he ate out the Darkstar out of house and home one time?"

"No comment." Blitz simply says.

Shadow giggles. "Really, he ate everything? How much money was that?"

Minerva smirks. "Let's just say he did three contracts, on the same mission for different ends. I'm surprised he was able to do that though."

"We don't talk about that contract remember?" Blitz asks.

Minerva smiles. "Yeah, yeah, you lazy stallion."

Blitz huffs. "Lazy? I was bringing in the credits and the reason we don't talk about that one is I had to repaint the entire Darkstar One."

The mares tries to stifle their laughter. "What the heck did you do?" Twilight asks.

Blitz stares at her. "Not talking." He said before stuffing his mouth to prevent anymore talking.

The mares all shake their head. "Geez Blitz, when did you become so secretive? Isn't the point of marriage is to keep the secrets not hidden from each other?" Fleetfoot asks.

"Let's just say a lot of blood was everywhere." Minerva says.

The mares look a bit surprised. "Well, that's our Blitz. Crazy, shameless, and out of control." Shadow said.

Blitz looks to her. "Hey, I'm not that bad."

"And it wasn't his fault they all took a drug…" Minerva stopped when Blitz gave her the look.

Blitz sighs. "So what do we got after this?"

"Well us pegasus bride's turns is up right now." Spitfire says smiling.

"It's the wings, isn't it? You are all attracted to them now?" Blitz asks.

The mares all grin. "Oh yeah." Shadow said. "Things we could do."

"Any other p…" Blitz stops when he feels someponies pawing his wings. Looking back, he see Vinyl and Octavia had arrived.

Vinyl smiled. "Hey hot cakes."

"Hey, it's the two missing mares." Blitz says.

Octavia smiles. "Yes it is. Now what's going on here?" She asks pawing at the wing.

"Oh just celebrating our husband finishing his flying lessons." Spitfire says playfully elbowing Vinyl with a smile.

Vinyl looks to him. "Really, already? Dang that was fast. So what's next for our favorite stallion, earth pony?"

"Not much of a challenge, after all I was raised with Jackie, the earth pony way." Blitz says sneaking a wing around Applejack.

Applejack grins. "You still can't farm."

"Oh I'm sorry Ms. Needs My Help Around the Farm." Blitz says.

Applejack elbows him. "Shut up, you still get apples on your head."

"Oh, should I bring up that incident?" Blitz asks.

Applejack frowns and hits him. "Okay, you are now pushing it."

"So you still haven't figured it out?" Blitz asks.

Applejack growls a little. "Yeah, I did and you owe me."

"I don't know what you are talking about." Blitz says smirking.

Applejack hits him. "You still owe me."

"Owe you for what?" Blitz says playing innocent.

Applejack sighs and looks away from him. "Confounded stallion." She grumbled. "Playing dumb."

"Oh Jackie, what are you on about?" Blitz smirks, wrapping the wing tighter around her.

Applejack growls a bit. "Stupid stallion."

"Who loves you." Blitz says before kissing her cheek.

Applejack sighs. "Why can't I stay mad at you?" She asks turning to him.

"Because you love me." Blitz says.

Applejack shakes her head. "Well what are you going to do now?" She asks poking his chest.

Blitz shrugs. "I don't know, what jobs have you found Minerva?"

Minerva was just poking her food and giggling a little.

Blitz smiles. "Minerva." He sang.

"Enjoying the moment." Minerva says.

Blitz sighs. "You got any jobs?"

Minerva thinks as she lifts some food up. "Well, there is a check up on a planet and there is a small escort mission." She said as they see some steam coming from her hooves.

"Um…Minerva, that's hot." Spitfire said.

"So this is the sensation of heat." Minerva says putting the food down.

Blitz sighs as he goes over to her and cleans her hooves. "And pain, you got burned." He said showing the red spots.

Minerva shrugs. "Doesn't feel that bad."

Blitz looks to her. "Do you have pain inhibitors?"

Minerva looks around for a bit. "I think so."

Blitz watches her. "Turn them off."

Minerva did and immediately goes wide eyed. "Yeow, ow, ow, ow!" She yells, flaying her hooves around.

"Pinkie, please go get a bucket of cold water." Blitz requests.

Pinkie hops off and immediately returns with a bucket on top of her head and places it down right in front of her. Minerva places her hooves in the water and sighs in relief. "Ah, that feels good."

"Oh I also got this for you as well." Pinkie says bringing out a wedding ring.

Minerva stares at the ring. "Wha…why…?"

Blitz smiles. "So will you?"

"It's to show you are married." Pinkie says wrapping a hoof around Minerva.

Minerva sighs and smiles and takes the ring before placing it on her hoof. "Thanks Blitz."

"Now tell us Octavia, how are you both?" Twilight asks.

Octavia looks to her. "Both?"

"You and the little one." Blitz clarifies.

Octavia smiles as she looks to her bigger stomach. "It's fine. Just hungry most of the time."

"And won't stop playing that junk." Vinyl adds.

Octavia just hits her over the head. "I want the foal to grow up with class."

Vinyl grins as she nuzzles her. "Oh please, without me, you have no class."

"Spell High Class society." Octavia says.

Vinyl just gains an amusing dumb face. "H…uhh…what's next?" She asks humorously.

"Are you serious honey?" Blitz asks.

Vinyl chuckles. "Nah, just playing."

"Spell it then." Octavia says.

Vinyl grumbles. "Fine. H, I, G, H, C, L, A, S, S, S, O, C, I, E, T, Y. There, you happy?"

Blitz warps his free wing round her. "How about you?" Blitz asks.

Vinyl sighs and leans against him. "I don't know, I'm going to need help."

Twilight levitates a packet of blood in front of Vinyl.

"Now, I'm not so hungry." She said taking the packet and bites into it.

Blitz sighs as he pets her head. "My silly vampire."

Vinyl burps. "Nope, just sexy."

Blitz rolls his eyes as everypony still tried to eat. "So when are you going back?" Twilight asks.

"Tomorrow. Got a gig in town." Vinyl says.

Blitz smiles a little. "Anypony got any plans, because I have to plan when to leave?"

"You're not going anywhere for a while Mr." Lightning says.

Blitz frowns. "Aw, why not? Is it because a certain somepony wants me?" He asks with a smirk now.

"Yes." Lightning says flatly in an annoyed voice.

Blitz smiles and goes to her before picking her up and sitting down and putting her on his lap. "Well, I'm here."

"And you will stay for quite a while." She says unamused.

Blitz sighs. "Well what do you want from me?" He said petting her back.

"I'm not missing out on this so you're on holiday for a while." Lightning says as Minerva was examining a bottle of alcohol.

Blitz grins. "Great, now where do you want to go first?"

"I have a few ideas." Lightning says.

Blitz chuckles. "Okay, I'll try and spend time with you. And Minerva, too late." He said as he saw Minerva moving around drunkenly.

"I got her." Applejack says.

Minerva giggles drunkenly. "Weeeeee." She said moving around and spinning.

"Vinyl, help me with her." Octavia says walking over to help.

Vinyl groans and throws the pack away. "Fine, come here cyborg girl." She said going to her.

Blitz sighs as he watches them take her away while she began singing nonsense. "Oh boy, at least she will learn better than anypony else when she wakes up." Lightning said.

"Wait, we didn't tell you about that." Blitz says.

Lightning points to the other mares. "They talk when you're busy."

Blitz frowns a little. "I really need to pay attention more."

"And then the pie hit him in the face." Pinkie says.

Blitz groans. "I should pay more attention." He said as the other mares laugh.

Lightning chuckles and nuzzles him. "Yeah, you should, but you now have to pay attention to me."

"You're not the only pegasus mare who wants a piece of him." Shadow says.

Blitz smiles as he looks to her. "I already had time with you, over five times in fact."

Shadow whines. "Come on, you know my incorrigible appetite for more fun."

"Hey Rainbow, Spitfire. Shadow says she needs more excitement. What extreme things can you do with her?" Blitz calls.

Rainbow smirks. "Let's see, flying or home?"

"Take your pick." Blitz says.

Rainbow grins and goes to Shadow. "Good, home it is. Now, what to do?" She asks herself as she looks around.

Spitfire grins. "How about what she keeps dreaming about? Come on." She said dragging them away.

"But, I'm not there." Blitz says confused.

Fleetfoot smiles as she looks back to him. "I think that's because you are spending time with me and we are starting to spend time with the rest of the family. And me." Lightning says.

Blitz sighs and nuzzles her. "Okay, I think it would do well for others to spend time together."

"After dinner darling." Rarity says.

Blitz looks back to the plate. "Oh yeah, let's eat." He said eating Lightning's plate.

"That is mine." Lightning says.

Blitz then kisses her and feeds her the food before pulling back. "How about now?"

"Just don't try that with the wine." Lightning says smiling.

Blitz nods as he lays back. "What are you waiting for, it's your food."

Lightning rolls her eyes before starting to eat.

Blitz sighs in relief and looks to everypony eating or going for a little fun. "This is the life."

Blitz sighs as he looks to the night life of the town. "So where do you want to go?" He asks Vinyl as they walked aimlessly.

"You still want to go out and do something in the middle of the night after a round with both Shadow and Lightning? Man your stamina is impressive." Vinyl says.

Blitz chuckles. "I told you, my past life really shaped me up. Now where's this gig?"

Vinyl points to a warehouse. "In there, they're setting things up."

Blitz smiles. "Maybe I should join."

"You're my bodyguard love." Vinyl says as he brought out a suitcase with Blitz's emblem on it.

Blitz raises an eyebrow. "And what is that?" He asks pointing to the suitcase.

"One of your armors." Vinyl says.

Blitz tilts his head. "How did you get my armor?"

"Had Minerva send me one in case of emergency." Vinyl says.

Blitz looks at the armor. "Really, this one?"

Vinyl grins. "It's sexy and I want you back there with me from time to time."

"Didn't know you like black and red and the same design used for hunting vampires." Blitz says.

Vinyl smirks as she looks at him. "Vampires are sexy, hunters are even sexier. The mares sometimes show themselves off like crazy. Besides, black and red look cool together."

"Oh so where is your vampire outfit?" Blitz asks putting on the armor.

Vinyl shrugs. "Getting a dry cleaning."

"Oh, then it's a good thing I foresaw this." Octavia says walking up with an outfit.

Vinyl grins and takes it. "Awesome. Let's get this party started."

Octavia smiles before kissing Blitz's cheek. "I'm going home to rest for me and the little one." She says. Blitz nods and catches up with Vinyl.

Blitz sighs as he watches the rave go on. "Thank you noise dampeners."

"Yo Blitz, come up here." Vinyl called over the radio.

Blitz sighs and goes up the stairs as another bodyguard takes over and meets up with Vinyl behind her set. "Yeah?"

Vinyl grins as she looks backs to him. "Come up behind me." She said turning back to the crowd.

Blitz did as she says and just waits there looking intimidating as Vinyl helps kick the rave into the next level.

"Now…" Vinyl said standing up and leaning over the set and looks over the crowd once more as the volume grew louder. "Hold me, will you?" She asks coyly.

"Alright." Blitz says as she freely fell back into his waiting hooves.

Vinyl giggles as she actually starts dancing against him. "Well, like it?" She asks sultry.

"How about less sultry, more Vinyl style?" Blitz coyly says.

Vinyl hisses at him. "Looks like I got my wish." She said humping against him a little.

"I was joking Vinyl, just enjoy the moment and don't be so sexual." Blitz says.

Vinyl raises an eyebrow. "Doesn't matter, look." She said pointing to the crowd and he sees some of the areas of the crowd already having more fun than usual. "Somepony apparently placed something in the drinks. Now let's have fun." She said putting a hoof on his cheek.

"I thought I was your bodyguard." Blitz says as she touched his helmet and he picks her up.

Vinyl smiles. "You're my husband too. So, want to? I doubt everypony is going to be paying attention much on us without looking at themselves and already having fun on their own." She asks rubbing against him and waving her tail under him to his.

"Oh, but isn't more fun when we play on a bed?" Blitz asks.

Vinyl grins. "I like when we play rough. Remember, you bending me over that table back in your room one time? I want it here."

"But love, you have to earn that and I will make you a deal. You do the job here and I will do that." Blitz whispers into her ear.

Vinyl moans as she kept running against him. "Then everypony will be gone and they will start paying attention to us. Do you want that?"

"Should we care? Besides I was looking forward to you playing music." Blitz says stroking her ego.

Vinyl looks to him a bit surprised. "Ho, ho, oh, what's this? The big hunter stallion wants to do it in public? Naughty boy, especially with so many eyes watching us."

"Like I care about that." Blitz says.

Vinyl hisses a bit and grins. "So you are going to take me with all of the crowd watching?"

"Right here, after the rave is over." Blitz says petting her.

Vinyl hisses in bliss as she was petted. "After they left or before?"

"We start when you say so after you get paid." Blitz says lovingly.

Vinyl moans a bit as she starts to nuzzle him. "So no public?"

"Well I'm sure the cleaning ponies will be here watching." Blitz whispers into her ear.

Vinyl moans and hisses into his ear. "I want them near me, they won't touch me, but you can do all you want and still wear this." She said hitting his armor.

"Sure, after all, I hunt vampires. This will just be me hunting Dhampiresa flank." Blitz jokes.

Vinyl chuckles as she grinds against him. "Oh you naughty stallion. And the cleaning crew is your hidden backup?"

"Maybe." Blitz jokes.

Vinyl nods. "Alright, but the only thing those guys have is the right to get it all over me. Anymore and you can interfere. Just don't take it too far."

"Oh, no one touches my mares, but me. They try and let's just say they die slowly and painfully." Blitz says.

Vinyl chuckles. "Alright, let me keep dancing against you for the rest of the rave and when we get our paycheck, we get back here and have some fun. Some stallions should still be here."

"Alright, time to work." Blitz says letting her go.

Vinyl nods and leans back down to the set. "Yeah, can't wait." She said still grinding against him.

"Easy love. All good things come to those who wait." Blitz says.

Vinyl shakes her head as she keeps playing until the night went on and a lot of ponies started to leave. "Alright, let's go get our pay. Most of the crowd would leave by then." Vinyl said packing up her discs.

"Lead the way." Blitz says hoofing her a drink.

Vinyl looks to the drink for a bit. "Thanks for doing this Blitz." She said before drinking it up and heads to the concession stand and goes for the bartender. "Hey buddy, how'd I do?" She asks him.

"As good as always." The pony says putting forward an envelope as the last piece of crowd went and the cleaners took to the floor.

Vinyl nods and takes it before opening it to find her check. "Good. Hey, stick around for something special for you and the cleaners." She said heading back. "Here, the check for the bodyguards." She said giving a slip to Blitz.

Blitz takes it without a word. "Sorry, we have to close up sooner than usual Vinyl. The guards are cracking down on everypony right now after that fiasco with the guards in Canterlot." The pony says.

Vinyl looks back at him. "How long do you have to close up shop?"

"For four days." The pony says.

Vinyl smiles. "Think you can stay the night? I think I can find somewhere else."

"Nope, they want us out now." The pony says.

Vinyl sighs. "Dang it. I really wanted to try this." She said. "You guys heading anywhere together? Maybe your own private celebratory retirement party for this place?"

"Nope they put most of us on a watch and instituted curfews and, I quote, for all plays of chaos and disorderly conduct." The pony says rolling his eyes.

Vinyl raises an eyebrow and looks to Blitz. "You fucked it up." She said before looking back to the pony. "So who's not being watched?"

"I don't know, but this will blow over soon enough." The barkeep says.

Vinyl sighs. "You guys got a bit of time to spend with us?"

"Nope, I'm leaving now so those idiotic asses don't have an excuse." The barkeep says packing some things up and leaving.

Vinyl groans as she looks to Blitz. "Well there goes my fun. Why don't you head on home and do whatever. I'm staying to pack up and head home too." She said before heading for the set on stage.

"I'll help, can't let those guards go accusing you of murder now." Blitz half jokes.

Vinyl slightly glares at him. "You know this is your fault." She said starting to remove all the wires and separates the set.

"I know. I saved Shadow because the guards wanted to pin the blame of some of their numbers dying from what everypony has ruled as an accident on her." Blitz says.

Vinyl sighs. "I know you saved her, but you're making life a little harder on us at this point. You better make up this plan we had for me."

"Oh, I can think of a few ways." Blitz says rubbing her flank.

Vinyl sighs as she pushes her flank into his hoof. "And how do you plan on doing that?"

"Oh maybe getting a little rough with you tomorrow night. After all we don't want to wake Octy up or we have to go through a godzilla like rampage." Blitz says.

Vinyl smiles a little. "And the makeup job for the stallions which was supposed to be there?"

"I'm sure Spitfire would be more than happy to fill in for that. After all you two did date back in high school." Blitz says.

Vinyl chuckles. "Yeah, but one isn't enough."

"Then there is Rainbow, Fleetfoot, and Lightning." Blitz says.

Vinyl looks back to him. "Really, all of them? Going at me like they were stallions too?"

"Nah. After all, you swing both ways." Blitz whispers the latter part.

Vinyl giggles a bit. "Then let's go." She said before heading past him and moves her tail under him chin.

"Yes ma'am." Blitz says following.

"So what's this abou…?" Spitfire stops and looks to where Vinyl was laid down on the table. "Whoa."

"Vinyl fell asleep on the table again?" Blitz asks groggily waking up on the couch.

"Heh, heh, heh. You were crazy my stallion. Couldn't wait and use that damn suit. Damn, I think there is still a lot on me." Vinyl said licking the white strands on her lips.

"She still sleep talking?" Blitz asks repositioning himself to go back to sleep.

Vinyl was still laughing and groggily licking herself clean. "Yummy."

"Yeah she is." Spitfire says.

"Gotcha, I'm going back to sleep." Blitz says.

Spitfire looks to him. "Did you really use that suit again?"

"No, not yet." Blitz says adjusting the pillow and opening his wings as if inviting her.

Spitfire sighs and lays down with him. "Looks like you did. There's the evidence." She said looking at the mess on Vinyl.

"She is always a mess. You should know, you dated her in high school." Blitz says wrapping his wings around her.

Spitfire smiles and snuggles his wing. "Yeah, we did. And am I late for the party?"

"No, the part doesn't start till after the sun sets." Blitz says.

Spitfire sighs. "So what, I get to play with her while you do her?"

"And maybe you at the same time." Blitz offers.

Spitfire smiles and nuzzles him. "Blitz?"

Blitz didn't reply as Spitfire hears his heart beat slowly.

Spitfire sighs. "Do you remember our first meeting?" She asks before hearing some rather loud snoring and she couldn't tell if these two was having a snore off. "Oh brother, now there are two Vinyls. I don't know whether to be impressed or afraid for my life."

Twilight sighs as she looks over the books and messages she gained since she was in space and of course most of it is from Luna wanting to play. "Of course she would. Thank you Blitz for leaving a game style tablet for her." She said to herself before there was a knock at the castle door. "Come in."

"Letter for you Princess." A guard said giving her envelope.

"Thank you." Twilight says as she is handed the letter.

Opening it she finds a very crude writing on it, but amazingly still had a good style to them. "Twilight Sparkle. I know we spoke quite a good while ago, but now I am in dire need of help. I never expected things to go by rapidly as I expected and as such I'm forced to go for this alternative instead of the traditional route. I request your presence here in my abode immediately." Twilight reads before seeing who sent it. "Chrysalis?"

"Oh this should be interesting. Which reminds me, I have dinner plans with the rest of the family in a few days. I wonder how mom and dad are doing." Twilight says before thinking of something. "Hum, I wonder what Blitz's birth parents are like."

Twilight sighs and looks outside to see it night time, but if Chrysalis is calling then. "Guards, we are going to Canterlot." She said walking out to them before activating a teleportation spell and transports them outside the red light district of Canterlot.

They all walked for a bit before seeing the club they needed to go into and notices the changelings at the doors looking rather worried as they let them past. "Chrysalis?" Twilight asks as she enters and finds her at the bar trying to drink…something.

"You asked for my help?" Twilight asks.

Chrysalis nods and she notices the light coloring patches on her chitin. "Yes, do you know what happens when a changeling dies?"

"No." Twilight says.

Chrysalis sighs as she swishes the swirl of green liquid around in her glass. "What happens to regular changelings, no matter if they're drones or soldiers, they would simply fall and degrade away like regular bugs. We burn the ones growing fungus by the way. As for the queens…well…it's more complicated. We transfer the knowledge and energy of what they have to another worthy successor."

"You are dying, aren't you?" Twilight asks.

Chrysalis nods as she drinks another glass that the bartender refilled to the highest. "Yes, I would have lived longer if not for that accursed eviction notice I got during the wedding. Thanks for that by the way."

"Well you did invade, but that is not the point." Twilight says.

Chrysalis sighs and looks to her. "Then do you know why I called you here when I could have just told you about this over the letter?"

"You either choose me or you want me to find a replacement." Twilight says.

Chrysalis actually smiled like a mother at her. "Great job Sparkle. But you are the only one in terms of magic that I can give this too. In my search and attack on the city, I looked for all those spells that will help in any way it can. But to transfer it over to a regular unicorn, their brains would be in a magical overload from all the power and knowledge especially with the connection to hive mind. You need a stable mind to get through that."

"So what will happen, will I become a changeling?" Twilight asks.

Chrysalis looks down. "I'm sorry Sparkle, but it will happen. Probably when you mate again because as a queen will need to do is lay eggs. Funny that you are married already, but I should think your next heat cycle will do it when you can't take much more. Your next heat will be unbearable. But, you will gain the knowledge on how to properly run a hive, use the mind system, the spells I have learned and a bit of me."

"Actually, I don't think that will be necessary. You remember the changeling for my guard?" Twilight asks.

Chrysalis smiles a bit. "How could I not? He was somewhat excited to go out and see other places. Such an explorer. Why?"

"We did a little experiment. Come in Marco." Twilight says.

Chrysalis looks to the door. "Marco?"

In walks a unicorn. "My queen." He says in a voice she recognized.

Chrysalis looks to Twilight. "What did you do?"

"Exposed him to a new form of energy. It had an interesting effect on him and his magic now is at least three times and he can change between the three pony kinds." Twilight explains.

Chrysalis sighs and turns back to her drink. "Congratulations Sparkle, you committed genocide."

"Nope, for he is still a changeling. The blood is the same and everything, it just he can literally take on the appearances and abilities with his shape shifting." Twilight explains.

Chrysalis didn't look at her. "Yet, would you tear ponies away from their home of their dead parents if you gave them a better home and upgrades in it and then make them forget about the old life?"

"Chrysalis, I know you don't want to hear this, but your race has been dying out. Unless you change, you will be gone forever." Twilight says.

Chrysalis sighs. "And I will be. No change in healing or technology will beat that. Plus it's the life of changeling. You have to be my successor Sparkle. Want to be the one where you didn't accept the offer, change all the changelings and soon don't have any that resembles the old tales as it should be. Even if the world change, there will always be a remnant of past life that much is true. But those who avoid the past, will find that it will catch up to them in the worst way possible. I need a successor Sparkle, so I will ask again, will you do it?"

"Just because you change it, doesn't mean that you stop being yourself Chrysalis." Twilight says.

Chrysalis sighs and gives the drinks to her. "Will you do it, yes or no?" She asks as all the activity stop in the club as all the changelings stare at them.

"Yes, but I think you underestimate my advancements and being an alicorn." Twilight says.

Chrysalis sighs in relief. "Good, you will be able to live on your life as able, just now you got two kingdoms to watch over. Just make sure the changelings with you get the love needed. And yes, that will always be needed no matter what." She said dryly before hitting Twilight with a sleep spell and sending her off the chair. "There, now one of you take her to my private room. She's going to need it." She said taking one last sip before following.

Blitz's eyes shot open as he felt something powerful pass over the home. "What was that?"

Celestia raises her head up as she felt the magic pass over the castle. "No." She whispered in despair.

Twilight groans as she sat up again and tries to open her eyes to find herself in an unfamiliar bedroom. "What? What's that smell?" She asks and immediately flinches on the sight of the decaying pool of green blood on the ground with some chitin in there. "That can't be…"

'Hello, is thing on?' A voice asks in her head.

Twilight looks into the mirror and sees nothing has change except her left eye is now green. "Minerva, please do a scan." Twilight says.

"Scanning. No real changes except for a new energy." Minerva says.

'Hello? Any changeling queen there?' The voice asks again.

Twilight feels a slight buzzing in her head. "Chrysalis?"

'Finally, I thought you would never wake up.' Chrysalis said in her mind.

"It seems nothing really happened. Only my left eye's color changed is all that happened." Twilight says.

"…what?" Chrysalis asks.

Twilight sighs as she tries to think. "Well, I don't feel much, OW!" She yelled as she held her head in pain as some indescribable buzzing came in and soon was meshed together with talking. "Guess that's the hive mind."

"All hail the queen." The voices kept repeating.

'Shut up!' Chrysalis yelled. 'And get back to work. Sorry about that. Look, it might be because we never had a pony do this before. The changes will be coming slow, but they get gradually better as time goes on. I'll try to help with the load and keep some of the spells until you need it. So how do you feel now?'

"Or maybe this is the extent of the changes." Twilight says.

'Stop beating it so low Sparkle. Things happen and this will to you. Now then, onto official business. The club will be maintained without you. As for the changelings, they will go about their jobs on a daily basis, but newborns, they have to seen by you and helped cared by you and the brood mothers. Also, you may need to find a place to nest.' Chrysalis explained.

"Huh?" Twilight asks having a bad feeling about this.

Blitz stretched himself as he walked through town. Trying to figure out what the surge was. "What the heck was that?" He asks himself before bumping into somepony and sending them into the ground. "Sorry."

"No biggie." Twilight said as she got up and dusts herself off.

"Oh, hey love, perfect timing and why are you wearing sunglasses?" Blitz asks.

Twilight nervous giggles as she adjusted them and twitches her ear. "Nothing much, thought it was too bright."

"I see, well you free?" Blitz asks.

Twilight was about to speak before a door slamming was heard in her head. 'Nice memory, oh, I suggest you go to avoid suspicion.' Chrysalis said.

"Twi?" Blitz asks.

Twilight shakes her head to clear it for a bit. "Sure, where do you want to go?"

"Why don't we take a walk? After all, we haven't seen each other lately." Blitz says,

Twilight and starts to walk with him as they head to the park. "So do you need to talk to me about something or just enjoy this?" Twilight asks.

"I felt a strange energy surge not too long ago. It woke me up." Blitz says.

Twilight giggles a bit. "Really, a…surge? How big was it?"

'That orgasm was fantastic.' Chrysalis said in her head.

"Twi, is something wrong, your ear keeps twitching." Blitz says.

Twilight grows a bit worried and starts to sweat. 'Tell him my dear. He'll understand. After all, love ones don't ever leave their family.' Chrysalis soothes her. Twilight sighs before looking around and drags Blitz into a small cleaning sounding by tall thick bushes, away from prying eyes.

"Twi?" Blitz asks again.

Twilight breathes in deeply before moving her hoof to her glasses. "Please don't hate me." She said removing them.

Blitz tilts his head a bit, seeing Twilight's now green eye. "So what's the story behind that?" Blitz asks.

Twilight sighs and looks to him. "Chrysalis asks for my help and so I went over there to find out only to hear that she's dying quicker than expected so she has to pass on the queen life to me. That's how queens die. So I accepted and now, I'm like a pony changeling queen hybrid. I hope you don't leave because I did something without your advice." She said looking away, scared to know the result.

"Why would I leave?" Blitz asks petting Twilight.

Twilight looks back to him. "You don't hate me? But…but…I became a changeling, something that may hurt something about our family."

'Told you and that last comment hurt a little.'

"You're my wife and you said it yourself you only became a hybrid." Blitz says holding her.

Twilight now tears up as she tries to look at him. "So…if I was fully a changeling…?"

"You would still be Twilight Sparkle, my Twilight." Blitz says.

Twilight sniffs as she nuzzles him. "Blitz?" She cried.

"Shh, it's all ok." Blitz says.

Twilight keeps crying against him as passersby' tried to figure out what noise was coming from that direction. "Blitz?" Twilight asks after a while and she finally stops crying, but still teared up a little.

Blitz nuzzles her. "Yes my little queen?"

Twilight lets a giggle come out. 'I like this stallion. Never let him go.' Chrysalis said to which Twilight smiles at. "Can you…kiss me at least? I need to know you haven't changed." Blitz didn't hesitate and captured her lips. 'And you said I would need your club.' Twilight thinks.

Chrysalis laughs in her head as Twilight pushes him down to the ground and they eventually separate and they look up to the sky. "Blitz, are you okay with me being like this, a queen?" Twilight asks as she drew figures on his naked chest with her hooves while laying at his side.

"As long as I don't have to wear ridiculous clothing." Blitz jokes while smiling at her.

Twilight giggles and sits up a bit. "She's still here, in me. So if you hear me talking to myself, it's probably Chrysalis." She said hitting her head a bit.

'And you say I'm the insane one.' Chrysalis said.

"Ok." Blitz says petting her again.

Twilight starts purring till she screeched sharply and clamps her hooves over her mouth. "Wha…?"

'Ooopsy, forgot to mention you get some regular qualities of us, some.' Chrysalis informed.

"Seems you're going to have to take lessons from Vinyl love." Blitz says before kissing her neck.

Twilight moans as she moves him around. "Blitz, stop it." She said playfully.

'This is looking hot.' Chrysalis said as Twilight heard popcorn being eaten.

'Hey, private time. So stop watching.' Twilight thinks to her.

"Alright love, if you want that." Blitz says holding her.

Twilight sighs in bliss as she feels the strands of love coming into her. 'Is this…feeding off of love?' She asks herself to which she got a nod from Chrysalis or what feels like a nod before he lets go. "Alright, I have to go set up for another trip and then finish up my business. Which reminds me, you have to see the parents." Twilight said poking his bare chest.

"That is fine, I like your parents." Blitz says.

Twilight smiles. "What about your parents? When will we meet them?"

"Twi, my adopted parents died in an accident before I was abducted." Blitz tells her.

Twilight stops and looks at him. "Oh, I'm sorry."

"Don't be, it was a long time ago." Blitz says touching his nose to hers.

Twilight lightly nuzzles him. "Are you okay with visiting my parents then?"

"Yeah, that is fine. So where will we be meeting them?" Blitz asks.

"Manehatten." Twilight says.

"Manehatten huh?" Blitz says thinking something over.

Twilight smirks. "What are you thinking?"

"You mind if we visit somepony while we are there?" Blitz asks.

Twilight shrugs. "Depends, who is it?"

"I want to visit the sister who took care of me before I was adopted." Blitz says.

'Wait, this might help me find out who Blitz's birth parents are.' Twilight thinks. "Okay, family to family. So when can you go?" She asks.

"Right now." Blitz says.

Twilight nods. "Okay, let me grab a few things from home and I can teleport us there. I think I remember enough of the place to get us to a good spot."

"Tell the others before we go so they don't send out your guards to look everywhere for us." Blitz says.

Twilight blushes. "Right, I'll be right back." She said before charging a spell away.

"By the way how much longer will this," Blitz stops to gesture to his wings. "Last?" Blitz finishes.

Twilight smiles. "I think today is the last day. So maybe around the time you placed it on which was after lunch and before dinner. Around our time."

"So will the magic wearing off be painful?" Blitz asks.

Twilight sighs and looks to him. "A little, but I'm sure you'll be fine."

"Ok, to home." Blitz says with a hoof around Twilight.

Twilight giggles a bit before teleporting.

"So you were adopted in Manehatten?" Applejack asks.

Blitz nods. "Sorry about not telling ya that part."

"No need to apologize. I never thought about it before." Applejack says as the pegasus mares were sulking a little at the loss of Blitz's wings.

Blitz smirks. "Aw, cheer up girls. When I come back, there will a lot of snuggling."

"Just let them be for now." Vinyl says.

Blitz chuckles. "Yeah, this coming from the mare who had an orgy last night."

"And enjoyed it." Vinyl says as Octavia facehoofed.

Blitz sighs as Twilight came back with a bag. "You got anything you need to get?" She asks him.

"Yeah and girls, come here." Blitz says. The girls all gather around him. Blitz smiled as he kissed one by one. The girls all walk away with smiles on their faces before he gave one to Twilight as they went off.

"They seemed to perk up a bit didn't they?" Blitz asks.

Twilight nods as they start walking in the city. "So who do you want to visit first?"

"Which ever you want." Blitz says.

Twilight sighs as she looks around the crowded city. "Let's see my parents first. Come on." She said grabbing his hoof and pulling him off.

"Yes love." Blitz says.

Twilight giggles like a schoolmare as they rush around the city till they came upon a hotel. "Come on." Twilight said going inside. "Excuse me, I'm looking for the Sparkle family. They should be listed." She asks the front desk.

"Oh yes. Ms. Twilight correct?" The stallion asks.

Twilight nods. "Yep, that's me."

"They are in room 717." The stallion says.

Twilight nods and grabs Blitz's hoof again and he laughs as they run off with Blitz waving bye to the stallion. After they rode up to the floor and ended up at the room Twilight turns to him. "Blitz?"

"Yes love?" Blitz asks.

Twilight sighs and knocks on the door before hugging him. "Thank you for staying and being with me." She said as she hugs him tightly.

"Why would I leave?" Blitz asks.

Twilight giggles as she heard the door being opened. "Maybe if you left me with the foals alone?"

"Love, your parents." Blitz says.

Twilight smiles a little and turns to her slightly shocked parents. "Hi mom, hi dad." She said happily.

"Twi." They greeted before letting them in.

Meratan looks over her notepad and sees the orders are coming in smoothly. "Great, now we just need those rations." She said to herself before seeing a large transport stop by the ship.

She watches as multiple armed guards came out followed by some regular clothe people come out behind them with a large amount of materials floating behind them and they were heading for the Darkline. "Excuse me, can I help you?" She asks while blocking their way.

One of the guards only slams a tablet into her and walks right past her with all the rest. "Executive order and approved by Southern Cross." One of them says.

"Can you prove this?" Meratan asks.

"I wouldn't be here if I wasn't be paid to." A new voice says.

Meratan looks over to the ship and sees one coming out in a duster and a large hat that looked like a blueish creature with tubes in his mouth to his neck. "No." She whispered. "Cade Bane."

"Yeah, I'll be gone after they get the room set up." Bane says.

Meratan looks to the group and materials still going in. "And who are they and what room?"

"Their group is confidential. Contact your boss about the job." Bane says.

Meratan quickly dials Blitz and after a few sets of ringing he finally picks up. "Hello?" Blitz asks.

"Cross, what is going on? I got a group of armed humans and materials heading into the ship that is definitely not part of the manifest and I got Cade Bane here too. Explain yourself." She scolded like a mother.

"Yeah, I accepted a job. Just let them in, but put a bomb on Bane before he comes on." Blitz says. "By the way, this is a prerecorded message."

Meratan stops and looks to her omnitool as it stops playing the message. "Dang you Cross." She cursed.

"Well, I'll be off." Bane said before he was grabbed and then had a charge placed on his chest.

"Chief's orders." Meratan said before letting him go.

"Oh, you are loving this, aren't you?" Bane asks.

Meratan huffs. "Just keep those blasters to yourself and we'll see."

"Just the blasters?" Bane asks.

Meratan glares at him. "Watch it or you're getting kicked off no matter where we are. Even in the cold dead space will I personally send you out the airlock."

Mandalore sighs as he just finished the last paperwork and leans back in his chair when he notices a personal report on the little tyke of a dragon. "Must be important for him to have one." He said opening it and finds it was mostly filled with reports on his fast acting gaming skills in all genres and high ingenuity on the thinking and social games. "Huh, guess the kid's a game master. But…Sico! Where's the plan for the battle simulation system?" He calls out.

Sico looks to him. "Just waiting for your order and its…here." He said giving him a file over the system.

Mandalore looks over the room on the screen. "Good, draw up plans to be placed in the Darkline. They're going to need it anyway. And find me a stalemate with one of our fleets. We got one heck of a test coming up."

Sico just ended up surprised at the result of the five year long make on the system now being implemented.

Blitz sighs in relief as they left the building. "Why did you have to mention me leaving you alone with foals? Your parents looked like they were ready to kill." He said slightly glaring at her.

Twilight just stuck her tongue out at him.

Blitz sighs and then kisses her before letting go. "Now I can't stay mad at you." He said as they head down to the middle class area of the city.

"So we heading to see her?" Twilight says as they walk.

Blitz nods as they head down a small neighborhood. "Yep, going to go see my sis. You'll like her. She's like Applejack, just with more muscle and a lot more help behind her when she talks. So if you are planning to stand in her way…well, you got life insurance?" He asks humorously.

"We are still talking about the mare who helped raise you in the orphanage right?" Twilight asks.

Blitz nods. "Yep, I just call her sis since it's easier. Besides, she was like my sister. Anyway, you do have life insurance, right?" He asks almost seriously.

"Let's just keep walking." Twilight says shaking her head.

"Though by now she would probably be known as mother." Blitz says thinking out loud.

Twilight looks to him. "She's that old?"

"She's about twenty years older than me and once again that is the title or rank if you prefer." Blitz says.

Twilight looks a bit surprised. "Wow, so you think she would remember you?"

"I believe she will as I was the first foal she was charged with taking care of." Blitz says.

Twilight nods as they see what looks like an office like building and has a playground nearby. "Welcome to the orphanage." Blitz said walking inside with her and visit the front desk. "Hi, I'm here to see Mother Aqua Sight."

The guard looks to his list. "Yes, do you have an appointment?"

"No, but I need to see her." Blitz says as the pony at the front desk notices Twilight was an alicorn.

The desk pony nods. "Okay. Head on in." He said as he presses a button and a buzzing noise came on the door into the building was unlocked.

"Thank you." Blitz says walking in with Twilight.

Twilight looks back to the pony as they head inside. "Increased security?"

"Yes, I never had that when I was here." Blitz stopping outside a door and knocks on the door.

The door opens and they see a mare dressed in some kind of clothing. "Yes, can I help you?"

"Mother Aqua Sight?" Blitz asks.

The mare nods. "Yes that's me. What can I help you with?"

"It has been a long time. Though last time I saw you, you were still a sister." Blitz says taking off his sunglasses.

Aqua squints at him. "Oh Blitzkrieg. You've grown." She said happily.

"Yeah. How are you mother Aqua?" Blitz asks politely smiling back.

Aqua smiles. "Oh don't be so modest. You are like a brother to me so come in and bring your friend too." She said stepping back and noticing Twilight.

"Actually, this is my wife Twilight Sparkle." Blitz introduced.

Aqua smiled even more. "Well isn't this nice. My little brother is married."

"Yeah and happily." Blitz says as he and Twilight came into her office.

Aqua nods as she sits down again. "And how are your parents?"

"They died in an accident about four years after I was adopted." Blitz says after a pause.

Aqua's smile immediately falls away. "Oh…I see. I'm sorry."

"It's alright. I came to see you since I was in town." Blitz says.

Aqua smiles again. "Really now and care to tell me what that is?"

"Just visiting me wife's parents. They keep asking us when to expect grandfoals." Blitz says.

Twilight suddenly heard glass breaking as she stood still. 'Oh dear.'

Aqua chuckles. "You got out with all of your tail right?"

"Yeah, I think they are hoping for news of it from either her or her brother." Blitz says thinking out loud.

Aqua then looks to Twilight. "You are hoping for some foals right?"

"Well ah…" Twilight starts embarrassed.

Blitz smiles and hooks a hoof around her. "Oh don't worry Twi. Just tell her."

Aqua chuckles. "It's fine. A mare doesn't want to tell, a mare doesn't have to tell. Remember that Blitz or it's the couch for you."

"Twi wouldn't do that." Blitz says smiling.

Twilight tries to smirk. "Watch me stallion."

Blitz chuckles. "See." Blitz says.

Aqua smirks. "The only thing I see is a nervous stallion and a smirking mare."

"He knows his place." Twilight says to her.

Aqua shrugs. "Well your life, your trouble."

"So how are you Aqua?" Blitz asks.

Aqua sighs. "Well, I could be better, but it's all good."

"How about the orphanage?" Blitz asks.

"Oh it's doing well." Aqua says.

"So Aqua, what about Blitz's birth mother?" Twilight asks.

"Oh um, well…" Aqua trails off.

"Aqua?" Blitz asks.

Aqua sighs. "I'm sorry princess, we don't know. Blitzkrieg was just left on the stairs of the church one night."

Twilight looks to Blitz. "And you have no idea or any clue?"

"Unfortunately no and this is not uncommon." Aqua says.

Twilight looks back to her. "And how many foals do you get like this?"

"Several, unfortunately. It's sad how many do this either because they can't take care of them or don't want them." Aqua says.

Blitz shrugs. "Or in trouble. You know how many times a father comes in and tries to find their foal, claiming the mother made a mistake."

Aqua nods. "Yes, only to run their record and find out why the mother put their foal here."

"But that isn't the case with Blitz, is it?" Twilight asks and Aqua shakes her head.

Blitz sighs. "No one came to me. Only my adoptive parents who came to see me, but no other pony came in claiming to be my mother and father."

"Yes, that is the case." Aqua says.

Twilight grows worried. "Have you ever…well…tried searching for them? We do have DNA papers."

"No, we never did. Though it didn't help that a pirate raid happened not long before Blitz was found on the steps. Some think that he might be the son of one of the ponies who died in the raid." Aqua says.

Twilight looks to him. "Pirates?"

"Yes, they have been a problem for Manehatten for years ever since Celestia disbanded all privateers almost a hundred years ago after winning a war that they mostly won. She swore to throw any privateer into the dungeons if they returned." Blitz says.

Twilight looks between the both of them. "And you never bothered to check the list they might make for all deaths after the raids?"

"Here was so much chaos we didn't even get Blitz registered till two years later and there were so many whose bodies were charred from the fire and so many buildings destroyed. It also didn't help that the guards made the fire after panicking to try and keep the pirates away." Aqua goes on.

Twilight grimaces a little. "Wow, that sounds…brutal."

"It didn't work and even till this day, there exists some distrust between the citizens and guards." Aqua says.

Twilight flicks her tail a bit. "Why is that?"

"For their ruthless actions and the lack of a punishment to boot." Aqua says.

Twilight just gets confused. "Lack of…what?"

"Punishment for starting the fire." Blitz says.

"Wait, wait, wait." Twilight waves her hooves around. "The citizens started the fires? Why would they do that to their own home?"

"Not the citizens Princess. The guards started the fire and were never punished. Heck, some who were vocal about this were hung for a crime we were never told about." Aqua says.

Twilight just stood shocked still. "Why would they do this? Isn't Celestia on top of this?"

"Like how she had the Shadow Bolts tortured?" Blitz asks.

Twilight just stops. "Good point."

'I'm not even that bad.' Chrysalis said.

"Anyways that was why we never really searched. Because when we had everything in order the trail was long since gone cold." Aqua says.

Twilight sighs. "So…no hope?"

"Not with our resources, but with you, you might have a chance." Aqua says.

Twilight looks to Blitz. "You want to give it a shot?"

"If you want. It is not like it will change who I am." Blitz says.

Twilight just becomes worried. "We'll see."

"If you are going to attempt any spells, please do so off the orphanages grounds." Aqua requests.

Twilight looks to her. "Why is that?"

"We don't want to scare any of the foals. We got enough ghost stories about the orphanage amongst the children." Aqua says.

Twilight smiles a bit as she looks to Blitz. "Ghost stories?"

"You would be amazed what foals can come up with." Blitz says.

Twilight giggles. "What did you come up?"

"Nothing, I was only five when I was adopted." Blitz says.

Twilight smiles a bit. "So you didn't come up with anything?"

"Nope." Blitz says imitating Big Mac.

Twilight giggles and leans against him. "Now what do you got?"

"Let's see, you, a house, and a few businesses." Blitz starts.

Twilight sighs as she nuzzles him. "You're the greatest Blitz, but what about the others?"

"Twi, we don't have all day and Aqua has duties." Blitz says.

Twilight looks to Aqua apologetically who was smiling a lot. "Sorry about that."

Aqua waves them off. "It's fine. It's always good to see a happy couple. Now I have to deal with some students. Math day, your favorite Blitz."

"Yeah, yeah." Blitz says waving her off as well.

They soon hear a bell ring. "Whoops, time for class." She said getting up and opening the door for them. "Sorry you can't stay longer. It would be a good way to catch up."

"Nice seeing you again mother." Blitz says heading for the door.

Aqua smiles. "Nice to see you again too and with your wife as well. You certainly came far." She said as some foals walks past the door.

"Not too far to visit friends." Blitz says.

Aqua nods as they head out. "Yes you have. Well, I have to be going, nice seeing you again." She said before heading into another room.

"Shall we return to the hotel?" Blitz asks.

Twilight smiles to him as they head out the building. "Making me go another night?"

Blitz nuzzles her. "Only if you want to."

Twilight giggles. "Right now, I just want my stallion right by me."

"Well your parents do want us to keep trying." Blitz says as Twilight teleported them.

Twilight throws him to the bed as they teleported into their room. "I just want to sleep now, by my stallion. Think you can do that?"

"I think I can." Blitz says.

Twilight crawls into bed with him and snuggled into him. "Good, night Blitzy."

Blitz nuzzles her head. "Good night, my little queen."

'Aw, that's so cute.' Chrysalis said.

'Shut up.' Twilight thinks as she felt herself feeding on his love again.

Blitz sighs in relief as he kept nuzzling her before falling asleep. "Twi…" He whispered.

Twilight smiled and nuzzled back. "Blitz." She said before following him.

"Twi, I really don't care either way." Blitz says as Twilight readied a spell to track down his biological parents.

Twilight sighs. "Blitz…you know what, I'm finding them no matter what. So shut up." She said before almost finished the spell.

Blitz sighs. "You don't need to…"

"Finish!"

"Unbelievable." Blitz finished.

Twilight smiled as she felt a tug. "Come on, we might get something your parents may have touched that was barely touched by anypony else." She said walking in the direction of the tug.

"Point to the map." Blitz says holding up a map of the western hemisphere.

Twilight thinks before pointing to a spot on the map. She opens her eyes and finds it off the land and almost at the edge. "What?"

"Looks like…Nassau?" Blitz asks.

Twilight puts her hoof down. "What's that?"

"That's a pirate town." Blitz says.

Twilight now looks worried. "So we head there?"

"Now I am interested." Blitz says.

Twilight now looks really worried. "So we are heading there?"

"I will book us a ship." Blitz says.

Twilight looks around. "And what are we bringing?"

"Well a battle armor for one." Blitz says thinking it over.

Twilight stares at him. "And me?"

"You are beautiful." Blitz says.

Twilight frowns. "I meant for there."

"Well you don't wear armor and you have seemed to dislike my weapons." Blitz says getting serious.

Twilight tilts her head. "So what do you suggest?"

""Use your magic." Blitz says before tapping their horns.

Twilight shivers a bit. "We still can't get use to that."

"Oh for once I got you with it." Blitz says smiling.

Twilight smiles. "Yeah you did. Don't do it again."

"Why not, don't you love me?" Blitz says in mock horror.

Twilight becomes pouty. "Because of you not pleasing me." She said playfully.

"How about if I do this?" Blitz asks playfully pulling her tail.

Twilight tries to hold back her moan. "Bastard."

"And I'm yours." Blitz whispers into her ear.

Twilight screeches a bit at him. "Idiot."

"Hey now, nibbling on your ear is my thing." Blitz says sticking out his tongue playfully at her.

Twilight smirks as her horn lights up and Blitz feels his tongue being pulled. "Will you behave now?" She asks.

"Yes ma'am." Blitz says, his voice a little muffled.

Twilight lets him go before giving a kiss. "So are you ready for a pirate hunt?"

"We don't know if they are pirates. By the way, how many did you sense?" Blitz asks.

"…one." Twilight admits.

"I see, so that means only one is still alive." Blitz says.

Twilight shrugs. "Guess it is. Though, I am also picking up a few friends nearby."

Blitz smirks. "Friends huh?"

Twilight smiles. "Being queen has a few perks."

"Does that make me the king?" Blitz asks.

Twilight opens her mouth to speak before thinking. 'Chrissy, help me.'

'Well, you can declare him a king if you want. Your word still carries power even if he gives one. Also, this happens the next time you mate.' Chrysalis said.

"I'll take your silence as a yes." Blitz says.

Twilight hits him. "Can't I talk to Chrysalis in peace?"

"Huh?" Blitz asks.

Twilight sighs. "Chrysalis is in my head." She said pointing to her head.

"I see." Blitz says after a few minutes.

Twilight looks a bit away. "So now you think I'm crazy?"

"So that's how you used that technique last night." Blitz says petting her mane.

Twilight blushes a bit. "Um…well…sh…shut up!"

"Love you." Blitz says.

Twilight keeps blushing bright green a bit mixed with red on her cheeks. "Um…love you too." She whispered.

Blitz smiles and nuzzles her.

Twilight sighs and leans against his chest. "Blitz?"

"Yes?" Blitz asks.

Twilight looks up at him. "Can you hold me during the trip? I think I need to spend some more time alone with you."

"My pleasure." Blitz says.

Twilight sighs. "Okay, let me grab a few drones and guards and let's grab a ship."

"As you wish." Blitz says.

Twilight pokes his chest. "And you are going to grab a shield."

"Why?" Blitz asks confused.

Twilight frowns a bit. "Why would I let you go without protection, when I want a foal…or maybe eggs. But still, you are going to learn a shield spell in the next fifteen minutes." She said giving him a book.

"Why would I…teach away." Blitz says noticing her glare.

Twilight smirks and then gets confused. "Why did I act like that?"

"You were showing authority and it is kind of hot." Blitz says.

Twilight glares slightly at him to which he shrinks away and quickly opens the book to hide his face. "Chrissy, you have a lot of explaining to do." She said.

'Queen.' Chrysalis said simply.

'So what does that mean?' Twilight thinks.

Chrysalis giggles. 'Simply, you are going to be more commanding and more demanding too. Blitzkrieg there is not the top anymore.'

'When was he?' Twilight jokes.

Chrysalis laughs. 'Now you're getting it.'

"Ok…that is surprising and weird." Blitz says.

Twilight looks to him. "What is?"

"This formula isn't too much different from shield technology." Blitz says.

Twilight smiles. "Good, then learn fast because…see ya." She said quickly before teleportation out of the room.

"You, changeling." Blitz says looking at the lamp.

An armored changeling appears behind the lamp as it looks to him with a screech.

"Transform into any pony you like and accompany me, while I make travel arrangements." Blitz says.

The changeling nods and transformed into a stallion who quickly steps up to him.

"Good." Blitz says as they leave the room for the docks.

After a while, the changeling and Blitz was waiting by an old fishing boat he charted from an old pony was setting up the boat. "How much longer do you need?" Blitz asks him.

"A few days. I am running cargo to that port town." The pony says.

Blitz nods and sees Twilight walking down the dock with a lot more ponies behind her as one pushes a nearby thug into the water and leaves the pony in the water as they stop at Blitz and the changeling. "So?" Twilight asks.

"Making new friends? Also in a few days." Blitz says.

Twilight and the others look to the pony now trying to recover on the dock. "Sort of." She said turning back to him. "So what do you want to do while we wait?"

"Not sure. Want to invite any other pony?" Blitz asks.

Twilight smirks as she looks back to the ponies behind her whose eyes flashed green for a moment. "Yes I do. Cafe first though?"

"Sure." Blitz nods and soon frowns. "This is barely what I had in mind." He said as they sat in a cafe with all the other disguised changelings and they were guarding the area.

"You know they could use a few lessons in not being seen." Blitz says.

Twilight shrugs. "They just want to protect their queen. Still, might be fun with them watching us." She said licking her lips a little.

"As long as none touch you. Because I will burn them alive if they do." Blitz says.

Twilight giggles. "Well you let them watch and have fun by themselves or with the others and let them drench me?"

"They will not touch you or drench you." Blitz says.

Twilight whines a bit. "Aww, why not? Why not at least let them relieve themselves on me?" She asks while her frowns turns into a smirk.

"Because you are mine and mine alone." Blitz says.

Twilight raises an eyebrow a bit. "Really, because I thought you were mine."

"We are each other's that is why we are married." Blitz says.

Twilight then smirks again. "I got an idea." She said before turning to the disguised changeling as a mare. "You, come here." She said waving it over as she turns to Blitz. "There are changelings that are males and females." She said before turning back to the changeling right by her now. "Okay, you are going to grab at least six males and once we're going at it, you are going at them and also they are holding you down, got that?"

"So you are literally telling your subjects to get gangbanged…ok, where is my real wife? She isn't into that sort of thing that is Shadow." Blitz says glaring.

Twilight giggles. "That was before I became queen and now ruler of all remaining changelings and even Chrissy is loving it and if she was here she wants to be the female and instead of being consensual, it's non."

"You are playing me." Blitz says realizing what she was doing.

Twilight smirks. "Yeah, that's payback for not doing our first time not the way I wanted it."

"Oh boy. So who you inviting?" Blitz asks.

Twilight waves him off. "Don't worry, it's the female I asked for and those six males. You are going to watch them go at it while I go at you and you can't do anything the whole time."

"As long as they can't see us, I'm fine." Blitz says.

Twilight gives a lusty smile. "Aw, what's wrong? Afraid of being seen by your peers?" She asks as the female returns with the six males.

"Yes dear." Blitz says blushing a bit.

Twilight grins. "Well, too bad. You're mine and you are going to do what I want. So you are being seen, after all, how will they make you watch and show you everything?"

"Love please." Blitz practically begged.

Twilight sighs. "You can go at multiple wives in the same room, but not this?"

"I'm not a perfect stallion." Blitz offers.

Twilight tosses him a cookie. "You can still learn. Want to try because you'll don't care in the middle of it and onwards?"

"No, I'd rather our play time be alone and only for us." Blitz says.

Twilight sighs. "Now it's no fun for me, maybe you, but barely any for me."

"Maybe I can make it fun for you." Blitz says.

Twilight huffs. "In this, you can't do anything and your queen and her drones and warriors are doing everything. Which reminds me…" She turns to the group. "You're a drone right?" She asks the female to which she nods and then turns to the males. "And warriors?" All but one nods. "You, out and get a warrior. Need it tough and almost rapey as possible." To which the male leaves.

"Love, you're starting not to sound like my wife." Blitz says causing Twilight to freeze.

Twilight sits back down and look to her drink. "I guess its maybe because I've been a little needy lately."

"Then let me take care of you." Blitz says getting up and walking over to her.

Twilight looks to him. "What are you going to do?"

"Rock your world." Blitz says before picking her up.

Twilight squeaks as the whole changeling group looks at them. "Are we going to need to change to the honeymoon suite?"

"If you want to." Blitz says holding her closely.

Twilight smiles a bit. "We are going to be loud…well…those seven anyway." She said as she looks over to the group and the female actually blushing.

"That drone will lay eggs soon enough." Blitz whispers in Twilight's ear.

Blitz sighs as he steps into the bathroom as Twilight and the changelings set things up. "Okay guys, spell for letting us see you so do whatever and make it rough, but you can't see us, so tough luck. But you can feed off the love I will give you afterward. Alright, set yourself up on the floor over there and we'll take the bed." Twilight said as she set the bed a bit and lights up a spell.

Blitz keeps thinking as he steps out a bit cleaner before seeing the female changeling sitting in the lap of another male as they look to him and they nod their head to the bed. He nods back as they shake themselves and buzz their wings. Blitz presses his lips together as he steps through something and sits down on the bed by Twilight. "What are they doing?"

Twilight smiles as she leans against him. "Pheromones and readying their bodies. It's almost like ours, except more intriguing." She said reaching into his lap and starting to rub at a specific spot.

They watch as the male in front of the female moves to her and starts to lick her neck. "Preparing the body for the bite and the pain it might receive since the neck it's a vulnerable spot, even on a changeling." Twilight teaches as she kept going and Blitz was starting to squirm around.

The female changeling then felt multiple hooves grab onto her and being pulled at her hooves and one set had her head kept still. The male in front of her stopped licking and stood up and revealed what had been growing on all of them as a long pure black changeling cock and what Blitz saw that it didn't have any holes as their hooves. "Common misconception with them. It's almost like a pony, just they can change appearance. And when the prey gets feisty, it helps to squirm a little. Now squirm for your queen." Twilight said pushing him down onto the large bed and making him watch the action as the warrior pushes his cock into the female's mouth.

The changeling starts to rock back and forth as the other male changelings start to show themselves and make their cocks touch her all over as she actually starts to moan as the one she's sitting in the lap of start to rub himself against her. "The female has to submit or it will really hurt, more so for ponies." Twilight said as she straddles Blitz and rubs back and forth against him.

The changeling in her mouth starts to hiss as he puts a hoof behind her head and grabs it before making her do the work as he stood still and the others either rub against her or her jerk them off. "In this, the female has to please them or they will never stop and force themselves in this." Twilight starts licking his neck and whispered into his ear.

The female changeling now really moans as the one she's sitting one finally pushes himself into her plot hole and starts to rock her back and forth and sends her deeper on the changeling in front. Another changeling sits in front of her and moves his head out of the way while pushing his cock into her cunt and starts to help with the rocking. The female now really moans the two she was jerking off starts to push their cocks even closer to her head and the one left behind just rubs himself off.

The female moans and finally opens her blue eyes to the sight of the four changelings in front of her and looks to the cock in her as she was pushing into the changeling's crotch. The changeling looks down at her and grins before grabbing her horn and using it send her back and forth on him as the two on her hooves pull away and strokes themselves as the two under her starts to send her back and forth even harder, making her moan even louder.

Twilight moans in Blitz's ear as she feels the emotions and feeling from the changelings and lets his mast fill her and push all the way to the end. "Oh Blitz, you really need to know to mess us up. Watch the masters." She said, still making him look over to them.

He just watch as one of the changelings grabs a table and they force her off and leave her breathing hard before slamming her down onto the table and makes her screech before her mouth gets stuffed by the same changeling and then stuff on the other end with two cocks in her cunt and she moans loudly around the cock in her mouth as the leftover changelings put their cocks in the holes in her hooves and makes her stroke it.

"You feeling hot yet my stallion?" Twilight asks as Blitz tries to keep Twilight and the changelings in his view.

"Um…?" Blitz tries to say, but fails to come up with anything.

Twilight just bites his ear as she starts moving up and down on him and makes him try to put his hooves on her hips, but she stops him and pins him down. "No, you are going to enjoy this. Now watch the show."

Blitz just stares at the changelings starting to speed up a little as the female looks almost helplessly around before she squeals and cums around the moving cocks and tries to breath as she came down, but then tenses up as the males go at her again and this time harder. She keeps gaining in volume of moaning before the male in her mouth started thrusting erratically and then stops deep into her mouth and cums which makes the female's cheeks bloat out before cum spews around his cock and he moans in relief as he slightly thrust as he got down from his high.

The two in her cunt started to thrust all they have and forgot about rhythm as the one in her mouth pulls out with cum just pooling out of her mouth and leaving a sticky stand on her face as he kept cumming on her. "They are saying bitch, whore, and slut. Know why, that's all she's good for now. A good breeder and good breeders don't leave a single drop." Twilight said as the female starts trying to lick up the mess. But then gives up as the two in her cunt starts to hit her hard and make the table creek from the swaying as they groan before one stops and plants himself deep before cumming and soon cum spews out around him and the other one, making him go faster from the increased lubrication before he too cums and pushes himself deep.

The female groans as the ones in her hooves cums as well all over her before they finally stop and pull out from her and makes her leak all over before she tries to lick everything up and even bending down to her cunt and tries licking off the excess as the males gets hard again. "Note that the group needs to do this multiple times to make sure the female gets pregnant with eggs or foals. This also to ensure the female gets many of them to ensure survival." Twilight said as she sped up and now they start making noise and makes Twilight flares her wings out.

The female changeling looks up from her cleaning and notices the males all looking at her while sporting hard cocks at attention and soon rolls off the table and onto the ground to which a male grabs one of her hooves and drags her to them. She is hoisted up by her head before being slapped back to the floor again.

The female weakly looks up at them before being grabbed and then held from behind as one stuffs it into her cunt and starts thrusting into her and makes her jump before the other five pose their cocks right at her cunt she feels all of them trying to fit in. "Stop." She hisses.

Blitz watches as the female gets slapped and punch at as they try and get in and only succeed in getting the heads in before they just move from that point as she kept being beaten until the first couldn't take it and cums into her before pulling out and making a mess spill out onto the floor to which another one pushes himself in fully before cumming himself and makes the mess pile bigger.

Blitz groans as he feels Twilight going faster and soon the pile becomes bigger under the female that when the final one gets himself in fully and every other pulls out and strokes themselves, the male leans down and makes her turn around while still embedded in her and pushes her face into the cum pile and thrusts into her until he too, cums as well and groans as the full changeling moans and drinks the cum on the ground.

"They're saying have our hatchlings slut. Such a bad changeling. A changeling only good for one thing, being breed. Now come on my stallion, breed me." Twilight whispered as Blitz finally moans and thrusts up into her and cums from the sight of the abused changeling and having cum leaking from all over and even her holed hooves. "Yes, lick and drink it all slut or we will go again and that you have to dig deep for." Twilight translated as she cums too and pushes herself down completely.

The female moans and tries to suck in all the cum around her and feels like throwing up at taking in too much, but keeps going as she feels the limp cock start to slap at her sides.

"Like the view, my stallion? The lust filled view of my future brood mother finally getting the treatment she deserves." Twilight asks as Blitz finally finished and still watch the action as one of the males hoists the female up and holds her at waist length. "You didn't finish it. Now pay." Twilight translated before she goes again as the males forced themselves into her mouth, sometimes more than one and rock themselves back and forth on her locked head while the other stroke themselves at the sight.

Twilight moans in Blitz's ear as she leans back. "Yes, take me." To which Blitz was able to grab her hips and starts slamming her on him again and partially watches the action happening as the males finally cums in her mouth and makes a lot more spill out as the female tries to push them off until she gives up and lets her hooves go limp at her sides and we're now just moving around helplessly as the males pull out and cum onto her face as she looks up at them into be covered in the eyes by cum before they throw her to the ground the other three grab her and hits her in the head a bit before giving her mouth open and pushing themselves inside.

The female moans weakly as the males finally cum in her before long and promptly pulls out before throwing her to the ground and cums on her tired body. Blitz groans and cums into Twilight as she moans before collapsing into him. "That was amazing." She said after a while.

Blitz nods and looks to the group. "What about her?" He asks, seeing the female still on the ground.

Twilight groans as she got off of Blitz before walking over to the female and sits over her and makes the female lick her off a bit before standing up again. "There, she's officially a broodmother, in other words, a relief for males. Sorry, coming down from the high." Twilight said heading back to Blitz. "You two." She said looking to the males sitting in a group a bit away. "Take her to the bathroom and clean her up and the rest of you clean up this mess." She said making Blitz go into her again as the spell drops.

Blitz looks up at him. "Another round?"

Twilight shakes her head and leans on his chest. "No, just sleep like this."

Blitz sighs as he wraps his hooves around her. "Alright love, whatever you need."

Twilight moans in content as the changelings brought out the female before placing her next to them. "They said its best she receives the love now and in a thin small amount until it's enough."

Blitz nods. "As long as she keeps to herself my queen."

Twilight smiles and kisses his chest. "Thanks Blitz." She said as the changelings finished cleaning up and slept on either the bed with them or on the ceiling.

"So that is Nassau?" Twilight asks looking at the port in the distance.

Blitz nods as he helps tends to the female changeling who was still recovering with the other healers. "Yep, infamous hiding place."

Twilight sighs and looks back to him. "How's she?"

Blitz shrugs. "She'll be fine, just too much at such a fast pace. I'm surprised she stayed awake to the entire thing."

Twilight smirks. "She's a broodmother."

"Well she is now at least. She was just a regular drone." Blitz says.

Twilight giggles. "That's because of that one kiss containing the goo needed for the change. So how are you feeling?" She asks him.

"I should be asking you that. So you feeling more yourself now?" Blitz asks.

Twilight smiles. "Yeah, thanks for that. I think any more time and I would have gone to really crazy demands." She said wrapping a hoof around him.

"Just let me know if you ever need me." Blitz says before kissing her neck.

Twilight moans a bit as she guides him around. "Oh you stallion."

"We best save that for later love. We will be docking soon." Blitz says as he puts up her hood of her cloak and slipped on his sunglasses.

Twilight sighs and goes to the female and helps her up. "You're going to be okay, right?" She asks to which she gets a nod. "Good, because you and two others are watching our ride home. Don't want to hurt these little ones." She said tapping the changeling's stomach.

"Land ho!" The captain yells.

Twilight steps up next to Blitz on the side of the ship as it slowly rounds a rocky corner and ends up near an old dock that looks old rotten. "Um…you sure you sensed somepony on this island?" Blitz asks looking over the dock.

"Yeah, but I can only narrow it down to this island with my last spell. Now that we are here, I should be able to narrow the area down even more." Twilight says.

Blitz carefully steps off the boat and tests the dock. "Only a few at a time and do the spell on solid ground Twi." He said heading for the land.

"Ok." Twilight says taking his hoof.

Twilight carefully steps onto the dock before in one spot of her hoof landing does it break and go through, but she quickly catches herself and they quickly head for the land. "Okay, now let's see." Twilight said as soon as they were on solid ground and she lights up her horn and the changelings catch up with them.

Twilight points towards the buildings a little ways away. "I'm going to guess we landed on an old dock." Blitz says.

Twilight nods and they heads towards it and steps into the jungle piece of the island and soon one of the changelings steps on something and it was lifted up in a net. "Help." It buzzed.

Blitz shakes his head before using his magic to grab the net and cut it before bringing it back down to the ground. "Be careful, this is a pirate's den." Blitz reminds.

They all nod and continue on and when they find a trap, they either cut the line making it go off or go over it or around it. "It should be around here." Twilight said as she pushes a large leaf out of the way.

"And there is the pirate's den. And I think I see some of the most wanted pirates in this sea." Blitz says as his glasses zoomed in.

Twilight watches as they all just sit around a small fire around the small entrance to what looked like a tavern. "Enough for you to bother with?"

"Let's just say cha ching if I was going to hunt them, but I'm on a personal business. See that earth pony there. That is Black Mane." Blitz says pointing.

Twilight looks to the one with the long mane wrapping slightly around him. "That's weird, he's reported to be dead a long time ago."

"Yeah, supposedly was killed by a solar guard. Obviously was a lie to advance himself." Blitz says

Twilight shrugs. "Or maybe to finally retire. What's the plan?"

"We walk right in." Blitz says.

Twilight looks to him. "Walk in?"

"This is pirate territory and we have nothing too valuable on us. You hide and hold onto this briefcase." Blitz commands one of the warriors.

The warrior holds the case as the others stand by him and two went with Twilight and Blitz as they came out. "So what do we do when they start talking then?" She asks.

"We don't, we let them come to us. Just follow my lead. I've dealt with pirates before." Blitz says as they made their way into the town and towards the tavern.

Twilight tries to breathe carefully as they step up into the tavern and everything stops as they stare at the group. "What's the meaning of this?" One pirate asks.

Blitz doesn't respond and just goes to the bar, taking note of some of the more famous pirates. Twilight and the changelings follows and stands by him.

Blitz throws a few gold coins onto the bare and the barkeep brings out a glass and pours some rum into it. Blitz then downs it in one gulp as he just waits.

"What the fuck are they doing here? Who invited them?" Black Mane asks.

"I go where I please and this seems to be where the dead gather." Blitz says.

The pirates all look to each other and then laugh out loud. "Let's see, two insects, one barking stallion and one pretty mare to have." A pirate said.

"Touch her and die." Blitz says with no hint of remorse.

"Bark." Another sang.

Blitz says nothing else, taking another shot.

Twilight leans over to him. She just gives him a look that said, 'what now?'

'Wait.' Blitz says as a loud pirate enters.

"Alright, what the fuck is going on here?" A pony with a bandana wrapped around his head enters and sees the group. "Oh, that's something."

"Well, well, Jack Rackham, the pirate captain with one of the shortest lived captain careers." Blitz remarks.

"Oy." Jack said. "Watch it. I can still steer a strong crew."

"Oh yes, your legendary crew that couldn't beat a bunny." Blitz remarks causing many to laugh.

"He's got ya there Jack." A voice in the corner says.

"Shut it Kidd." Jack says, mad he was being humiliated by the newcomer.

Kidd laughs as he drowns a mug. "Please, he's right about one thing. You're whole life and just one crew and five ships? How many lives has past you by? By my count, you have at least four more lives and you are going to have three left by the end of the day."

"He also has the lowest bounty here." Blitz adds.

They all laugh as Jack just growls. "What do you know? I could still live at this point."

"This point." Kidd reminds, making them all laugh harder.

Blitz makes no comment and just downs his third shot, showing no signs of getting drunk yet.

Twilight just watch him drink. 'How?'

"High tolerance, remember." Blitz says. "Can you tell which one?" Blitz whispers.

Twilight smirks. "You couldn't hold that long last night and came when they did and then when I was finished." She whispered back.

"Twi remember why we are here." Blitz whispers back.

Twilight sighs and jumps up and sits down on the counter. "Too much tolerance if you ask me." She said kicking her hooves a bit.

"You are not going to tell me are you?" Blitz asks.

Twilight shrugs. "Don't even know."

"So hey there cute thing, how about you spend the night with a real stallion?" Jack asks leaning against the bar near her.

Twilight just looks to him. "So you think I'm a bimbo? A mare ready to be taken away at a moment's notice and then have fun. Please, you obviously can't even hold that weapon of yours straight." She asks out of the blue which makes everypony with her stare at her. She then takes the drink the bartender gave to her before splashing it in his face. "Come back when you have the largest fleet in the world and then we'll talk which may be never depending on your lives."

"That is if I let him live." Blitz says obviously mad now and starting expelling an aura that made many of the residents gulp.

Twilight just lays down and puts her head close to his. "Not before my guards do." She said to the almost silent guards glaring at Jack.

"Take him outside, no need to make a mess in here." Blitz adds, his anger and aura lifting.

The guards hisses at him to which he back off a bit. Twilight sighs and lays herself down on the table. "So what now?" She whispered.

"Black Mane is coming over as well as Kidd, give them some room." Blitz says.

Twilight sighs and jumps down before standing right by him. "So what are we going to say?" She asks.

"We shall see." Blitz says as the two came up beside him.

Black Mane sighs. "You got our attention. What do you want?"

"I'm looking for somepony." Blitz says.

Kidd drowns a bit of his mug. "And that is?"

"Unsure, just know the pony is here." Blitz says.

Black Mane grumbles. "And that be in what direction?"

"This port." Blitz says.

Kidd sighs. "That isn't much to go on you know."

"I know." Blitz looked at Kidd and as he did, he couldn't shake that something was not as it seemed.

Kidd notices the stare. "What?"

"Can't help but think I'm missing something." Blitz says before getting up.

They watch as he got up. "And what be that?" Black Mane asks.

"I don't know yet, but I bet Kidd does." Blitz says walking away with Twilight and the two changelings following.

Black Mane looks to Kidd. "What's he talking about?"

"Leave it be Mane. I'm going to go talk to the guy." Kidd says.

Twilight leans over to Blitz as they walk to the edge of town. "You sure that worked?"

"Kidd's following us. You mind letting me talk with him alone?" Blitz asks.

Twilight nods and walks into the jungle with the two changelings as Blitz waited at the edge of the town. "What do you want?" He asks.

"What do ya really know?" Kidd asks as Blitz examines him again.

"Well I know now that I should be callin ya Ms. Kidd." Blitz says noticing a few feature better in the lighting.

Kidd only stares at him before smirking. "What gave it away?"

"Your disguise is good. I would say you have been doing it for most of your life, but your feathers are slightly smaller and more curved back. Second your eyes are a little too large for a stallion pegasus. So who are you really as I assume that James Kidd is just an alias?" Blitz says.

Kidd just sighs and takes off his headdress before shaking his…her head around and makes a longer mane move around. "You're brighter than most stallions in this dump." Kidd said.

"I pride myself on it. So tell me, can ya guess my purpose here?" Blitz asks leaning against a tree.

Kidd shrugs. "No demands for gold or maps. You looking for somepony so there's that."

"Aye, but for what reason?" Blitz asks.

Kidd sighs. "No idea, only you can tell."

"Ok, I will be straight with ya. I'm looking for one of me birth parents. A powerful spell was cast to tell me where they be. It pointed me here. So here I be in the den of pirates like ye self." Blitz says.

Kidd huffs. "And who are ye looking fer?"

"I don't know, the spell gave me a location, but nothing else. Oh, that reminds me. It's rude not to introduce yerself. My name is Blitzkrieg." Blitz says.

Kidd nods. "Mary, Mary Read."

"You flinched slightly at me name. Does it hold one meaning fer ya?" Blitz asks.

Mary smirks. "Maybe."

"I was left on a church steps in Manehatten." Blitz says getting her to flinch again.

Mary frowns. "It was for your own good."

Blitz freezes. "Wait, what did ya just say?" Blitz asks.

Mary sighs. "It was for your own good. What life would you have gotten if ye stayed with me?"

"So yer me mother?" Blitz asks examining her again.

Mary tries to look at him. "Surprise." She tries to say.

"Well I think I understand where my greatest wish of wanting to fly on my own came from." Blitz says offhoofedly.

Mary laughs a bit. "Yeah, that would be your father who as somewhat the same."

"I know only one of ye were dead." Blitz says.

Mary nods. "Attempt at getting some materials. But, I had you with me, so I placed you there in the confusion."

"The pirate raid that the guards themselves set fire to Manehatten." Blitz says walking over to her as he took off his glasses.

Mary smiles. "You got your father's eyes."

"Yeah." Blitz says before hugging her.

Mary sighs as she hugs back. "Hello son."

"Hey mum." Blitz says before pausing. "Twi, you can come out now." Blitz says.

Mary looks over to mare coming out. "And what's the princess doing here?"

"Well…" Blitz paused.

"I'm his wife." Twilight says.

"What?" Mary asked after a while.

"Yeah, oh Celestia is going to have kittens if she ever finds out an alicorn princess married the son of a notorious pirate." Blitz says as a smile creeped onto his face.

Twilight smirks a bit. "Really now, my famous bounty hunter is a pirate, no wonder you fight so well."

"Hey my accomplishments as Southern Cross are from my own hard work." Blitz says.

Mary smiled. "And maybe luck."

"And skill and planning." Blitz adds.

Twilight still smirks. "And still luck."

"So mom…should we try and get to know each other better?" Blitz asks unsure.

Mary presses her lips together and looks back to the town before looking to him. "Come on. I know a spot." She said walking into the forest.

"Alright. Come out and bring the case." Blitz calls.

Mary watches as more changelings appear and one of them was carrying a case. "Planning to make a deal?"

"No, this is how I store my equipment. More inconspicuous." Blitz explains as the changeling gives the case to him.

Mary chuckles as they head up to the cliff face. "Wish we could have that. Pretty helpful for what we do."

"Huh?" Blitz asks.

Mary smiled. "Raids."

"Yeah, like the twenty cannon salute is so inconspicuous." Blitz says.

Mary laughs as they stop at a cliff and they see the city in the horizon. "That's just our distraction."

"Why, you snuck in as the guards to try and launch magic blasts at the ships." Blitz says.

Mary shrugs. "More trouble, more chaos, more easily to get in and get what we need."

"So what were you after in the raid before you left me on the steps?" Blitz asks.

Mary sighs. "Papers. More specifically, those that has in the numerous crimes. No papers, no trial."

"So the true reason behind the raid was to destroy evidence." Blitz says.

Mary nods. "Yep, to let us begin anew. Now what about you, besides trying to find your parents?"

"My life has been interesting to say the least." Blitz says.

Mary sits down. "Do tell."

Blitz sighs as he sits down with her. "I am Southern Cross. Does the name mean anything to you or the other pirates?" Blitz asks.

Mary nods. "It should, we joke about how this guy should be leading his own fleet and crew. You are doing that, right? If not, you're not living up to my legacy."

"I was recently awarded my own clan by my leader Mandalore." Blitz says.

Mary laughs. "Congratulations. So what, you travel around and plunder?"

"In between jobs right now." Blitz says.

Mary looks to him. "Jobs huh? At least you went down a better path."

"Well, hard to say as I have lived on the battlefield for over a decade." Blitz says.

Mary looks surprised a bit. "Well we have been on the sea all our lives. No different."

"I guess not to some extent." Blitz says.

Mary nods. "Yes, most see it as a way to escape. It's just a way of life for us, a dangerous life."

"And neither of us can leave the life, can we?" Blitz asks.

Mary shakes her head. "No, just live and hope for the best."

"I really do take after you." Blitz says smiling.

Mary smiles. "Yes you do, but you also still take after your father."

"My good looks?" Blitz jokes causing Mary to snicker.

Mary nods. "Yes, he was always a charming stallion. And those eyes of his, stunning and able to sway any mare on this island. But that didn't do well with me so he worked for it and he deserved it."

"Yeah, so odd question, you heard about Equestria's latest and most unusual edict Celestia made?" Blitz asks.

Mary shrugs. "Here and there, question. Why make the females choose? Shouldn't it be the males' choice?"

"Female dominated country. Mares mostly in charge of everything." Blitz says.

Mary shudders a bit. "Just think what would happen if males are in charge?"

"Not much difference really." Blitz says.

Mary stares at him. "That's only the boring and lazy ones, I meant the ones who really do things and I mean things all over."

"Depends on what they do. They do right by the people, they can stay. They do wrong and you cut them out like the parasite they are." Blitz says.

Mary nods. "At least mine are good."

"Yeah, can't say the same for some I have killed." Blitz says.

Mary shrugs. "Hey, you have yours and I have mine."

"Do you think if my clan establishes a base here we could get along with the pirates?" Blitz asks.

May tries to think. "Don't know. Time will tell for that."

Blitz remains quiet as Twilight smirks. "Oh Blitz, do you want an excuse to come here every once in a while?" Twilight asks.

Blitz sighs and closes his eyes. "Mom, do ya want to travel more than this place can offer?"

Mary raises an eyebrow.

Blitz keeps his eyes closed. "Someplace more on the adventuring than the sea?"

"What do you mean?" Mary asks.

"Minerva, reveal the ship, but only to us on the cliff." Blitz commands.

Mary gets confused before the air in front of the cliff and shows only a glass panel of a weird design to her. "There." Minerva said as she sat in the captain's seat.

"You said the sea, but I have traveled the galaxies." Blitz says smiling at Mary.

Mary keeps looking at the ship. "Um…"

"So what do you say? Come with me and we become a part of each other's lives?" Blitz offers.

Mary sighs and looks to him. "Just one trip."

Mary was just staring at the large sun. "Huh, so that's what's cooking us most of the time."

"And you have only seen one world. Why don't you come with me, meet my wives and maybe be a part of your grandfoal who is on its way right now?" Blitz asks.

Mary looks back to him. "More wives?"

"Remember edict. Southern Cross was highly sought after." Blitz says.

Mary smiled a little. "Who's the highest in the group?"

"Princess Twilight. Now queen of the changelings." Blitz says.

Mary looks to her. "Queen of changelings?"

"Yeah, it a new change." Twilight says.

Mary chuckles. "So how does it feel being two rulers at once?"

"Not that different really. I didn't really have that much say in Equestria, but now I have loyal subjects and territory in the Changeling forests." Twilight says.

Mary smiles. "So what do you do out here?"

"A lot of things and right now, I'm considering forming a fleet of my own. This is just my personal ship, but it would be like a rowboat to you all. The Darkline though is a frigate spaceship." Blitz says.

Mary looks surprised. "My little colt, planning a fleet and has two ships? What would Jack think of my life now?"

"Jack, is that my father's name?" Blitz asks.

Mary shakes her head. "No, Jack Rackham. Just thinking of what he would say when my own colt is better than him."

"Oh, I have been for a while. Minerva, what is my current count on ships destroyed?" Blitz asks.

Minerva steps up near him. "At least around fifty, maybe a hundred." She said with a smirk.

"Just frigates and Battleships. No fighters." Blitz requests.

Minerva giggles. "Around thirty."

Mary looks to the new mare. "Um…who's she?"

"Minerva was the artificial intelligence for the Darkstar One. Only recently has become half organic with the help of Twilight and her magic." Blitz says.

Mary then smirks. "You planning on bedding her then?"

"She went through all of that just to be with me. I don't have the heart to turn her down." Blitz says and Mary punches his shoulder as she smirks.

Mary then laughs. "My little colt now being in love by all kinds. What's next, creatures from another world falling in love?"

"Well there was that togruta female, Ahsoka Tano, but that didn't go anywhere." Blitz says.

Twilight stares at him. "How many did you have, other than her and Aria?"

"Aria does not count. She thought I was a non-sentient creature and wanted me as a pet." Blitz defends.

Twilight smirks. "And you still are."

"Oh, ha, ha. As for your question, only Ahsoka and I ever came close, but there were complications." Blitz says trailing off.

Mary sits down in one of the chairs. "Like what?"

"She was a jedi. Think a multi species order of warrior monks that can use a power called the force. Very powerful, but also mostly very arrogant." Blitz says.

Twilight sits in front of him. "How so?"

"They carry swords made of pure energy and can deflect blaster bolts and with the force, increasing their senses and physical abilities can cut through entire platoons, but that much power makes everything a little arrogant so they are vulnerable to less straight forward tactics like poison gas." Blitz says.

Mary shrugs. "Honor bound maybe."

"They like to break the laws if it sought their righteous attitudes. We Mandalorians have been enemies with them mostly for a long time now since the Mandalorian crusade." Blitz says.

Mary leans back. "And that's the problem with that jedi girl?"

"Jedi are forbidden to love. And she is a Jedi. I decide to leave to make her not have to choose because she loved being a jedi." Blitz says bluntly.

Minerva jumps into his lap. "Luckily, he found us."

"You I had before I met her." Blitz says.

Minerva pokes his muzzle. "I meant officially."

"So mom, what do you say, will you stay?" Blitz asks.

Mary smiles. "Can I get a better outfit?"

"Done." Blitz sys without thinking about it.

Mary chuckles. "So what now?"

Blitz smiles. "Back to land and get ready to leave in a few months."

"Take me back, I got to tell my crew I won't be sailing for a bit." Mary says.

"Why not bring them along. I'm willing to hire them." Blitz says.

Mary raises an eyebrow. "A ship full of pirates, what would everyone say?"

"Like I care what others say. If they can do the job, they are hired." Blitz says.

Mary looks to him before sighing. "Alright. How long?"

"Take us down Minerva. I got a recruitment drive to do." Blitz says getting up and opening his briefcase.

Mary looks to the case. "So what does that have?"

"One of my armors." Blitz says starting to put it on.

Mary watches as he wears the armor. "Anything special?"

"This armor was designed for water and land combat." Blitz says as he puts on the light blue helmet on her head as he showed systems and weapons.

Mary looks to it on her. "Huh, anything else?"

"One of my favorite features." Blitz says taking the helmet off of her and putting it on before disappearing.

Mary smiled. "Wow, how good is that?"

"Very good, I could sneak in, kill Jack and be off the island before anypony realizes he is dead." Blitz says behind her.

Mary chuckles. "Let's not do that."

"Just sayin is all, now shall we go and recruit who we can?" Blitz asks.

Mary smirks. "That will be easy, the hard part is getting them in order a bit. Where's your other ship?"

"It's a little too big to bring onto the planet and go unnoticed and most leaders have decided to ease the citizens into the idea." Blitz says.

Mary shrugs. "Then where is it still?"

"At a Mandalorian port undergoing maintenance." Blitz says.

Mary nods. "And when do you get it back?"

"In less than a month. Until then, your crew can live in the town the clan's base is located in. I made sure the tavern is well stocked and it's becoming a good trading town now." Blitz says.

Mary smiles. "Great, I'll see what I can do. Now what about you?"

"I'm coming with you." Blitz says, his voice slightly altered from the helmet.

Mary chuckles. "Alright son, let's get this done."

Blitz chuckles as he watches the new recruits trying the simulator on space life and almost failing miserably. "Oh boy, this would take a while."

"What do you expect, they are sailors? They lived their lives on the planet's seas." Twilight says.

"Speaking of sailors, what are you going to do with your ship?" Blitz asks his mother.

Mary shrugs. "Maybe retire it, it's been a while with it."

"Well you have time to think on it. So what did you tell Black Mane when you asked to let you talk to him alone before we left?" Blitz asks.

Mary smiles. "He thinks it's time for us to find better lives, especially for the town."

Twilight looks to her. "And he's okay with you leaving?"

"I let him in on my little secret and told him I have decided to go with my son who was in the tavern earlier." Mary says.

Blitz smiles. "That's good. We have a lot of catching up…now there's something you never see." He said seeing the sailors now bundled up together like a large ball. "We tried and failed for some reason. Maybe because we never linked anywhere."

"So you taking us to this town?" Mary asks.

"Yes, for them it will be their temporary home. We will be heading to Ponyville afterwards. I'm sure the rest will want to meet you in the flesh especially Octavia." Blitz says.

Mary looks to him. "Isn't that the one pregnant with your foal?"

"Exactly." Blitz says.

Mary suddenly has him in a headlock. "And you have been taking care of her, right?" She emphasized by squeezing his neck.

"Yes mum." Blitz smiled even though she was back to wearing her Kidd outfit. "You mind wearing that when you meet with them and see who picks up on you not being a stallion?" Blitz asks.

Mary smirks and lets him go. "Good and I would be happy to. Let's see how smart these mares are."

"Varying degrees, oh and I have three members of the Wonderbolts and the leader of the Shadowbolts as wives." Blitz says.

Mary laughs. "Really, the performance teams. How the heck did you manage that?"

Blitz smiles. "Just being good."

Mary sighs. "Just like your father."

"Ok, to tell the truth, all but one held a torch for me after I saved their lives." Blitz says.

Mary raises an eyebrow. "And who was that?"

"A terrorist called the crippler." Blitz says.

Mary hisses. "So you were involved in that. The infamous criminal of making celebrities lives tough."

"Brought him down happily and that was a bonus while I hunted another bounty." Blitz says.

Mary smiles. "Good and bounty hunting huh? What am I worth?"

"Exactly thirty-four thousand bits." Blitz says.

Mary smirks. "You going to turn in your own mother boy?"

"Not on your life. I just found you and I'm not going to give you up without a fight." Blitz says.

Mary hugs him. "Good boy. Now what to do now?"

"Sit back and try out that chair over there. It massages and reclines." Blitz says.

Mary giggles. "Alright. But you better be ready to give your mother an adventure of a lifetime."

"Oh don't worry about that." Blitz says heading to the cockpit.

Chapter 1 (Part 5): The Light of Many

When they arrived, they found most of the soldiers were lounging around or were just slacking off.

Silver groans and covers his face. "It's a good thing my father isn't here. Give me a sec." He said walking away from them and to the soldiers. "Oy! You want to be attacked or watched like this?! Yes, I see you two! Now if you don't want to be caught upside down and hanged like a piñata, I suggest you start making the barriers and weapons and then cover them up so we don't look like we are making war! You got that?!"

Blitz watches as the soldiers started getting their acts together.

Silver still groans. "Hard to believe these are mostly new recruits. Thank goodness that we are mostly a proud race and really take offense sometimes."

"Now that we are here, we should start building fortifications as we are too exposed out here." Blitz advices.

Silver nods. "Yes, we are now working on that hiding the weapons placement in the area. This spot was once an ambush spot and besides being buried, some bunkers in the hills should still hold."

"But will they be reliable with the Diamond Dogs digging abilities?" Blitz asks.

Silver chuckles. "This place was the spot for a diamond dog war. We had to make bunkers against them. The way the bunkers are made is so they can't dig behind them or get inside them. And if they take it, then the backend is wide open for us to kill any inside. Smart making on our part, but there are some flaws as they were using spears and everything back then and the openings are a little big for us to use with the weapons we got. By that, I mean they can get a clean shot at us if they have to."

"That is why we make new fortifications, making them fight us on our terms and not theirs." Blitz says.

Silver nods. "At least we should make openings on our side so in case we lose and they to turn the weapons around, we can get them easily."

"You're thinking like a commander." Blitz says.

Silver shrugs. "Got to think just in case we lose this area, we make it easy for us to take out while being heavily defended facing one way."

"Well shall we get started making the fortifications?" Blitz asks.

Silver nods. "Come on, those guys need some help." He said heading to a few trying to get into one of the bunkers now uncovered. Blitz nods as he and Lightning go and help.

It had been nearly a week as Blitz was on night watch, carefully looking over the plan on the wall that was built by them, looking over to the vase on the stand every so often to make sure it hadn't fallen off the pedestal indicating tunnels were being dug under them.

"How's it going?" Silver asks, coming up to him.

"All is quiet so far. I haven't seen any diamond dogs since we captured that scout five days ago." Blitz says.

Silver nods and sits by him. "And yet, many can't sleep. Try my best, but I just end up letting them slowly fall into it. I also give them a boring book that would put anyone to sleep." He said smirking.

"It is mostly their first tour of duty. This is even Surge's first time on a military campaign." Blitz says.

Silver looks to him. "Really, no other battles?"

"She is a mandalorian, but she has never fought a huge battle…that seems like a little too much fire for the fort in the direction." Blitz comments, seeing the increase in light from a fire.

Silver looks confused and looks in the direction he's looking at and sees the large flame and smoke. "Oh boy." He said to himself before taking a crossbow and firing into the air as the arrowhead lights up in a red light. Soon the whole camp was bustling in activity and yelling orders as they got ready. "Guess we must be next. If I know that idiot, and I do, he would heading to the nearest encampment for help and that is us. More than likely he would bring some friends along for the trip."

Blitz's ears then perk up. "We got problems of our own." Blitz says getting up and pulls out his pistols before facing the forest at the other end of the plains.

Silver follows his view and looks that way as well. "So it seems. To arms!" He yells out to the troops below. "Cross, I need you hidden with Surge and taking out the most devastating ones you can find before they reach us. We can take care of the pawns they send in first."

"Surge, we are going stealth." Blitz says disappearing.

Silver sighs as he grabs a bigger crossbow than usual. "Okay, let's see this thing work." He said aiming before firing into the charging group below and actually hits one. "Nice, this thing is definitely my favorite weapon now." He said loading another bolt.

Lightning follows Blitz carefully. "So how far back?" She asks through the coms.

"Hunt and kill the officers. Put the fear of god into them to demoralize them." Blitz instructs before using his talons to cut an officer's throats.

Lightning jumps down behind one before pulling him back and uses her knife to cut his throat before he could say anything and leaves him behind in a bush. "And how many are there?"

"Unknown, just keep working and pace yourself." Blitz instructs as he completely decapitates another as arrows start flying down onto the charging dogs.

Lightning growls a little before landing on a branch and hangs upside down and slices the throat of another before pulling herself back up and keeps following. "Are we heading underground?"

"No, they will most likely try and flank them through the bunkers, but only one is about to and they will be in for a nasty surprise if they try." Blitz says.

Lightning smiled a little. "At least he would be getting some exercise." She said quickly swiping another throat as she runs past the dog.

"Don't you mean get a good meal?" Blitz asks as Lightning lands next to him in the tree as they are careful not to disturb the tree.

Lightning sighs as she watches the little camp. "Got anything?"

"I see the leader of the attack. Let's finish him." Blitz says quietly.

Lightning holds him. "Wait, look." She said pointing to him near a chest as he went to it.

"Don't let him have it. Put a shot through his head." Blitz orders.

Lightning quickly puts her hoof up and fires into the head and sends him down. "There, wonder what was in it."

"We'll find out after we get it back to the camp." Blitz says.

Lightning and quickly goes down before taking the small chest and heads back with Blitz as they come back to where they started and sees most of the forces now retreating. "How did it go?" Blitz asks.

Silver sighs as he puts the long crossbow down. "We had a few injuries and some out of commission for a while, but we were able to hold them back. Yours?"

Blitz sighs. "Got the commanders and we got something they were probably planning to use." He said as Lightning puts the chest down and looks over it. "What do we got?" He asks, looking to her.

Lightning sighs and looks to them. "Regular chest from the outside. Might be able to tell something from the inside though." She said trying to open it and couldn't. "Okay, my favorite game, lock picking." She said taking out two metal pieces from her forelegs.

Blitz turns back to Silver as Lightning begins. "This might take a while."

"Got it!"

"Or maybe just a few seconds." Blitz said looking to Lightning carefully opening it to see if there was anything there before opening it all the way. "It's…just a crystal." She said looking at the shard.

Silver and Blitz walk over and look inside. "Is this that valuable?"

Silver shakes his head. "Not by much like being rich amount. This can hold you out for at least a few months at best, but there has to be something else than just being for wealth. After all, they eat gems."

Blitz nods as he looks it over before seeing something inside that looks like a swirling energy. "Huh, it contains something. Maybe magic?"

Silver tilts his head and touches a talon to it before a flash of light exploded in front of them and when it died down did they see the front line of battle bathed in a magic bubble and what looks like all life is being dissolved away. "Close it!" Blitz yelled and Lightning shuts the box and the bubble dissipates.

Silver tries to breathe as he keeps watching the front line before taking off and flying down to it while Blitz and Lightning rushes over. "Anyone hurt?" Silver asks frantically.

"Sir?" A soldier asks warily.

They look over and see the soldier standing over another soldier who seems to have been eaten away like acid was poured over him. "What happened?" Blitz asks looking at him and scanning him.

The soldier shakes his head. "I don't know, one second we are minding our own business and moving more ammo until the next, this huge bubble pops up and he was caught in it and it looked like he was being eaten away like tiny creatures were on him. He hasn't woken up since."

Blitz sighs as he finished scanning. "I don't think he might be coming back for a bit." He said making them look at him. "He was being eaten away, yes. But he was being eaten everywhere, no matter if it was covered or not. Heck, his brain has lost some pieces of itself which looks like he's starting to dissolve away. Because of that effect, he can still live, but with the brain damage, I think he might be in a coma at this point."

They all look back to the soldier as he just lays there. "Send him back home. There is nothing here that can help him." Silver said before turning around and flying off.

They all watch as he flies off. "Surge, watch the box. Make sure that no one touches that crystal." Blitz said.

Lightning nods. "Yes sir. And you?"

Blitz sighs as he looks around and then notices the arrows that was fired on the bunkers and the front line field and notices that they sparkle a bit before the lighting goes down. "I'm going to do a little research." He said before disappearing and running off.

Lightning sighs. "I got to get back to the chest. Think you can handle this?" She asks the griffon still looking over the other.

The griffon nods. "Yeah, just a need a moment first."

Lightning nods and starts walking back to where they left the chest. "Surge, secure it somewhere the dogs will not recover it." Blitz says through the coms.

Lightning sighs. "Yes sir. What if they have another?"

"My gear recorded its signature already and I have a few allies who might be able to help with them." Blitz says as he sends a text based message to Minerva.

Lightning nods as she steps up besides the box and places it in another lock box before sitting on it. "Got it in another, now what do we do and by that I mean you?"

"I will help Silver keep this location under control get it out of here. I will tell Silver you are taking the thing out of reach of the dogs." He whispers to her as he seems to be flying through some trees from the sounds of leaves through the coms.

Lightning sighs as she then sees Silver walks back to the tent and sat down on the bed he had. "I don't think he's in the right mind since he activated the crystal." She spoke quietly.

"I know, now time for you and it to disappear." Blitz says.

Lightning nods before taking a quick look around and then opens the box she was sitting on and takes the case out before flying off. "To where?" Blitz didn't answer as she sees the name Darkstar One on her visor.

Lightning sighs as she tips her wings to another direction before stopping in a certain spot. Soon the air shimmered a bit in front of her as a door seems to have opened and four guards dressed in what looks like military armor and one dressed in what she can described as a cyborg cowboy. "Here." She said placing the box on the open door.

"Tell Cross we will take care of this quietly." The cowboy dressed one said.

Lightning nods and flies off as she looks back at the group as they place the box in another one of theirs before the door closes and the ship disappears again. "Blitz, it's done. How's your end?"

"Had to punch him to snap him out of his stupor. He is recovering now and the dogs have started to retreat, but the entire front of our fort has their bodies piled high. Bring me a few medkits, a few of our own were also wounded in the fighting." Blitz says.

Lightning sighs as she makes it to the med tent and grabs a few boxes before flying to the front of the field and sees a few soldiers lying around, some with missing limbs. "Geez, where did they get this thing?" She asks herself as she landed and helped passed out the kits.

"We already buried our own. You missed that morbid task." Blitz says coming up behind her.

Lightning looks to him. "You got the arrows that helped caused this?"

"Yeah, hidden away with one of our beacons on it. They should be picked up with the rest of the items." Blitz whispers as the words. 'Don't speak of it anymore.' Appeared on her visor.

Lightning nods. "Sorry, but what now? Heal the wounded and tried to redo the fortifications?"

"Until we receive orders otherwise. Also, some of the prisoners we captured said something interesting." Blitz says.

Lightning looks interested. "What's that?"

"You killed a chieftain in that battle when you killed the leader of this attack." Blitz informs.

Lightning now looks surprised. "So…does that mean…?"

"Give the credit to the whole unit Surge. We will get personal glory later. This is now a war and it has just started." Blitz says motioning her to follow.

Lightning started to follow along. "What's our next move now? Besides the regular orders we might get."

"You will most likely be sent out to scout." Blitz says.

Lightning nods. "I hope everyone gets through this." She said slightly looking back to the soldiers now being treated.

Blitz says nothing as a new message appears on her visor. 'We are going to lose soldiers. There is no getting around that.'

Lightning now looks down as he lead her to the main tent. "I see."

'This is war and in war there is no guarantees of survival. Now I want you to fly to the fort to our north in stealth and tell me what has happened. I want to know if the dogs have taken it or razed it to the ground.' She reads.

Lightning nods and takes off to the fort as Blitz looks to the map. "What do we do now that the dogs have attacked?" Blitz asks Silver.

"We…we hold our position. If we lose here, the dogs will have a clear path into the kingdom with nobody able to intercept them until they are deep within." Silver says.

"And hopefully the dogs are either smart enough to know that if they don't deal with us, they will be attacked from behind or have so much pride they won't let this defeat and the death of a warchief go without retribution." Blitz says.

Silver nods shakily a little. "Yeah, now we need to check up on the functions, but that can be checked tomorrow as most would be shaken up at this point."

"No that is a mistake. Now we must fortify even more. This will show them we are so confident we can beat them we are leisurely continuing to fortify. That is an insult added to injury." Blitz says as Silver nods, his face showing he understands the logic.

Silver sighs. "Alright, I'll try to lead the building again, maybe give the bunkers a few upgrades."

"We should keep the only one we haven't collapsed yet as that is the only one way they can bypass our fortification, but we should set out a few artillery platforms aiming into it at least. Terran may be fierce, but even he can't get all of a huge hoard rushing in." Blitz says.

Silver nods. "Yes, you got any other ideas that may help?"

"None that don't require more information, but we do know from our prisoners that they and two other clans were the vanguard and they attacked here and here." Blitz says pointing to the locations on the map.

Silver looks to the map too. "Let's see, those are obvious fortifications, the old forts from wars long ago. With a little upgrading they can hold up, but leave as they be and it would easy to fall and the ways to get through it in the best way possible like setting fire to it is one of the ways that still work."

"Yeah and we know that the three assaults were in unison. And the one south of us is manned by a veteran commander and we see no fire from there, but the one north of us we can clearly see the fire. I think that is all the indication we need." Blitz says.

Silver sighs as he ruffles the feathers on his head. "We are really in a storm of the century, aren't we?"

"Not yet. The war has only just begun." Blitz says looking over the map.

Silver groans a bit as he gets up and walks over to the map. "And do you have any idea what to expect?"

"I bet your former classmate has already fled away possibly to the capital." Blitz says.

Silver growls a little. "If that part falls now, we may allow an opening. We probably need to send a detachment."

"They would be slaughtered and the fort is most likely already fallen to the dogs." Blitz says.

"We may need to get it back soon. Otherwise we could be flanked if they launch another attack at us." Silver said looking the map over.

"That is if it is still enough to reclaim." Blitz says looking out at the lights in the distance.

Silver looks at well. "Actually, take it out and there isn't enough to work with and we won't be flanked that easily."

"The problem is we don't have enough information to take the proper course of action." Blitz says.

Silver sighs. "Yes, do you have a way to find a way to scout without being seen?"

"I will take care of that. Now get some rest." Blitz says walking out of the tent.

Silver sighs as he watches him leave before heading back to his bed. "Hard to believe he took on many battles of a harder nature."

The next day, Silver awoke to see Blitz still working on the fortifications. He sighs and walks over to him to see most of the damages and weapons a little upgrades since last night. "How are we doing?"

"Work in progress." Blitz says lifting several more stones into the air with his magic.

Silver nods and looks around a bit more. "Where's Surge?"

"She returned last night. The entire fort was razed to the ground." Blitz informs.

Silver sighs. "That's good, one less thing to watch out for. We can just watch the area with a few sentinels and not worry about keeping the fort."

"Correct. Also, there seems to be no word to reach the forces still there." Blitz says a plan already in mind.

Silver looks at him carefully. "You got something?"

"I think it's time to teach them." Blitz says setting the stones in place and soon Silver starts smirking.

Silver chuckles a little. "Alright, how much time?"

"How fast do you think a few of them can run?" Blitz asks.

Silver thinks for a few. "Tunnel, faster than us on paw, but out in the opening, you need a sleeker body."

"Tell them if they dig within our sight, we will shoot them in the backs. That way they won't discover this." Blitz says.

Silver nods and looks to the rest of the soldiers. "I'll tell the rest, anything else I should know?"

"Nothing else that demands the commander's attention." Blitz says.

Silver smiled a bit and started to walk off. "Keep up the good work."

A few days later a diamond dog warchief was laughing as his warriors tore down the last of the fortress as another warrior ran up to him. "What is it?" He growled.

"Warchief, warriors of the granet clan have arrived with news." The warrior says.

The chief turns to him. "And?"

"It was a crushing defeat and most were slain including your brother, he was slain in combat." The warrior says.

The chief growls. "Who dares to do that?"

"No one saw who did it, but we are told his head was placed on a spike on the fortifications." The warrior says.

The chief was growling a bit harder now. "I want you to find out and save him for me. Now get going!"

"But warchief, our orders were to hold this position and secure a way into the griffon's territory."

The chief rounds on him. "I want my brother's killer found out, now! Get the clan, we will attack and destroy that position." He growled lowly.

"Yes warchief." The warrior says knowing there was no way to dissuade him now.

The chief keeps growling as he looks to the front line ahead.

"The bait is set and now we just have wait." Blitz says watching from the new tower.

Silver nods as he watches through a telescope. "Yes, but we may have to move quickly once we deploy the trap."

"We shall see. Silver, you ready to go officer hunting again?" Blitz asks looking down at his squad who were being trained rigorously by a sergeant.

Silver nods. "Oh yes, I am ready to take down a large part of the force."

"If we win this, we will have crippled the vanguard even with the incompetent loss of your former classmate." Blitz says.

Silver growls a bit. "Watch it."

"I call those as I see them. He is the only one who lost a key location." Blitz says bluntly.

Silver sighs. "Still, sometimes it's best not to speak ill will of a close comrade."

"Is he really close to you though?" Blitz asks.

Silver huffs. "A comrade is still a comrade. You treat others with respect or lose your own."

"So what do you think what will happen to him after this? There is no getting around it was his fault, the fortress was destroyed and the king is not the most forgiving especially to noncompliance." Blitz says.

Silver shakes his head. "You clearly don't understand us. It's not the king, its family and you never disrespect that."

"I meant what will happen to him. He practically deserted in the face of the enemy if what some of the survivors of the fort says is true." Blitz says getting Silver's attention and interest.

Silver sighs. "Well, for some it's best to treat and give them the most respect you can. Even if others don't think that way."

"But the king cannot let him off and you, as a military leader, cannot simply dismiss this." Blitz says in a scolding manner.

Silver scoffs. "You don't think I know that. But, it's sometimes better to give, even if they don't deserve it, because once they learn why I'm giving it, then they learn pity and humiliation better. Double wound as it were."

"Oh, so the king should make him a general for losing an important point and deserting in face of the enemy?" Blitz says making Silver go silent. "Look, I don't know what history you two have, but you can't just defend him when he has done a lot of harm. If it wasn't true, I would defend him, but it is. That attitude is also the same as giving a serial killer full pardon after catching them and putting them in a city with loose law enforcement."

Silver frowns now. "So what, forget about and exile them so we don't have worry about them?"

"He won't exile him, that would practically burn the bridge with his family, but he will be punished. Your king is strict with the laws." Blitz says.

Silver huffs. "And then what, just forget about them and hope you don't see them in the city again as they left a stain on the army and nation?"

"This is something deeper, isn't it, something personal." Blitz says stopping Silver in his speech.

Silver sighs and walks away to get some weapons. "Just be ready with the trap."

"It has to do with your father punishing your big brother, doesn't it?" Blitz asks.

Silver stops for a moment and looks at him with an eye before walking again.

"What was he supposed to do, let him go unpunished?" Blitz asks bluntly.

Silver soon lets out a small growl. "Idiot."

"If you can respect or even approve of disciplinary actions, military isn't for you and I will ask you this. What about this, your friend abandoned to die? Where he basically said go die while I run away?" Blitz asks.

Silver looks at him. "You run away?" He asks confused.

"No, but you are or do you approve of that?" Blitz asks motioning to a pile of griffon corpses and Silver's friend just flapping over them, laughing.

Silver backs away little. "What, but we didn't lose that many. And he is still wrapped like a mummy." He said pointing to his brother now landed.

"That's right brother. We don't deserve punishment. So what if my beating of that may have resulted in losing her wing. She should feel grateful she was even touched by me." The brother says.

Silver now stops in his place. "Her?"

"Why?!" A griffon cries as Silver then sees his brother ordering the guards to throw her out.

Silver tries to run after her. "Keela!" He yelled before some doors shut in front of him.

"She is not worth your time brother. After all, they are all beneath us and only serve for our amusement or advancement."

Silver growls as he turns to him. "You're wrong!"

"Oh really?" The brother asks as Silver felt something under his talons.

Silver looks down and sees that he somehow wandered onto the pile of bodies. "But…I didn't…"

"No consequences." The corpses start chanting.

Silver tries to breathe and steps around them. "Consequence." He repeated.

"Kill who you want, betray who you want, do whatever you want. Nothing is worthy is to judge you."

Silver shakes his head. "No. That's wrong."

"Commander." Silver suddenly heard.

Silver growls a little before he stops. "No…they're right."

"That's right bother, you love looking down on others. Like when I hung that little servant boy for my amusement."

Silver shakes his head. "No, not that. The fact I was trying to believe I could at least give you something. At least then you won't feel alone. I wouldn't feel alone."

"Commander." Another voice is heard.

Silver smiled now. "Cause I still have family, Keela, my comrades and you." He said now looking up to him and walking forward a bit. "No matter what, you don't leave family and friends behind. That's a given. And no sense of punishment is going to break that bond."

"That is right, there is no punishment. They are all insects."

"No and you deserved the guillotine. I see and finally accept that now." Silver says.

"Guillotine? You would watch your brother die like a commoner?"

"You are already dead." Silver says before hearing Lightning's voice again. "Commander."

Silver sighs as he looks to his brother one last time before closing his eyes and soon cracks them open to the sight of Lightning standing over him. "Sorry about that. What's going on?" He said trying to sit up in his bed.

"The chief is asking for you. Said he spotted something." Lightning says.

Silver finally gets up and grabs his weapons. "Let's go." He said heading out.

Blitz was sitting at the top of the tower like he had for the last three days. On the walls, running off from it, the soldiers under his command had their bows at the ready.

"What's happening?" Silver asks as he came up to him.

"I believe I spotted some scouts." Blitz says.

Silver takes up a telescope and he looks through it. "Hey, question that's completely unrelated, what do you know of my brother?"

"You have a brother?" Blitz asks.

"Never mind." Silver said as he spotted them. "Soldiers ready?"

"Not just yet. We told them to get to their stations, but we are acting like this isn't a real cause for concern to piss them off." Blitz says pointing to a few who are leisurely getting into position acting half asleep while others are actually eating on the wall.

Silver chuckles. "I like you."

"Oh we also added something else while you were asleep." Blitz says as they unfurl a banner down the wall in the Diamond dog's languages. "I wonder if we were insulting enough." Blitz asks.

Silver smirks. "What's it say?"

Blitz smiles before starting to translate.

Meanwhile the dog warlord was practically screaming his head off in anger.

"Sir, just…ahh!" One yelled as the warlord took a swipe at him.

"Bring me all of their severed heads!" He screams.

Back at the fort. "And that is the gist of it." Blitz says.

Silver was laughing. "What will you think of next?"

"I don't know what you are talking about. I'm just following orders." Blitz says.

Silver sighs as he gains back control and looks back out the field again. "Quick count of what weapons and soldiers we got for battle."

"In truth we have only three hundred soldiers ready for combat and we have enough swords, shields, and spears, but we only have sixty arrows for each soldier, after that it will be a melee." Blitz answers.

Silver nods. "Okay, let's hope some traps would work. What do we got on that?"

"Well mostly we have the canal. We already have a few unicorns using their magic to sense in the canal and we have three different soldiers with whistle arrows for the signal." Blitz says.

Silver sighs. "Think you can make them flood the tunnels if they do dig under it?"

"They won't, we dug right above a granite deposit. They won't dig through that, it would take too long and is a little too valuable material to build with and with all the insults and mockery, the leader will want to kill us as soon as possible." Blitz says.

Silver nods. "Ground attack."

"No true traps. We just have to hope our defenses hold." Blitz says raising his right fore hoof and all the soldiers under his command notch their arrows.

Silver keeps watching the advance as he hears some groans. "Okay, only trees, ample cover if they're smart, but right now a bit forceful to please their commander if the insults work. Let's hope we can get most of them out of the tree line."

"I have one last trick up my sleeve." Blitz says bringing up his left forehoof. "Time to put the fear of god into these dogs." Blitz says before pushing a button and the entire three acres of trees closest to the front of the fort erupted into explosions. When the smoke finally clears, all the trees were leveled and the remains of the dogs were seen around the area.

Silver raises an eyebrow. "If the environmental griffons were here, they would have a field day with you."

"And I would tell them, go talk to the dogs over there if they have a complaint." Blitz says.

Silver chuckles as he sees some more dogs heading through some of the leftover burning parts of the fields. "Archers?"

"Twenty yards till they are within range. We have to make every shot count." Blitz says.

Silver picks up his large weapon. "Don't need to tell me that." He said aiming it.

"Ten yards." Blitz says as the dogs drew closer.

Silver aims carefully as he sees a big one with a large hammer. "Five."

"Open fire." Blitz says throwing down his right hoof.

Silver launches the arrow with the rest of the arrows going up in an arch before the arrows fall down and Silver's hits the dog straight into the neck and goes right through it. "I love this thing." Silver said loading another as the soldiers start firing their own arrows at will.

"Surge, start hunting." Blitz says.

Silver aims down again as he sees some dogs dropping near the tree line leftover from the fire and the edge. "You got a good soldier." He said firing and hitting another.

"She is a mandalorian. We Mandalorians, even though are militarily organized, are more like family than anything else." Blitz says noticing the vase on the stand starting to shake. "They have begun digging and are closing in."

Silver looks to it too. "Great, let's hope the traps placed may help minimize the amount coming out."

"Tell me when you dig into the canal." Blitz says to a nearby unicorn whose horn was glowing brightly.

"Almost…" He strained.

Silver growls a bit as he fired at one getting too close. "Come on." He said before ducking as the dogs fired their own arrows. "Sucker almost took my head off."

"Raise the covers." Blitz orders

The soldiers behind the wall start pulling on the ropes as the dogs kept running before the soldiers pulled at it hard and makes the spiked covers over the spike pits in front of the wall come up and attach to the wall and the heavy dogs couldn't stop in time and stabs themselves while the lighter ones stopped right in front of them.

Silver looks down a bit. "Smart use of spikes. Hard to climb now."

"Ingenuity." Blitz says waiting for the unicorn to tell him when.

The unicorn's horn was now glowing brighter. "Got it. They reached it."

"Send the signal." Blitz says looking to a nearby archer who nods before loading the signal arrow and fires it straight up into the air, making it whistle all the way and causing many of the dogs to hold their ears.

Silver looks to the dam and sees what it has. "Was that even a dream?" He asks himself as the griffons fires some flaming arrows at the boxes on the dam which makes it explode before the stone started to break apart and the water started to leak through before the a large amount came out and took out the dam with metal spikes went with it and the water traveled down the dry canal and then underground where they couldn't see what was happening.

"Now you and the rest of the unicorns, start using your magic to start firing magic blasts at them." Blitz instructs.

The unicorn nods and heads to the others before they start firing magic blast at the dogs, trying to get who they can. "Anymore traps?" Silver asks.

"That is it. Now we fight a siege battle." Blitz says before walking down to the right wall and pulls out his blaster pistols.

Silver sighs as he leans against the pillar in the tower before grabbing a box of arrows and starts to pick them off. "You are still a strange one." He said firing.

The dogs kept charging, trying to find a way over the wall as one of the warriors, who was sent underground, emerged from the tunnel in their camps, drenched in water and gasping for breath.

"Why aren't you back there?!" The warlord asks.

"They somehow flooded he tunnels sir. I'm not sure how many survived." The warrior says before coughing up more water.

The warlord growls louder. "I want you to find me another way to those bitches. Now!"

"So you must be the brother of that pathetic warlord who begged for his life like a little bitch." A voice says.

The warlord and the other dogs turned around and saw nothing. "What was that?"

"I guess I will kill you just like I did him." The voice says again.

The warlord growls as he grabs a saber. "Show yourself!"

"Very well." Lightning says appearing behind him before going full auto with her blaster rifle. The warlord soon fell forward dead before Lightning disappears again.

The other dogs just stood still as they saw the smoking holes in their dead warlord. "What just happened?"

"A ghost." One says.

Lightning was smirking. "I like that name, ghost." She said to herself as she flies off.

Blitz stares down at the warrior climbing up the wall and withdraws his talons on his right foreleg and decapitated the warrior. "Idiot." He then looks around and sees the ponies doing what they can while most of the griffons using what weapons they can and taking down the dogs and then looks over to Silver and sees him almost hidden and fighting what he can describe as a sniper rifle in a crossbow style. "Wonder where they got that?"

Lightning suddenly lands behind him before kicking a dog off the wall. "Got the warlord."

"Good, start going full auto on the remaining ones." Blitz says.

Lightning nods and takes out her rifle and points down the wall and starts firing downward. "I got a good number, just two more acres in the trees for the amount of dogs left. After that, the rest are retreating since I took out the warlord. Strange they are calling me a ghost now."

"Ghost corp, I like the sound of that." Blitz says.

Lightning chuckles. "Ghost squad or ghost team or just ghost. Like, I'm a ghost. Leave it at that."

"And I'm a phantom or a wraith." Blitz says cheekily.

Lightning giggles. "Maybe a phantom. Wraiths shriek out everything."

"Actually, wraiths are another word for ghosts." Blitz says continuing to be cheeky.

Lightning sighs and nods. "Uh huh. Still, what would your code name be if you had a choice?"

"I'll stick with Southern Cross." Blitz says.

Lightning smiled. "Really now? No other ones just in case? How about Shadow?" She asks dropping a grenade down the wall.

"Taken." Blitz says.

Lightning giggles. "I'm sure she won't mind." She said as an explosion went up and makes body parts fly to their height before they fall back down.

"No, I mean a mandalorian is already using that name." Blitz says.

Lightning tilts her head. "You know, we are going to be here awhile now that they are attacking us."

"If you're tired, go get some coffee." Blitz says just picking off dogs at random with his pistols.

Lightning shakes her head. "No, I mean we are going to be here at the field for a while and maybe we could do something in the off time."

"We shall see." Blitz says.

"We did it. We won!" One of the soldiers cheered as the last of the dogs ran.

Silver sighs as he finally sits down and puts the crossbow to the side. "Finally, now we just have to worry about retaliation."

"With this, the vanguard has been defeated without really entering the kingdom's territory and you now are no longer a raw commander, you have endured two defensive sieges." Blitz says walking up with Lightning.

Silver nods. "Yes, but now we still have to deal with protecting this place. At least they would think twice about trying this spot. You two can oversee the repairs and redo on some of the traps. I'll try to do the same."

"Shouldn't we send a messenger south to check the other location they attacked?" Blitz asks.

Silver sighs and tosses him a telescope. "Take a look. I already sent one, trying to get him to leave before the battle. He ran when he heard the explosion." He said leaning his head back.

Blitz looks through the telescope and sees him at the far away camp. "Not bad. Thought ahead."

Silver shrugs. "Had to warn the others."

"So we will be getting a report back soon then and they will be updated that the fort north of us was destroyed." Blitz says.

Silver nods. "Yep, just need a courier to get back to us. For now, we rebuild and rearm just in case of another skirmish."

"That is wise and best to send some of our soldiers out to check for survivors and any salvageable arrows." Blitz says.

Silver sighs as he looks over to see the almost empty arrow box he has. "I may have to agree. What else we got running low?"

"Building materials and we have eaten through a little more than half of our rations." Blitz says.

Silver groans as he tries to sit up. "How about any camps the dogs left behind? You able to find them?"

"Haven't searched yet, but I doubt they left anything edible or valuable behind unless Surge scared them badly enough when she killed the warlord." Blitz says.

Silver chuckles. "Wish they did. But one griffon's trash is another griffon's treasure. Anything can help, like using tables as more boards to reinforce our walls or stones and that. Anything can help if you know what to look for."

"If my calculations are correct, our unit contributed the most with the vanguard." Blitz says.

Silver groans as he finally got up and sees the damage they made with all the bodies. "Yes we did, but now we should try to recover and then see what we got. Can Surge here map out the encampments of what they had in the forest? My men will take care of the recovery. After that, I'm sure you two want to get a break. Cross, you can help her if you want."

"I will take care of it personally. Surge hasn't slept for eighteen hours." Blitz says.

Silver smiled. "Okay, that's fine. Surge, you can go and get some rest. We all need it now."

"I will be back soon enough." Blitz says jumping off the wall and disappears.

Silver yawns a bit. "Okay, guess I'll be getting to bed now."

"Give orders first, then sleep." Lightning says pushing the reluctant Silver to the troops.

Silver shakes his head. "Fine. Just give me a sec." He said before grabbing his weapon. "Do you have anything like this?" He asks her.

"Oh yeah, but this is my preferred weapon. Cross likes those two for control and rapid fire. Me, I like firepower and accuracy." Lightning says.

Silver chuckles. "You got one that crazy strong and long range. I think the bow on this is getting a bit weak." He said looking to his as tries to test the string by rubbing it.

"Then have a forge look it over next chance you get." Lightning says.

It was a week before the defenders of the newest made fort heard from command. "So how did it go Commander?" Blitz says eyeing the new soldiers in the fort and many new officers.

Silver crosses his arms. "Very well. They are getting it in their heads that this is war and lives will be lost. The encampments you found really helped too. We even found a few of my favorites."

"Heads I brought back?" Blitz asks.

Silver chuckles as he shakes his head. "Nah, just the weapons. Still, how's your friend? Still tired?"

"She is fine. So will we be getting rotated out?" Blitz asks.

Silver sighs. "Yeah, our king wants all of us to take a break now that he knows we are being attacked. So he's sending out the defense army to hold our spots here. They are better equipped for these types of things. All they need to know is what you did with the area and what traps you may have placed."

"No traps, but I may have left a wake of death and destruction." Blitz says still leaning back on the bed he brought up to the tower.

Silver nods. "Good, because you are telling what you left before all of us leaves and lets the defense team do the work.

"Just tell them lots of dead dogs bodies." Blitz says.

Silver nods. "I'll try that. So what do you want to do in the mean time? Get some rest? Maybe grab a souvenir?"

"Send a letter to the one I married." Blitz says.

Silver smiled. "I might send a letter too."

"Aren't we going back to the capital?" Blitz asks.

Silver sighs. "Yeah, maybe to my father because I may be a while."

"I wonder how my kid is." Blitz says out loud.

Silver smiles. "I'm sure he's waiting at the door for you."

"I'm not so sure, he was just born recently." Blitz says.

Silver chuckles. "Trust me, he's going to be waiting for you. Hatchlings are like that no matter what or who they are."

"Yeah and knowing his mother, she is taking good care of him." Blitz says.

Silver sighs and looks at him. "And who is your wife, if I may ask?"

"Can't tell you, my identity is a secret for their safety." Blitz says.

Silver watches him. "Boo. That's no fun, but I understand."

At that point, Blitz didn't reply and leaned back into the bed.

Silver sighs as he watches the new trainees. "Your friend Surge mention a weapon close to mine. Can I see?"

"Not unless you governments go to the next level with us mandalorians. Where we start sharing our weapons." Blitz says.

Silver chuckles. "See, that's where no fun begins, but I get the idea."

Blitz only grunts before he hears a flapping of wings and looks to see Lightning flying in. "You got something?" He asks her.

Lightning sighs as she landed. "Mandalore and it's big. He really needs to speak to you now."

"Sorry Commander, I have to take this." Blitz says disappearing and Lightning took his place.

"He isn't really calling, is he?" Silver asks.

Lightning just smirks. "Depends if he really wants to."

Blitz reappears far away and turns on his communicator. "Mandalore, can you read me?" Blitz asks and receives no answer, but does see a video in his communications that has yet to be played.

He raises an eyebrow and plays it while he calls again and waits and soon sees a video of a beach and some music. "Huh, never seen this before. Now what…you gotta be fucking kidding me." He said as he saw a familiar person and that annoying music. "I thought this died?" Blitz says annoyed, but starts to smirk. "Oh Lightning, let us see if you like my counter." Blitz says hatching a plan.

"Cross?" A voice asks from the call now answered.

"Minerva, were you in on this?" Blitz asks

Minerva giggles. "A bit. Had a hard time finding it. Still, Mandalore did call you."

"Report." Blitz says.

Minerva sighs. "First of all, he wants me to ask how long it would take for you to make it back. So how long?"

"War just started and I'm here helping them with the terrestrial war as part of the agreement my clan has with them because most of my clan is away checking on the ship or taking jobs for themselves." Blitz says.

Minerva nods. "Good, how much longer are you going to be there?"

"A few more months, but it will be without us on the front lines now. So it might boring at this point." Blitz said.

"Right, I'll keep the Darkline and the reinforcements you requested one jump away under the guise of training exercises." Mandalore says coming into the call.

Blitz nods. "Good, we might be in a lot of trouble if it does hit though."

"Don't worry, I have contingencies in play." Mandalore says.

Blitz chuckles. "Can't wait." He said before Mandalore ends his call. "Minerva, think you keep calm during that time?"

Minerva giggles. "Only if you spend time with me when you have a chance."

"Minerva, we will talk later about earlier. Cross out." Blitz says closing the line.

Lightning was smirking as Silver was straining to aim for a long range shot. "Relax and breathe. Geez, you need some relaxation."

"And don't fire too soon like your girlfriend keeps telling you in bed." Blitz says walking up.

Lightning laughs out loud as she holds her sides while Silver just blushes. "Damn you Cross."

"Yeah, yeah. Surge, come with me, we have a few things to discuss." Blitz says.

Lightning soon calms down and follows him. "What is it?" She asks after a while.

"Did you send that to anypony else?" Blitz asks.

"Well…" Lightning stops.

"Huh, so all of you got the same video?" Twilight asks on the call.

"Yeah, but I haven't opened it yet." Daring says from her apartment.

"It's real cool and funny actually." Pinkie cheers from her end.

"Wait, you opened it?" Spitfire asks.

"Ok, show of hooves who has opened it?" Octavia asks holding Azure and only Pinkie raised her hoof.

Twilight groans. "Really, how bad can it be?" She said before hitting play and after a while of watching, they all stood silent before Azure tries to hide in his mother's coat. "I'm deleting this." Twilight said after a while.

"Well, I wouldn't mind if Blitzy sang this to us." Shadow said.

Twilight and the others thinks of him singing that before shaking their heads. "Yeah, no." They said.

"What, you don't want him to sing you a love song?" Shadow asks.

"Lightning you are such a troll." Pinkie says as she texted Lightning a reply.

The others just look at her for a second before they shake their head and sighs. "So does anypony want to get together soon?" Rarity asks.

"Well, it would be fun if all of you come by and visit. Azure could use more time with his step mothers." Octavia says nuzzling his head.

Vinyl giggles from behind her. "Aren't we all mothers because won't it be better if he called us all momma?"

"Technicality Vinyl. Octavia is his birth mother and we are his step mothers, but we all raise him and love him." Twilight says starting to go lecturing Twilight on them.

Vinyl still giggles. "Come on, wouldn't it be cool if he called all of us momma? It wouldn't be cool if he called us step momma."

"You just want him to boop your nose like earlier." Octavia says as Azure tries to climb on her.

Vinyl blushes. "How can I not love that? He's cute. Look at him." She said pointing to him as he waved at everyone from the top of Octavia's head.

"The adorable foal." Octavia says smiling as she looks up to him.

Fleetfoot giggles. "He is isn't he? Twilight, how's yours coming along?" She asks eyeing the slightly bigger stomach.

"I have been reading up on the subject and I think I am doing well." Twilight says smiling.

"Twilight, Twilight." Applejack chimed. "You need to see a doctor. No matter how well you say you are well versed in this, you need to see one. I know I have to call Fluttershy to check up on the animals. Right?"

Fluttershy nods as she fiddles with her collar. "Yep, you could never be too careful."

"It would have been so helpful if Blitzy married a doctor as well." Twilight says.

"Silly, there were no noticeable doctors in the show." Pinkie says.

They just hit the mute button on her end. "So when do you think you'll have the little one?" Fleetfoot asks.

"I…hum, that is a good question." Twilight says.

'A month or two my new queen.' Chrysalis said.

Twilight smiled a little. "How do you know that?"

'I am in tune with your magic and this little hatchling too.' Chrysalis said.

Twilight sighs. "Might be a month or two girls."

"Ok." Applejack says before opening the door behind Twilight to her shock and grabs her. "Time to go to the doctor." Applejack says.

Everypony else just snickers. "Thanks Applejack." Some said.

Applejack smirks as she pulls Twilight away. "So Rainbow, what about you? You seemed to be gaining a little." Daring points out.

Rainbow looks down to her slightly bigger stomach. "Yeah, I tested myself with that tester Fluttershy got me. It's positive."

"Number three confirmed. So when are you girls going to pay up?" Spitfire asks.

The others just glare or smile a bit. "When he gets back." Most of them said.

Shadow just mumbles something.

"What was that?" Spitfire smirks.

"None of your business." Shadow says a little mad.

"Oh Shadow, do you want a foal of your own?" Daring asks.

Shadow frowns. "We did before I was able to have foals. I'm going to have to wait for him now."

"Ah, someone is missing their hubby." Vinyl says.

"So like Applejack." Rainbow says.

They all giggle a little as Twilight and Applejack's end were finally cut off. "It will be okay Shadow. You'll get him back." Fleetfoot offers.

"Yeah, my little shadow, I'll see you soon enough." Blitz's voice was heard.

"Blitz!" Most of them yells and Azure tries to reach to where his voice came from.

Blitz's image then appears in the chat. "Finally have a few moments to myself one second." Blitz says as he unmutes Pinkie and forcefully reconnects Applejack and Twilight.

"Blitz?" They both asks as he sees Twilight on a hospital bed.

Blitz frowns a little. "What happen?"

"Getting her a checkup. Had to drag her here personally." Applejack says.

Blitz raises an eyebrow. "And?"

"They are running some test right now." Twilight says smiling.

Blitz smiled. "And what is Chrissy saying?"

"Censorship will not allow me to repeat." Twilight jokes.

"Ah, my girl is getting better at jokes." Blitz says smiling.

Twilight giggles. "Sorry, but that's only for us Blitzy. I'll tell you when you come back."

"Uh huh. Well it turns out that the king was right and it is now war here." Blitz says.

Everypony looks worried. "So how long?" Rarity asks.

"We just started, but we smashed their vanguard already and Lightning here…" Blitz stops to show a sleeping Lightning still in her armor. "Got two of the warlords leading the dogs." Blitz finishes.

Some of the mares clap and Azure laughs as he tries to reach for him. "Not bad. Tell her that from all of us." Octavia said, letting Azure reach a little closer.

"Hey there Azure. You miss me?" Blitz asks as he smiles.

Azure giggles and coos a bit at him.

"You behaving for your mothers?" Blitz asks.

Azure coos and turns around and hugs Octavia.

"And been messing with your mother Vinyl?" Blitz asks smirking.

Vinyl glares a bit as Azure giggles at him.

"That's my boy." Blitz says laughing.

"Shut up." Vinyl said as Azure grunts and throws his chew toy at her, which bonks her on the head.

"Oh fun to watch them play and Vinyl just loves him to death." Octavia says as Vinyl starts messing with Azure before he escapes her grasp and bites onto her tail.

Vinyl glares a bit as she lifts her tail in front of her. "Bad Azure." She said poking him.

Azure seems to copy her and pokes her nose. Vinyl giggles and keeps poking him until they enter a poking contest.

"She has met her match as you can see." Octavia says.

Blitz smiled. "Good, now you guys play nice. And make sure Twilight gets her chocolate pancakes. She gets moody when she doesn't."

"Blitz." Twilight growls as everypony chuckles as Vinyl hugs Azure and rolls around with him.

Blitz smirks. "See, she's moody now and I think the little foal or hatchling might gain a sweet tooth with her cravings."

"Just wait till you get back Mr. We are going to have a few words." Twilight growls.

"And a night." He said cheekily.

"Of you on the couch." Twilight says.

Blitz smiled now. "I'll make it up to you Twilight. Don't worry."

"So what will happen now?" Rainbow voices the question all the girls were thinking.

Blitz sighs. "We are going to be here a bit longer than expected, but we are going to be away from the front lines so it be a bit safer for us."

"In other words, he is getting rotated out." Spitfire says.

"Yes, fresh soldiers take over the fort we made there." Blitz says as Terran poked his head in front of the screen.

"Hi Terran." They said while Azure coos at the new face.

Terran pants happily at them. Blitz chuckles and lets him stay. "Now then, we are going to be a while and it will be a bit boring too. Just hold on for a bit more girls."

"Got any words fer the family?" Applejack asks.

"And Sweetie Belle?" Rarity adds.

"And Scoots?" Rainbow asks.

Blitz smiled. "Yeah, I hope to see you girls later. And have Spike teach them a few things. Basic really, just in case of trouble."

"Speaking of Spike." Twilight says.

"Oh no, we are losing connection." Blitz says as the screen gets fuzzy.

Everypony frowns as they see his screen gain static. "Hey girls, listen, I'll be there soon and I'll head back as soon as we can." He said before it completely ends in static.

"He pretended to lose connection when you brought that up, didn't he?" Pinkie asks.

Twilight quickly checks his ping numbers and nods. "Yep, his end is too good. What's going on with Spike?" She asks calling him up only to get a voice message.

"Hello, you reached Spike the dragon. Sorry, can't make it. I might be so much into gaming or with keeping a library shipshape. Leave a message and I'll get back to you." Spike's message said.

"We need to find out what is going on." Twilight says.

"What about Slender?" Pinkie asks.

"She hasn't been seen either." Applejack says.

"I'll get the bounds to hold him when we question him." Spitfire says.

Rarity giggles. "That might be tough with Slender behind him 24/7. She adores that little drake. Her first true friend."

"Hey girls." Lightning says sleepily.

"Lightning." All of them said. "About time." Rainbow said.

Lightning yawns. "I just woke up. Give me a minute." Lightning says.

Twilight sighs and starts to think as the doctor came back and gave the papers to Applejack. "What does Blitz have planned with him?"

"Azure? Well I think he will raise him." Lightning says half asleep.

Twilight looks to the others again. "Oh sorry. Lost in thought."

"Hey girls, you would not believe what Minerva let me borrow from the ship." Lightning says waking up a bit more.

They all look at her. "What?" Fluttershy asks.

"Check it out, it's a mind reading device." Lightning says bringing a helmet out.

Rainbow leans in. "Does it work?"

"Yes, but it is pretty old and very temperamental. When I asked, Minerva told me they stopped making them a long time ago and the secret to making them was lost when the creator died taking the secret with him." Lightning explains.

They all raise an eyebrow at that. "Really, what did the creator originally want to do?" Twilight asks.

"Don't know, this thing alone is around two hundred years old. So who wants to see a dream Blitzy had?" Lightning asks smirking.

The others smirks as well. "Yeah." They said and Lightning sends a video to which Octavia covers Azure's eyes as they see Twilight in a skimpy nurse's outfit almost swaying her flank as they see what looks like from Blitz's point of view and Twilight coming toward him. "Nurse Sparkle is now here to help you. What do you want to do first?" Twilight asks.

They hear a chuckle. "Well, I got a growing problem and I need it checked out." Blitz said.

They all were a little disappointed when the video distorts and stops. "Sorry, that's all." Lightning apologized.

"Rarity, think you could make some outfits?" Pinkie asks.

"Oh yes I can." Rarity says as a wicked idea starts to form in between them.

Twilight sighs. "Why did he choose me in the outfit?"

"Maybe it's because the fact you got a bigger flank and a more slender body since becoming an alicorn. That would really show some skin when you wear that outfit." Vinyl said.

"If you want, I can try and show the rest of them with this, but as you saw, it was distorted and stopped recording. As I said, temperamental." Lightning says.

Some of the mares grumble at the fact they can't see the rest. "Well, let's surprise him." Applejack said.

Spitfire and Shadow chuckles. "Yeah, that'll make him understand to not hide things." Shadow said.

"This is just his dream. Why are you mad at him for having it?" Lightning asks.

Shadow whines and pouts. "I wanted to be the one in a nurse's outfit."

Lightning sends another file. Shadow plays it and suddenly smirks. "Wow, guess he likes to transfer over kinks he likes to this. Wait, he can do that?"

"That was a different dream." Lightning says as they all look at Shadow in a pink nurse outfit.

Octavia keeps trying to cover Azure's eyes. "Yes, can you get it off my end?"

"Ok, I will stop." Lightning says.

"How many did he have?" Rainbow asks.

"I only got four dreams recorded." Lightning says.

Fluttershy smiled. "And each of them is one of us?"

"Well…one is about all the Wonderbolts." Lightning says.

All the Wonderbolts blush. "And?" They ask.

"It cuts out right as it begins." Lightning says.

Fluttershy blushes. "Um…anypony else?"

"The fourth one was of all of us with a few more foal running around." Lightning says.

"Aww." Fluttershy said as Lightning played the video and they see the foals a little blurry except for what looks like Azure. "Guess the mind made up a few things." Twilight said.

"That Azure can see." Octavia says as she lets Azure see it and he coos at the video before it became static and ended.

Vinyl sighs. "Is that all?"

"Well, I could swear, look right there." Lightning says as the Vinyl in the dream seems to look at them.

They all watch as the Vinyl approaches them. "Hey stud?" She asks what seems to be Blitz.

Lightning pauses the video and zooms in on Vinyl's eyes and they see a reflection of Lightning watching the video. "Tell me I'm not the only one seeing this." Lightning says.

"No, you're not." Blitz suddenly came in and he was smirking. "I knew you would use that thing. Figure I have some fun."

"Um…got to go girls." Lightning says disconnecting.

Vinyl glares at him. "What was that?"

"I think…I'm not sure." Applejack says.

Blitz chuckles before waving at them. "Bye girls. Bye Azure." He said as Azure laughs at him before he cut off.

"We have got to learn how to hack and how to spot it better." Pinkie says.

Twilight sighs as she messes around on the status and comes up with something. "Either he's very stupid or very smart. Found the pings over the whole call. Blitz left his the whole time. And now it's gone." Twilight says before a message appears on her omnitool. "I did it on purpose. XP." Twilight reads.

Rainbow giggles. "The XP is just him sticking his tongue out. An expression system to passing notes in class."

"Search expression system." Twilight commands her omnitool.

They all shake their heads at her and Twilight's eyes widen at the amount of expressions. "Wow."

A new message appears on Twilight's omnitool. "Twi you are so adorable." Twilight read. "I hate him." A new message appears. "No you don't." She reads. "Rainbow." Twilight says.

Rainbow smiled. "Yes?"

"I know that was you who sent that one." Twilight says.

Rainbow shakes her head. "I don't know what you are talking about."

"User address." Twilight says as Rainbow couldn't get the smirk off her face.

It just displayed Rainbow's as she started laughing. "Geez Twilight, take a joke."

"What she wrote ain't exactly a lie partner." Applejack says.

Twilight groans. "I hate you all."

"Now, now, Twi. Don't strain yourself. Think of the foal." Applejack reminds.

Twilight huffs. "Yeah, whether he or she has good other mothers."

"Oh she is huffy. Here have a chocolate cupcake." Pinkie says beside her.

Applejack and Twilight look surprised. "Pancake." Twilight said.

"No cupcake." Pinkie says.

Twilight shakes her head. "Pancake."

"Cupcake." Pinkie says before an argument erupted between them.

Applejack sighs as she looks to the papers. "Huh."

"And thus I hereby succeed the apple family farm into the cupcake federation." Pinkie says.

Applejack turns back to her. "Wait, what?"

"Ha." Twilight said moving a few pieces from her omnitool as what looks like they are playing a game on there. "Yeah, right. You need those respect and battalions." She said gathering hers for an assault.

"What happened, I looked away for a moment?" Applejack says.

Twilight smiles. "Pinkie challenged me. Winner gets to choose the food. Next to Spike, I'm the best the player around now. And Pinkie just lost another city." She said sending the army onto her weakest city and starts digging for resources.

"Oh, you sure?" Pinkie asks as the city suddenly exploded destroying most of her army and a counter attack was launched, taking Twilight off guard.

Twilight growls before pressing a few things and suddenly a missile got launched into the air and Twilight pulled most of her forces back.

Pinkie pushed a few buttons and several missiles were launched to intercept the missile causing a nuclear explosion in midair. "Now nuke your city." Pinkie says launching another one, making Twilight sweat.

Twilight then realized something. She hits a few things and makes her army fire at the missile and soon it exploded too. "You shouldn't have chosen an army of robots. Explosions in midair makes an EMP charge." She said before making her army advance and they decimate all the forces shut down in the way.

"Who says I did? Go my worms, kill them all!" Pinkie yells as giant worms spring from under Twilights armies tearing them apart.

Twilight just gets a blank face before pressing a few things and soon a single unarmed person came out of her city.

"Oh how adorable. Death squads, kill him." Pinkie says as a squad mows him down with machine gun fire.

Twilight just raises an eyebrow at her before the person came back up and starts walking again, as all the bodies started to rise. "It took all the respect and money and time to make another WMD, but I think my dead raiser is a good idea." She said as all the dead army turns and fire on Pinkie's army.

"Oh zombies huh…armageddon bomb with magnetic shielding." Pinkie says launching it in the middle of Twilight's capital, annihilating it.

Twilight sighs as all her stats start to fall. "Dang it. At least let me try this." She said as the army finally reaches Pinkie's city and its starts to emit a dark cloud as her stats almost reach the end.

"Nuke that." Pinkie says blowing up those cities, vaporizing Twilight's undead army. Twilight groans as the game ended. "Cupcake." Pinkie said placing it between them. "And now for my victory moment. Hail Cupcakes." Pinkie says before her virtual troops started chanting that.

Twilight grumbles as she starts eating. "I hate you Pinkie." She said with her mouth full.

"Oh, I love you too and don't worry, Blitzy will be back soon to hold you." Pinkie says bouncing in place.

"Pinkie, don't you have a play date with Azure to get to?" Twilight asks.

They heard Azure giggling and sees him being carried by Pinkie. "Twi, can you ask the bug queen about this." Applejack said giving her the papers.

"About what?" Twilight asks playing innocent.

Applejack glares. "The fact they could only find a hard shell. Like an egg."

Twilight giggles. "Chrissy said it's only for a few days. After that, it will be a normal foal when hatched."

"So this is the next evolutionary step of changelings?" Daring asks.

Twilight giggles. "Nah, just me."

"But, then they will most likely be like that." Daring says.

"I guess you are right." Twilight says thinking it over.

Applejack pats her back. "Maybe you should think about placing a new hive and all that. Maybe help them get started."

Twilight giggles nervously as she rubs the back of her head. "Yeah…about that…"

"My queen." A nurse says walking up.

Almost all of the mares look a bit shocked at what she said next. "The hive is under the castle." Twilight said before squeeing.

"And when were you going to tell us?" Applejack asks frowning.

Twilight was now pushing her hooves together as the nurse changes back to normal and places her ear against Twilight's stomach. "When we leave again."

"Uh huh." Applejack says raising her eyebrow.

"The egg is fine. It will be a good lay." The changeling nurse said.

"Yeah, I only wish Blitz wasn't away fighting in a war." Twilight says.

The nurse spits out some type of slime on her hoof before giving it to her. "Nutrients and the king will be fine. He makes a worthy mate for the queen."

"Why is that?" Twilight asks.

"We are a warrior species and the king is a warrior, a very strong warrior." The changeling says.

Twilight smiled. "Yeah, he is." She said before starting to eat the slime, much to everyone's disgust as they either voice it or just stick out their tongue.

Applejack tries to hold her lunch. "How is that good?" She said before trying to hold back to the next line of barf.

"It's not. It's like taking a nasty medicine." Twilight says.

Applejack still tries to hold it. "Dang it Twi. I don't know how you can handle being queen."

Twilight swallows the last slime. "Me either. But for the sake of the species I have to. Not easy, but it's a more fun life."

"My queen, would it ease your mind if we send some to help the king?" The changeling asks.

Twilight sighs. "Yes, but I think it would be better if we didn't. He probably would send you guys back at the first chance. I'll just call him from time to time."

"As you wish my queen." The changeling says.

Applejack leans over. "Is this also going to happen with regular ponies? Being acting like servants?"

Twilight shrugs. "Maybe. Maybe not."

It had been two weeks since they were rotated out of the fortress as Blitz was waiting with Silver and Lightning. "So they are expanding our unit, huh?" Blitz asks for confirmation.

Silver sighs as he nods. "Yes, because of our success and some are asking to be transferred to ours."

"Meaning more officers and more soldiers." Blitz says.

"We are also getting two airships for our unit." Silver says.

"Airships you say?" Blitz asks thinking out loud.

Silver nods. "Yep, our illustrious army graced us with two cutter class airships. Fully loaded of course."

"So two scouting ships huh?" Blitz asks.

Silver nods. "Oh yes, I'm sure you can come up with many things."

"That means we will be assigned to patrol somewhere very soon. So any news on your old academy college who deserted?" Blitz asks.

Silver sighs. "Gone. We haven't seen him for a long time. None of the troops have seen him."

"So he has ran out of the country itself, huh?" Blitz asks.

Silver shrugs. "Who knows? He might be somewhere else where he can visit some family or friends safely. Most want that before being chopped off."

"Then again, could have been captured by the dogs." Blitz says.

Silver sighs. "It's just thoughts at the moment. You know, I heard of you visiting a certain professor when you came here one time. Why don't you visit him? We ship out in two days."

"Who are you talking about?" Blitz asks.

Silver chuckles. "You kidding? Word has gone around of how Southern Cross with Daring Do, found the ancient temple and the professor of the group found an ancient staff."

"Oh yeah. The professor we let have the staff of Tifus." Blitz says.

Silver nods. "Yeah, why don't you see him? Maybe give him time since it's been a while. After all, he's hoping to find more adventures like that."

"Nah, those kind of adventures, I don't look for." Blitz says

Silver sighs. "At least give him some time. He's an old bird. Might be good to see an old friend."

"Very well, I will go see him. Surge, keep the soldiers in line and don't take any crap from the new officers." Blitz instructs.

Lightning salutes him. "Yes sir." She said as he walks off to the college.

Blitz sighs as he sips away at his drink. "So how's the staff?" He asks while in the office of the professor.

The professor shrugs. "Lockdown in the museum here. We also have declared the temple an important landmark and only those with clearance can get in."

"I see you have been busy these last few years." Blitz says.

The professor chuckles as he looks around. "Yes, many adventures till these old bones of mine got me." He said eyeing the new artifacts.

"Well good to see you aren't sitting idle." Blitz says.

The professor nods. "Yes, after all, this old bird has to keep moving and experience as much as he can."

"While this stallion took the third member of our original party and made her his wife." Blitz says.

The professors claps his talons. "Not bad. Heard of the great Cross marrying a lot of mares. Have any hatchlings yet?"

"One with two more on the way. Unfortunately, Daring isn't one of them." Blitz says.

The professor smirks. "Not yet."

"They keep trying." Blitz jokes.

The professor laughs. "Let me guess, trying to gain a great time in bed with you?"

"No, try to get pregnant. I keep telling them lesbian sex won't do it." Blitz jokes.

The professor keeps laughing. "Not bad, not bad. So how's the war?"

"I'm serving under commander Silver Claw as a knight captain." Blitz says.

The professor smiled. "That's great. What about this other one I'm hearing about?"

Blitz smiled. "Oh, she's a hooful, but manageable and able to reel in easier since I'm married." Blitz says before turning serious. "So what is the gossip about my unit?"

The professor sighs. "Strange things at times, but good. Able to hold and be like a wall. Then there is the ghost unit in your team."

"Ah, those me and Surge are training personally. So what about our unit killing two of the twenty six warchiefs amongst the dogs?" Blitz asks.

The professor smiled. "Very good things. None of the other units were able to get even close to any warchief."

"I see, well what do you think? Do you think we broke even or are we in an advantage with killing two warchiefs and they destroying one of our forts?" Blitz asks.

The professor sighs as he opens one of his drawer. "You like games?" He asks trying to find something.

"Depends on the game." Blitz says.

The professor nods and brings out a box before opening it and placing out a board and some army pieces on it and starts arranging them. "Let's see, two are out." He said knocking down two silver pieces. "One fort down." He said making a gold fort piece in half. "I say your chances are good."

"But take into account that most of the army has limited to no combat experience while the dogs have constantly been fighting with each other. In that case my opinion says." Blitz says and knocks over several units filling his line full of holes.

The professor nods and starts making the silver pieces move forward. "Yes, brutish as it were. But the fact that they don't have that much of technology that we have. Like airships and such." He said bringing out blimp pieces and placing them around on the edge of control. "Then you have long rangers and now ghost teams." He said reaching into another drawer and pulling out a statue of a creature before placing it on the side of the line of silver pieces.

"What's that?" Blitz asks, eyeing the stature that looks like a flying creature, but with long sharp claws for arms and tentacles for legs that seem to float.

The professor looks to the piece. "No real name. Just called the wraith for how it moves across the land and able to sneak attack successfully. Need a good team of hunters to make it out of that one alive."

"Ah, I never heard of this before. So why is it here?" Blitz asks.

The professor shrugs. "Found it in a temple that was next to a crater. Records show it was long ago. So if it was real, it's probably long since dead."

"Doubtful. Creatures like that have long lifespans." Blitz says.

The professor smirks. "Maybe you'll meet it if I remember your profession. Now then." He said before moving a few more pieces closer together.

"Something's bugging me. Why would the dogs invade now? What benefit or advantage do they have now that they didn't before?" Blitz asks.

The professor shrugs. "Don't know. Maybe they are losing theirs and are desperate now." He said making the armies move closer together. "Of course, this is a full scale clash." He said before making each piece each other from both side till he stops at a certain point. "The question remains, who falls first?"

Blitz moves one piece. "Checkmate."

The professor smiled as he sees he moved the pieces back into play.

"Unlike this game, war is not so simple." Blitz says.

The professor nods. "Yes, this a set game, with rules and barriers. War is actually about the mind believe it or not. It always starts out in the mind."

"Yes, but there is a flaw in the advantages you said earlier." Blitz says.

The professor raises an eyebrow. "Oh?"

"How much experience do your rangers have and can they stand a face to face fight with some elite dog warriors?" Blitz asks.

The professor smiled. "Simple, try living in the desert and the mountains for a long time. We never let them out without experience because they might be stuck in one spot for a long time."

"Now the question is, have they become complacent and to what standard have they been held to in this time of peace?" Blitz asks making the professor go quiet and pondering the question.

The professor sighs. "Many civilizations have many versions of living. Some more dangerous than others, but in other eyes, simple and good to live. The thing is, what mind are you in?"

"The mind of a general." Blitz says.

The professor chuckles. "Just then, the line has been drawn, ready to strike to where it has been marked." He recited.

"Professor, can I tell you something that won't leave this room?" Blitz asks.

The professor crosses his arms. "Depends, how classified?"

"Not classified, but my personal opinion." Blitz says.

The professor shirts. "Go ahead."

"I think the dogs are being supplied by something." Blitz says.

The professor leans forward. "And what would that be?"

"I don't know, but I found a very powerful and advanced firearm in a dog camp I raided." Blitz says putting a revolver on the table.

The professor eyes the revolver. "Yes, I guess that's something. What are you doing to do?"

"Going to bring this to the attention of the king, his generals, and my commanding officer. If this is true, then we lose the technological edge and they may gain it." Blitz says.

The professor nods. "Then you better get going. The faster, the better."

"I am currently off duty. It would look strange if I meet with them right now. That is why I left Surge to tell my commanding officer in private since she is currently on duty." Blitz says.

The professor shrugs. "Hey, your own time and place. After all, maybe something will happen to who is really pulling the strings."

"If they are then I must move with discretion and not give myself away." Blitz says.

The professor nods. "Yes, move quickly and quietly. After all, the only ones who gain from this war is the one who started it."

"True. In the end those who truly started this, might be looking to soften up the kingdom so they can invade and conquer." Blitz says.

The professor nods. "Yes, but that's the problem." He said before taking out some cookies, one chocolate and the other oatmeal, and places them between the pieces. "All the resources will be used up. Whether food or materials." He said grabbing the chocolate and eating it. "When they make their own staging area, the area will be so used up, they can't hold for so long. So why here? Why put it in a spot that has to be used other than just a landing position? Wouldn't it be smart to make an attack somewhere else? Somewhere more vulnerable than a war torn country ready for another fight."

"If they aren't conquered by the dogs." Blitz adds.

The professor reaches into another drawer and takes out a slightly curved dagger and grips it hard. "Yes, maybe watching another direction."

"But whom? The federation to our north east, the zebras south of us, or some unknown organization?" Blitz asks.

The professor chuckles. "Yes, watch as the two or more armies duke it out. Then watch as they calm down, but are ready for another strike just in case. Of course, the enemy just could come to the one watching as they are flourishing and full of everything you need. Just reach around," He said moving the dagger in a certain way. "And swipe the newspaper and the flesh from a direction to which they have reason to defend from." He said giving a swipe before stabbing the dagger into the table.

"Typical bureaucrat then." Blitz joked.

The professor shakes his head. "No, just that another nation watching the war from afar, might not suspect one that attacks them like an owl to a mouse."

"Trying to lighten the mood." Blitz says taking back the revolver.

The professor sighs and takes the dagger out of the desk before putting it back. "Watch it Cross. This outside force might attack somewhere else while you watch only in one direction."

"Who says I am only watching one direction? Not all my eyes are in my head." Blitz says.

The professor chuckles. "Yes, but does anypony else in your home country?"

"I have no true home country. Just where I chose to reside at that given time." Blitz says.

The professor leans forward. "Then why did I mention that country?"

"Because you amuse me and that is dangerous with me." Blitz says.

The professor grins. "I know. Though you already knew these kinds of tactics, right?" He asks leaning back.

"Yes, I do all too well. Now let us get back to our game." Blitz says.

The professor chuckles as he gives the last cookie to him and sets the pieces. "Your move."

Blitz nods and moves a single piece forwards.

Blitz leaned against the edge of the airship as it flew forward to the mountain fort that was to be their temporary base. "Still got another day till we reach it." Blitz says out loud.

Silver nods as he leans against the rails and looks ahead by him. "Yeah, so how was the professor?" He asks looking at him.

Blitz waves him off. "Eh, he's fine."

Silver nods. "Glad to see that old bird is doing fine. Especially since his wife is a little away for the war."

"So, still a little shocked by the ramifications of that little meeting?" Blitz asks.

Silver sighs. "How could I not? A possible outside force which can devastate us in an instant? It would be better to attack a country like Equestria."

"Then griffon pride and honor would demand you go to their aid and smash the ones who did this to you." Blitz reminds.

Silver nods. "Yes, they started it on our turf and we want it to stop so we wouldn't have to deal with it."

"Now including me, there are four captains and only two knight captains." Blitz says.

Silver sighs. "Yeah." He said looking back at the group. "They are all acting the same. Except for a few, especially that one." He said pointing to a more slender griffon. "Notice anything?"

"By the type. We've already met. The only other knight captain besides me." Blitz says annoyed.

Silver groans a bit. "Yes, I may get to her hate her too, but she's part of the squad. We have to live with it."

"At least she respects seniority." Blitz says.

Silver huffs. "Yeah, you. Not me. I'm still young by her standards. At least she still follows, but I can hear that telltale grumbling in her voice when she walks away."

"I meant seniority in the unit and we can't be called a squad anymore, too big." Blitz says.

Silver chuckles a bit before stopping. "She tries to see me as a bit lesser. We went to school together. She got better grades and ranks out of it. I only got by with some haphazard plans and my father liked that. She's…"

"A perfectionist." Blitz says.

Silver nods. "Yes, she gets her plans from a book. A history book. Not really a thinker in a sense."

"We best review the plan then. Hey, knight captain, Wind Shear." Blitz calls.

Wind looks up and sees the two high rankers looking at her. She sighs and closes her book before going over to them. "Yes?"

"Gather the two other captains and meet in the captain's quarters, we are going to review what has happened and our orders and make a plan." Blitz calls getting up.

Wind nods and walks back to the others. "Let's hope she doesn't make a ruckus." Silver said gathering his things.

"You kidding, she will lecture anything that does." Blitz says.

Silver chuckles. "I'm just hoping she sticks to the play, not impede."

"By the book remember and one of the rules says obey commanding officer, which is you." Blitz reminds.

Silver nods. "Good, at least she will listen to age and rank the most. But I'm half of that. At least you made it so she will listen."

"Half the problem is you need to be more confident around her and act like a commander like back at the fort." Blitz says.

Silver sighs. "That was when we under the threat of an attack. I wanted them to be safer."

"Keep that state of mind and command respect. If you don't, some of them will die needlessly." Blitz says.

Silver nods. "Yeah, just need a good enough state of mind. Let's get to the cabin." He said walking off.

Blitz shakes his head a bit. 'He's got a long ways to go, but he is young.' Blitz thinks.

Silver sighs as he looks to the leaders in the room as Blitz stands by him and a table with maps between them. "Alright, this is what's going on. After having their vanguard demolished and losing two Warchiefs, the dogs have not launched an offensive like the vanguard yet. They have been doing hit and run attacks along the northern and southern eastern border defenses. Cross believes they are probing for a weak point or looking for an unguarded point to send warriors into and at this point I must agree." Silver says.

Blitz sighs as he places some pieces onto the map. "We are staging here." He as he place the pieces somewhere in the mountains. "This the mountain pass and are so tough to get to that we need these airships to get there. There are a few paths and some more that are somewhat hidden that we need to defend. There is a base there that will serve as a staging post, but after that, it's just a watch house. So if dogs come, launch the arrow flares."

"We have also been ordered to do a probing raid ourselves from the mountain as well." Silver adds.

Blitz adds. "That's the most of it, but there may be more as time goes on. So watch out and be ready." Blitz says finishing placing the figurines. "We will also be launching a scouting mission not long after arriving with the ghost squad as the public and enemy have dubbed us." Blitz says.

Everyone just chuckles while Wind just raises an eyebrow.

"Did someone make a joke?" Blitz asks.

They just quiet down now as Wind smiles a little. "We won't be arriving until tomorrow, but don't let down your guard." Silver said.

They just all nod and start to head off. "You think this plan would work?" Blitz asks.

"Depends on the execution of it." Silver says before sighing.

Blitz looks to him. "Something wrong?"

"Just still trying to take it all in." Silver says, a talon over his face.

Blitz shrugs. "And it might get worse so be ready."

"I know." Silver says.

Blitz keeps watching the others file out. "Shall we get ready for a landing commander?" He asks with a bit of a smirk.

"Not till tomorrow." Silver reminds.

Blitz shrugs. "Doesn't hurt to be prepared early you know." Blitz says walking out.

Blitz looks around on lookout for anything out of the ordinary. The moon was one of his only companions on this watch. He sighs as he finally sits down after a last look and tries to shake his armor to get rid of that itch on his neck. "Damn tags." He said before sitting up again till he hears some talons hitting the steps to his lookout.

"Thought I would find you here." Wind said while carrying a book.

"Of course, I am on duty." Blitz says not turning to look at her.

Wind sighs as she goes over to a crate and sits down before opening the book. "So anything out of the ordinary?"

"Nothing, besides that flying whale that seems to following us." Blitz says eyeing the large whale creature that bends its whole body to fly as it flies behind them and makes echoing coo noises from time to time.

Wind shrugs. "Like seagulls, they like to travel with ships. Seems to like the company, almost like us. Strange that tales tell of you as a loner." She said already going past two pages.

"So why are you here?" Blitz asks.

Wind smirks. "Couldn't sleep. Usually grab a book and head to a quiet place to read, preferably with a view."

"He will do better when we get into action." Blitz says.

Wind scoffs. "Let's hope so, because right now he's broken at least fifty rules."

"Look, take it from one who is been through the fires of war than I can count. Those rules can't hold up in it." Blitz says looking to her now.

Wind looks up at him and closes the book with her talons. "Finally got your attention. I know the part of 'once in battle, rules are out the window.' At least he has to try to keep some rules in secure here."

"And yet he is more qualified and has more experience than you. That's right, I have read all of the other captains file." Blitz says.

Wind huffs. "And yet he lost his soldiers to something that should have been obvious."

"Clarify." Blitz says.

Wind leans forward. "The rumor that he set off an obvious trap and knocked some of his soldiers in a coma."

"I do not speak of that and you shouldn't either. To level say so." Blitz says.

Wind frowns. "Yet what does that tell of our illustrious commander?"

"You weren't there so don't talk like you were." Blitz says looking back out.

Wind keeps looking at him before leaning back and opening her book again. "Have you heard the rumors?"

"Clarify." Blitz says again says zooming his visor, thinking he spotted something.

Wind smiled a bit. "The rumor about where we're going. There is a little town there and still alive and well, thank goodness. But what makes them famous, rumors of course, is the fact they act like birds and monkeys, always moving around, not like us or ponies."

"Uh huh?" Blitz says as his helmet scanned.

Wind nods and looks to him. "You really think I'm reading the rule book?" She said showing the book slightly and shows information on the town and its culture. "I already know that thing by heart and what are you doing?" Seeing him lean over some more.

Blitz lifts the cover next to him and pushes a button and a siren started sound. "All hands on deck, unknown airship off the port side!" Blitz yells.

Wind finally stands up and packs the book away and looks to where he was looking and sees a cruder airship with a lot more armor plates than either airships. "How the heck did the dogs gain such an airship? We're one of the toughest military around and we have the latest war machines, next to ponies. No offense."

"Talk later, get to your battle station." Blitz orders.

Wind growls a little before screeching that actually almost busted Blitz's ears before she left. "That girl can screech." He said holding a hoof to his ear on his helmet in an attempt to lessen the pain. "Surge." Blitz says.

The static soon clears with metal clanging and footsteps in the background. "Sir?" Lightning asks as she grabs her weapons and checks to see if it's loaded.

"Time for going ghost." Blitz says.

He swears she's smirking now. "Got it, I'll the best of the team together. The rest will be sent to you. Surge out." She said.

"Take only those with wings when you go to the ship." Blitz says.

Lightning sighs as she looks to her small, but good team. "Wings only, rest of you, Cross, go." She said before running in one direction with the small group while the others went topside.

Blitz narrows his eyes at the airship as it approaches them. "Surely they know we have two. We could easily decimate them with cannon fire. So why one?" He asks himself.

"You fire the swivel gun at them." Blitz orders a nearby soldier.

"But sir, it won't do much without cannons penetrating the armor first." The soldier says.

"I know, this is just an experiment." Blitz says.

The soldier looks at him for a few before firing and everyone watches as the small cannonball flies through the air and gets close before it seems to bounce off something and soon a hexagonal shape shield appeared where the cannonball was and soon a wave of them spread out and they saw it covered the airship like a spherical shield.

"What the fuck is…?" The soldier could only say.

"Commander, the ship has a shield!" Blitz calls.

Silver could only watch as the shield spreads itself out before shutting down and only the ship itself appeared. "Got something for that?!" Silver calls back.

"Not yet, but looks like our cannons will be useless. So I suggest we take a page from pirates and board the ship and take it for ourselves." Blitz says.

Mary was tickling Azure's stomach, causing him to giggle. "Coochi, coochi, co. Coochi, coochi, co." She said as Azure giggles and laughs.

Twilight was trying to scarf down the slime again. "Ponyfeathers, I hate this, but down the hatch." She said eating more.

Suddenly Mary rises and a tear flows down her face.

The others look to her. "What's wrong? You hurt?" Applejack asks.

"No I…I just feel incredibly proud of my son all of a sudden." Mary says.

Twilight and everypony smiles. "Wonder what's he doing?" Twilight asks.

"Surge, get the generator offline. All cannons trained on the ship, hold your fire until we get it down. All hands, get the grapples and slide down. We got ourselves a new generation of privateering." Blitz orders.

"Aye!" The crew calls as they made haste to do the things he called out.

"Commander, is it ok for him to take charge?" Wind asks.

"Yes, he is currently an acting deck officer." Silver says taking the helm as another nearby soldier uses flags to signal what they were to do.

Blitz smiles as he sees the griffins throws the hooks. "Get ready, there will be opposition." He calls out as he grabs a ready rope from the banister and pulls out a blaster. As they prepare the other airship comes up beside the dog's ship and throws hooks as well.

When the ships comes close enough do some of the griffons jump to the other ship or swing onto it using the ropes. 'Why do I feel like mom is feeling this thing?' Blitz thinks to himself as he swinged and shot a few dogs.

"The fact you are going pirate style, makes it pretty obvious." Lightning said as if reading his mind.

"Surge, take the ghosts and take control of their engineering deck. I want to know where they got this from." Blitz orders.

Lightning smirks and Blitz sees a few dogs get pulled over the railing as his answer. "Not bad." He said landing and immediately shoots the dog next to him.

"All soldiers, secure this deck!" Blitz orders withdrawing his claws and cuts through a dog warrior.

Blitz cuts through another one before he feels some heavy thuds and sees a large dog come out of the captain's quarters. "You, you will die now!" He said pointing to him as he brandished his large cleaver.

"Judging by your demeanor, you're a warchief, correct?" Blitz asks.

The warchief gives a brutal laugh. "What gave you that idea?" He asks before slamming the cleaver into the deck.

"Very well. Give us room, I will make the third warchief kill for the unit." Blitz orders.

The griffons and some of the dogs back off as the far off ones fight. "You're just a pony in metal. What can you do?" The warchief asks as they start circling each other.

"Funny, that is what the last two said before they got on their paws and knees and begged for their lives. They showed what all you warchiefs are. A bunch of bitches." Blitz mocks.

The warchief growls before swinging the cleaver behind him and then swinging back toward Blitz and smashes it into the deck. "Oh Spiky." Blitz called from his side and looks to him just sitting there. "Missed me." Blitz mocked while holstering his blaster pistol and withdrawing his other claw afterwards.

The warchief growls and brings the cleaver up and swings it towards him. Blitz just raises an eyebrow before ducking. "Try aiming lower." He said as the warchief brings the blade to a stop on the deck.

Blitz smirks and rushes past the cleaver and behind him. "You missed." The warchief says.

"Oh, did I?" Blitz asks showing him his claw with fresh blood.

The warchief looks confused and looks down to see one of his hindpaw bleeding from the back of it. "Bitch." He growled before lifting the cleaver up and only yells in pain before dropping it and lands on his side while trying to keep his paw still.

"I just cut your achilles tendon. It's doubtful you will ever be able to support using that cleaver again." Blitz says.

"What happened to the griffon kingdom fighting fair?" The warchief asks.

"Who ever said Southern Cross fought fair?" Blitz asks.

The dogs immediately backs up before being grabbed by the griffons and put to the ground as they tie them up. "Well, this night is turning out nicely. So, will you do me the favor of telling me where you got that shield?" Blitz asks pressing his claw to the bottom of the dog's chin. The dog then did something that surprised everyone and threw his throat onto the claw. After a few moments, the life faded from the dog's eyes. Blitz withdrew the claw and turned away. "Such cowardness. Taking the easy way out." Blitz says walking away.

"Cross. We found the generator. It's busted." Lightning called over.

"I see. The warchief committed suicide as well. All of you secure the rest of the ship." Blitz orders.

Lightning sighs. "Looks like whatever was powering this thing was volatile. Just needed a knock and boom."

"Crispy corpse nearby?" Blitz asks as the soldiers started flooding into the lower decks.

"That and how the metal's bended outward." Lightning replied.

"Yeah, at least we got ourselves a new ship. A little modifications and overhaul a few things as we have a heavy airship for our unit." Blitz says.

Lightning stayed a bit silent. "We can't repair this thing. We need the Darkline and a few months for that."

"I know, but we don't need it to use the ship itself." Blitz says as the words 'Don't talk about those things out in the open.' appear on her visor.

Lightning stayed silent before he hears the line cut off.

Blitz walks over to her. "When we get to the base we will talk alone." Blitz whispers to her.

Lightning doesn't say anything and just stares at the destroyed machine.

"I know. It's too advanced for this planet." Blitz whispers.

Lightning just pushes him away. Blitz stares at her before grabbing her collar and pulls her away to the cargo area and brings them to the back and then pushes her against the large tall boxes. Blitz sighs as he pulls off her helmet before pulling off his. "What's wrong?"

Lightning just stares at him before bringing a hoof up and starts to stroke his cheek. "You."

"You want more attention instead of pretending that our only relationship is professional?" Blitz asks.

Lightning leans her head back. "That and to stop with the ridiculous messages I get. A simple quiet would do."

"I'm actually using pre made messages to save time and picking the closest ones to what I want to say…what I'm not that fast at typing." Blitz says.

Lightning frowns a bit. "I hate you treating me like that."

"That's why I said we will have some private time alone." Blitz says starting to pet her mane.

Lightning leans into his petting. "Blitz…I meant how those messages sound like to me. Like I'm a know nothing soldier."

"I know, which is why I'm going to reprogram some new messages." Blitz says wrapping his tails around hers.

Lightning leans forward a bit. "You better. I hate being treated like this. Like nothing."

"You're not nothing. You're a sexy mandalorian." Blitz whispers into her ear.

Lightning smiled a bit before they hear the door open behind the crates. "Cross, I need to speak to you privately soon." She said with a small smirk.

"Roger that." Blitz says as he puts their helmets on them and untangle themselves.

Lightning grabs his hoof before Blitz feels her tail running along him before she lets go and walks off, leaving him in the room.

Blitz smiles as he eyes her flank as she walks away. "Yep, sexy as always." Almost as if Lightning heard him, she gives a few extra shakes to her flank as she kept walking before he heads out.

Silver looks to him as he exits onto the deck. "What happen to you? You disappeared for a bit."

"Just checking on something. Looks like more of the weapons I showed the king." Blitz says eyeing a few rifles stored around.

Silver nods and eyed him carefully. "You going to let us use it?"

"No way to avoid them seeing the weapons now." Blitz says.

Silver sighs. "I'll let the ghost team have them. Better since we got one who at least knows the tech for them and could help if needed."

"Too many for just my squad and too loud for that. Think of them as swivels that are carried around everywhere." Blitz says.

Silver shrugs. "Then I'll guess I'll have the squads watching the line have them when we get there."

"Could be looking at the next standard weapon issued to all the army." Blitz says.

Silver chuckles. "Yeah, now we just need to be careful. Because knowing the dogs, it could explode right in our face and not the enemy."

"They can if you don't maintain them properly." Blitz says as he send a manual program of the muskets to Lightning.

Silver sighs and picks one up. "So how far away is this stuff to yours?"

"Energy based, so I would say centuries away." Blitz says.

Silver shakes his head. "Oh well, it's something at least."

"And we now have the third ship in our unit." Blitz says.

Silver smirks. "Think they would let us keep it?"

"Don't see why not." Blitz says.

Silver chuckles. "Maybe soon we would have to send it back to let them find out how far they come."

"The king already knows. I would be surprise if he isn't taking steps to counter it." Blitz says.

Silver shrugs. "Maybe a heavier attack for cannons and explosive."

"We shall see soon enough. By the way, when we get to the mountain base, I will need to be alone with Surge for a while." Blitz says.

Silver nods. "I'll see if I can get a tent set up for you."

"I was thinking inside the base built into the mountain." Blitz clarifies.

Silver smirks. "Really now?" He asks, knowing the sound doesn't reach much around inside.

"We are also going to need maps of the outlining area to study." Blitz says.

Silver searches his bags and gives him a few scrolls. "The guard posts, the topography, regular map that travelers would get and the town nearby, just in case."

"Those will do perfectly for our operation." Blitz says.

Silver nods. "I made sure to get every information just in case of something bad." He said taking a wrapper out and opens it before eating what was inside it. "Chocolate?" He asks with his mouth full and holding out another.

"Oh some dog was planning on poisoning another." Blitz says.

Silver shrugs. "Suit yourself. I just want to eat this now so I don't come home to an angry nestmate. Why didn't you finish what I gave you? Is it really that bad?" He asks in a higher pitch. "I swear, I can hear the blades being sharpened now."

"What, she expecting an egg?" Blitz jokes.

Silver chuckles. "No, just to make a busted mattress when I get home."

"I see, so did she like seeing you on leave?" Blitz asks.

Silver smiled. "What nestmate wouldn't?"

"Is that why your officer bars were inverted?" Blitz asks.

Silver eyes his bars on his clothes. "Oh yeah. Forgot about setting them right because we had a bit of fun, bit. Didn't realize it until halfway to the launch site. Now that was for a search for a mirror."

"Well I will leave you be." Blitz says walking away.

Silver hums as he kept eating and watching the others go through the new airship.

"So happy now?" Blitz asks as he holds Lightning.

Lightning sighs and nuzzles his chest. "Yeah. Thanks for this."

Blitz just nuzzles her head. "No problem, after all, you are my mare. So you want to have fun?"

Lightning shakes her head. "No, only back home."

"Ok, so want to stay like this?" Blitz asks as Lightning wraps her wings around him.

Lightning nods. "Yeah, just you and me and nothing else."

"It would be better if we didn't have to wear our armors for this." Blitz says entwining their tails.

Lightning nods. "Yeah, I…I love you Blitz."

"I love you too. My Lightning." Blitz says.

Lightning sighs and opens her eyes to see the maps laid out on the wall. "What's with the city and why is the streets marked with red?" She asks seeing the streets all covered in red and a skull and crossbones.

"Those are plans for work. That is for later. Right now, it is just you and me and the meal." Blitz says starting to pet her.

Lightning giggles and looks to the plate right next to them and she grabs a bit and holds it up to him. "Say ah." She said playfully.

"How about I say that so I can spoil my mare?" Blitz says playfully.

Lightning sighs and nuzzles him before giving him some food. "Here."

"Say ah, my beautiful mare." Blitz says.

Lightning smiled and opens her mouth. "Ah." She voiced.

Blitz chuckles and gives her the food and she eats it happily. "Like it?"

"The food is decent, considering we are at war, but the view isn't half bad." Lightning says.

Blitz gives a kiss on her nose. "Lucky mare. Right?" He asks giving another kiss on her nose.

Lightning sighs in relief as she lays her head down again. "Yeah, lucky." She said now rubbing a hoof on his chest.

"Glad you approve. Also it turns out that they are giving me another platoon to command. That means thirty more soldiers will be joining ghost." Blitz says.

Lightning shakes her head a bit. "Geez, what's next? Parkouring citizens?" She asks humorously.

"If they have the skills. Also for our operation, we will have a squad of rangers joining us. Watch them." Blitz says.

Lightning looks up at him and crawls a bit forward. "If you cannot treat me any different."

"You're my second in command here love, but I don't want anyone to know you are my wife to keep you safe." Blitz says.

Lightning nuzzles their noses together. "I meant when it's private."

"Oh then heck no. You are my wife and I will never stop loving you." Blitz says stroking her flank.

Lightning gives a small kiss to him. "Good. Because it really hurt me when you sent those messages."

"Speaking of which, want to help create new pre-made messages?" Blitz asks.

Lightning smiled and nuzzles him again and leans her head into his neck. "Yeah, how many you got that needs to be remade?"

"Quite a few." Blitz says linking his communicator to her omnitool.

Lightning looks at them. "Jeez, where did you get these? Military front page websites?" She asks humorously.

"No, the default program compiled them." Blitz says.

Lightning shakes her head before messing with a few. "Let's work on it." She said now changing the words.

"Very well." Blitz says before kissing the side of her face.

Silver sighs as he looks out the guard post and walls on the trails that lead through the mountain. "We got everything up?" He asks Blitz.

Blitz was looking over a list. "Yep, got the squads at the posts, got the ghost team watching a little farther away for anything and then there's the armory we gave the post team in case of an attack at close range. Told them to keep it close range and watch their eyes in case of misfire or explosion from being stuck. Gotta hate old weapons sometimes."

Silver huffs. "Wish we could fix those up, but we need tools and material that we don't have at the moment."

"Sirs?" Wind asks behind them.

"Ah, knight captain Sheer. You finished deploying your troops?" Blitz asks.

Wind nods. "Yes sir. But the mayor of the nearby town wants to speak to the high ranking commanders. He also said to stay off the streets and watch the barb wires and use the rooftops to travel. Also watch the other citizens as they move around."

"Well knight captain, you go with the commander here as preparations for my ghosts are complete and was about to set out." Blitz informs.

Wind eyes Silver warily. "Yes sir. Shall we?"

'It is about time I stop holding your talons.' Blitz thinks leaving.

Silver sighs and walks with her. "Let's go." He said as they walk to the edge of the mountain area. "This is the town?" He asks seeing the rooftops level with the mountain ground.

Wind nods. "Yep, was surprised too to see it like this."

Silver peers over the edge and sees the space and what is supposed to be the street below, but sees only a green gas covering everything up to a story on a building. "Huh." He said before looking to the buildings and sees ponies and griffons lounging about and running and jumping to get the next building. "This is definitely a living."

Wind huffs before jumping onto the building next to them. "Come on." She said now running to the next. "Get the exercise!" She calls out as Silver starts to go after her.

After a while they finally stop in the middle of the city and only then do they realize how many are on the rooftops. "Is the town up here?" Silver asks looking around at the many citizens.

"You bet your tailfeathers sonny." A voice said from right next to them.

They look over to see an old mare rocking in her chair. "Welcome to really the healthiest place in the country. Healthy enough for our own senior citizens to even jump and get around then just crawl."

Wind was peeking over the edge and kicks a rock down below and only hits the pavement in the thick green fog below. "What's wrong with the street?"

The mare chuckles. "No idea. They just told us to stay out of it and only get down using the interior of the buildings. We never heard from those that got curious though. May they rest in peace if need be."

Silver looks around. "Where's the mayor?" The mare just laughs before getting up so quick and jump in front of them, actually surprising them on how quick she is. "You're the mayor?" The mare only shakes her head before rushing over to the door of a patio area nearby and knocks on the door. "Honey! There's some griffon soldiers to see ya!" The mare calls out before going back to her chair and keeps rocking and watches the others.

The door rattles a bit before it opens to another elder stallion. "Hey there. Well welcome to our paradise where exercise is something we do with our eyes closed. Seriously, we have a competition on it."

Silver and Wind just watches confused. "Umm…you called us. Here we are. So what do you need?" Silver asks.

The stallion just taps his chin. "What did I need? What did I…oh yeah! You aren't going to destroy my town, are you?" He asks slightly glaring at them.

"You called us here to ask us that?" Silver asks.

The stallion huffs and walks back into the building. "Follow me birdbrains." He said making their feathers puff up a bit before they followed him. "There's a reason we don't want anypony down there. And here's why." He said going down a flight of stairs and they come to a metal boarded up window. "Take a look, but not too close." Silver and Wind just looks confused as they take a look and sees the green fog and then sees a large scythe move slowly out of the fog and then back down, as if slicing the air.

"What is that?" Silver asks.

The stallion chuckles. "Our town guards and we don't want our town destroyed and let them out. The world may regret it."

"Where is that exactly?" Silver asks.

The stallion chuckles and they look behind them to see him already gone. "Welcome to the fabled and rumored horror town." They heard him say before something smashed against the window. "Might want to run. They can know when others are near."

"Knight captain, time to leave." Silver says before he rushed up the stairs.

Wind follows and jumps past a hatch and the stallion quickly shuts it. "So now you see why we don't this place destroyed? We can hold our own, even me, but we need to stay and protect everypony out there from this."

"I'm worried. If the ghosts enter, then…" Silver was cut off by a horrible pained scream.

Wind looks down the hatch. "What was that?"

The stallion smirks. "One of the guards. Our monster guards. Looks like they found one of their own in pain. If you excuse me, I have to deal with it. My wife will help you with anything else you need." He said before opening the hatch again and goes down it before closing it and latching it behind him.

"You don't think…?" Wind asks.

"Cross and his ghosts?" Silver asks.

Wind and Silver just stare at each other before heading out and sees a foal and a hatchling run past with either a pipe or a wrench on their backs. "What's with the part's and tool?" Silver asks.

The mare smiled. "The way to get around on the wires. Anything that isn't good to use on the building to hold it up, we use another way."

Wind watches as the young ones takes the parts off their backs and uses to start sliding down a wire and heads toward the far end of town. "Huh. You better contact Cross." She said.

"Where could he be…" Silver was cut off when he saw a torso nearby.

Wind holds her talons up to her mouth and tries to hold it in. "What…whose…?"

Silver walks over to it and saw it resembled a griffon's torso. "That's it. We got to get back." He said turning away and heading back.

"Having fun Terran?" Blitz asks as Terran tears another in half. "Just throw down this time, not like the last one." Blitz says blasting one in the face several times causing it to slump.

"Cross! Stop!" Silver yells as he flew overhead and Wind joins him a bit later.

"Good, seems these things are starting to learn why to fear." Blitz says as the things start to back off.

Silver growls before landing straight in front of him. "Dang it Cross! Do you do things without thinking it through or you just shoot things that are foreign to you?!" He yells as the creatures starts to stay under the buildings and crawl into alleyways.

"No, they attacked me and I just started to pile corpses." Blitz says as Terran rips a large bone out of one of the corpses and starts gnawing on it happily.

Silver frowns. "Cross, these things are the town guards and the lifestyle of the town. Yes, we can't let them leave the town, but that doesn't excuse killing them. You could have gotten out and never looked back, would you put that thing away!" He yells seeing him pointing the blaster at the ones peering around a corner.

"I may have, but not all my men." Blitz says holstering it.

"Wait, you used yourself as a diversion?" Wind asks.

Blitz seems to be raising an eyebrow. "I had to get them out somehow."

Silver sighs as he puts a talon to his face. "Dang it Cross. What am I going to do with you?"

"This is why we go on these missions. High risk and you can deny my actions if need be." Blitz says walking away.

Silver sighs as he sees some of the creatures watch them carefully before both Wind and him take off after Blitz as they got out of town. "I want no one going there and try to steer their explosive fire away from there too." He said after they get back to camp.

"You're the commander. If you don't want us there, then my ghosts will avoid it. We already scouted it though and located what they are guarding." Blitz says.

Silver sighs. "Care to enlighten me?"

"It's not the town, it's what it is built over." Blitz says.

Silver looks to him. "And how do you know that?"

"I'm very good at my job, but if word gets out, it will be tough to keep the archaeologists away." Blitz says.

Silver sighs. "Okay then. Let's keep things quiet. But you know the dogs may find out soon."

"Oh, I don't know about that. We stumbled on those things tracking some dogs." Blitz says.

Silver glares slightly. "I thought those things were stuck in the city?"

Blitz shrugs. "Looks like they built tunnels for themselves. It seems they have a preserved territory or are guarding the tomb."

Silver stares at him. "Did you take anything?"

"No, I didn't even let my own men enter. So the only ones who know about it are the three of us." Blitz says.

Silver raises an eyebrow. "I'm not so sure about that. The mayor actually went down to deal with the problem you presented."

"Outside the city." Blitz clarifies.

Silver sighs. "Better. You got anything else…other than the town and those things?"

Blitz shakes his head. "Nope, just everyone in their positions."

Silver shakes his head to clear it a bit. "Then let's get ready for a march."

"Oh wait, I did learn one other thing from a prisoner we captured. It turns out a warchief is running this area and he is waiting for a second one to arrive on his airship before attacking. Sound familiar?" Blitz asks.

Silver growls a bit. "Guess they will never get the chance. Think you can help run interception?"

"On one that is already dead?" Blitz asks.

Silver smirks. "I meant meet up with the one coming in and maybe take him out before he gets too close."

"We got a more pressing issue. According to the prisoner, they have six other airships at their current base." Blitz says.

Silver sighs and looks ahead a bit. "How about we give them a show stopper."

"Sir, if we are going to stop this, we have to do so yesterday." Blitz says.

Silver smirks. "Then what are you still doing here?"

"Waiting for you to give the order." Blitz says.

Silver shakes his head. "Go."

"Roger. Knight captain Sheer come with me. I'm going to need your help with this." Blitz says.

Wind eyes him. "Yes sir. Where do you want me to go?"

"Follow me. I will explain everything." Blitz says.

Wind nods and follows him as he walks away and Silver watches them leave. "Good luck." He said quietly.

Spike sat down on the couch as he thought heavily on what's next. "Can't be that way. Maybe the two maneuver."

Slender walks up and sits down with him. "Still thinking on the next simulation, huh?" She asks while making her tail wrap around him.

"Yep, they are getting harder and harder." Spike says.

Slender hums. "Well, you are the best at this. I'm sure you will get it. Besides, I hear Mandalore will give you something if you win. And I know how your greed on that works so…enjoy." She said while making her tail move up and down on him.

"Wait, all forces halt and pull back." Spike says to the simulation.

Slender sighs and sits up. "I'll let you work. Bye drake." She said playfully as she walks away to the upstairs view box.

Spike blushes a bit before walking up the main system and zooms out in the large spherical room and shows the whole battlefield that looks too real. "Rocks, lots of rocks. Let's try trickery." He said to the mandalorians below him who were piloting the fleet. "I want a squad of drones to go through that field and attack first and then move the whole fleet forward. Don't have the drones fire unless there's something in the way because they are going at full speed into them."

Slender walks up to Mandalore who was watching from a booth. "I see you got him to focus fully on it again." Mandalore says.

Slender seems to smirk. "He's smart and tough. He has the mind of a dragon, but the personality of a pony. And therein lies the problem. No matter who or what you are, you always need someone there for you." She said as they watch the fleet move and the enemy in a small frenzy.

"He recognized that the majority of the enemy fleet was bait." Mandalore says.

Slender nods and hums a little tune as something sounding like an orchestra. "Just need to find that one ship." She said before going back to her humming as Spike looks through every enemy ship before stopping on one and pointing.

They watch as the main gun of the capital ship fires and destroy it completely before the other ships stop their firing and shut down. Slender smiled a little as she watches Spike and the others cheer.

Mandalore held a thin line on his face as he watches them finally look to them before he turns to one of the operation personal. "On screen." He said before they see the battle ground again and the aftermath.

"Hey?! Why is this in the simulation?" Spike asks as the other mandalorians with him sit back down and try to avert their eyes.

"You made it as real as possible I see." Slender says "Even the debris."

Spike looks to the simulation and zooms in on one of his ships moving close to the enemy ship and sees them boarding it. "This isn't in the simulation. That I know. From all the battles I did. There was never a boarding option. What are these?!" Spike asks turning back to them.

Mandalore simply leans forward. "You stopped one of the deadliest blockade we have ever had to deal with. We have been locked in a stalemate for two years before you resolved it." He said as Slender finally looks at him.

Spike finally stops pointing and lets his arms hang limp. "So…then I…what did I do?" He asks himself as he realized he just let drones of his, real drones, some may be piloted by real pilots, and one main ship that took major damage and possibly some life. Spike stares downward before he hears an explosion and sees the view room completely destroyed and some black tendrils coming out of it.

"Congratulations. You finally made a killer. You proud of making a child soldier?" Slender asks coldly as she held Mandalore up on the wall by stabbing a few tendrils through his shoulder.

"This was only a simulation. But this is to show what would happen in real life." A voice on the speaker says.

Slender huffs. "Ah Blitz. So glad you could make it. By the way, I doubt that he would let Spike live it down that wasn't a simulation."

"Blitz isn't on the station. He is fighting a terrestrial war on his home planet." Mandalore informed.

Slender growls at him. "Quiet." She hissed as she drives the tendrils deeper. "Blitz, did you approve this? To make him a killer?"

"This is to see if he can handle being a commander." Mandalore says.

Slender growls before retracting all the tendrils back to herself and lets him fall to the ground before going back to the elevator. "Just know you kill his childhood. He's going to enter the time of pain and suffering when he should have been having fun." She said before heading down and carefully walks to Spike as he sniffs a few times and lets him hug her. She just rests her head on his head and rubs his spines a bit.

"I knew ahead of time. They were upfront with me. I thought I was ready for such things." Spike says.

Slender nuzzles his head. "Nobody is ready Spike. Not even those who does have nerves."

"I can't play fast and loose anymore and see them as just numbers on a screen." Spike says.

Slender looks down at him. "No, you can't. But…those same skills you have been using may save those same lives."

Spike was silent as he considered her words. He was so into his thoughts, he didn't see Slender messing with her own omnitool and calling up someone.

"We pulled it off knight captain Sheer." Blitz says as they flew back with six airships.

Wind looks back to the burning base. "You sure we got every intel there?"

"What little was there and we also scored our fourth warchief kill. At this rate, our unit will be known as the warchief hunters." Blitz says.

Wind chuckles a bit. "Yeah, but at least we got out alive." She said eyeing the few griffons injured.

"That is the nature of these missions, but with this we stopped their next invasion attempt before they could even launch it and we now have nine ships for our unit." Blitz says.

Wind smiled. "Yes, but what more could the dogs have?"

"We don't know, but I suspect that with this some of us will be promoted. Maybe the commander will be promoted to Lt. Colonel." Blitz says.

Wind sighs. "Yes, him being recognized for this plan." She said sarcastically. "Do you like leaving things for him?"

"Not like we will be over looked for how we executed this." Blitz says.

Wind looks to him. "You would be surprised."

"Well me and my ghost won't be for our hunting of the enemy leader." Blitz says.

Wind chuckles. "Well at least we lessen the trouble we might get now."

"Yes, with the death of four warchiefs means four of the twenty six tribes are in fighting over who will lead next making it next to impossible to coordinate properly with the other twenty two." Blitz says.

Wind nods. "Yes. Now let's hope we get a big break after what we went through."

"I doubt it. If anything we are about to get a lot more busy. They won't sit quietly after losing four of their leaders and being stopped twice. I bet their next move will be a frontal assault with multiple tribes." Blitz says.

Wind watches him carefully. "You got a plan?"

"Not for that. For now, it is up to the generals to decide the next course of action. All we can do now is sure up our defenses." Blitz says.

Wind shakes her head as she opens a book she had. "You certainly are a strange one."

"If I make all the plans, how will you ever grow?" Blitz asks.

Wind smiles. "Certainly never."

"And that is why I am starting to ease off on helping Silver commanding little by little. This way he will ease into commanding without my help." Blitz says.

Wind nods and turns a page. "Yes, the hatchling does need help even though he doesn't realize he wants it."

"I won't be around forever to hold his claw. After this war, I'm heading back to my wife and son." Blitz says.

Wind looks up at him. "You have a wife and son?"

"Yes, my son was born not long before I got the summon." Blitz says.

Wind raises an eyebrow. "Really?"

"Yes, I didn't want to leave him, but I am duty bound." Blitz says.

Wind smiled as she went back to her book. "Then you are a wonderful stallion."

"And you like Silver Claw more than you let on." Blitz says.

Wind frowns. "No, I don't."

"Yes you do. You're not nearly as hard on the other two captains as you are on him." Blitz says.

Wind scoffs. "Oh please. He's too young."

"He is your exact age." Blitz says.

Wind growls. "I don't like him."

"Then why are you so angry?" Blitz asks smirking under his helmet.

Wind growls a bit more before closing her book and heads down into the ship and shuts the door behind her.

"Checkmate." Blitz says.

"She reminds me of someone." Lightning says.

Blitz looks to her. "Oh yeah, who?"

"Can't place it." Lightning says.

Blitz shrugs. "Eh, you'll figure it out. So…you feel better now that I changed the messages?" 'Yes love.' Blitz read on his visor.

Lightning sighs and leans a bit slightly in his direction. "You certainly do know how to treat others."

"Oh you can send me messages now?" Blitz asks.

Lightning shrugs. "Thought I make my own just in case."

"You are adorable." Blitz whispers.

Lightning smirks. "I'm sexy, not adorable."

"Depends on the time, since we aren't in bed and you're in your armor you are adorable." Blitz whispers.

Lightning giggles. "Oh Blitz. You really like to label."

"Only when I like something. When I love something then that is another story altogether." Blitz whispers.

Lightning sighs and sends another message. 'I love you.'

'So do I love.' Blitz sends back as they disappear from view.

"Alright class. Today is now officially the day we learn about my favorite subject." Cheerilee said before showing a book. "Math." She said electing groans from the class. "Oh hush now. We all need math in our lives and you will using it, like counting bits for example."

Scootaloo just stared straight ahead with her head on her hooves. "Scoots, want to do something later?" Sweetie Belle asks before Scootaloo actually snores a bit. "She's sleeping, with her eyes open?" She asks surprised.

"Don't ya remember big bro Blitz taught her and Rainbow that trick?" Apple Bloom whispered.

Sweetie Belle then thinks back. "Oh yeah. What was the propose of that?"

Apple Bloom thinks on that. "I think it was for the long talks they would get soon enough."

Sweetie Belle giggled at that before a beep sounded out from Apple Bloom's foreleg. She quickly hid it under the desk before looking around and making sure nopony heard it and then turns on her omnitool and sees she got a message from Slender. "Huh?"

"Apple Bloom!"

"Gah!" Apple Bloom yells as she puts her foreleg down again.

Cheerilee frowns a little. "Care to tell me what's more important than the advance fundamentals of counting your bits?"

Apple Bloom giggles. "Um…your life?"

"Pardon?" Cheerilee asks confused.

Apple Bloom raises a hoof up. "Your own life. Isn't that more important than how rich you are?"

"Um…" Cheerilee tries to say. "That's actually…pretty good. Nice work on being philosophical." She said before turning back to her lesson.

Apple Bloom quickly leans over to Sweetie Belle. "Sweetie, look." Apple Bloom whispered as she shows the message Slender sent.

"Hi girls. Listen, I'm probably going out of my way for this, but I can't do this alone. Right now, I need help with Spike. He's going through a tough time right now and he needs to know why he took this in the first place. The very first thing. You're the closest he's ever had and I don't think the princess even got close to how far you gotten with him. I'm sending over a favor that will get you three to us. It should be arriving within the hour. Good luck getting here." Slender said before ending her message.

Sweetie Belle stares at her. "Within the hour? We're still going to be in the school."

Apple Bloom nods. "That's why we're using our escape maneuver. Wake her up."

Sweetie Belle hits Scootaloo's shoulder and knocks her awake. "Huh, what? Is school over yet?"

"Scoots, emergency plan 57." Apple Bloom whispered.

She nods before they all get up and raise their hooves. "Ms. Cheerilee, we have to go." They said in perfect unison.

"Yes, yes. Go on then." Cheerilee said as she wrote on the board.

"Thanks Ms. Cheerilee." They said in unison as they grab their bags and head out.

Cheerilee writes a few more numbers before realizing something. "Wait, we don't have a bathroom." She said to herself before sticking her head outside. "Girls?!"

"Um…Ms. Cheerilee? They are heading into the forest." A student said as they all watch the CMC head into the forest before Cheerilee could stop them.

Silver eyes the new ships. "Huh, didn't think they would get close to ours." He said as he sees the ships almost the same as theirs.

"Well mostly. The armor plating is heavy class and crudely constructed and they have twice the cannons a typical airship of this class has." The newest captain of the unit says.

Silver smiled. "For a digging race, they sure know how to build a heavy fort. What's next, a flying fortress…actually, don't answer that." He said holding up a claw.

"Sir, the flagship we captured name was blasted to irrigable while capturing it. Think you can decide on a new name for it?" An engineer asks.

Silver taps a claw to his beak. "How about…hum…"

"What do you think is the most important aspect of the fleet Commander?" Blitz asks.

Silver thinks on that. "That would be the commander…wait…no. It can't be me. Maybe the Iron Wall."

"You have your answer engineer." Blitz says.

The engineer nods and starts grabbing a paint can and starts getting ready to make the name. "Now we just need to ready the others and hope the dogs don't just yell at us and don't attack their old ships." Silver said humorously.

"Oh, I don't think they will mistake us." Blitz says as they raised the griffon kingdom's flag on the newly dubbed Iron Wall. "So It's been nearly two weeks since we sent our report on our probing raid that secured us six more ships and also the end of a fourth warchief, have we received high command's response and our new orders?" Blitz asks.

Silver sighs. "Yep, they want us to go to a new field to watch over. Also check up on the area too as they haven't heard from it and the dogs have recently engaged our troops close in a full assault. Seems the dogs are upset we have blocked both of their attempts so far and lost four warchiefs. So the small scale strikes across our borders have failed and the sneak attack with their airships was a disaster so they seem to be just doing a frontal attack. Also, all the soldiers under my command have been given a commendation for our work so far and people will have to address us differently now, Knight Major Southern Cross." Silver says.

Blitz chuckles. "So that makes you Lt. Colonel Claw then." Blitz says.

Silver smiled. "Yep, but I don't think of it much. It doesn't matter when we get into battle other than, what's the orders sir? Know what I mean?"

"I know, so now that you have been promoted, does that mean our unit will…" Blitz was cut off by Silver.

"We will meet the rest of our new members at coordinates I have and we will have two new captains as the transfer of captain Brave from the base was made permanent and to make up for your promotion." Silver explains.

Blitz raises an eyebrow. "Well, we better get moving. But what about our post here?"

Silver smirks and nods his head to a few griffons and ponies coming toward them. "They want it. And the mayor somehow got the creatures to dig a few tunnels under the paths and stop there and help with guarding. I'm inclined to agree as I don't want to be dragged underground."

Blitz just eyes the citizens as they carry pies and sticks and blades. "Huh, let's hope they don't get too much restrictive on this area. They need the money."

"We could always send you back here with Terran. After all, those things fear you now." Silver jokes.

Blitz waves him off. "Nah, I want them to live, not kill off the whole species."

Silver eyes him. "Really, you want the things that attacked you to live?"

"I fought in self-defense and to secure an escape route for my men, nothing more." Blitz says.

Silver shakes his head. "Just don't try to provoke them and maybe we won't have problems. We certainly don't want to lose allies. I really don't want to fight on two fronts."

"I know. So according to the engineers they should have the fleet of nine airships will be ready to depart in two days and the soldiers are starting to get the hang of the rifles and I see you now have a revolver from the cargo we stole." Blitz says.

Silver smiled as he takes out the small weapon. "Yeah, figure I might as well upgrade myself for the future wars. I might be facing something that requires me to use this."

"It's a good weapon to use, but it is a pain to reload and takes a little time." Blitz says.

Silver shrugs and holsters it. "I would probably still be using my old weapons, so it's good for a backup."

"The piercing power of these guns far outweigh the power of the crossbows and arrows that is for sure." Blitz says.

Silver nods. "That I have no doubt. But we don't ammo for these as plentiful. Arrows and bows on the other talon…"

"Are faster to reload and some can even be reused and can be resupplied quickly." Blitz says.

Silver nods. "Yep, unlike these guns which are hard to use again. We might have to send it to a blacksmith just to reuse it without blowing up in our face. Easier just to get new ones and that we don't of much."

"For now we must use them sparingly, but thanks to the rifle, revolver, and their ammo I brought to the king as evidence and the unicorns that scanned them. We will soon have them manufacturing them wholesale." Blitz says.

Silver chuckles. "The problem that would come out of that is training the new soldiers on using that."

"Actually, know it takes years to train troops like those heavy shock troops over there." Blitz says pointing to heavily armored soldiers. "But it will only take a few months to train recruits to use the guns." Blitz says.

Silver grins. "I meant not getting excited to use the new toys too early and possibly waste them."

"I see, so where are the rangers? I was told a squad would be joining the ghosts." Blitz says.

Silver sighs. "They should be joining us at our new position. So we are going to have to get going soon."

"We have to wait two days unless you want to walk there." Blitz says.

Silver shakes his head. "I rather go with my whole army here, thank you very much."

"And leave knight captain Sheer in charge?" Blitz asks.

Silver looks over to the griffon leaning on a rail of a ship. "Her choice."

"You know, I think I figured out why she is so hard on you." Blitz says.

Silver looks to him. "Care to tell?"

"Let's just say she is hard on those she loves." Blitz says.

Silver looks confused for a moment before sighing. "It will never work between us."

"Yeah, if you give up before even trying." Blitz says walking away.

Silver puffs his feather out. "I already have a nestmate."

"Not uncommon for a griffon to have two especially from your kind of family." Blitz says.

Silver frowns before he feels someone near him. "Two huh?" He heard.

Blitz chuckles as Silver was then dragged away blushing like crazy. "The kid is growing up, huh Surge?" Blitz asks.

Lightning giggles. "Yeah. Still needs to learn about having multiple mates is going to be his lifestyle soon. Let's just hope it doesn't get in the way of being in the military."

"I doubt it will with that one keeping him straight." Blitz says.

Lightning smiled. "He will probably love it in the end…if his first one agrees to this."

"Let's not meddle in that." Blitz says.

Lightning nods and looks to him. "Want to…find a silent place and maybe…?" She asks getting close to him.

'We will have time for that later. For now I need you to keep drilling the soldiers on how to use those rifles.' Blitz sends a message.

Lightning sighs and nods. "See ya Cross."

'I will see you at midnight for one of those sessions.' Blitz sends.

Lightning giggles. 'Don't worry, you'll get a good massage.'

'Also watch out, I think the troops are getting more curious and have been trying to sneak a peek at us while we bathe.' Blitz messages.

Lightning grins a bit. 'I would normally say let them. For all try know, we are just more ponies in the army here.'

'But we mustn't, as it could put our family in danger down the road.' Blitz messages.

'I really wish we could spend time like a normal couple.' She sends.

'We will soon enough and then you best prepare yourself.' Blitz sends.

Lightning shakes her head. 'I think its best you do.'

'Oh you think so? My count is you on top zero times and me eight times.' Blitz sends.

Lightning smirks. 'Not next time.'

'We shall see. So prepare your flank.' Blitz sends.

'And you prepare that long thing of yours.'

'You smart flank sexy mare.' Blitz sends.

'And you hard stud ready to pound me into submission.'

'Let's stop before we both get so hot we start going at it.' Blitz sends.

'I wouldn't mind, as long as you knock me into a coma with that thing.'

'Work first, then all the free time we have will be fun time.' Blitz sends.

'Just go and get ready.'

'Yes love.' Blitz sends.

Lightning smiled and sits down as she watches the new trainees assemble and disassemble their weapons.

'By the way, your flank is putting off a lot of heat. I checked with thermal vision so let's take an ice cold bath soon.' Blitz sends.

Lightning nods as she tries to keep still. 'Yes sir.'

'I'll wash your wing.' Blitz sends.

'I'll wash yours and your tail too.' She sends back.

'You love just being sexy don't you?' Blitz sends.

Five days had passed and they just came into view of the location. "Get ready to unload. We have to get ready for an attack because we are close to the front line." Silver calls out.

Blitz chuckles a bit. "Yeah, at least it gives them an excuse to use their new toys." Blitz says before turning serious. "So give it to me straight, have the number of tribes or warchiefs been confirmed on this front yet?" Blitz asks.

Silver looks to him. "I think just a few of them. Just enough for us to handle with nothing much."

"And the whole front?" Blitz asks.

"Some claim to have seen ten while others, twelve warchiefs." Silver says.

Blitz scoffs. "Well, let's hope we get a low number. Otherwise we would have to do a one on one if we meet mid combat."

"To boost morale, our coming here has been share openly amongst the army and I'll bet you the dogs know we are coming now." Silver says.

Blitz nods. "Yes, but we are going to be ready. Best to do it while we're still getting there."

"Actually, that supply base down there is the rendezvous location. Those currently guarding it are our new troops." Silver says handing him the telescope.

Blitz looks through and sees a group with lots of cargo waiting around. "Huh. Well, let's pick em up or they might die of boredom."

"Orders are to stay and guard that supply base until the ones that are sent to relieve us arrive with our new orders." Silver says.

Blitz smiled. "You got better, you know that, right?"

"Yeah and you're not holding my claw nearly as much as you used to back during our first battle together." Silver says.

Blitz chuckles. "And you hate me for mentioning that little fact, right?"

Silver frowns. "How could I not? But I wasn't complaining once she was done."

"Now as her commander you must send her in to meet your girlfriend alone to survive the outcome." Blitz says.

Silver shivers. "I just wish the house would be intact when I get back."

"Who said at your home?" Blitz asks.

Silver just eyes him. "I still hate you."

"You might right now, but you won't later down the road." Blitz says as the Iron Wall starts to land in the supply base with the other eight airships.

Silver huffs. "Let's hope so."

Blitz stopped paying attention as he brings out a letter and starts reading it.

Silver sees the letter. "Who's that from?"

"My wife." Blitz says smiling as he looks at the picture of Azure.

Silver smiled. "Hope they're doing well."

"They are, but she writes Azure is missing his father." Blitz says.

Silver sighs. "Then let's hope you can be sent back home. Who knows what would happen when you're gone."

"I know." Blitz says putting the letter away.

Silver leans against the rails as the ships finally land at the base. "Hard to believe this has been going on for a while."

"Nearly six months already and from all perspectives we are just demolishing the dogs." Blitz says not as convinced.

Silver sighs. "I just wish we can get peace with them now…you're not convinced are you?"

"No, not yet as we have yet to face the majority of their hoard yet and they have yet to face their full powered assault with these weapons." Blitz says.

Silver nods. "What do you think would be coming up next?"

"I don't know." Blitz says.

Silver puts a talon on his head and sighs. "Well, let's hope we won't get in major trouble."

"Fear we will feel the full brunt of the next offensive with our forces in this campaign." Blitz says.

Silver looks to his army loading up and repairing what they can. "Yes, I'm now fearing that too."

"Well we will just have to keep vigilant here and…" Blitz stops and withdraws a claw over the railing. "You need more training to sneak up on me." Blitz finishes.

A griffon head peeks out from below them on the side of the ship. "How…?"

"I'm that much better." Blitz says.

Silver chuckles. "Maybe I should hire you to keep training these loud ones. They probably can't keep themselves quiet at night."

"Not my department, now ranger, fall in." Blitz says.

The ranger jumps off the side and stands at attention on the ground. "Sir." He said while trying to maintain a blush.

"Assumable the rest of your squad." Blitz says.

The ranger nods and walks off, leaving the two commanders again. "This one might either be boring or just plain crazy when it hits the fan." Silver said after a while of watching the base.

"No, they wanted to gauge my abilities." Blitz says.

Silver scoffs. "I meant our possible future battle. Not him."

"Ah, then that is the calm before the storm." Blitz says.

Silver chuckles. "Then I hope that storm just dissipates away."

"You can hope, but what do your instincts tell you?" Blitz asks.

Silver sighs. "We're going to be fucked because it's coming."

"You're starting to develop your commander abilities." Blitz says.

Silver shakes his head. "Nah, just experience and that damn army works."

"No, I don't think so." Blitz says before walking away.

Silver watches him as he leaves before turning back to the base. "I wonder if the dogs have their own shadow team."

"They're what?!" Applejack yells in Cheerilee's face.

Cheerilee leans back a little to get away from the angry mare. "I'm just saying they took off. I thought they were going to the bathroom, but that was before I realize we didn't have one." She tries to say as Applejack looked steamed.

'I'm going to kill Slendermane.' Rarity thinks.

Rainbow groans as she facehooves. "Well, which way did they go?"

Cheerilee points to the direction of the nearby forest. "Into the forest. Didn't have time to get them before they disappeared."

The three mares groan or yell in frustration as they head out and try to call, but only gets the standard voice mail. "Where the heck did that demon take them too?" Applejack asks.

"You call that stealth?!" Blitz yells at the ranger squad.

The rangers soon heads back to the starting point as they groan a bit from the fall from the building. "Hard to believe they made it this far." Lightning said from right beside him.

"They are not up to our standards that is for sure. Alright, take a five minute break. After that, you all will do full contact sparring with Surge here." Blitz says.

Lightning looks to him. "You sure they're ready?"

"No, kick their flanks and show them how skilled you are and something to inspire to." Blitz says.

Lightning laughs. "Really, close or long?"

"Mt. Olympus." Blitz says walking away as a soldier waves him over.

Lightning raises an eyebrow as she watches the rangers all try to rest up or look at her think, to which she just sits down and waits for them smiling under her helmet. 'Oh this will be fun.' Lightning thinks.

Blitz yawns a bit as he leans back and relaxes as he watches Lightning standing in an area next to some cargo, making it look real. "Okay, base checkup. This would be easy…for her." He said watching a few rangers on the rooftops getting close.

Lightning just laid on a box under the shady tree. She yawns before she hears a wire snap and sees at least three in a net behind her. "Nice try boys. But you have to watch the ground." She said before hearing another snap and looks up to see another three in a net. "And watch the air in front of you for invisible nets too." Lightning says before upper cutting on one trying to sneak up behind her.

Lightning sighs as she lays down again as the ranger falls backward as she sees a flap of clothing from around a tree in front of her and takes out a sphere before lazily tossing it to the tree line and waits. "Boom." She said as the sphere exploded in a bright flash getting two more blinded. "I got explosive grenades boys, but if I would have used it, you be dead. You're out of the game." She said as the rangers try to gain their bearings before grumbling and walking off. "Idiots." She said to herself as a snap was heard right next to her. "Non-damming bear trap. Classic, but it works." She said pointing a blaster at him. "Bang, you're dead." She said putting it away again. "Come on guys, give me something good."

Blitz was snoring as he finally fell asleep from the boring display. "Lousy." He said in his sleep and grabs a talon reaching for him. "Not even that much sleepy. Now get down there and fight her like a real griffon." Blitz says before throwing the griffon.

Lightning yawns as the sun starts to set and cast a long shadow on the base from the mountains in the distance. "When are these guys going to get good? I'm getting hungry." She said before sighing and getting up a bit and throws a disc onto the ground in front of her and lays back down before another flash went off from the disc. "Boom, you're dead." She said to the three new rangers. "Why groups of threes and twos? Come on, give it all you got." She calls out.

Finally all the rest of the rangers jump down around her. "Finally!" Lightning said sitting up. "But, major mistake." She said before pointing below them and they see nothing. "Bang, you're dead." They look up again and see her holding both her blasters. "Fell for it. Don't let that happen." She said before putting her blasters away and jumps down. "Training over. Go to bed." She said walking away. "Pathetic, you won't survive my life."

"Surge, switch gears, no more tools, no more stealth, just a straight up spar. All of them against you." Blitz says.

Lightning sighs and throws a few things and hits a few buttons as all the rangers gets released. "Come at me boys." She calls out as she waited before they all charged.

"Don't break any of their bones. They will be unable to do their duties properly or at all." Blitz calls before he hears yells and see some bodies flying away. "What did I say?"

"I didn't hear a crack yet." Lightning retorted.

"Not you. Him. Now get back down there." Blitz says throwing the griffon back.

He hears Lightning chuckling and sometimes laughing maniacally as she fights them and leaves them on the ground or throws them out of the group. He sighs as he throws another one behind him to the group. "Geez, they really are not that good."

"Please tell me the infirmary won't be full by the end of the day?" Silver asks coming up to him.

"They there have been bumps and bruises." Blitz says.

Silver scoffs. "Right, so how much, oh, never mind." He said seeing all the rangers down and out and Lightning yawns in boredom.

"This…was terrible." Lightning said before walking away. "Come back when you really get better."

"You heard her. Get back to training!" Blitz calls.

Silver smiled a bit as he watches all the rangers grumble and walks off with some holding their limbs. "I don't know if it's safe to keep you guys now. I'm worry you might scare off new potential recruits."

"Do you want effective soldiers or militia?" Blitz says.

Silver shrugs. "Depends on whose better. Sometimes the militia are better because they know the land and resources while the soldiers just know how to fight."

"Militia who are from the other side of the country then." Blitz says.

Silver scoffs. "When you say it like that…" He sighs and walks past him. "You better get some rest. We got a long day tomorrow."

"As you command." Blitz says walking to the barracks.

Five days later, the replacement troops arrived. "These are them?" Blitz asks, eyeing the new troops moving the cargo.

"Yes, they will take over the defense of this base. Now gather the troops, we are departing on our airships." Silver says.

Blitz nods and with the help of Lightning, was able to gather everyone and they set off. "So what's the layout of the land there?" Lightning asks.

"I sent a few probes to give us a 3D map ahead of time." Blitz says.

Lightning looks to him. "And how long would that take?"

Blitz shrugs. "A few more minutes and I should get something. Now then, our real mission?" He asks Silver.

"We are to patrol here for a week as a faint then head there and join up with colonel Talon and Captain Gilded and launch an offensive into this area." Silver says.

Blitz looks over to him carefully. "Huh. Well then, this should be fun. Two more commanders."

Lightning smiled. "There's going to be a mix up somewhere. I can guarantee that."

"Yes, they are planning some plan we haven't been informed of yet, but the Joint Chiefs of Staff have approved it." Silver said.

Blitz sighs. "Well, let's hope they keep it secret."

Lightning shakes her head. "And hope we follow it how they want it."

"So I will take command of the airship Silver, like we have planned?" Blitz asks.

Silver nods. "Yeah, you're use to the skies as a battleground. Me, I'm on the ground, but I may fall into life in the skies soon. Just not now."

"You better, you got a good pair of wings so you best use them." Blitz says.

Silver chuckles. "Don't worry. I will soon enough and here it comes." He said seeing the new ground.

"I will see you on patrol later." Blitz says.

Silver nods as the ships landed and the army on them disembarks while Silver heading to the large tent. "You think he would be fine?" Lightning asks as they watch him leave.

"Yes, he doesn't need me around holding his claw for this." Blitz says.

Lightning smiled. "Now we'll know what his first battle will be like going on himself."

"I doubt he will get into a battle. A skirmish maybe, but no battle." Blitz says as the Sabre and three other airships took off.

Lightning sighs. "Want me on the ground if there is one? Be on the lookout for more?"

"Later, we have just taken off Surge. Everything in moderation." Blitz says.

Lightning shakes her head. "If you need me, I'll be on the forefront and watch ahead and maybe a play something to bide the time."

"Surge, I want to see you in the captain's quarters to discuss something." Blitz says.

Lightning looks to him. "Alright, just remember…" 'Don't treat me different.' She sent.

'Oh, so you want me to pet you right away?' Blitz sends.

Lightning smirks. 'I just want you and your body heat. I need time with just laying together.'

'Done.' Blitz sends.

Lightning sighs and nuzzles Blitz's chest as she drapes her wings over them. "Morning Blitzy."

Blitz chuckles and nuzzles her head. "Morning my love."

Lightning looks up at him. "Is it time to go?"

Blitz nods. "Yeah, we might get new orders."

Lightning sighs and gets up. "What time is it?"

Blitz holds her down to him. "Just a little past six in the morning. I'll get ready. You can rest a bit more if you want."

Lightning smiled and kisses him. "Doesn't matter if we're attacked."

Blitz nods. "Good point. Let's go." He said letting her up and getting up himself.

Lightning giggles and grabs her gear. "What do we do after this battle, head home or when they don't need us anymore?"

"Until the dogs surrender or a cease fire is made." Blitz says.

Lightning huffs. "I sincerely doubt that."

"Yes, the dogs have shown they won't do either unless forced. So we may have to force the one who controls all them to accept a challenge." Blitz says.

Lightning scoffs. "If we find them."

"We will if we defeat them in this huge battle, he will be forced to show himself or the dogs all lose face and that is something none of them want and will start challenging him for right to rule if that happens and it will divide them further." Blitz says as Lightning brushes her mane.

Lightning looks to back to him a bit as she kept brushing. "Really now, well I prefer they get together after we finish this war. And let's not screw them over when this war is over. It would probably cause more problems." She said before looking back to herself.

"They have their own personal problems and we would just use that against them. If they lose because of that, they will be forced to correct it and start to come together." Blitz says.

Lightning nods and finished brushing and puts down her brush. "Let's get going." She said putting on her armor.

"We must finish our patrol first." Blitz says.

Lightning smiled. "Boo." She said putting on her helmet.

"Please don't start love, the ranger sergeant Spear has already started that with me." Blitz says.

Lightning shakes her head before walking over to him and pulling him along until they reach the door and makes him push her to the wall. "Try to not do stupid things, okay?"

"I'm not. Also, you want to hear the mutterings around the court?" Blitz asks.

Lightning nods and leans back. "Where is it?"

"The king is really valuing Silver and mine effort and to secure mine, he wants to increase my status from knight of the kingdom to a lord of the kingdom." Blitz says.

Lightning giggles and reaches a hoof to his cheek. "And what does that entitle you to?"

"Land a place at court and my voice adding power to a few of my friends in court and they will in turn help protect me and my family from court intrigue." Blitz says.

Lightning smiled. "And you don't want that, do you?"

"At least I would get an estate or castle and to tell the truth, I want to see you dress a lady of court at one of those snooty parties." Blitz says smirking.

Lighting smirks. "You just want to play with me while I'm in a dress, don't you?"

"No, just want to get a good picture of it." Blitz says chuckling.

Lightning sighs. "Of course you do. Let's just go and get this done. Otherwise you might lose that chance."

"Yes love and picture this, Rainbow, Vinyl, or Daring as a proper lady." Blitz says.

Lightning grins. "That's too cute of them, but they would squirm a lot."

"I know and I find it funny." Blitz says.

Lightning sighs and leans her head against his. "Let's get going sweets. We have to get our job done or they will fire us. By the way, are you sure the others aren't that suspicious?"

"No, because I keep calling in the other officers below me for reports and to tell them of and changes to any plans." Blitz says.

Lightning nods. "Good, now we to head out. Let's go." She said pushing herself off the wall and walking past him. "Come on sexy."

Blitz nods putting on his helmet and exits with her. "How's it going out here?" He asks seeing everyone working around the ship and the ship in motion to the borders.

The griffon at the wheel turns into the diction along the border. "Command wants us to patrol here. So far, nothing."

"Keep the course helmsman." Blitz says.

The griffon nods as Blitz steps up to the bridge. "I can see why they complain, but they won't once it starts flying."

"Sergeant Spear given you any trouble?" Blitz asks.

The griffon shakes his head. "Nah, just telling me to keep things going. He doesn't want any griffon idle."

"He is antsy for the operation." Blitz says.

The griffon nods. "Yeah, that's worrying too. Still need to deal with small minuscule particles, but you just have to fire up a black flare and the ground team will take care of it."

"I see and I know Sergeant Spear, you think we should head towards the rendezvous." Blitz says as a griffon came up behind him as the ship lifted off.

Spear huffs. "Yes, you should very well know what we have to do now."

"Finish our patrol like we were ordered." Blitz says.

Spear raises an eyebrow. "So you are not full of yourself, are you? Because I have the right mind to send you somewhere more fun."

"We are at war Sergeant, we cannot stop being vig…what is that over there?" Blitz asks seeing a cloud of black smoke rising.

Spear leans over before looking through a telescope. "Seems like it is a fire?" Spear says.

"Helmsman, steer us over there." Blitz says.

The helmsman nods and turns the wheel towards that direction. "Alright, let's get the weapons ready." Spear accounted to everyone.

"Surge, fly ahead and investigate." Blitz orders.

Lightning flies off and soon sees fire running along a forest and a town nearby in trouble. "There's a fire alright and there's a town that's catching it too."

"Alright, all hands prepare to help." Blitz orders.

The crew scrambled and gathers their weapons as the ship closes in on the town. "Give me ten seconds." The helmsman said before Blitz jumps off. "Or just not listen to me about that."

Blitz landed and looked around the burning village. Until he hears a small cry from a collapsed building. Blitz rushed over and started throwing the collapsed wood aside before entering the building and finding a young griffon child and picks him up and carries him outside. He soon sees every other griffon from the ship carrying any other survivors out of the burning buildings and trying to find any other dog that is still there. A soft coo from beside him and he sees the hatchling he's carrying looking at him.

"Surge." Blitz calls.

Lightning lands in front of him. "Yeah?"

"I want you and Spear to organize the rescue operations and looking after this little one. I have business to attend to." Blitz says barely containing his anger.

Lightning held a frowns as she took the little griffon who coos at her. "Hey there little guy. It'll be okay." She said tickling its stomach.

Blitz turns invisible and follows the tracks of the dogs who had done this. He soon finds a group of dogs running through the forest before they slow down and laugh and high paw each other and with some young griffons and some ponies being pulled by rope who were carrying bags and some boxes. "That was the best." One said as Blitz gets out his claws before he sees one of them fall and the others just looking at their fallen comrade, making Blitz stop. Soon more falls before a knife with a rope attached on the end got stabbed on one of the dogs and was pulled back before he was pulled up and actually strangled.

Blitz let's his claws retract as the dogs continue to fall before the last one was left standing and he growls as he whirls around widely. "Where are you coward?!" He yells, brandishing his sword.

"Who are you calling cowards, razors?" A voice asks before the dog fell back and Blitz sees a diamond knife or maybe, "Is that a kunai?"

The leftover griffons and ponies look around before a knife went past each of their ropes and they fell apart quite easily. "Get back to the town, help has arrived and all of your families has been saved, except, possibly for a select few. I'm sorry." The voice said before some branches were heard moving and a few leaves fell down.

"No one leaves." A gruff voice says as a huge dog steps forward with dual heavy axes in his paws.

Blitz growls as he lets his claws out once more. "I'll take this." He said before walking out and the dog sees him.

"Are you the one who killed my soldiers?" The dog asks with a gruff voice and the once captured ponies and griffons backed off.

"No, but I'm here for you and your men heads like I took the last two warchiefs." Blitz says.

The dog laughs. "You challenge me?! You're a fucking pony. You can't do much other than prance around. The birds put up a more fitting fight."

"Really?" Blitz asks before disappearing and soon the warchief's left arm fell off severed before Blitz reappears.

The dog growls before yelling and charging at him and rears his leftover arm back. "Die!" He yells before swiping down and hits the ground where Blitz was. "What?!"

"All muscle and no strength or brains, now die." Blitz says before beeping was heard on the warchief's chest.

The dog looks down and sees a blinking circle on his armor chest. "Shit." He said before his chest exploded and his head flew off before it landed a bit away.

"Now for the rest of you." Blitz says before jumping at some of the dogs.

After the fight, all but two were dead. "Huh, there was more of you a second ago." He said withdraws his claws and lets the last two run. He turns back to the griffons and ponies left behind. "Everyone okay?"

The griffons and ponies nods and puts the boxes and bags down. "We're fine." One said before stretching himself and grabs his box and walks back. "Come on guys."

"You come out now or would you rather I come and get you Ranger Captain?" Blitz asks.

Some branches shake. "You would like that, wouldn't you?" The voice asks. "How about a game?"

"Knight Major Southern Cross and I know exactly where you are." Blitz says throwing the kunai he picked up into the tree which the ranger was on.

He hears a thunk and then some wood creaking. "Nice shoot. Still need to work on the travel because it wobbles in the air if not thrown right." The voice said before another branch shakes. "How about this, help me with a camp and I would show myself. Don't and I would take care of it on my own and we go our separate ways."

"With or without artillery fire?" Blitz asks.

The voice chuckles. "You're funny, but where's the fun in that? Now will you or won't you help me?"

"Was planning on following those two back to their camp to destroy the rest of their tribe so they can't raze another city like that again." Blitz says disappearing before reappearing behind the ranger. "And don't think I can't find you." Blitz says before disappearing again.

The voice sighs and jumps down and Blitz reappears in the middle of the trail and sees the voice was a griffon in a black costume that seems to hide almost everything. "You serious? A ninja costume?"

The griffon shrugs. "What, it works and I loved the history behind these guys. Plus, it works. I got them down." He said pointing to the dead bodies.

"Yes, but you aimed for the throat while the jugular would have been bore effective." Blitz says.

The griffon sighs. "At least I know you're not a total idiot. Want to head to the camp now?"

"Let's follow those foals and hatchling at a distance." Blitz says.

The griffons shrugs. "Fine, but what about the camp nearby? After we get them back?"

"We shall see it first, then decide." Blitz says.

The griffon nods and jumps onto a branch again and starts following where the dogs went. "Come on." He calls back to him.

Blitz follows as they follow the two dogs. After a while, they stop a bit from the tree line and sees a whole dog camp moving about and the surrounding areas of the camp in a small frenzy. "Nice place, how about a taste of their medicine?" The griffon asks.

"Why don't we put on a show and really put the fear into them. Can you start setting small fires around the camp?" Blitz asks.

The griffon chuckles. "What do you take me for?" He asks before jumping off and grabs a left behind torch.

"Then let's do this." Blitz says turning invisible again.

After a while, the dogs hears something and then smell something before seeing smoke and then fire and they all rushed over and tried to put it, but more fires popped up then they tried to put out. Blitz chuckles a bit as he runs past a frantic dog group before heading for the biggest tent and heads inside to find a dog muttering something and rushing about the table. "Why the heck is my camp on fire? Explain!" He calls out to the other dogs in the tent.

"We don't know, but we're putting them out." One said.

The chief grabs him by the scruff of his collar before growling. "Then why aren't you out there?!"

"It's an inferno!" A dog outside cries.

The chief then throws the dog he got to the entrance. "Put it out!" He yells before the dogs run out and the chief stares at the entrance before he sees a black shape appear upward from the ground. "Chief, your time has come." Blitz said before a metal claw struck him, killing him as the distorted image from the fire cleared, revealing Blitz.

The chief coughs up blood before dropping to the ground. "Who are you?" He chokes out.

"I have many names: Southern Cross being the most used, but I was given the name Reaper, because I am the leader of the Ghosts. Who, as of now, have killed six warchiefs." Blitz says.

The chief coughs some more before starting to blackout. "Damn you." He said before Blitz hears his final breath and turns around to leave before seeing the griffon looking over the table full of papers.

"Take all you can carry, I will continue with the camp." Blitz says walking back into the fire, claws extended.

The griffon huffs as he tries to look over everything before stopping at one. "There you are you bastard. Now you're going to pay for what you did." He said stuffing it in his suit and grabs the rest before running off. Outside he sees Blitz hard at work cutting down warrior after warrior. He chuckles before flying off along the ground before heading into the forest and flies up back to the town.

Blitz sighs in relief as he walks away from the camp as the last few bodies fell down as he cleaned his claws. He says nothing as he sees the last remaining warrior fleeing in fear as the flames rage out of control and started to consume the camp completely.

When Blitz reached the town again, he sees the families with all the young ones who were taken and goes over to Silver. "So, how did it go?"

Silver looks to him. "Most of the families were saved and the buildings that were housing the families were saved in time. The important ones, forget it. By the way, some griffon dropped these off." He said showing the papers and files.

"What about the hatchling I saved from the burning building? I saw two other griffons on the floor dead." Blitz says.

Silver sighs and looks over to the young griffon being healed up. "He knows. It seems like he saw it. We're trying to help him now."

Blitz nods and wordlessly walks over and offers a hoof to the young hatchling. The griffon looks up at him before taking his hoof and Blitz pulls him up and leads him over to the small lake nearby and lays down with the hatchling following his example.

The next day, Blitz met with Lightning as the hatchling slept in his bed. "I have decided to adopt the hatchling." Blitz says.

Lightning looks over to the little one sleeping soundlessly. "Are you sure? I mean with him coming along with almost everything we do."

"That is why I want you to take him to Twilight on the Darkstar." Blitz says.

Lightning sighs. "Okay, when do you want me to take him?"

"Now as we will soon be going into battle." Blitz says.

Lightning nods. "Okay, let's just let him rest first and then I'll take him there. And did you notice the necklace on him?" She asks seeing the jagged piece of something hanging around the hatchling's neck.

"Yes, I noticed." Blitz says.

Lightning sighs and sits down at the table nearby. "Good, but now you got two kids to take care of. You sure you're okay?"

"Yeah, I am." Blitz says.

Lightning looks to him and glared slightly. "Blitz. Tell me the truth. Are you okay?"

Blitz sighs. "I…I'm now worried to tell the truth." He said looking to the hatchling. "Worried about losing you two."

Lightning shakes her head. "Blitz, you won't lose me or that hatchling. Maybe injured, but not lost."

"Okay, you will be picked up by the Darkstar here." Blitz says.

Lightning nods and sighs, looking to the hatchling before he snorts. She giggles a bit as she hears it. "He does kinda grows on ya, but what about any other family? Doesn't the town know about any other family?"

"We will look and if we find any, we will see if they will take him." Blitz says.

Lightning nods. "Try not to get too attached then. Now then, should we head out and see if there is family first in this town?"

Blitz nods and puts a hoof up. "You watch, I'll check." He said grabbing his armor. "I'll be back when I finish asking around."

Lightning sighs and leans against the chair and looks to the hatchling. "You got it."

Blitz sighs and puts on the armor before heading out. Lightning leans on a hoof as she watches him before starting to close her eyes before quickly opening them again. She kept doing this until she fully closes her eyes and slept for a bit before being shaken awake. "Wha…?" She asks looking to Blitz who came back. "Well, did you find anyone?"

"We have been ordered to the front immediately, I can't look around and check." Blitz says.

Lightning sighs and sits up. "Okay, I'll get him to the Darkstar then." She said going to him and shaking him awake.

"Let him sleep through the ride as he has been through a lot." Blitz says.

Lightning looks to him as the griffon awoke. "You sure, what if we were attacked?"

"Trust me." Blitz says.

Lightning frowns a little before looking back to the little one. "You can head back to sleep." She said following him out after she put her armor on. The griffon only stares before yawning and lays down to sleep again and pulls the covers around him.

"See you later." Blitz says.

Lightning smiled as she looks back at him as the griffon smiled a little before she follows him out and closes the door. "Like I said, he grows on you."

Azure laughs as he chased a butterfly that seemed to get into the castle as Octavia smiled and watched on. "Oh Azure."

Twilight smiled as she came in. "Hey there. We got a visitor."

"Sorry for not calling beforehand Twilight." Octavia says.

Twilight giggles. "It's okay. You're always welcome here, you're family." She then walks over to her. "Now look who Blitz found. Don't worry, he's going to make sure he can adopt." She said and turns her body slightly and shows the griffon on her back.

"What happened?" Octavia asks.

Twilight lets the griffon down and they watch him walk over to Azure. "His parents were killed in a razed town. Blitz would check to see if he has any leftover family, but it will take time. For now, he's with us."

"I see, so is he scared?" Octavia whispered.

Twilight leans over. "A little. He's scared because there is not many griffons here and then the dogs burning down his town and his parents killed. But it seems he's either good at hiding or is really good at adapting. Only time will tell." She whispered.

Octavia sighs and looks to the griffon and Azure now chasing the butterfly. "Does he have a name?"

"The necklace has the name, Blazer." Twilight says.

Octavia smiled. "Blazer, that's sweet. So what do we do now? Keep watch until Blitz can find someone?"

"That or the alternative happens. Blitz has stated he intends to adopt him if he can't." Twilight says.

Octavia sighs as she watches Blazer and Azure try to best each other now. "Then let's hope we can at least find some of his family. I don't mind having him, it's just not right to leave him from his family if he has any."

"Blitz will check and at rate they are going. The war may end soon." Twilight says before a changeling walks up.

"My queen, your egg is about to hatch." The changeling says.

Twilight gasps and runs over to her room and finds her egg being watch by a few changelings. "How is it?" She asks as Octavia, Azure and Blazer follows her.

The changelings smiled at her. "It will be a very good hatch now. What about the king?" One asks.

Twilight frowns a bit. "I…don't know."

"Didn't Lightning mention anything?" Octavia asks.

"Not really, she seemed be in a rush to get back, the best I get. Besides his occasional calls is griffon kingdom propaganda in the griffon kingdom from a few changelings." Twilight says.

Octavia raises an eyebrow before looking to the egg shaking a bit now. "Look, it's moving." She said as they all close in.

Soon a crack forms as Twilight moves the closest. They all watch as more cracks form before a piece falls and they heard a small cooing sound and a hoof reaching out. "That's right little one, push, push." Twilight smiled as the little foal pushes itself out and soon fell onto the cloth below and was bundled by the changelings before being given to Twilight. "My queen, congratulations." One said as she gave the little foal over to her.

"Hey there little one. I'm your mom." Twilight says smiling at the foal who she noticed had a horn.

Octavia smiled as she looks to the foal as well. "Looks like we have a unicorn. Want to check for wings, just in case?" She asks.

Twilight pulls the cloth back and sees a set of wings on its back. "We got an alicorn. Now for gender." She said moving the cloth a bit. "It's a…boy?" Twilight said confused.

"Look Azure, you got a brother." Octavia says before registering the last part. "Why are you so surprised? Did you want a daughter?"

Twilight shakes her head. "No, it's just no male alicorns have ever existed."

"Well how many known alicorns have been females?" Octavia asks as Azure climb on top of her head to see the newborn.

Twilight looks to her. "Octavia, Celestia and Luna are the first ones. Cadance was the last born female. I got mine through magic."

"So only three naturally born." Octavia says.

Twilight nods and looks back to the foal looking up at her with his black red eyes. "Wow, you can really get lost in that."

Octavia leans over as Blazer tries to hop onto a changeling and look for himself. "Yeah, he almost look menacing. The only thing stopping that is how contrast he is. Look at that white mane. White mane? There's hardly ever been one. Oh wait, should you notify your family and call the other princesses?"

Twilight sighs. "As soon as I call Blitz. He should know his second son is born." She said sitting on the bed and holding her son while calling up Blitz. "I hope he can answer."

Blitz sighed in the captain quarters when his communicator rang. "You got Silver Cross." He answered as he accepted the call.

"Is that any way to introduce yourself to your new foal?" Twilight asks while smirking as she lifted him up higher to show him.

"Huh?" Blitz asks looking at the screen.

Twilight smiles. "Our egg hatched Blitz. Say hello to your new son." She said as the foal coos at him. "What are we going to name him?"

"So our foal is a unicorn huh?" Blitz asks.

Twilight moves some cloth and shows his back. "Alicorn." She said as he sees the wings.

"I see…Arcane Force." Blitz suggests.

Twilight giggles. "Really, your chosen queen name for me?"

"I think it fits as you will be known as Queen Arcane to the changelings soon enough." Blitz says.

Twilight grins. "Won't that be confusing? Queen Arcane, prince Arcane. Come on. I think it would confuse even changelings."

"Not really, as usually it is the last name that is used after titles." Blitz says ass Azure climbs onto Twilight to see Blitz.

Twilight smiled as she looks down to the foal. "Would you like that? Arcane Force?" The newborn giggles as Twilight's nose tickled him. "Arcane Force it is. Say hello to your father little Arcane." She said holding him up to the screen as Arcane giggles.

Blitz smiles. "Now I have another reason to hope this war ends soon and with six of the twenty six warchiefs of the diamond dogs dead the end is coming into view." Blitz says.

Twilight giggles as Blazer comes into view. "Blazer here came along safely too. Still don't know mental state on him."

"Just take care of him best you can Twi." Blitz says smiling.

Twilight nods. "Sure thing Blitz. Just come back safe. For all of us." She said as all the young ones said something in their own language.

"Dad." Blazer said suddenly.

Blitz just smiles. "Make that three new reasons." Blitz says before looking at Blazer. "I can't replace your father, but I'll make a good enough father for you, okay?"

Blazer nods. "Sure thing, dad." He said smiling before Azure jumps off and lands on his back making them both laugh as Arcane giggles and reaches for them.

Blitz smiles again before turning his head to the door. "Sorry, I have to go. The captain I recently picked up wants to talk." Blitz says ending the call.

"Bye dad." Blazer said while Azure said something and Arcane tries his way.

Twilight sighs as she puts her hoof down and sees the changelings and Octavia. "Now we can talk to the princesses and my family. Now where did I leave that transportation dust?"

Octavia giggles as a changeling gives her a sack. "Here it is my queen. Shall I take the new prince off your hooves for a bit?" She asks.

"No, no, just let me write a few letters quickly." Twilight says grabbing a quill, ink, and a few scrolls with her magic.

They wait as she keeps writing on all the scrolls before sending them off. "Okay, now we just…"

"New foal!" Luna cheers as she teleported into the room.

"You're late." Twilight jokes.

Luna giggles as she looks over the new foal. "I was putting some stuff away. Mainly, my tablet. Now let's see the new foa…"

"Yes Luna, he is an alicorn. His name is Arcane Force." Twilight says.

Luna keeps staring at him as Arcane coos as he looks at her. "He's certainly a strange one, with these contrasting colors." She said noting his eyes and mane. "But…this is impossible. There can't be a male alicorn."

"Well what am I holding?" Twilight asks.

Luna frowns at her a bit. "You really have gotten more sarcastic than ever, have you?"

"A side effect from my husband." Twilight says smiling.

Luna smiled and shakes her head. "Oh Twilight." She said before looking back at Arcane. "Sister is going to have a fit when she sees him."

"I sent her a letter along with my brother and my parents. By the way Octavia, call the others." Twilight says.

Octavia nods and starts calling everyone up. Luna however was still looking Arcane over. "Can I…hold him?" She asks carefully.

"Just don't drop him or your death will be excruciating." Twilight says smiling as the changelings hisses a bit at Luna.

Luna giggles nervously as she takes Arcane. "You're a cute one. Yes, you will get many mares." She said as she messes with a tuft of mane on Arcane's head as he giggled.

Twilight smiles before she heard horns being blown outside. "I say Cadance and Shining have arrive." Twilight says.

Cadance suddenly slams open the door. "Where's the new foal?" She asks almost menacingly as Blazer and Azure whimper in fear as they backpedal a bit. "Oh, take it easy you two…wait." She said before looking at the two carefully. "Who are you?" She asks pointing at Blazer.

"Will explain later, but if you're looking for Arcane Force, Princess Luna is holding him." Octavia says.

Cadance suddenly runs over so quickly, she leaves a dust trail behind her. "So what do we got? Oh…" She cooed as she sees Arcane looking at her before giggling. "A unicorn. As I excepted. And such contrast." She said now playing with the tuft of mane on his head.

Luna giggles. "Actually, alicorn." She said showing the wings a bit. "He's going to get a lot of requests."

Cadance smiled. "I would except so. He'll be a mare killer. Right?" She asks Arcane before nuzzling his face and makes him laugh.

Twilight smiled as they played with him and looks him over before sighing. "Yes brother, he's an alicorn." She said as she felt the message sent by the other changelings.

Shining was just a little slacked jawed. "I just…well…also, what's a griffon doing here?" He asks trying to steer the conversation in another direction.

"We will explain later." Octavia says again.

Shining was trying to keep his speech going. "Well…um…"

"Do we have a new grandfoal?" Velvet asks peeking her head around a corner.

"Mom, dad, you are far earlier than expected." Twilight says surprised.

Velvet giggles as they come from around the corner. "We found a hotel nearby. They let us in easy." She said before looking around. "Now where's our new grandfoal?"

"Here he is. Arcane Force." Twilight says happily.

Velvet cheers a bit before going over to Luna and Cadance as they show the foal. "Aw, he's beautiful. He's definitely going to be getting lots of mares."

"Yes dad, he is an alicorn." Twilight says.

Night chuckles. "Nah, just happy you got your own foal now. Congratulations sweetie. It feels like just yesterday, you were asking us that you could only check out five books when you wanted ten from the library. 'I could only have five?'" He asks in his best impression of Twilight's voice.

"Yeah, time flies." Twilight says happy that the changelings transformed to look like normal ponies when they heard the horns.

Night sighs as he looks to the other two in the room. "What's with the griffon?"

"Is everypony going to ask that?" Octavia asks annoyed.

Night frowns a bit at her. "It's just because we know Blitz didn't marry a griffon, so there's no way it could be his. So what's with the little one?"

"He was sent back to us by Blitz to look after, that is all we will say right now." Octavia says.

Night held a straight face before leaning down to the griffon. "You will be good, right?" He asks in a tone that made Shining freeze up.

"Grandfather?" Blazer asks.

Night tilts his head before smiling. "Yep, unless you have family of your own, do you?"

Blazer freezes up and Octavia walks over and whispers. "His parents were butchered in front of him by Diamond Dogs."

Night frowns before looking at Blazer who was staring blankly before hitting him over the head, shaking him out of the blank expression. "Wake up boy. That's the past and you won't escape it, but you can move past it, fight through it. Would your parents want you to dwell on them like this? Not moving on and living your life?" He asks in a fatherly tone as they all look at them now.

"Tell the others in private, ok?" Octavia whispers.

Night nods as Blazer just stared at him. "Come on kid. Let's get something to eat and we can talk there."

"You go tell the cook to ready a meal and include food for a griffon." Twilight instructs.

Night nods and leads Blazer out. "Come on kid. You'll learn a lot now you're here." He said before they left.

Luna sighs and gives Arcane back to Twilight. "Where's the others?"

"Either doing their jobs or living their lives. They will come when able." Twilight says.

Cadance smiled. "Well you have a wonderful family now. Congrats Twilight."

"Yes and you are taking my son is an alicorn better than Luna." Twilight says.

Cadance giggles. "Well, there is something on my family that might explain this, but let me think for a bit."

"Ok." Twilight says nuzzling Arcane.

Velvet giggles as she sat by her. "You will never forget us, will you?" She asks as Azure come up and sat on her lap.

Twilight smiled. "Of course not, you're my parents."

Cadance gasps. "I got it. The reason why you have a son, possibly by the way, is that alicorns can be born stallions too, it is just that none have been before now. It just goes to show an alicorn parent having an alicorn baby is like any other pony." Cadence says.

Twilight smiled as she looks down to Arcane and nuzzles him while Velvet pets Azure's mane. "Guess you're right. Never expected him to be male though. Maybe because there isn't much of us."

"Oh just wait until my sister gets here. This will rock her world." Luna says. "Is that right?"

Twilight smiled. "Yes, that's how you say it and this will definitely change how we view the world. Though I may need to make a long term schedule."

"On how to spend time with your husband?" Luna asks smirking.

Twilight giggles. "No, for little Arcane here. I got to start planning things. Right?" She asks nuzzling him.

Blitz leans against the railing as he waits for Silver to return from the meeting with Lightning is next to him. "So what do you think we got next?" Lightning asks after a while.

"Wait for the commander to return." Blitz says.

Lightning sighs. "I meant with whatever they got planned. What's possibly next?"

"We will see what happens next, then we shall see." Blitz says.

Lightning sighs and leans in a bit close. "Think the kid is alright?"

"He's fine. Knowing Twi, she is already planning on his education and yes, I mean Blazer and Arcane." Blitz says.

Lightning chuckles. "Yeah, that would be her. Would it be normal if she made a timetable based on which grade they are in?"

"It would be strange and I would think it was an imposter if she didn't." Blitz jokes.

Lightning laughs. "Yeah, if she didn't make any list, I'm afraid of it being a changeling body double."

'That would really disappointing when you two go to bed together.' Blitz sends smirking.

Lightning sighs and looks to the view again. "When do you think this will be over?"

"You never know." Blitz says.

Lightning nods. "Yeah, guess you're right. Still…do you ever wish for it to end, like sooner?"

"Wishing it won't end it faster. You have to take action for that." Blitz says.

Lightning sighs. "I still wish it could happen."

'Getting impatient?' Blitz sends.

'Tired.' She sends back.

'Just bear with it, you are not the only one.' Blitz sends.

'You too?' She sends.

'Yeah.' Blitz sends.

Lightning steps a bit closer. "What do you want to do when this is over? Head home?"

"Like a shot." Blitz says.

Lightning smiled. "Good, we need you, you know that."

'As I need you all.' Blitz sends.

Lightning sighs. "Oh well, now where's, oh, there he is." She said turning around and seeing Silver come over to them.

"Get the men prepped." Blitz says.

Silver nods as Lightning walks off. "Yeah, the plan is to," Silver says before whispering to him.

Blitz looks to him carefully. "Really, that's the plan?"

Silver nods. "Yeah, you think you're ready?"

"I think we can manage." Blitz says smirking as he eyes the canons of the ship.

Silver smirks. "Now, how about a little pirate chase?"

"Leave it to me. Take the Sureshot with you, three ships are what is needed for this stage of the operation." Blitz says.

Silver nods. "You better get ready and call your friend. I'll get my men ready." He said before walking off.

Blitz sighs before looking to Lightning. "Surge, get our team ready."

After a while, Blitz tries to hold himself in, but let's out a chuckle once in a while. "Why can't I contain myself?"

Lightning smirks. "Because you get to unleash Tartarus on these dogs."

Blitz chuckles some more. "Oh yeah. Wonder how his end is going?"

"You sure we got their attention?!" A griffon beside Silver yells as they quickly rush back.

Silver hangs on as the griffon falls down from a cannonball hitting them. "Want to go back there and check?!" Silver yells back as he kept his eyes on the sky ahead and the incoming pass.

"Alright men, full speed ahead." Blitz says.

Silver growls a bit as he looks around and sees the pass coming up until he notices something. "Cross, can you tell everyone to hang onto something, maybe a rope or rail?!"

"All hands brace!" Blitz yells.

Silver yells to the nearby griffon before he took off and a few more griffons went after him and Silver quickly turns the wheel and everyone felt the ship turning in a circle while still flying ahead. "Now this is how you fly an airship!" Silver cheers as they enter the pass and the griffons on the side try to keep it steady.

The dogs just looked dumbfounded. "Did you see that?"

"Did you see how he turned the ship?"

"Fire broadside!" Blitz yells.

The dogs quickly look to their side and sees multiple airships just waiting before they fire their cannons and hit the dog's ship and destroyed some of their master and rudder too. "Artillery, go!" Blitz yells again as the airship was trying to stay upside down and he hangs onto the rope.

Cannon fire was heard from around a hill and some smoke came out before whistling was heard and a larger cannonball hits the ships and sends one down. "Now take them out!" Blitz yells as the airship finally files up and rights itself and everyone sighs in relief.

The ships on the sides throws some grappling hooks and pulls the ruined dog ships closer to them before boarding and then connecting the dog ships themselves. "Let's head back." Blitz said to which Silver nods and steers them back to the fight and as soon as they get close enough they jump ship and board. "Where are you?" Blitz asks himself, trying to find the chief. Blitz stopped when he saw a dog in better clothes signifying he was the warlord. The only problem was he was missing half his body.

"Ah shit. There goes that chief." Blitz said before a dizzy dog lands beside him. "Hey buddy, where's your other chief?"

The dog doesn't answer as he falls over dead with a bullet hole through his chest. "Our guys are getting better." Blitz says.

Lightning yells as she grabs a dog's paw and pushes him to the rail and then kicks him overboard with a knee to the jaw. "Think we can have the ghost team when this war is over?"

Blitz elbows a dog's stomach and makes him kneel over before kicking him over the rail. "Doubt it, but maybe we would get a few of the strongest they can give." Blitz said as he sends. 'What, you take a liking to a few of the females?'

Lightning fumes a bit before jumping up and kicking a dog in the cheek and sends him off. 'No, just that more griffons might help Blazer.'

'I know, just teasing you love.' Blitz sends breaking one's back.

Lightning scoffs and jumps on one's back and twists its neck. 'Don't mess with me like that.' She sends jumping off the dog as it fell.

'Ok, I'll save that joke for you with Spitfire or Rainbow.' Blitz sends decapitating three with his claws.

Lightning shakes her head before jumping on a spear heading for her and kicks the dog in the face before jumping off and takes the spear and stabs him with it. "How much long will this go on and where's the other chief? He should be out by now."

"I don't think he is here. We got one out of the eight that were confirmed." Blitz says flipping the dog over the railing.

Lightning groans. "Dang it." She said before holding a hoof up to the spear headed for her and the dog stops before she pulls the spear away and slaps him across the face with the wooden end before turning it around and stabs him in the neck and pushes him off the side. "Okay, I'm bored."

"We are done." Blitz says as they finished clearing the deck.

Lightning huffs. "Good, I was getting tired." She said sitting down as some of the dogs were captured and tied up. "So what, we just take the ships and infiltrate their base?"

"No, we abandon ship as the ship has lost altitude control in favor of our own." Blitz says.

Lightning looks a bit worried. "So we leave now?"

"Yes, more me than you because you have wings." Blitz says.

Lightning looks around. "So I can go?" Blitz says nothing but Lightning could feel his stare on her. "Right." She said before taking off and heads to their small camp nearby.

Blitz sighs as he leisurely gets onto his airship before the enemy airship loses all attitude control and plummets towards the ground. After a while of interrogation, Silver finally gets the reports and sees that they only revealed some of their camps, half of which are already dealt with. "Dang it, at this rate, we'll never get this done."

"You're telling me, but what should be our next step?" Blitz asks as he sat beside him and looks over the paperwork.

Silver scratches his head. "No idea as of now, maybe trying to find these leftover camps, but they could be done with ease at this point, don't even need us. There is the chance new orders will come in from the kingdom, but that's a long ways away. You got anything?"

"So with this, we have punched a hole in the offensive line of the Dogs." Blitz says.

Silver nods. "Yeah, big enough to drive a ship through. Just need a clear target and we can't do that without scouting. Don't even have that yet with the patrols and watchers on the high mountains. We need a break on this or an assault on some areas and gain control too."

"Not to mention when they hear another warchief is dead, they are going to come barreling at us. So when were you going to tell us we were bait?" Blitz asks.

Silver smirks. "Never my boy, never."

"First, I should be the one saying that to you and second, you're going to have to take responsibility for this and command this till the end." Blitz says flatly.

Silver sighs. "I know, I know. We just need a solid lead first."

"To the front you." Blitz says.

Silver groans a bit before the tent flap was moved. "Excuse me, I was told I can Silver Claw here." A voice said and they look over to see a black garbed griffon.

"Ah, ninja ranger." Blitz mused looking at the captain.

The captain huffs and shows some papers. "Here, another camp and chief gone." He said throwing them down on the table. "I'll be going now. You're welcome, by the way."

"He got away, didn't he?" Blitz asks making him stop.

The captain looks back at him. "Unfortunately. His location is in there. Where he'll be. Now then, I shall take my leave."

"He evaded our trap as well. This one is not like the other warchiefs." Blitz says making the captain stop again.

The captain sighs. "Look, I don't have a lot of time. I need to finish my job. You can handle it however you want."

"Find the spy in our camp." Blitz says causing him to freeze.

The captain stares at him. "Spy huh? I can't though."

"You will as a Knight Major, I have the authority to order you to do it and do not test me on this." Blitz says.

The captain huffs. "I'm not even part of your squad."

"But you are still lower rank and don't think I won't suit you for insubordination right now." Blitz says threat carrying weight.

The captain glares a bit at him. "I told you, not even a part. I'm on my own. You just got this for me."

"I kill for less reasons of insubordination in my clan." Blitz says drawing a blaster, showing he was serious.

The griffon laughs as he starts walking away. "That's ironic. For me, you know. I was supposed to die. Guess you get that chance instead of an executioner, but not now."

"You don't get a choice." Blitz says shooting him with a stun bolt.

"Bas…" He tried to say as he fell down. "You don't even know me." He grunts.

"And I don't give a fuck. We are fighting a war here a bloody war here and we all either work together to get out alive or go cowboy like you and chase after our own personal vendettas and get people killed. Yes, I am calling you out on that. So unless you shape up and start thinking about more than your obsession then get out of here and never show your face in this country again." Blitz says sternly.

The griffon huffs before actually getting up and seals up the tent flap and takes off his mask. "Idiot commander and actually now a smart brother. Not bad." Silver's brother said.

"It seems he won't help then." Blitz says holstering his blaster.

The griffon scoffs. "Of course I won't. I was just looking for any camps to take care of. I just happen to meet you. Then I realized who you were actually working for. I gave you what you wanted and I got mine. You want him, you got a week and I can get you a path through it, just need two days." He offered.

"Do what you will, some of us have work to do that will save lives." Blitz says walking away.

"For just a town or the many to come?" He asks.

Blitz doesn't answer and disappears.

"He's looking for the source brother and you know it. I can lead you in and strike a crippling blow that will give you time. Two days to set up, five camps, five days, each one harder than the last, but well worth it in the end. It's your choice, because I'm going that way anyway. I have to."

"You are obsessed." Silver says bluntly.

He huffs. "Right, I am. I am because I'm marked for death anyway. Might as well die a hero's death and take as many of them with me. Maybe ending warchief's, by the way, I got three down, you can mark that. I want to at least give my dead men a proper revenge or I'm dying for nothing by going back and ending up on the chopping block."

"My men are not moving. If we move, then the dogs have a clear path into our territory." Silver says sternly.

The griffon smirks. "Yes, they do. Then I guess I can have fun taking them down instead. I could just have easily pass them up and head to whoever started this and end him and when I got him down, I take down as many as they come for me. I can at least give my men that. You however are stuck on defense and watching a pass. You could have just stuck some large boulders in place and lifted it up by airships, you know that right?"

"You haven't changed. You are just as egotistical and self-absorbed as when you murdered that servant for your amusement. This isn't about your men or a good end, this is for your ego and glory." Silver says.

The griffon glares. "I'm dead anyway. Don't you remember? Marked for death the minute I left my post. This isn't about those last two. I want to make it up to my men and show them I can at least be a good commander and what they wanted to do. If it's for glory, I'm not marked for death. If it's for ego, then I would hot headed and rushing in. Both of those are not my endgame. My endgame is getting what my men deserves, an honorable death with the head of the dog who burned them."

"So he is gone now?" Blitz asks the obviously upset Silver.

Silver huffs. "Yep, on his own wild crusade. Thinks he can get revenge for his men and just take down as many as he can get."

"If we are lucky he will at least distract the dogs for a bit. I was serious when I said we have a spy in our camp somewhere as the warchief evaded us twice. Once would be lucky, twice someone has told him ahead of time." Blitz says.

Silver sighs. "Then how do we deal with this problem?"

"That we need to think on a bit." Blitz says.

Silver groans. "Think he would be that easy to spot?"

"To tell the truth, our unit has expanded so much we can't know them all personally and the spy might not even be in our unit, but in one of the other two we are working with."

Silver nods and looks to see some griffons and ponies around a fire and talking. "Yes, the drawback of having a big unit, traitors can hide easily. Still, the only way we can catch them is if we make another move and see who goes away. It has to be one who has access to our plans and debriefings since we keep that small and then can head out easily, maybe being on portal on the border before we head out."

"It may even be one of the leaders of the other units." Blitz says.

Silver frowns. "And I hate for that to be a possibility."

"We can't necessarily rule it out can we?" Blitz asks.

Silver shakes his head. "No, but we can hope. Even though that's a low chance of there being any hope."

'Love, we got a traitor in camp, watch yourself.' Blitz sends.

Spike sighs as he watches the final preparations and repairs from a camera screen on his tablet in his room until he spotted something interesting as his door opened. "Oh, hey Slen…what are they doing here and how did you get them here?" Spike asks seeing the three fillies right behind her.

Slender giggles as the fillies enter and look around the room that had the walls littered with papers and scribbles. "Oh, just something I knew would work. As for how, well…" She said looking behind her and he sees a mandalorian soldier looking freaked. "She scares me." He said simply before walking away.

"You keep that up and someone will shoot you and maybe even kill you." Spike says.

Slender giggles. "Spikey, I'm doing this for you. I can't do it on my own. Besides, I won't die, not when you're still around. Believe it or not, you need me and those three now, more than ever." She said as the fillies were either now on the bed or looking over the scribbles that seemed like battle plans.

"Yeah, yeah." Spike says.

Slender seems to smirk as all three fillies sat on the bed and surrounded Spike as he wraps his tail around them. "Do you feel it Spike, that feeling you had when you originally took this plan?" She asks sitting behind them and curling around them.

"Yes." Spike says huffing a bit.

Slender leans in close. "And what was that?" She asks as the fillies leans against his tail or body. "Why did you originally take this training? Why do it when you could have just walked away and let someone more qualified to do this?"

Spike presses his lips together before looking to the three fillies who were smiling at him. "I took it so no one else had to. After what I went through, I don't want them to have the thought of having the idea of genocide over their heads if they have to. Also…I took it to protect you guys, so you don't have to experience the danger up close and personal, if it does come, then I want it to be watched far away and you guys away from it so you don't hurt. I want you girls safe." He said now petting Apple Bloom's mane. "Now what are you?" Spike asks trying to check this thing in the video.

They lean over and sees a robotic creature that resembled a dog and timberwolf with guns on its back on the freeze frame of the tablet. "What is that?" Scootaloo asks.

"That would be a command wolf. It is a part of our planetary forces and to an extent, a living machine." Mandalore says walking in.

All the fillies freeze up as Slender cover them partially with her tail. "And what are you doing here? The next test isn't until tomorrow." She said placing a hoof around Spike's shoulder.

"Because we traced someone hacking our security cameras." Mandalore says.

Slender somewhat glares at Spike. "I thought I told you to use multiple IP addresses."

"I did." Spike says.

Slender leans in a bit more. "Did you use another device than the one that has your name on it?"

"Yes and I re-routed it through multiple ships and then their bridges." Spike says.

The fillies look at him. "Did you block new IPs from coming in?" Sweetie Belle asks.

"I did that as well." Spike says.

"You used your account." Mandalore said. "For the initial start on the system. It was still logged in somewhere else, I think the Steam game program reminds you of something?"

Spike blushes and looks through the tablet and brings up Steam and sees it still has him logged in. "Oops."

"Yeah and since you like to travel around, you travel and make a delivery run with some other mandalorians as they go to the planet." Mandalore says to Slender.

Slender growls a bit before feeling a claw on her neck and sees Spike smiling. "It's okay, you'll be back. Besides, I got company to keep me in check anyway, right?" He asks the fillies next to him.

"You want to come see them before we send them?" Mandalore asks.

Slender sighs and nods. "Okay, just give me a night before we leave."

"No, because I had to deal with three mares yelling at me for what you pulled." Mandalore says.

Slender snickers. "How much of your hearing did you lose?"

"None, I muted them, but turned on the subtitles. Now go." Mandalore says.

Slender shakes her head before looking at Spike. "See ya Spikey." She said nuzzling him before getting up and heading out. "Oh, make sure you watch him for those breaks." She called to the fillies.

"I kinda want to see these semi sentient machines." Spike says.

Mandalore smiled. "Then come with me." He said walking away with the rest of them following. "Don't worry, we're placing in something else into the system that you may like soon enough."

Spike looks up at him. "And what's that?"

Mandalore smirks. "Personal command of something that needs to control and don't worry, we'll make the controls compatible for your end. Something you're used to." He said as they enter an elevator and head down. "What you're about to see may change the battlefield when we need it." He said before they went down to the cargo bay and they all see large animal mechs with heavy guns on its backs or sides. "Say hello to our zoids. A century ago, we unearth them in a dig of a planet that had all the inhabitants died off." Mandalore says.

"Whoa." Spike said as the elevator stops and they all start walking down the dock area for all the zoids which seemed to have slightly every time they look away from one and the one not being watched moved slightly. "Are they…alive?"

"Yes, in a sense." Mandalore says.

Scootaloo goes over to the wolf like one and the zoid looks down at her, almost trying to figure her out. "Cool, how smart are they?"

Mandalore nods to an operator for an explanation. "They possess some intelligence, but mostly act like animals and stay away from the geno saurer. No one on board can control that thing and we don't need a hole in the hull."

Spike raises an eyebrow. "And where is that one?"

"That one, the dark purple and red one." The engineer says.

Spike sighs and walks over to it as it stares at him and lights up its eyes as he approached and stared up at it. "Huh, almost like a dragon. Arrogant, possibly stubborn too." He said making it growl at him. "Yet, proud and wants to live." Spike said raising an eyebrow as it stop growling and leans down a bit more. "Lays content, wants to do something when needed and only what it deems necessary. Right?" Spike asks learning forward.

The Geno Saurer growls and shoots its claw near Spike. Spike just stared hard and stood still at the Geno as the claw almost hit him as the fillies gasp and runs to him before the claw suddenly pulls back as Spike stared hard. "You understand things, many things that sometimes others would try to even grasp a piece. That's why you lead, you lead because you want others to learn, don't you?"

The Geno Saurer growls again as it cocks the gun on its head. "Yes, you would fire. Just to end this useless tirade. But I'm not leaving until I get a clear answer." Spike said as the fillies stand right behind him. "Why fight? Why do it at all, because someone is there controlling you or rather because you want to, want to make something different that help in what you know is a fight that can change even without you?"

"They can't speak and usually only their pilots can understand them." The engineer says.

Spike chuckles a bit. "I don't need it to speak." He said as he sees the eyes glow a bit redder. "I just want to see."

The Geno Saurer growls before shooting it's claw again and aims for the one behind Spike a little more to the side than normal and Spike quickly moves Scootaloo out of the way and pushes on the claw into the ground before stabbing his tail into the ground as the electricity arcs through it before it stops. "Don't even think about touching them." Spike said lowly before letting it retract the claw.

The Geno Saurer growls as it aims its head cannon and leans down almost to their level. "Go ahead, but hurt them and you're in trouble." Spike said making the fillies stand behind him completely.

Seconds passed and then the Geno Saurer seems to laugh. "Come on, get in the transport. Blitzkrieg is waiting on you." The engineer says causing the Geno Saurer to seemingly huff and get in with the rest of the zoids.

Spike eyes the zoids as they get in and the Geno Saurer looks to him with a toothy grin. "Knew it, it's different than the rest." Spike said after the door closed.

Apple Bloom looks to him. "You're crazy."

"I'm surprise he isn't a stain on the wall." The engineer says.

Spike sighs. "That thing was more reactive than the rest. The others were curious and just looked. That one was more understanding, wanting to just see how others are reacting instead of being a reactor."

"And more of a warrior than the others, look at this." The engineer says showing him his pad. Spike takes a look and sees a lot of data. "This is the combat motivation of all the zoids. As you see all the zoids combat motivation ranges from twenty to four, the Geno Saurer though is eighty." The engineer says.

Spike raises an eyebrow before messing with his omnitool and holds it over the datapad before he gives it back to the engineer and spreads his arms outward and actually shows the data in the air in front of him in many screens of data. "Huh. I can only guess who would be a match for that thing. Luckily, he's my brother in law." Spike said grabbing the data screen out of midair and lets the fillies look at the others. "That thing must be like a new kid to him, well, grown up teenage kid."

"I have heard that Blitz considered him his third member of his team when he went on his own." The engineer says.

Spike chuckles. "Yeah, that's Blitz. Go on one mission, bring back ten things that would change anyone. I should know since he married Twilight."

"Actually, he was assign it when he was forced to use it to defend a base and annihilated the enemy with its main gun." The engineer says.

Spike looks over the weapons. "Huh, yeah, with his attitude on things and how he plans things to go, he would conquer anything. Just see the statements." Spike said grabbing another out of the air and compares it by putting them side to side and makes the similar and differences become highlighted.

"Ah…" The engineer says.

"He did that literally, didn't he?" Spike asks. The engineer nods and Spike sighs. "As expected. Is there anything he can't…wait…?"

"After conquering, he collected his money for his job and just left also the Geno Saurer was just too powerful the galactic powers nearly outlawed it." The engineer says.

Spike smiled. "Yeah, that's him too. He really hates parties and can I get a video of some of that?"

"We will send the video to your room." Mandalore says.

Spike nods before turning everything off. "So, final test tomorrow?"

"No, your final test date has yet to be decided. But it will be a space battle simulation." Mandalore says.

Spike huffs. "And just who is my enemy?"

"We are thinking space pirates right now." Mandalore says before walking away.

Spike raises an eyebrow. "Pirates huh? This might be fun. Come on girls." He said walking away and looking up the information on them as Slender enters the ship.

"So what do you think?" Blitz asks as he pets Lightning.

Lightning purrs a bit. "About what?" She asks learning into his petting.

"About the spy?" Blitz says smiling at Lightning as she laid her head in his lap.

Lightning purrs like a cat now. "Well…oh that's good, maybe we should try Silver's idea. We could only, geez that's nice, get them in the act at this point."

"I agree with his idea, but how to do it with the other units. After all, we can't even rule out their commanding officers." Blitz says.

Lightning nuzzles his leg. "Yeah, we can't so let's do it like normal and watch those who has access first and if that doesn't work and the same thing happens, then we check lower."

"I was thinking that our unit acts alone, then we start going to the other two if we get nothing." Blitz says before kissing the back of her ear.

Lightning keeps nuzzling him and twitches her ear onto his nose. "Yeah, whatever you want."

"So what do you think of your newest step foal, Arcane?" Blitz asks pulling up his picture.

Lightning smiled and looks to it while turning over onto her back. "Cute and we have a long way to go. After all, you're going to have more soon."

"Next is Rainbow." Blitz says.

Lightning giggles. "Wonder how she's taking to not flying soon?" Blitz smiles and shows her pacing around very restlessly. Lightning laughs. "Oh that's good. Though the way she's going, it may be helpful for the little one. Movement is good, like Pinkie jumping is a good thing."

"That might be you next as well." Blitz says smirking.

Lightning smiled. "As long as you're there, I'm happy enough. After all, I got a suit to help me fly when needed if I have too."

"I can still out fly all of you though." Blitz teases.

Lightning smirks and looks to him. "You are a unicorn, not a pegasus. You can't fly us like normal though."

"Not under my own power, but I can still out fly you." Blitz says.

Lightning raises an eyebrow and waves her hoof to make him get closer.

"Yes?" Blitz asks smirking and leans over.

"You have armor and just a horn." She said before slapping him. "Think big boy." She said now putting a hoof on his chest and trials it down.

"You don't know everything about me love. Maybe one day you will see how I fly." Blitz says smirking.

Lightning smirks and finally reaches the bottom. "I'll believe that when I get one in the air."

"You might not have to wait long." Blitz says in a sober voice really getting her attention.

Lightning looks carefully at him. "Are you okay?"

"I think I know who is behind the distribution of weapons to the dogs." Blitz says.

Lightning gets up a bit. "Who?"

"Space pirates." Blitz says.

Lightning now sits on his lap. "Really and what are you going to do?"

"I have called in a few favors. We can't beat them with just my clan. We need a fleet." Blitz says.

Lightning pushes him into the couch as she leans on him. "Really, Mandalore piloting that?"

"I have earned a lot of respect in the clans over the years and I had to call in most of my favors for this." Blitz says.

Lightning just a held a small smile. "Yes, but whose piloting? You are not since you are here."

"The one who will be the admiral for the space battle has yet to be chosen to my knowledge. But I have had no contact from off planet for quite a while so not to give away anything to the space pirates." Blitz says.

Lightning smiled. "Really now, well then, are you going to tell the others, just in case we have to get out? Because I would imagine you would tell us to either take cover underground or get out on a ship to the nearest system with a military fleet nearby."

"I have already made arrangements in case of such an emergency with my clan and Twilight's changelings." Blitz says.

Lightning tilts her head. "You made a deal with the changelings?"

Blitz smirks and puts on some sunglasses. "I'm the mother bucking king."

"Give me those." Lightning says annoyed.

Blitz chuckles as he leans out of her reach. "Uh ah, you have to work for it." He teases.

Lightning smirks as she knocks them off with her wing.

Blitz frowns. "Now that's no fair." He said using his magic to put them out of her reach.

"Now who is being unf…someone is coming." Lightning says when her ears perk up.

Lightning and Blitz quickly get into their armor and puts on their helmets when the door to their quarters open. "Excuse me, but Is Knight Major Southern Cross here?" A young griffon in knight armor asks.

Blitz looks to him carefully. "Who wants to know?"

"Sir, I am Squire Whirlwind. I was assigned to you as my mentor." The young griffon says saluting.

"It seems they were more than rumors Surge." Blitz says.

Lightning huffs. "Which one?" She asks eyeing the griffon carefully.

"The one about the king making me a noble." Blitz says.

Lightning scoffs before turning back to the griffon. "And what are you planning to learn?"

"What the squire is supposed to learn from a knight Surge. We will continue playing later." Blitz says.

Lightning huffs once. "Sure, just message me next time." 'If you really prep me soon of course.'

'I didn't know about this and you want to go all the way then?' Blitz sends.

'No, just prep. Nothing else. Beside, you got some schooling to do.' She sends back.

"Whirlwind, stow your gear somewhere and rest up for a bit. You have a long journey." Blitz instructs.

Whirlwind nods and heads to his tent. Lightning sighs and turns back to Blitz. "I should go check things out. I'll be back soon."

"Scout out past our outlining watchtowers while you are at it." Blitz says.

Lightning nods and goes over to him before looking around and then takes off his helmet before taking off hers. "I'll see you later." She said kissing his cheek before putting her helmet back on and heading out.

Blitz chuckles as he puts his on and heads out. "I have the best family." He said to himself as he sees Silver come out of his quarters in a messed up uniform as he rubs his head. "Had fun?"

"She can't keep her claws off of me." Silver says.

"So did you know I just received a Squire?" Blitz asks.

Silver sighs. "Unfortunately. You okay with it?" He asks looking to him and learning on the rails of his ship while Blitz does the same. "Having to be a teacher to a recruit?"

"It's fine and since he just arrive, he isn't a suspect." Blitz says.

Silver nods. "Yeah, that makes since. Still, the question of getting them. Now what are you going to do in the mean time?"

"How about we try and raid one of their supply bases near us which just our unit? If something happens, then we know the spy is in our unit if not, we turn our gaze to the other two." Blitz says.

Silver thinks for a few. "Yes, that would work, but you got anything for the other two? A roll around with some crazy orders that not even the real ones can follow? See who would get out first to tell them all?"

"We can't watch all three at once, we have to do this unit by unit if we want to catch this spy." Blitz says.

Silver groans. "That would be tough because at this point we have around twelve units in the area and it would devastate us when we have to go set up strings for each one. We need another plan, now have you got…oh shoot."

"They only knew our plans to ambush so that narrows it down to the three." Blitz says.

Silver frowns. "Might want to shut up now." He said before turning around and grabs the talon that was on his back. "Yes Wind?" He asks the smirking griffon.

Wind giggles. "Trying to figure out where my bed warmer went. Now, would you come back? There's still time before morning."

"Ah knight captain, I need to ask you and inform you of a few things. Think you can spare a few minutes?" Blitz asks.

Wind smiled. "Sure. When?"

"Now would be good." Blitz says.

Wind sighs. "Silver, would you wait in our room for a bit?"

"Yes ma'am." Silver says walking away.

Wind smirks as he walks back in and she turns to Blitz with a frown. "Now what is it?"

"Follow me, this is something that must remain private." Blitz says walking a bit away.

Wind nods and walks with him. "So what's this about?" She asks after a while of walking to the edge.

"Well, all signs of the last part of the operation points to us having a spy in one of the three units." Blitz says.

Wind raises an eyebrow. "So do you have an idea?"

"No, we can't rule out any even many in our own because it has grown so much lately. As such, we will be launching something soon with our unit alone to see if something happens." Blitz says.

Wind sighs. "So you have nothing planned to take care of this?"

"We have to narrow it down before we can take an action." Blitz says.

Wind stops and turns to him. "And how far have you narrowed it down?"

"We haven't had a chance to start yet. That is the true purpose behind the raid that we will do in three days. If nothing happens, we will gain more guns and ammo for them and we will be able to take off our unit as where the spy is. If not, then we really have it narrowed down." Blitz says.

Wind tilts her head. "Why tell me this personally? Usually you would hold off on that until the time it comes. Just telling me the style and time of attack, nothing else."

"Because you are one of the few who are cleared from your time with us." Blitz says.

Wind crosses her arms. "And by that you mean my time Silver, right?" She asks with a slight frown.

"No, I mean your time commanding the unit with us and I will need your help." Blitz says.

Wind sighs. "When?"

"Just keep a close eye on our unit and take note of every infracture on the regulations." Blitz says.

Wind nods. "Anything else?"

"Yes, we have someone new to the unit. I have been assigned a Squire to teach. His name is Whirlwind." Blitz says.

Wind raises an eyebrow. "You, a teacher?"

"Yes, so don't give the kid too hard of a time as he is exempt as he just arrived this night." Blitz says.

Wind sighs and holds a talon to her head. "Alright, just don't show everything. After all, most are learned by experience."

"He isn't my first student." Blitz says.

Wind huffs and heads back. "Of course he isn't."

"That is all I needed to discuss with you." Blitz says.

Wind nods. "I'll see you in the morning." She said getting back on the ship and heading inside. "Silver?" She asks with a slight growl.

"And that is the plan." Blitz says to the ghosts' officers.

They all nod. "Okay, so what about unexpected ears?" One asks.

"That is Whirlwind, my new Squire." Blitz says.

They nod and walk off. After a while, Whirlwind finally comes out from around the corner. "Um…sorry sir."

"No need, you are right where you should be." Blitz says continuing to look at the map.

"Sir?" Whirlwind asks

"You are my Squire, you must watch and learn." Blitz says.

Whirlwind just stares at him. "So what now? I mean, what do I do?"

"You will wait here with me and train. Now which would you rather be, black or white?" Blitz asks bringing out game pieces.

Whirlwind just stares. "Um, I thought we were training?"

"We are training the mind, after all, how can you lead without knowing how?" Blitz says.

Whirlwind tilts his head. "I guess that's true." He said sitting down. "Black."

"Then let's begin." Blitz says as he started to set his pieces up.

Soon after, Lightning came back and finds them on their last few pieces. "Hey, who's winning?"

"He has yet to penetrate my second line of defense. So how did the raid go?" Blitz asks.

Lightning shrugs as she sits down near them. "It went well. We got most of the things that were there. Weapons, like this." She said placing a metal rifle on the table. "They're advancing. The armor is too. It's more like dragon scales at this point."

"Then we have hit an elite tribe. Tell Commander Silver and Knight Captain the news." Blitz says.

Lightning nods and gets up and leave. "Um…sir? What are these?" He asks picking up the rifle.

Blitz quickly takes it from him and pulls the cocking mechanism and takes the magazine out before taking out the bullet in the chamber and giving it to him. "It's a rifle, more advance than the watchers have. Learning how to wield on will come later."

"Yes sir." Whirlwind says getting back to the game.

Blitz sighs as he sees him place one piece out of the way. "You're done." He said getting up and taking the rifle away.

"But…" Whirlwind say.

"You left your right flank complete exposed, my pieces can easily rush in through it and take your king." Blitz says.

Whirlwind looks to the pieces and moves Blitz's pieces to his and sees that each move takes over all of his pieces and leaves his king wide open in the end. "Whoops."

"You must now learn from this." Blitz says.

Whirlwind sighs. "Yes sir."

"Next, meet me in the center of camp in the training field we have set up. It is time for your lesson in combat." Blitz says.

Whirlwind nods and gets up before heading there. "Yes sir."

After putting the rifle in a chest in his tent, Blitz grabs a sword and heads to the training ground. When he reaches there he sees Whirlwind trying to find the right placement for his talon on the sword.

"Try a swing." Blitz said grabbing a sword from one of the ghosts giving him one.

Whirlwind tries to and actually sends it flying into a tree where a griffon moves his head out of the way. "Try a bit more inward." The griffon said trying to take it out.

"I see, I have to actually try." Blitz says putting his sword into its sheath and keeps holding the hilt.

Whirlwind looks a bit worried. "Um…dang it." He said trying to properly hold his sword.

"Mistake." Blitz says and the next thing Whirlwind knew, the wooden sword was against his throw.

"Crap." Whirlwind said.

"Pay up." A griffon said and another grumbles and gives him some coins. "Told you he wouldn't survive one second."

"I didn't even see him move." A ranger says.

"Again." Blitz orders.

Whirlwind frowns a bit before knocking Blitz's sword away and feels it on his neck. "Again." Blitz said before they engaged in sparing with Blitz blocking or evading all of Whirlwind's moves while holding the wooden sword in one hoof. "Geez, what else you got? I'm sure you read something, comics or something that gave you ideas for some moves." Blitz asks after a while.

Whirlwind didn't stop attacking and trying to hold him back. "I don't really, ow, read." He said when Blitz hits him over the head.

"Keep up your guard, don't let your opponent distract you." Blitz instructs.

Whirlwind seems to be getting madder before he uses a rope and sends it whipping toward Blitz and he ducks under it. "What was that?" He asks still blocking.

Whirlwind raises an eyebrow before pulling the other way and Blitz jumps and dodges the box that headed past where he was and Blitz landed a bit later. "Nice try. Good, but needs work. Now that is enough, for now get your bumps and bruises looked at." Blitz says tossing the wooden sword to one of the watching soldiers.

Whirlwind groans as he tries to move. "Ow." He said to himself as some of the griffons chuckle at his trouble. "Try again next time kid." One said.

"You have ability, but they send you to me to train and refine you." Blitz says before walking away.

Whirlwind looks at him as he tries to keep heading to his tent.

Blitz sighs as he heads back into his room and hears a beep from his communicator. "Cross here." He answered.

"Blitzy, are you going to keep doing that?" Twilight asks as Blazer looked at the package that just came in.

"Well yes, as it is how I answer in the field." Blitz says.

Twilight sighs and tries to keep her eyes open a little. "When are you going to get our kind of communicators instead of that old one?"

"When this one stops working properly. So has Arcane been tiring you out?" Blitz asks.

Twilight groans as some of the changelings behind her try to keep Arcane happy with a toy. "Unfortunately, have you sent anything over from over there, to Blazer?"

"I pulled a favor and had a friend in the nobility over here send a few toys, but mostly we are still stuck here on the Belmat Pains slugging it out with the dogs. It also seems we have a few elites amongst the enemy." Blitz says.

Twilight nods as Blazer finally opens the long box. "Did they send a very long package also?"

Blitz leans forward. "Long package?"

Twilight shows him what's Blazer is opening. "That." She said as Blazer moves the package filler away.

Blazer finally stops and takes out a long sword that looked like a katana style curved blade with white wrappings and gold hilt. "Um…dad." Blazer said now reaching into the package and taking out another one withe same blade style, but with black wrappings and a red hilt. "Where did you get these?"

Blitz just stares. "I didn't have anything made for you. That I'm sure of."

Twilight waves Blazer over and brings the swords over to her and sits down with her. "For some reason, they look familiar." He said taking the black one and pulls the blade to find it not shiny or reflective, but all black. "That's…new." He said before taking the other one and finds it reflective like a regular sword.

"Letter?" Blitz asks.

Blazer gets up and looks through the box before finding an envelope. "Here. Huh, this is my uncle or rather my dad's fighting buddy." He said opening it and finds a long letter. "Um…mom?" He asks embarrassed.

Twilight giggles and takes it before looking it over. "It's legal stuff. In accordance with…huh…these were your father's swords, or rather the ones he had made for you. That was nice of him. There is also some stuff about assets and some accounts and businesses."

"I will look into it later when I get back." Blitz says.

Blazer picks up the swords again. "So…what do I do with these?"

"I will teach you how to wield them when I get back." Blitz says.

Blazer tilts his head before taking a sword and leaves it inside before holding it like he has seen and frowns before turning it backward and bends it against his back while looking ready to swipe. "Better." He said smirking. "Do you have this way?"

Twilight sighs and looks back to Blitz. "Do you?" She asks as the changelings give Arcane back to her.

"The reverse grip. Far harder to fight with." Blitz says.

Blazer sighs as he tries to move around with the sword against him. "Maybe, so it might be a good idea to teach me a few regular moves just in case."

Blitz nods. "I'll see to that once I'm back. You keep being good for your moms, okay?"

"Okay dad." Blazer says.

Blitz smirks. "And maybe I'll throw in a few extra things I only know if you're really good. Twi make sure you count if he's bad."

"Yeah, yeah, now say hi to your dad Arcane." Twilight says holding him up.

Arcane giggles and waves with both forelegs.

"Hey there Arcane." Blitz says smiling.

Arcane coos at him.

"So tell me Twi, has Celestia met our son yet?" Blitz asks.

Twilight shakes her head. "No, it's probably because Luna is still here and they are holding a grudge."

"Celestia is becoming too power hungry love at this rate how long until we have to remove her to protect ourselves and children?" Blitz asks seriously.

Twilight shrugs. "Maybe Luna can help. Maybe she needs to head back."

"Love, is that Twilight, Celestia's number one student talking or is that Twilight, mother of Arcane talking?" Blitz asks.

Twilight presses her lips together as she thinks about. "I…" She sighs. "She needs to head back. This grudge has gone on long enough. Sisters need to love each other very much, because…" She looks down at Arcane smiling at her. "They're family. And family always stick together."

"And that means letting your sister torture your troops and servants?" Blitz asks striking something deep in Twilight as she looks at her son.

"You really think she's still Nightmare?" Twilight asks.

"Not her love, Celestia did that to the Shadowbolts including Shadow herself." Blitz says.

Twilight frowns. "So you hate her then?"

"Twi, if I hated her she would be dead most likely." Blitz says.

Twilight still frowned. "So what, what do you feel?"

"Anger and suspicion and you are avoiding my question, are you Twilight, Celestia's student or Twilight, mother of Arcane and queen of the changelings?" Blitz asks.

Twilight clicks her tongue. "I'm both. There will be a time I will leave her, but she will always be my teacher."

"And if she tries anything against our son?" Blitz asks fully serious.

Twilight held a thin line on her face. "She pays for it. No one harms my family. Not even my teacher." She said now hiding her face with her mane.

'Twilight, I never got to say this before, but…congratulations.' Chrysalis said.

"Then we are of the same mind. If she make such a move, I will dethrone her if not kill her for it." Blitz says.

Twilight tries to breathe before setting Arcane down. "Guys, get them out of here." She said to the changelings who quickly grabbed Arcane and Blazer and his swords before heading out. "Blitz, why do you want to kill them as a chance?"

"I don't, but if she tries, I will not let her have a second attempt." Blitz says fully serious.

Twilight didn't move. "Blitz…"

"Would you not do the same?" Blitz asks.

Twilight looks at him through her bangs. "I make sure they live and have a second chance to change, if not, then all bets are off."

"That is why I said dethrone her first, but if she forces my hoof, I won't hesitate and if her vassal rebels or attempt the same, I will show them how one who conquered an entire planet fights." Blitz says.

Twilight looks completely down again. "Blitz…"

"I love you all that much, I am willing to do anything for you." Blitz says his words were sincere in Twilight's ear.

Blitz watches as he sees a tear fall down her face. "Blitz, I sometimes hate it."

"I know, but that is what being a parent is all about, protecting and doing what is best for the children." Blitz says.

Twilight sniffs. "Promise you'll come back soon."

"I will love and we will be a family." Blitz says.

Twilight smiled and finally looks at him will glazed over eyes. "I love you."

"I love you too, my teacher and my love." Blitz says.

Twilight wipes her eyes. "Teacher? Still?" She chokes a little.

"When have you ever stopped teaching me magic?" Blitz asks jokingly.

Twilight smiled and giggles a bit. "Maybe our next spell will be one for us in bed." She suggested.

"Didn't we already have that lesson?" Blitz jokes.

Twilight grins. "Not this one. This one will be bigger." She said with a sultry look.

"With or without the blindfold you love so much?" Blitz asks.

Twilight tries to hold her giggles. "How about with that suit too? Me and the others are feeling frisky."

"Alright, will do love." Blitz says.

Twilight sighs before looking at him normally. "Thanks for coming into my life."

"No, thank you." Blitz says removing his helmet so she can see him smile.

Twilight sniffs a bit more and rubs her eyes. "I really want you back. Everyone here misses you, I miss you."

"Same here, but duty calls." Blitz says.

Twilight sniffs. "Please if not for your wives, at least for you kids."

"I'm trying love. If we can win this, we might be able to lure out the one ruling all of the dogs. Also, ask your changelings to tell you about contingent alpha minor." Blitz says.

Twilight raises an eyebrow. "Alpha what now?"

"Gotta go. Bye love." Blitz said before ending the call. He sighs and leans back in his chair. "Oh boy. I need music." He said to himself before getting some foreign music in his ears. "Don't know what it means, but the beat is always good."

Lightning smiled as she walks in. "Hey there sexy."

"Hey love. Twilight just called and we discussed the future including Celestia." Blitz says soberly.

Lightning looked a little worried. "You okay?"

"We discussed have to either dethrone or kill Celestia if it comes to it." Blitz says.

Lightning sighs. "One of these days your plans will go out the window."

"It's not a plan, but a precaution." Blitz says.

"You're precautions suck." Lightning said. "Safe, but suck when it comes to it."

"Oh you do complain about my plans I lead to you and me in bed." Blitz says smirking.

Lightning just throws a pillow at him. "Shut up."

"Ha." Blitz says smiling while hugging her.

Lightning smiled as she nuzzles him. "Love ya."

"Same here. So got an opinion on the kid yet?" Blitz says leading her to his bed.

Lightning raises an eyebrow. "What kid?"

"The squire." Blitz says as she lays her head in his lap.

Lightning shrugs. "Eh, kid needs work and the real thing."

"And?" Blitz asks starting to pet her.

Lightning purrs. "He does have potential."

"And you my lightning storm?" Blitz asks.

Lightning looks to him. "Lightning storm?"

"Yes, because you leave a storm in your wake." Blitz says as he continues to pet her.

Lightning giggles. "I do, don't I? But what about me?"

"You, we can wait a while longer." Blitz says as his other hoof pets her flank.

Lightning wiggles her flank a bit. "Yeah, we can. I don't want to do it when there's a possible battle coming up."

"You say that, but your body says something different." Blitz whispers into her ear.

Lightning hits his chest. "Cut that out. I really don't want to."

"I know, but you crave it. That is why I had you beat a few of the soldiers around when we started so they would know better than to try it with you." Blitz whispers into her ear.

Lightning groans. "Please don't make me."

"I'm not." Blitz says adjusting himself so she can snuggle into him.

Lightning sighs in relief. "Good because I really don't want to do it at a time like this. I want to do it when we're on our own and ourselves, just us." She said nuzzling his chest.

"And Twilight says we have to." Blitz whispers the rest into her ear.

Lightning frowns. "I don't think so. My body, my choice."

"Oh, you best take that up with the Queen of Changelings." Blitz says jokingly.

Lightning smiled. "Yeah, right. She would take my side."

"When she said that, is that what we have to do?" Blitz asks.

Lightning frowns. "You want to call her and find out?"

"No, I want to keep petting you." Blitz says.

Lightning smirks. "Now then." She said before kissing him. "You'll get it soon, just not now." She said giving another kiss.

"I can wait, but can you?" Blitz asks stroking her competitive nature.

Lightning hisses a bit. "Don't test me. Besides, I don't want to do it here. I want to do it at home. Where I know I belong."

"Oh shall we see if one of us doesn't break under the desire." Blitz says smirking.

Lightning frowns. "Don't do this."

"What, not up for the challenge?" Blitz asks smirking.

Lightning growls a bit and looks away. "Shut up."

"Tell you what, whoever wins, gets to make one request from the loser within reason and if neither of us give in, we act like this never happened." Blitz says.

Lightning smirks. "Deal. How do you lose, make this grow?" She asks stroking a lower part of him.

"No, if one of us admits they can't take it any longer and the use of seductive methods to do so is cheating and you automatically lose unless both agree to it." Blitz says before kissing her.

Lightning pushes him back. "Sorry, not happening." She said getting off of him and heading to the couch.

Blitz smirks. "Ah, what's wrong, hate little old me?"

Lightning huffs and lays down on the couch. "No, just the stallion that dick is attached too."

Blitz holds a hoof to his heart. "Oh, you wound me Dusty."

He just receives a pillow to the head. "Shut up."

"Love you too." Blitz says happy that the silencing spell used to keep the planning secret was up.

Lightning huffs and lays her head down. "So, what do we got coming up next?"

"Well now we try and narrow it down some more." Blitz says lying next to her as she wraps a wing around him.

Lightning sighs. "So what other plans to send out for our little spy?"

"I have an idea." Blitz says smirking.

"I can't believe that actually worked." Silver says.

"Yeah, to tell the truth, that plan was a diversion for the real plan, but we caught him and all we had to do was circulate a fake report of a bomb being planned in the leader of the dog's camp." Blitz says.

Silver sighs. "At least we got him now."

"Yeah, we've also given him a blindfold for his execution on the colonel Talon's orders." Blitz says.

Silver frowns. "I really hate this part." He said walking away.

"Cover your ears." Blitz says as gun shots are soon heard.

Silver lowers his talons from his head. "I really wish we didn't have traitors."

"There will always be traitors." Blitz says.

Silver looks to him. "You had any in your line of work?"

"Two came to off me on my wedding day." Blitz says.

Silver hisses. "Ouch, how did that fair out?"

"Had to beat one to near death while getting ready. The other, let's just say the guests from the mandalorian clans went hunting." Blitz says.

Silver smiled. "Now I wish my wedding isn't like that."

"I doubt it will." Surge says smiling under her helmet.

Silver grins. "I meant not like that. Like yours specifically."

"Ah, you mean a nice ceremony followed by a party and hunting of a large dangerous predator?" Blitz asks.

Silver frowns. "Very funny."

"That wasn't a joke." Lightning says.

Silver raises an eyebrow as they head off. "I'm really starting to question you guys."

"Custom of the clans." Blitz says.

Silver shakes his head. "Oh boy. I have a feeling his ideals will lead to something."

"Kaysh ne'waadas at katkavida laam." Blitz says.

Lightning nods. "Yeah, he does."

"What did he say?" Silver asks confused.

"He's speaking in the tongue of the clans." Lightning says

Silver groans. "I sometimes hate these guys." He said to himself.

"So the plan still going ahead?" Lightning asks.

Silver nods. "Yes, we are actually surprised that he was able to leave that big gaping hole in their defenses. Another defense squad is coming here to take our place and the general wants us to move in. We are getting reports of the camps beyond the line still in trouble and being repaired. So we strike and take them out. After that, the front line closes in and takes the heat off of us."

"So we are being sent to attack with the other two then." Blitz says.

Silver nods. "He wants us to take it out and bore a hole for the advance team to attack."

"So we are the vanguard this time." Blitz says.

Silver shrugs. "I figure a nice change of pace would do some good."

"Surge, go ahead of us and get all of them start to gear up." Blitz orders.

Silver smiled. "Make sure they dress dark. We got a dark and stormy night coming."

"Time to bring the fire." Blitz says disappearing.

Lightning grins. "Great, I'll wear the thin version armor I got." She said before flying off with a smirk.

It was pitch black that night as so, dogs were on watch.

"Wait." Blitz said holding a hoof up as they pressed themselves against the wall as the dog walks past overhead.

"You hear something?" A dog asks.

The other looks around and perks his ears up before hearing nothing, but the rain. "Nah, come on. They got fresh meat at the camp." He said walking away with the other.

Blitz takes a mirror from a griffon's pocket before using it to peek up and sees the torch lights going away. "We're clear." He said giving it back and vaulting himself over the cliff face.

The griffons and ponies follow. After that, Blitz did a few gesture and they all nod before fanning out. They soon spread out in a spread out line as they all move towards the camp and see the lights coming up. "Stop." Blitz said stopping behind a broken dead tree.

He looks ahead and sees some dogs standing at the edge and just looking outward as some dogs came up to them and gave them something before heading back. "Synchronized takedowns." He said moving slowly up to the dog as the others move to theirs.

Once they reach the dog by staying in the grass and bushes, Blitz takes a look around and tries to stop the others dogs before getting up and grabbing the dog and cover his mouth before cutting his throat and drags him down into the bush as the other griffons does the same to theirs.

"Start planting them." Blitz instructs.

The griffons start to move around and hide behind the cargo as they put the bombs into the explosives and gunpowder. While Blitz moves carefully towards the main tent and finds one dog there just napping on the table. He raises an eyebrow before placing a bomb under the table behind some boxes and looks at the table and grabs a few things before heading out back to the hill and meets up with Silver looking through a modified telescope Blitz made to let him see in the dark. "Not bad. All of them are set." Silver said still watching.

"Alright, withdraw, time for me to start the distraction." Blitz says.

Silver clears his throat before cawing once and soon more griffons came over and Blitz disappears. Silver looks through the telescope and watches the whole camp before he sees the entire camp engulfed in flames and the dogs panicking. "Not bad."

"You thought you could hide from me do you?!" Blitz yells in the fire at a more agile looking warchief. The dog roars and charges at him right through the line of flames and misses when Blitz jumps up and he goes right into more cargo boxes. "I've seen better dogs." Blitz taunts as the dog tries rolling around trying to put out the fire.

The dog soon puts it out with a small puddle and gets up and feels himself grip by the throat with magic and propel towards Blitz and is skewered onto an outstretched claw.

Blitz huffs as he throws the dog off the claws and soon walks away and heads back to the hill. "That's that." He said giving some papers to Silver. "Here's the latest troop movements and we have finally killed the dog that has been giving us trouble for months. He is not like the others, he was smaller and obviously smarter." Blitz says.

Silver huffs. "At least we got him. That's good news."

"Yeah, also check the fifth paper." Blitz says.

Silver moves the papers around. "Really, this one is causing all the trouble?"

"We got his location." Blitz says.

Silver sighs. "Yes, but we don't have orders to hit him. Ours is to get rid of these camps and hold the line."

"Send the map to the generals in command here. More specifically, your father and see what happens." Blitz says.

Silver just looks over the papers. "More than likely he will send a strike team to get rid of him."

"Not possible, as according to the latest ghost recon, three tribes in the way for that." Blitz says.

Silver looks to him. "Then how about we clear the way for them?"

"Simple, we challenge him directly by committing forces to face him there." Blitz says.

Silver smiled. "You really know how to mess with the mind, don't you?"

"Nope, I just know how to fight a war." Blitz says.

Silver sighs and looks to the camp still burning. "What do you want to do while we wait and get to our next spot?"

"We got two more to do before daybreak to meet our quota, so move." Blitz says.

Silver says nothing and follows everyone as they head to the next camp.

Blitz walks into his tent to find Lightning playing the board game with Whirlwind. "I have news you two." Blitz says.

They look to him. "What is it?" Whirlwind asks trying to stealthily move a piece.

"We killed the warchief that has been evading us and giving us quite a bit of trouble and we found their leader." Blitz says.

Lightning looks a bit surprised and slaps Whirlwind's talon, making him let go of the piece. "That's good. Are we getting him?"

"There are three tribes in the way and he directly controls three more if the papers we took from the dog are to be believed. We will have to wait and bide our time until orders come down." Blitz says.

Whirlwind hisses as he rubs his talon. "Great, more waiting and getting my tail feathers kicked to pieces." He said as Lightning moves her final piece and heads off. "And that's another feather lost."

"War, young squire, is not all about going into battle. There are many factors and a lot of the time we will be waiting." Blitz says.

Whirlwind frowns a little. "I know. It's just I hate getting my feathers pulled." He said before seeing something leaning against the table. "Isn't this hers?" He asks picking up the blaster rifle.

"Yes, that is her blaster rifle." Blitz says sitting down and starts looking over the maps.

Whirlwind aims to the roof and tries to aim carefully while keeping the fingers away from the trigger. "Huh, very different than the rifles out there. A little bit lightweight, but that's all I can tell without firing it."

"Please don't, I would rather not have to repair the tent." Blitz says.

Whirlwind sighs and puts it down against the table again. "What I wouldn't give to try a shot."

"Stick with us and you will get your chance soon enough." Blitz says.

Whirlwind hums. "Yeah, with you guys, it gets crazy."

"Not that you have much of a choice, being his squire." Lightning says.

Whirlwind smiled a bit. "Maybe I'll stick with being in the griffon army."

"I am a knight major in the army squire." Blitz reminds.

Whirlwind looks to him. "I meant with sticking with the army here, not that I mean your own army isn't that bad."

"She means you don't have a choice once the war is over. I'm heading to see my family and you being my squire must accompany me." Blitz says.

Whirlwind groans slightly. "There are some parts I hate."

"Oh Cross, we just received a letter. They couldn't find any relatives to little Blazer." Lightning says.

Blitz sighs. "Well, that's that. Now I have to tell him he's staying with me."

"Well at least he has a family now." Lightning says.

Blitz nods and leans back in his seat. "Yeah, just hope he isn't causing too much trouble. After all, I did promise."

"Blazer?" Whirlwind asks.

Blitz waves him off. "My adopted son. Got him from a town after dogs razed it and killed his parents. Had Surge here take him to my family back home. Now, he's going to be my son."

"I see." Whirlwind says, his interest peaked.

Blitz smirks. "If I know him up to this point, he's probably training with those weapons that he somehow inherited. Still need to go over the assets." He said as an afterthought.

"That's enough for now. Whirlwind, I have to discuss something with Cross before he heads to sleep. I will continue your martial training soon." Lightning says.

Whirlwind sighs and gets up before stepping out.

Blitz sighs. "We might be going home sooner than expected." Blitz says walking over to the bed.

Lightning smiled as she zips up the tent and gets out of her armor. "Yeah, you happy to head back?"

"Ecstatic, if we either kill or force the dog overlord to surrender." Blitz says laying down after removing his armor.

Lightning giggles and lays down on him. "Yeah, I wish we can get back faster so…you know." She said tracing a hoof on his chest.

"I know and you also want to play with the foals don't you?" Blitz asks.

Lightning smiled. "Yeah, can't wait to really meet them."

"Stepmother Lightning Dust." Blitz teases.

Lightning smirks. "And you are daddy to all."

"Yes, I am, with another on its way." Blitz says.

Lightning smiled. "Pinkie and Rainbow, right?"

"No, just Rainbow. Pinkie has shown no signs of it…has she?" Blitz asks.

Lightning sighs. "You haven't been checking on everypony. It's best you do."

"Well I have been quite busy." Blitz says.

Lightning pokes his chest. "Call."

Blitz sighs and starts calling. "Fine."

Twilight giggles as Arcane played around with a ball as Blazer read the general books on the area while Azure was playing with the ball with Arcane. "They are so good together, aren't they?" Octavia asks as she sat with Twilight.

Twilight nods. "Yep, just wish Blazer can play around a bit too, but he's still learning about this place. So it works in one way."

Blazer looks up at his name was heard and just sees his moms laughing a bit before going back to his book. "So this is the new kid. I was hoping for something different." A voice said behind him to which he yelps and smacks the book closed before swinging it behind him. "OW!"

Everyone looks over and sees Discord holding his head and a penguin on his back laughing at him. "Discord, what are you doing here?" Twilight asks getting off the couch.

Discord groans a bit. "When I heard you had another little foal, I had to see the little one. But I didn't expect you to give birth to a griffon." He said snapping his claws and making a magnifying glass appear. "Who's your mummy?" He asks to Blazer as he looks him over.

"Mom?" Blazer asks a bit afraid of the funny made dragon.

Twilight frowns before shooting a spell ball at Discord and makes him fly into a wall and sends Sombra onto the ground with a squawk. Blazer just looks at Sombra who squawks at him before Blazer picks him up and hugs him. "Aw, too cute." He said snuggling Sombra.

Discord groans as loud angry squawking was heard from the room as some changelings surrounded him. "Let him go. The only thing he's a danger of is himself." Twilight said walking up to him.

Discord huffs as he dusts himself off. "Why Twilight, that's a terrible thing to say. I would have hoped that dear Fluttershy would have at least been taking care of the foals since you only care about making names."

Twilight raises an eyebrow as the changelings withdraw. "Nope and it's Flutterbat, not Fluttershy for now. Pet, come here!" Twilight calls out.

Discord looks confused until he sees Fluttershy looking like a bat walking in. "Yes mistress?" She asks clearly and not shyly while wearing a collar.

Twilight smiled. "Get us some food and snacks."

Fluttershy nods. "Yes mistress." She said before hurrying to the kitchen.

Discord just scratches his head. "Alright, why is she calling you mistress?"

Twilight smirks and heads back to the couch. "Simple, my husband kind of owns her. She likes to be as a pet. So, he ordered her to listen to me as the master, so to speak."

Discord flies on over to her. "So she listens to everything you say, right?"

Twilight nods as Fluttershy comes back with a tray of tea and cookies. "Your tea and cookies mistress." She said bending down slightly.

Twilight smiled and takes some while Octavia does as well while Discord just takes a bit confused still. "Good." Twilight said before taking bite and spitting it out. "Pet! This is not cooked enough." Twilight said showing the eaten cookie.

Fluttershy whimpers a bit. "I'm sorry mistr…ah!" She yelped as she was pulled by the collar.

Twilight glares at her before hitting her in the face once before throwing her to the ground. "Get it right pet or it'll be worse next time." Twilight said leaning back and throwing the tea and cookies at her.

Fluttershy whimpers a bit more as she was covered in the crumbs and tea. "Yes mistress." She said hurrying off the kitchen.

Discord just had his mouth open. "Okay, what happen to the old Twilight?"

Twilight smiled. "Relax, I didn't really hurt her. I premade a spell on her that when used on a part of the body, it will cause the pain receptors to activate. That was actually a tap on the face and she likes being hurt. She wants to play with us today so I obliged. Don't worry, she's still the same Fluttershy you know and love. Just…I really don't know how to place that." Twilight said thinking on it.

Discord looks a bit worried. "So…I don't have to worry about her being covered in bruises and casts, right?"

Octavia dips her cookies in her tea. "Nope, she will be fine. You can ask her anything and it will be like this scenario isn't even happening."

Discord raises an eyebrow as Fluttershy comes back with a new tray. "Your remade food and drink mistress."

Twilight takes them and tries a bit before smirking. "Very good, you got off lucky."

Fluttershy nods and smiles to Discord. "Hello Discord, how are you?" She asks now being like her usual self.

Discord tilts his head. "Um…fine. Are you okay with this?"

Fluttershy nods. "Yep. Don't worry, it's consensual."

Discord nods while Twilight smiled. "Now that's out of the way, why is Sombra still a penguin?" She asks pointing to Blazer still snuggling Sombra.

Discord sputters a bit. "How did you know that?"

Twilight taps her head. "Chrysalis. I became queen when she was dying. Now I control most, if not all, of the changelings in Equestria. Still, her spirit is still inside me and giving me guidance of being queen and sometimes eases my loneliness when Blitz is not around. Now, Sombra?" She asks pointing to the penguin now running from Arcane and Azure with Blazer now, squawking as he ran as far as his little flippers will take him.

Discord takes out a pair of glasses and wears a suit with a tie. "Well, if you must know, I find it hilarious that he is a penguin." Discord says smirking.

"WANK!" A loud squawk yells was heard as a book hits Discord in the head and they look to see Sombra waving a flipper angrily before running off from the young ones.

"Hilarious." Discord says smirking.

Twilight shakes her head. "What are we going to do with you Discord?"

"Well I know you be answering that call." Discord says.

Twilight clicks her tongue before thinking. "What call?"

Suddenly she hears her omnitool ringing and hears Fluttershy's ringing in the hallway.

Twilight answers and sees Blitz there. "Blitz? Is something wrong?" She asks as Fluttershy comes back and sits down on the couch before joining.

"One moment, waiting for the others to pick up." Blitz says.

Soon Rarity, Applejack, who seems to be resting against a tree, Pinkie and Rainbow joined the call too. "So what's this about?" Twilight asks as Vinyl, Shadow, Spitfire and Fleetfoot joined afterward.

"Come on Daring, pick up." Blitz says.

A yawn was heard as a black screen shows up before they see a light come on and sees Daring in bed and rubbing her eyes. "What is it girls?" She asks tried.

"I didn't know I was so feminine love." Blitz jokes.

Daring groans and glares slightly at him. "What is it?"

"I got some news girls. We have located the overlord of the dogs over here. Which means I might be coming home soon." Blitz says.

All the girls then smile. "Really?!" Pinkie asks as they see the background moving up and down.

"By the way Pinkie, Lightning hinted at you being pregnant?" Blitz asks.

Pinkie giggles. "Yeah, my tummy is getting bigger. I got a foal, a little baby foal in me and it's happy with how I'm hopping."

"And you Pinkamena?" Blitz asks.

They all watch as the background stops moving and Pinkie's mane flatten out and she lost her happy smile. "Idiot, you knocked me up."

"You know you love it." Blitz says smiling.

Pinkamina suddenly brings out a knife right in front of the camera. "I will be going to be very happy to see you again. Because you are going to pay, idiot, pay a lot."

"I'm looking forward to it. Want me to bring anything girls?" Blitz asks.

Soon a chorus of requests came spewing from all of them, asking different things from jewelry, trinkets from the gift shop and for some reason, a large bowl of candy and sweets. "Alright, alright, I'll see what I can do." Blitz said, trying to quiet them down. "Just send me a list in an email and Pinkamena, I've acquired a bottle of vintage wine last time I was in the capital."

The knife was put away as she clicks her tongue. "Tempting, but you have to do better."

"Oh I got other things, but I will leave them a surprise and Minerva, you could join in instead of eavesdropping." Blitz says.

Gigging was then heard as Minerva came on. "Hey cutie. Great to see you again. So, how long exactly?"

"That depends on the generals. I also hear the prince of the griffons is overseeing this front. Also girls, we may be getting a new summer home." Blitz says.

All of them start talking. "Summer home?" Twilight asks as Arcane, Azure and Blazer come up to join their mothers.

"Well it seems the griffon king really values my service, as such he is most likely going to grant me a title and fief." Blitz says.

Applejack just tilts her head. "A what now?"

"Land darling." Rarity says.

Applejack leans forward. "So basically, you got a regular home over there?"

"Maybe or maybe a castle." Blitz says unsure himself.

Twilight giggles a bit. "You already got a castle, now you want another?"

"I'm just saying possibilities. I don't know for sure what land they will give, but I do know the king plans on it as I have been assigned a squire and only nobility or those who have served for most of their lives get those so you do the math." Blitz says.

Rarity looks a bit surprised. "You got a squire?"

"Yes, a young griffon named Whirlwind." Blitz says.

Rarity smirks. "Is he cute?"

"Rarity, you are married." Daring reminds.

Rarity giggles. "I know, just wondering, because sometimes cuteness factors into smartness." All of them give her a look. "Blueblood." She said noticing the stares.

"And?" Rainbow asks.

Rarity sighs. "Sometimes a male's smartness are based on how bad they look. Like jocks in school."

"And?" Pinkamena asks.

Rarity sighs. "Yes, I'm married. I'm just wondering since he's working under Blitzy and if he isn't smart enough, it will be high on trouble for Blitzy to deal with."

"He is learning, oh and Rarity, I got something for you as well. Found it amongst a dog camp we raided." Blitz says holding up a sapphire encrusted necklace.

Rarity gasps. "Oh my, that's beautiful. Please come home sooner."

"I will send it ahead with Minerva." Blitz says smiling.

Rarity giggles. "I want you to put it on me."

"Alright, so Vinyl you beat Azure yet?" Blitz asks.

Vinyl huffs. "Please, of course I did." She said proudly.

"She still can't catch him." Octavia says.

Vinyl hisses at her. "Quiet thrall!"

Blitz laughs. "Don't worry love, you will get him soon enough. You just need to watch his left forehoof, he favors that when he is about to pull something sneaky." Blitz says.

Vinyl hisses at them. "Watch out little Azure, your mommy Vinyl is coming." Azure just laughs and outstretched his hooves at her. Vinyl giggles and hisses some more. "Want to spend time with your mommy vampire?"

"I think that is a yes Vinyl." Blitz says.

Vinyl grins with a toothy grin as Azure giggles at her. "So what we doing in the mean time?"

Twilight moves the camera around her. "Guess who else is here?" She asks showing Discord and Sombra being held by Fluttershy.

"Ah Chaos and the adorable mascot of dark magic." Blitz says.

"WANK! WANK!" Sombra yells at him.

Discord chuckles. "Ah, love that idea. Him being my mascot." He said before a book hits him in the face.

"If not, you could always introduce him to a hungry seal." Blitz jokes.

"Wank?" Sombra asks, hiding a bit before jumping off and stares up at Discord. "Wank." He said.

Discord sighs. "Fine. Just for this moment." He said before snapping his claws and Sombra was covered in dark smoke and then dissipates as he was revealed in his regular self, but without armor and was actually bare naked.

"Finally. I was getting a bit tired from running around in flippers." Sombra said stretching himself.

"Discord, I will give you a glass of chocolate milk to turn him back into a penguin right now." Blitz says causing Discord's face to nearly split with a smile.

Sombra goes wide eye. "Wait, can't I at least speak?!"

"Um no, two glasses." Blitz says.

Sombra yelps a bit and goes behind Twilight. "Can't I at least speak to her?" He half yells while pointing to Twilight.

"What is her title?" Blitz asks.

Sombra frowns a little. "Queen Arcane. Those times being a penguin wasn't for nothing."

"You may speak. Take five Discord." Blitz says.

Sombra huffs as Discord brings out a big clock and it starts counting down to twelve from five minutes ago. Sombra frowns before looking to Twilight. "How is she?"

"She is at peace." Twilight says.

Sombra nods. "Yes, but how is she dealing with her new life in your head? I know about the magic flare and where it came from."

"She says she will eventually fade away." Twilight says.

Sombra sighs. "Guess she never got the chance. Oh well, at least I can still be here." He said before looking at Discord. "In a sense." He said before looking back to her. "You need anything from me, just ask, okay?" He asks while smiling.

"Well there is one thing." Twilight says.

Sombra frowns a little. "Penguin?"

"Arcane wants his little playmate back." Twilight says brushing the foal's mane.

Sombra stares at her before sighing. "Fine, but I want to at least be myself at times."

"That is fine, just not while Celestia visits which will be soon." Twilight says.

Sombra smiles a bit. "Though it will be funny once she realizes that you are friends with her arch enemy."

"We got enough to worry about her finding out Arcane is a male alicorn." Twilight says.

Sombra chuckles. "Please, you haven't even seen my life about them." He said looking more closely at Arcane before being turned back into a penguin and Arcane catches him as he sighs and crosses his flippers.

"Times up." Discord announced.

"Flutter, you mind paying Discord for me?" Blitz asks.

Fluttershy nods. "Yes master." She said before heading to the kitchen.

"So where is Lightning?" Spitfire asks.

"Oh, she over there." Blitz says showing them Lightning sleeping.

"Aw." Most of them said.

"She just got back from an 18 hour patrol." Blitz says.

"Ouch." They now said.

"So when is Celestia coming over?" Blitz asks.

"In about a week, right around when all of us are supposed to get together." Twilight says directing the latter half to the rest of the girls.

Pinkie cheers as her mane goes back to normal. "Can I host a party there? Like, Welcome back Blitzy and Lightning?"

"Not them, because we don't know when they will be back." Twilight says.

"Aww." Pinkie sadly said.

"We can plan a party together when we get back Pinkie." Blitz says.

"Aww, I want it to be a surprise." Pinkie whines.

"I got a few surprises for you." Blitz says smiling.

Pinkie presses her face against the screen. "What is it?" She asks excited.

"If I tell you, it wouldn't be a surprise would it?" Blitz asks.

Pinkie pouts. "Meanie."

"I'll tell you what, I have some chocolate onboard the Darkstar One along with the bottle of vintage wine." Blitz says.

Pinkie smiled and hugs herself. "Aww, you do care."

"Just don't do anything to risk your precious cargo, also since I am far away, now is a good time to inform Maud about your condition." Blitz says.

Pinkie giggles and moves aside. "Talking about her, look." She said before Maud's head appears in the doorway of her room. "Pinkie, you are out of rocks. I can't make the meal you wanted." She drones.

"Uhhhhhhh." Blitz says causing Maud to register him.

Maud steps up to the screen and sees Blitz. "Huh, so this is the husband you went with. At least he's good looking enough." She said before turning to Pinkie. "Where do you keep the extra rocks?"

"Rightmost cupboard and don't you have anything to say to him about this?" Pinkie asks.

Maud looks to him carefully. "I want him to be here, but I can tell you this, hurt my sister and you going to get the meaning of rock farming." She drones.

"Yeah, that might not be for a b…" Blitz was cut off by an explosion outside. "I'll be right back." Blitz says putting the communicator down and steps outside in full armor.

All the mares and foals and hatching was just staring at a wall. "What do you think is happening?" Twilight asks.

After a few minutes later, Blitz comes back. "Sorry, the dogs tried and plant bombs onto our defenses." Blitz says.

Rainbow leans closer. "You okay?"

"Yeah, just told them to tighten the perimeter and double the patrols. We should be good." Blitz says.

"So wait, is he in a war zone?" Maud asks.

Pinkie nods happily. "Yeah, he's a soldier and right now he's in the griffon kingdom fighting the dogs."

"He better not die and leave you a widow." Maud says.

Blitz chuckles. "Yeah, I won't. I don't leave family behind."

"Oh that reminds me, where is the trombone?" Pinkie asks.

Blitz just raises an eyebrow as Maud gives her the trombone and she plays it. "Okay, are the parasprites back?"

Pinkie shakes her head. "No, just this little one might like it." She said tapping her stomach.

"Ah." Blitz says.

Maud looks at him again. "Don't mess up with her or you're getting me."

"Maud, he is my husband, we both can't have him." Pinkie says.

After a few moments of silence Blitz says, "Not sure if that is a joke or not."

Maud just stares. "Don't mess up."

"Can I get an answer on that?" Blitz asks.

"He won't." Most of them said.

Blitz sighs. "So Blazer, you behaving?" Blitz asks.

Blazer nods. "Yes father."

"Good boy." Blitz says.

Twilight pushes his shoulder. "Blazer." She said simply.

"Yes mommy." Blazer says.

"So Daring, what are you up to?" Blitz says.

Daring groans. "Sleeping when you called. Come on man."

"You know what you meant love where are you as in Equestria, it is day time and here its five o'clock in the morn…do not tell me." Blitz says.

Daring feign innocence. "What?"

"Where are you?" Blitz says.

Daring smirks. "Onboard."

"Where?" Blitz asks.

Daring smiled. "Darkstar."

"Minerva." Blitz says looking at her.

Minerva whistled innocently.

"I will talk to you about this later." Blitz says.

Daring sighs. "Relax Blitzy. I'm not coming out much. Just to explore a bit and see the land when I'm cooped up too long and that's not during, before or after a battle. Besides, Minerva is keeping me busy from time to time."

Blitz frowns a bit. "That still doesn't excuse this ploy."

Daring smirks. "Blitzy, do I have to remind the last time we were in the griffon kingdom?"

"Do you want me to show them all the pictures of you in the griffon court?" Blitz asks making her pale.

"You wouldn't dare." Daring says.

"Wouldn't I?" Blitz ask

Daring huffs. "Well, don't send me back and I won't upload that photo of you when we went back in time. Maybe others would like it when you were dressed that way." She said smirking.

"Go right ahead." Blitz says still smirking.

They all watch as Blitz and Daring held a staring contest before Daring's line went dead. "Daring?" Rainbow asks.

Minerva giggles as they hear some loud cursing and things being thrown and broken in her background. "She's fine." She said before a table was actually thrown behind her head.

"Tell her, don't exert herself too much and look in cargo bay 2, box label F-74." Blitz says.

Minerva gets up. "Artifact?"

"Let's just say, I think she will like it." Blitz says smirking.

Minerva giggles before walking away and soon the cruising stops. "So, what attacks or anything you got left?" Twilight asks as Arcane crawls away.

"Twi, Arcane is crawling away with Sombra." Blitz says.

"My queen?" A changeling said as Twilight looks over and sees Arcane in a saddlebag carried by the changeling looking at her with a laugh and Sombra was eating some cookies he found in the bag.

"Oh come here, my little prince." Twilight says walking over and picking him up.

Arcane laughs as Sombra squawks at them and shows a cookie. "Oh come here Sombra." Fluttershy said picking him up.

"My queen, we need to do something about our numbers. Apparently, our own broodmares isn't enough." Another changeling said.

Twilight looks to him as she thought about that. "Let's see, how many broodmares do we have?"

"Only a few." The changeling said.

Twilight looks back to Pinkie. "Pinkie, can you make a few flyers?"

Pinkie leans in. "What about?"

Twilight smiled a little. "Write this, 'Volunteers wanted for being broodmares for the changelings. Will be able to let fantasies come true, with some restrictions.'"

Pinkie holds up a flyer. "Like this?" She asks showing an already made flyer with a pretty good picture of a changeling nuzzling a pony.

Twilight and the others looks a little surprised. "That's…pretty good."

Pinkie puts it down. "So?"

Twilight smiled. "Good, put it up all over Ponyville first."

Pinkie salutes. "Yes my queen."

Arcane giggles as he claps his hooves while Sombra raises an eyebrow as he feels Fluttershy nuzzling his head.

"See, that will be you soon Pinkamena." Blitz says as Pinkamena returns.

Pinkamena frowns a bit. "Tch. Maybe." She said looking away.

"What do you think Maud?" Blitz asks.

Maud just stares. "Maybe one day, just not now for she is still brewing up one."

"Yeah and yes Shadow, we will aim for you next." Blitz says.

Shadow smiled. "Thanks. I really need one after our time."

"We have been married for a little over a year now." Blitz says.

Shadow giggles. "And I like to really have that marriage with you and you alone for a bit. Think you could do that?"

"Ask the one holding Arcane." Blitz says.

Twilight giggles as Arcane laughs. "Just be sure to give her that suit she likes. I'm sure she appreciates it, many Blitzes, protecting her."

"Maybe another time. I want just my Blitzy." Shadow says.

Blitz smiled. "I'll be sure to have that suit ready. And…is that how you see it?"

Shadow sighs. "I don't see a line of royal guards, I see an army of Blitzes ready to protect me."

Blitz says nothing, not wanting to bring up what happened.

Shadow sighs and looks away from them a second. "Excuse me. I need to see something." She said before walking away and cutting her line.

"Spitfire, Fleetfoot, you mind?" Blitz asks.

They both nod and head off. "What's up with her?" Rainbow asks.

"I will explain it to you later." Twilight says.

Blitz just stayed silent as he looked away for a moment until he looks back. "She will be fine. Just give her time."

"And you…" Twilight says before they hear a, what most would assume, Rainbow fanmare scream.

They all look at Rainbow's who is looking at another screen.

"What?" Applejack asks.

"Wasn't me." Rainbow says.

"Then that means…ladies, prepare yourself for this." Blitz says smirking.

They all look around and finally see Minerva's screen and sees Daring bent over the lid of a box in the room. "Is this that artifact that was lost by our favorite underwater city?!" Daring asks.

"Maybe." Blitz says.

Daring takes out a gold statue and takes out another one that looks like a weapon on a stand. "This is awesome!" She said wiggling her legs while on the lid. Blitz says nothing as she keeps going fanmare on them.

Twilight shakes her head. "Oh boy. How long would this go on?" She asks as Daring wiggles even more.

"About five more minutes till she realizes the rest of you are watching." Blitz says.

They all shake their heads before they try to go back to themselves. "So, what are you going to do now? Just wait until the next order?" Octavia asks.

"Not much I can do before then." Blitz says.

Discord leans in. "And how's your commander doing?"

"He's taking charge out there. He's a far cry from five months ago when this started." Blitz says.

Discord smiled. "And did he get any offers of mates?"

"Not my place to talk about such things." Blitz says.

Discord chuckles. "Yeah, yeah."

After that, Blitz try to catch up with them and Daring joined in after she snapped out of her fanmare moment.

"I just feel something coming, just no idea what it is. Well I best go, it sounds like everything is calmed down outside far too soon. I will hopefully see all of you in person soon." Blitz said.

"Hope to see you soon." They all say in almost unison.

"Love you girls." Blitz says before disconnecting.

Later that night, after midnight, Blitz left a letter for Silver in his tent and left the camp. After a bit of walking, he rendezvous with the Darkstar One and came aboard. Blitz then stealthily snuck up behind Minerva and then wrapped her in a hug to her surprise. "Miss me?" He whispered into her ear.

Minerva smiles as she tries to turn around and gives a hug back. "Hey, I really missed being with you like this." She said nuzzling him. "Being able to feel. Though it is still nice to interface with the ship in a way that increases my processing power by a lot. I was able to upgrade the whole ship by two hundred percent."

"I see." Blitz says touching their noses together. "Remember to rest every once in a while. You are a cyborg now, not an android." Blitz says.

Minerva giggles and nuzzles him. "Yeah, yeah." She said while moving her hooves on him. "I love this feeling, being able to know you are there, for real."

"So Daring already asleep?" Blitz says wiggling his eyebrows at her.

Minerva nods. "Yeah, she's still tuckered out."

"Let's give her some company, ok?" Blitz asks.

Minerva smiled and pulled on his hoof and led him to Daring's room where they found her fast asleep in some messed up covers that were half off. "Aw, that's cute."

"You get the right side of me and Daring the left." Blitz whispers as they sneak into the room.

Minerva grins and moves to their places before they crawl into bed and Blitz warps his hoof around Daring.

Daring mumbles something before opening her eyes and sees Blitz holding her. She tries backing out, but is stopped by Minerva who holds her there.

Blitz smiles as he pets her mane. "Go back to sleep my love." Blitz whispers into her ear.

Daring calms down and moves closer to him before closing her eyes and putting her hooves on him. "Thanks for not being mad."

"I can't stay mad at you even if I get mad." Blitz whispers into her ear.

Daring twitches her ear at him. Blitz smiles as he lets himself fall asleep. In the morning, Daring yawns loudly as she gets up and head for the shower. She sighs after coming out drying her mane before she notices Blitz in the bed.

"What the…?" She asks herself.

"Up already love?" Blitz asks getting up.

Daring looks around for a bit. "Yeah, but…what are you…?" She tries to ask.

"I came here to spend some time with you." Blitz says walking over.

Daring blushes a bit. "You…did?"

"Yeah." Blitz says smiling as he wraps his hooves around her neck.

Daring presses her lips together as he starts to nuzzle her. "Um…"

"I can't stay too long love." Blitz says soberly.

Daring sadly sighs and nuzzles him back. "The girls are all worried about you Blitz."

"I know." Blitz says rubbing her back.

Daring sighs and looks at him. "At least check back once in a while. We can't do everything."

"Sorry, I'm just kept so busy with training the soldiers, planning and leading them, I barely have any free time at all and now with a Squire I will have less time, but hopefully the war will end soon." Blitz says.

Daring keeps nuzzling him. "Just don't hurt us by making us wait."

"I'm having to wait myself." Blitz says leaning into her.

Daring puts her head under his and nuzzles his neck. "Please, just try. We're really worried you would have injured so much you can't call or…"

"That is how it is when you are at war." Blitz says.

Daring stops her nuzzling and looks up at him. "Blitz?"

"Yes, my sexy professor?" Blitz asks.

Daring closes her eyes. "Can you…geez this is hard to say."

"We can't have intercourse right now if that is what you are asking." Blitz says.

Daring shakes her head. "No, Fluttershy suggested this." She said before getting out of his grip and heading to the table nearby and picks up a package. "She said that you would definitely come back and gives me a little hope for this." She said opening it and showing a purple collar. "Can't believe she knows my color too."

"That explains the red ring around your eyes." Blitz says.

Daring looks at him. "Red ring?"

"I'm going to have to talk to Fluttershy about putting subliminal messages into the rest of the mares' heads." Blitz says.

Daring smiled a little. "Guess so, but…" She said showing the collar. "Want to?"

"I can't love I will have to report back soon, but the least I can do is hold you and Minerva." Blitz says as they look over to see Minerva still sleeping as she drooled.

Daring giggles as she puts the package away. "She's cute."

"Not as cute as you." Blitz says before smacking Daring's flank.

Daring yips and jumps a little. "Blitz." She said accusingly.

"Yes?" Blitz asks pulling her close.

Daring huffs and shows the collar. "What do I do with this then if you don't want me to wear it?"

"Well we could save it for when we…" Blitz whispers the rest causing Daring to blush.

Daring looks at him as Blitz packs the collar away into the package. "Really?"

"Yeah and maybe you will be with foal afterwards." Blitz teased.

Daring blushes even redder as she pushes her hooves together. "Blitz?"

"Just think about it, you working on a new ancient secret when your little foal climbs into your lap to see what you are doing." Blitz says.

Daring suddenly lunges at him and kisses him before pulling away after a while. "I love you."

"I love you too and after this is all said and done, let's take it easy for a bit, what do you say?" Blitz asks.

Daring runs a hoof on his scarred chest. "I would like that."

"Maybe stay in your cabin for a while and build a white picket fence." Blitz joked.

Daring giggles. "Want me to get regular wood or treated?"

"Which ever you want." Blitz says.

Daring slowly moves her hoof up to his cheek and pulls him close. "Just us, right?"

"I can't let it just be us. Azure has only seen me in person once and Arcane hasn't even gotten that." Blitz says.

Daring sighs. "Alright, the others can come too. Maybe we can make it our vacation spot."

"And besides, more hooves to clean and watch them." Blitz jokes.

Daring giggles. "Yeah, we can't do it on our own. Especially since you now promise me. Now, you better head out there and finish the fight. Who knows what will happen without you."

"Don't worry, Lightning can handle it for a while and I like the view." Blitz says smirking.

Daring smirks and moves away before showing off a bit of herself. "Like it?"

"No, I love it." Blitz says.

Daring starts waving her tail. "How about a little dance?"

"Alright. You lead, as I'm not good enough to lead yet." Blitz says a little sheepishly getting up.

Daring pushes him back down. "I meant me dancing for you, you know, a little bachelor party style dancing. Come to think of it, you never had one."

"I'm a little classier besides you promised to teach me everything." Blitz says.

Daring sighs. "How much time do you have?"

"Maybe an hour or two." Blitz says leaning against her.

Daring smiled and leads him out to the living room. "Has Minerva every put in some classical dancing music?" She said while looking over the ship's music player.

"She is asleep, so let me." Blitz says messing with his communicator and classic music starts playing.

Daring suddenly grabs him and they stand on their hindlegs before Daring moves him along. "Box style dancing. Move to the next place on the fourth step and always the male leads." She said leading him along.

"Or female in this case." Blitz jokes as they start.

Daring giggles. "Yeah, just try not to step on the other's hoof."

"Lead the way my love." Blitz says.

Minerva yawns as she smacks her lips before feeling a bit wet around her mouth and feels around with her hoof before seeing her own drool. "Huh, so this is drool. Feels…weird." She said before wiping it off and heading out before stopping at the scene in front of her and finds both Blitz and Daring dancing around and it seems Blitz is leading. "Wow, who knew he was talented." Minerva says as Blitz trips over his own hooves and falls backwards with Daring following. "Never mind."

They both look at her as Daring looks at her while Blitz was looking to the side at Minerva. "Hey…um…this is awkward." Blitz said.

"Daring don't be so forward. I know you want him, but he has to get back to work." Minerva says jokingly.

Daring frowns at her. "Oh shut up android. You still don't know how to play with him." She said with a smirk.

"Cyborg Daring. She is a cyborg now." Blitz corrects.

Daring just sits up and moves up a little before covering him up with her flank. "Now then, you still don't know how to romance him and actually be with him. What can you do that we can't?" She asks, ignoring the stallion below her.

"I have spied on your session and found them very lack luster." Minerva says.

Daring frowns. "Tch, I bet you can't even really give him a good time. We probably could do it better than you ever could."

"Ladies." Blitz says loudly with authority after pushing Daring out of the way.

"Stay out of this!" They yelled before Daring gets up and walks over to Minerva. "I could really give him a good time!" Minerva yelled.

Daring laughs almost maniacally. "Really, you know it's not just about what you can do to him, it's what you make him feel other than just that."

"Girls, I have to get back to fighting a war soon. Can we please just spend some time together in peace?" Blitz asks.

The two glared at each other before huffing and turning away from each with their hooves crossed. "Fine." They said.

"Come here you two." Blitz says pulling them to him.

They groan before sighing and then looking to each other before huffing again and looking away from each other.

"Come on you two, onto the couch. You can fight once I head back." Blitz says. They grumble a bit before getting on the couch and keep looking away from each as Blitz sits between them. "Okay girls, now look at me." He said leaning back.

"Well you are something we like looking at." Daring said as they both look at him.

Blitz smirks. "Good, now kiss and make up. We can't have this feud in the family."

"I'm not kissing her. I'm not going to start doing other mares. You are the only one who can touch me." Daring says.

Blitz's mood deflates. "Well, there goes that fantasy. At least you did Fluttershy."

"Don't bring that up." Daring says poking his chest with every word.

Blitz sticks his tongue out. "Sure honey." He said playfully.

"You better." Daring says laying her head on his chest.

Blitz puts his hoof on her head and starts rubbing it. "You okay after going out at times?"

"I don't go anywhere near the fighting, I also visited our old friend." Daring says smiling.

Blitz smiled. "And how's the old bird?"

"He congratulated me after I sat down." Daring says.

Blitz grins. "Did he say what for?"

"For my marriage." Daring says before kissing his cheek.

Blitz chuckles. "Yeah, that's what I thought. Now are you going to be heading back to your apartment?"

"Yeah, I will." Daring says.

Blitz smiled. "Good, otherwise I would order Minerva here to send you back. Whether you like it or not. I care about you girls and I don't want to see you hurt and I can't do anything about it."

"Yes my love." Daring says smiling.

Blitz kisses her head. "Love ya."

"Well you can show it by taking me right here." Daring says innocently.

Daring gasps as Blitz grabs her and moves her onto his lap. "Don't tempt me, because I will do it and I'll bring out the collar." He said holding a hoof behind her neck.

"I'm kidding love. I will wait." Daring says smiling.

Blitz grabs her mane and pulls on it. "Good, I want it to be at your vacation home boss."

"Hey now, some of the others may like it, but I don't like my mane pulled, ok?" Daring asks.

Blitz shrugs and moves a hoof down to her flank before hitting her a bit. "I know you like something like this."

"Yeah, I like a smack to my flank every once in a while and I know you love to pound me." Daring says smirking.

Blitz smirks. "Yeah and I know from our time together that you like to fight, whether it's me or you doing the pounding, that's up to your mood and libido."

Daring growls a bit before biting his ear and pulling it. "You honry dog." She said, muffled by the ear.

Blitz chuckles as he lets her pull on him. "Yet you're the horny mare ready to go."

Daring grins and growls a little as she grinds his ear. "Crazy stallion."

Blitz smirks as he nips at her collarbone. "Horny mare."

Daring yips and let's go of his ear. "Bastard."

Blitz smiled. "All's fair in love and war."

"That is why I'm flanking you." Minerva says grabbing him from behind.

"Someone has been watching war documentaries again." Blitz says smirking.

Minerva shrugs. "At least I'm trying to get on your good side."

"Which side do you like more?" Blitz asks cheekily.

Minerva pushes herself into him. "The side that can knock me unconscious."

"So any then?" Blitz jokes.

Minerva kisses his cheek. "Yep."

"So I haven't see my mom in any of the calls. How is she?" Blitz asks concerned.

Both mares look to each other before looking back to him. "She's fine. Just busy with the foals." Daring said.

"Oh that's good." Blitz says.

Minerva giggles. "That and she doesn't know how to 'work the bloody thing.'" She said in an imitation of her voice.

"She could still talk through one of you girl's." Blitz says.

Daring shakes her head. "Busy at the time. Don't know where she went."

"So how are your students and you dealing with not going on adventure and just teaching since we got back from space?" Blitz asks.

Daring smiles. "Just peachy. For me, it's because you are an adventure every day." She said kissing his nose.

"And your boss shocked at your behavior?" Blitz asks smirking.

Daring grins. "Marriage and possible foal."

"I'm asking your headmaster's reaction to you love. So please answer and don't try to cutely evade the question." Blitz says.

Daring sighs. "A little mad."

"Huh? She is mad you are doing your job?" Blitz asks.

Daring smiled. "Mainly about not getting money off of that winning lawsuit."

"Oh, you mean where we countersued and won." Blitz says smiling.

Daring nods. "Yep. She wanted money off of that. She means well, just a bit of a cheapskate."

"Did my donation brighten her mood?" Blitz asks.

Daring giggles. "Oh yeah, it did." She said while thinking back to her letter that she sent.

"Now you best get ready to go see your stepchildren." Blitz says.

Daring frowns a bit. "Aw, I wanted to play with you."

"We can't love and you know why. Besides we might see the end of this war soon if the three commanding officers come up with a good plan." Blitz says.

Daring sighs and gets off of him. "Then you better go and hurry up."

"There is one last thing I can do for you before we part again." Blitz says rising as well.

Daring looks at him. "What's that?"

Blitz says nothing and lunges at her, capturing her lips and holds her on the ground. Daring squirms a bit as Minerva giggles as she watches the action and thinks about what he might do to her.

Blitz finally lets up on the kiss. "So?" Blitz asks.

Daring feels her eyes being rolled around. "Pretty good."

"Will that hold you over till I return?" Blitz asks.

Daring nods dumbly. "Yeppers." She said before going unconscious.

"Love you." Blitz says before carrying her over to the couch and sitting her down.

Daring just snores as Minerva holds her hooves out for him.

"Your turn." Blitz says bringing her into his hooves and capturing her lips like Daring before.

Minerva tries to hold him back, but Blitz held her hooves down before he pushes off her. "Now get her home." He said getting his things.

"Yes my love." Minerva says smiling.

Blitz sighs as he looks at her. "You came a long way, just for me."

"I will return to await being about to take you to the rest after I drop Daring off." Minerva says.

Blitz nods. "Get her back home. I'll be done soon." He said putting his armor on and heading out.

"You keep saying if they have a plan, but you have already made arrangements for them to move already, haven't you?" Minerva asks.

"The Overlord himself is too tempting of a target and with victory after victory amounting and so many of the warchiefs dead, now is the perfect opportunity." Blitz says.

Minerva smirks. "Then you better hurry before they steal your kill."

"We won't move for a bit, Lightning has already told me general Silver is moving resources to the front as secretly as possible. They are still preparing." Blitz says before sighing. "If I just had a squadron of fighter jets or a squad of zoid pilots this would already be over…I miss my Geno Saurer. I haven't gotten to pilot it in five years." Blitz says.

Minerva just smiled and says nothing.

"Speaking of equipment, has my fighter arrived?"

"Yes your jet has arrived already." Minerva says.

"Good, thanks Minerva. You mind doing maintenance on it for me since I will be in the field?" Blitz asks.

Minerva mocks salutes. "Yes sir."

"Thanks." Blitz says starting to put on his helmet.

Minerva sighs. "No problem love."

"See you later love." Blitz says donning his helmet.

Minerva waves goodbye as he heads out before she looks back to the sleeping Daring who snorts loudly.

"So you going to keep pretending?" Minerva asks.

Daring gets up and smiled. "Nah, he's gone."

"You happy now? You got a new artifact and you got to spend some time with your husband." Minerva says.

Daring sighs in relief as she sat down fully. "Oh yeah, now take me to the foals."

"Connecting to the ship now." Minerva says.

Daring smiled as the ship lifted off and headed back.

Blitz yawns a bit as he heads back to his tent and finds Lightning looking over his files. "See anything you like?"

"Well I like the fief of Blaseter. It has a nice castle overlooking the lake and the villages are fairly well off and nobody currently has been granted it." Lightning says.

Blitz chuckles. "Homes huh? Alright, move over." He said sitting by her. "What else?"

"Well I like the thought of you doing me in the master bed chambers of the castle." Lightning whispers to him.

Blitz smirks. "Later when we get it. How about this castle? It's got an internal and external hot spring and built into the mountain with a good elevation. Nice view too."

"Yes and the last owner was recently indicted for treason in selling national secrets to other countries." Lightning says before looking at him.

Blitz looks innocent. "Well now, that was his mistake."

Lightning just hits his shoulder.

"I swear, these guys have more energy than our favorite party pony." Discord said as he lifts Azure with his tail as he bit on it and growls playfully.

"Doesn't help that one is half vampire." Mary says as she lets Arcane continue to sleep on her back.

Blazer was just sitting nearby as he looks at the black sword. "You're lucky kid. I have only seen something like that once and he was a great warrior to wield it. They say, whoever has a black blade, wields the power of death himself, but that's just a saying." Discord said.

"They also say I am twenty feet tall and shoot lightning bolts from my eyes." Mary says.

Discord finally brings Azure into his arms. "Like I said, just as saying."

"Arcane, are you in here?" Twilight asks walking in.

Arcane snores quietly as he still sleeps on Mary's back and she shows him. "Little guy tuckered himself out."

"Oh my little foal." Twilight says happily walking over.

Discord perks up a bit. "I sense a disturbance. Like all my chaos is being choked out."

"Oh you must mean my parents trying to put the rooms you used your magic on in order." Twilight says rubbing Arcane's head.

Discord groans. "I worked all day on that. Made it good for the little ones and what do I get, nothing."

"You got a gallon of chocolate milk in the fridge, best guard that from Pinkie." Twilight says.

Discord perks up again. "Oh, that sounds nice."

Mary looks over to Twilight. "So when is the princess coming over?"

"I got a letter earlier saying she is coming in four days." Twilight says smiling as Arcane yawns as he starts to rouse.

Mary starts rubbing his stomach. "You think she would like them?"

"I'm concerned like my husband on her discovering my son is an Alicorn. Remember Luna's reaction? She is far more relaxed than Celestia is at such things." Twilight says.

Discord scoffs. "That's cause little Lulu is adventures and excited at new things."

"And her sister can be very resistant to change or something that can threaten her superiority." Twilight says picking up Arcane.

They both look at her. "When did you become so cynical?" Mary asks.

Twilight shrugs. "I think about the time I had a good talk with Blitz." She said as Arcane wakes up and coos at her. "Hello little Arcane. Had a good nap?" She said nuzzling her nose on his. Arcane giggles as he reaches out for her with his hooves. Twilight smiled and lets him hang on to her nose. "Oh you funny little prince."

Discord smirks. "Is he much trouble?"

"Yesterday he sent many of my books flying when he used his magic." Twilight says holding Arcane in her hooves now.

Discord laughs as he claps his paw and talon. "That's my little chaos bringer. Nice work." He said giving a thumbs up to Arcane who cheers.

"Let's just hope he doesn't cause as much trouble as his father." Twilight says.

Discord leans down and let's Azure crawl around again. "You know that's a hardly a chance of that happening." He said flicking his finger on her nose.

"You're right, he might get into more trouble." Twilight says before using her magic to make Discord flip his own nose.

"Hey everypony, I'm back." Daring calls entering.

The foals cheer as Blazer just looks at her. "Hey Daring, how was your time there?" Twilight asks.

"I got a present from Blitzy and met up with an old friend." Daring says.

Mary smiled. "And what did my son give ya?"

"Another piece for my collection to study." Daring says.

"And judging from the smell, you had some personal contact with him." Twilight says making Daring chuckle nervously.

Daring rubs a hoof behind her head. "Yeah, he kinda really did it, just a kiss, but I played dead on that."

Twilight and Mary giggles as Discord just pretends to barf until a changeling comes in. "My queen, there are some volunteers here."

Twilight looks to him. "Oh good, bring them to the main room and I'll see to them." She said giving Arcane back to Mary. "The foals don't need to hear this." She said before walking out. "And for the record, I know you slept in the same bed as him last night." Twilight says before leaving.

Mary blinks as Arcane giggles and claps his hooves. "Oy, I hate her connections to the changelings."

Discord just grinds his claws. "I think it was the smell you two have. She does have enhanced senses."

"Or that." Daring says huffing before being tackled by Azure.

They laugh as Azure stands proudly on her chest. "I have been defeated." Daring said raising a hoof before putting it back down as she sees Vinyl trying to sneak up on Azure.

Vinyl hisses before Azure jumps up and Vinyl lunges and misses him, making her land on her Daring with a grunt. "Ow." She groans out as Azure stands proudly on both of them.

Both Mary and Discord clap as they watch the spectacle. "Well Vinyl, you lost again." Discord said.

"Why you little!" Vinyl says before starting to chase Azure around the room. "Get back here!" She yelled as Azure just laughs and giggles. Leaving Mary, Discord and Daring laughing at he attempts

"So, you really want to go through with this?" Twilight asks the mare. "You know this will be like having a real foal, just instead of a foal, you have an egg or more than one."

The mare nods. "Don't really have anypony in my life. So I thought that maybe helping out would at least would be good. Besides, this is for the survival of the changelings, right?"

Twilight nods. "Yes, since we are low on their own broodmares. You will be facing the same things as a normal pregnant mare, so be ready. We have prepared a changeling doctor, so to speak, to give you the things you need until you lay the egg and then you're done. All medicines and visits will be here. Now, just sign here and you would be taken to the breeding room and just ask the changeling for what you want to do while you mate. At least we can make this fun for you because some are still freaked out from just changelings." She said putting some papers down as a changeling steps up and the mare starts signing. "This changeling will be the one to mate with you. Why don't you walk and talk and tell him what you want." She said taking the signed papers back as the mare walks off with the changeling and they start talking.

Twilight sighs and leans back in her seat. "I can't believe I'm asking ponies for this."

'This is for the race little Twilight.' Chrysalis said. 'You would have to do this eventually.'

Twilight clicks her tongue. "I just wish we would have had enough to go by on the changeling race."

'Blame my actions.' Chrysalis said.

Fluttershy then comes in and puts down a tray of food. "Are you okay?"

Twilight looks to her. "A little. Just worried for what others would say at this point. What about you, you okay?"

"You sure?" Fluttershy asks.

"Yes, also Blitz sent a message for you." Twilight says.

Fluttershy perks up. "What did master say?"

"We are going to have to talk about putting subliminal messages in the other mares' minds." Twilight says.

Fluttershy blushes and pushes her hooves together. "Um….okay. I thought it would be nice for Blitz to have one like me."

"P.S. I don't want a substitute, I want you love." Twilight reads.

Fluttershy smiled as she looks down and hides behind her mane. "Um…oh boy."

"Tell you what, you can join me with the first session when he gets back if you remove the suggestion from Daring." Twilight offers.

Fluttershy blushes some more. "That sound nice."

Twilight sighs. "Why do you want us to wear collars Fluttershy?"

Fluttershy stutters a bit. "Um…I thought it might be fun for Blitz."

"That is your special thing with Blitz. He wants no other to wear them but you." Twilight whispers into her ear.

Fluttershy keeps blushing. "Um…I…um…"

"He loves you and all your quirks including this one." Twilight says smiling.

Fluttershy shakes a bit. "Um…oh boy…I…can't…"

"Also, after all of this, let's all get away from all of this. How about it all of us go to Daring's cottage and live a nice life away from all this hustle and bustle. You can play with the foals more that way." Twilight says.

Fluttershy perks up. "Oh, that sounds nice. But we should make the home bigger for all of us."

"Then it's a good idea I hired some builders and mandalorians to fix up my home. Make it a bit more advance, have it a bit bigger. Just told them to leave the basic stuff to us when we get there. Just get the supplies." Daring said walking in.

"Where is Azure?" Twilight asks.

Daring lifts her wing and they see Azure nestled in the crook of her wing. "He likes to be snuggled." She said sitting down and taking out Azure and sets him down between them, letting him warm up and snuggle them both.

"And Vinyl?" Fluttershy asks with a knowing smile.

Daring stays quiet as they see some white leg appear over the couch and suddenly grabs Azure. "Yes! Finally!" Vinyl cheers. "I caught him!" She cheers as she holds him up high.

"You caught a sleeping foal." Fluttershy says smirking.

Vinyl looks up and sees Azure trying to curl into her hooves. "Dang it. Not fair." She said bringing him down to her level.

They all giggle or laugh as Azure yawns and sees Vinyl before giggling.

"Come here you." Vinyl says bringing him to eye level and touches his nose to hers.

Azure giggles and bites her nose, making it squeak like a toy.

"You little rascal." Octavia says walking up.

Azure keeps making Vinyl's nose squeak as Octavia pulls on him before he lets go and giggles as the funny bite marks on Vinyl's nose. Vinyl groans as she rubs her nose. "Ow."

"He really likes you Vinyl. So Azure, are you hungry?" Octavia asks.

Azure's stomach rumbles and he looks at it before nodding and holds out his hooves and points at his mouth.

"Ok sweetie, mommy will get you some food." Octavia says.

Azure cheers as Octavia takes him away to the kitchen. "At least you got him one way." Twilight said to Vinyl.

"So I hear Fluttershy is hypnotizing the others." Vinyl says.

Fluttershy blushes as Twilight nods. "Yep, makes us be like her. Collars and all. Why, you want to?" Twilight teases.

"Keep doing it and me and Octy will be on your case." Vinyl warns clearly not amused.

Fluttershy whimpers and hides a bit behind her mane.

"What you like to do with our husband is fine, just respect the rest of us enough to let us love him in our own ways." Vinyl says.

Fluttershy whimpers a bit. "O…okay."

"Now come on, let's go get some blood and enjoy ourselves." Vinyl says hooking a hoof around Fluttershy.

Fluttershy looks to her. "Um…I don't drink blood."

"Then beer or wine it is." Vinyl says dragging her away.

Fluttershy still stutters. "Um…I don't drink that either."

"We are going to have fun." Vinyl says no longer listening to her.

Twilight sighs and looks back to the papers before she has a changeling takes it away and she leans back. "This is going to be a fun marriage with the others. At least we have things to do." She said picking up a puzzle box. "Dang puzzle box!" She said after moving a few pieces before Arcane climbs onto her head.

Blitz smirks as he feels something good. "What are you smirking about?" Lightning asks.

Blitz chuckles. "Just something funny."

"That is?" Lightning asks.

"Maybe I will tell you later." Blitz says leaning against her.

Lightning shakes her head. "Oh boy. You really like to make other lives harder, don't you?"

Blitz just looked innocent. "I have no idea what you are talking about."

Lightning pushes his shoulder. "Idiot." She said looking back to the numerous castles and homes. "So, what do we want?"

"I like the first choice, the best, but we can only request the fief, the king has to reward it so there is no guarantee we will get it." Blitz says.

Lightning clicks her tongue. "Well that's a letdown."

Blitz thinks on something as he picks out a few top choices to give to the others. "You know, I heard a rumor that a band is in the camp."

Lightning packs away the ones he didn't choose. "Oh really?"

Blitz nods. "Yeah, but it's probably just that, a rumor."

"So when do you think we will move?" Lightning asks.

"Two days at least." Blitz answers.

Lightning sighs. "Let's hope we get back soon. I am really hoping to see the foals again and see Arcane for the first time in person."

"You and me both. But unlike all our battles beforehand, this one won't end quickly we could be looking at a multiple day engagement." Blitz says.

Lightning looks away a little. "Then let's hope we can end this quickly. The dogs are relentless."

"We want that. We want them to make mistakes so we can take advantage of that. Despite popular opinion, the overlord is not stupid. He is quite clever really." Blitz says.

Lightning clicks her tongue. "Dang it. And I bet they want the same things."

Blitz nods. "Doesn't every side?"

Lightning looks back at him. ""Guess so. Though what now? We have a lot of time."

Blitz sighs. "Wait until Silver gives some orders, then we can decide from there."

"Alright, but only because you say so." Lightning says.

Blitz smirks. "You want to go out and kick some puppy ass."

"No, I'm going to bring my blaster rifle this time, not like the last few battles where I only used martial arts." Lightning says.

Blitz shrugs. "Your choice, but you did look a bit sexy while doing it."

"Can I take that as you conceding defeat?" Lightning asks.

"You wish." Blitz says.

Lightning smirks. "Just wait, you won't be able to resist my charms much longer and you would be wishing to get into bed with me."

Blitz chuckles. "Yeah, but you would be begging me for some fun. I think we have spent enough time here, time to get back to Whirlwind's training."

Lightning nods and heads out with him to see Whirlwind sitting down on a crate, overlooking the area ahead. "Ah good, you're awake. That makes things easier." Blitz said walking up with Lightning.

'Oh no.' Whirlwind thinks.

Two days have passed and Blitz was lecturing Whirlwind on history, tactic, and strategy.

"And that is the secret behind Alexander the Great's strategy that destroyed the Persian Empire." Blitz finishes the lecture and turns around to see, to his surprise, Whirlwind was not the only one sitting and listening to the lecture. "Huh, that's good."

Whirlwind raises an eyebrow. "Yeah, what did you think would happen when you start talking about some great tactician?"

"He was more than a tactician Whirlwind, he was a general and a ruler. Now tell me, what was the best decision he made that saved his army?" Blitz says.

"When he chose to go and aid his left flank on the verge of collapse over killing the king of Persia." Whirlwind says.

"Correct and by doing so saved his army. After that battle, the resistance he faced from the Persian Empire was greatly diminished and he conquered all of it and kept going even further east. Darius III though escaped into the mountains only to be killed by one of his own generals within the year. That is all for now Whirlwind, you are to read chapters one to three in this book before the next lesson." Blitz says giving him a book.

Whirlwind nods and takes the book and leaves. "Can I assume this means that we have been ordered to attack?" Blitz asks looking to Silver.

Silver nods. "Yeah, we have been ordered to lead the charge and we get to choose our own battle plans. Though now the main idea is to, one, break through the line and two, hold said line. After that, the rest of plans are up to us since most of the other groups are going into their own attacks plans just to get in." He said counting it off on his claws.

"And while we do that, the other two units will engage the other two tribes and their warchiefs." Blitz says.

Silver sighs. "This will be a massacre, but we're going have to do something about it. Want to take a look at the maps first and see what we got, armies and all?"

"Silver, this won't be like all the other battles. We are facing elite armies here and then the warchief. This isn't going to like all the other battles where we massacred them." Blitz says.

Silver eyes him. "I meant us being massacred, not them."

"That's if we don't go about this smartly. This is reminding me of Alexander the Great's battle I just taught Whirlwind." Blitz says

Silver chuckles. "Taking one from his playbook?"

"Unlike him, we aren't so greatly outnumbered." Blitz says.

Silver sighs. "Still, want to look at the map and plan things out? The other units want to have part of it so they can work on it. They just want the main goal and they'll work from there."

"Yeah, we can also determine who will fight which tribe." Blitz says following him.

Silver nods as they and some others reach the table holding all the maps and placements. "Your move." Silver said smirking. "I'll follow."

"You're the commanding officer, so it is the other way around." Blitz says.

Silver looks to the places of the dog camps and then theirs before looking at the terrain. Of course he could concentrate if that one soldier would stop chewing. "Oy! What are you eating?!" He yelled to the nearby soldier who was chewing on a rod.

The soldier looks up and spits out the hollow rod. "Reed from the nearby embankment. Really sweet for some reason."

Silver glares. "Well stop that, this plan…is it hollow?" He asks with a bit of curiosity.

The soldier nods and tosses the reed to him. Silver looks through before trying to breathe through it and stops and looks at the map again. "Frontal attack won't be enough and I doubt the chief would be behind the front line since there are a few lines of defense for them."

"And there being three armies on both sides, we can't try and flank them without being blocked by one of the armies." Blitz says.

Silver looks to the reed again before looking to the rivers. "How about we send a little distraction behind them. Just place and run. Enough to make the main camp in such a disarray that they can't send new orders to the front and gives us a better chance. And the way to get behind them…" He runs his claw along the rivers running through the whole land. "Reed breathing. Just a little and then back to us. Soon the next line would be worried enough for us to get a little heads up and from there on, we have to go back to front line tactics as we get closer."

"The problem again lies in three different armies, then the Overlord's, we can only manage to do it to once and even if we break through, the other two units will be bogged down fighting the two other tribes and we would be face with the Overlord's army in a straight up fight and that army is supposedly twice as big as any of the other three armies guarding them." Blitz says.

Silver nods. "I know, that's why it will be once only. As for our other two armies, we just breaking a line. Because with the terrain," He said running a claw along the terrain on the dog's front line. "It will difficult to get there since it is close to a pass and the mountains themselves. If we can cause a disarray, then we can get close to the passes and hold there. After we set up at the passes, help will come to our other two armies and they find the other small passes a bit less guarded since we will work backward along the range."

"Just come out and say it you want the ghost to really mess up their chain of command." Blitz says.

Silver chuckles. "Of course I do. They're the only ones who can get through the river and get behind and get out without much trouble. Besides, it's an in and out mission. After that, they come back and take out the little camps and bases along the second line as a way to also take out the first to make things easier. That will buy us some time until they realize one of their bases and bunkers are down."

"Unlike all the other times, we can't do it at the start as they might have prepared for it this time." Blitz says.

Silver huffs. "Yes, we can't after your fiasco. Which means we need to do it when don't expect it. How's the water and what is the weather for the whole week ahead?"

"The water will start to freeze over tonight and it will start to snow later today and I mean we can't kill them at the beginning of the battle, we will have to wait for the right moment." Blitz says.

Silver presses his beak together. "What's the status of the bunkers and camps on the second line?" He asks while taking out a paper and quill.

"No signs of change, but we have seen campfires from within them." Blitz says reading a report.

Silver nods as he starts writing. "Good, then let's leave the river plan for some other time if we get a chance. For now, I want all of ghost team to be split in two. Equal or almost equal amounts of them going through the mountains and heading into the second lines. Take them out slowly so as to not let others notices. Play with the bodies as placement incase those on the ground or from further away would look their way. Remember, no rush as we would still have trouble and they just have to hold it, don't worry about us. Think they can do that?" He said putting the quill away and rolling the scroll.

"Alright, I will send both to go hunting for them when the time is right, but not before." Blitz says.

Silver nods and turns to a nearby messenger. "Find a way to send this to the chief." He said giving the scroll to him before turning back to the map. "Good, I hope they can possibly do it when we are all busy. Through now we have to deal with our front line. Status of our army and theirs?"

"I will leave that to you." Blitz says.

Silver clicks his tongue. "Oh boy. At least give me current placement."

"Easy, they are all huddled together in their camps." Blitz says.

Silver stars to reach for his lined up army pieces before stopping and bangs his fist onto the table, messing up the pieces and surprising everyone at his sudden action, then starts remaking the dogs. "Try this placement for us." He said looking to the haphazard pieces for the griffon army.

"Oh, seems someone's taking inspiration from my lecture." Blitz says.

Silver chuckles. "What can I say, it's…compiling. You don't happen to have an unbreakable knot, would you?" He asks with a smirk.

"This kind of thinking is a good thing, now let's see if they take the bait like the Persian king did." Blitz says.

Silver sighs. "If I know dogs, their basic instinct is to cover possible heavy hitters if they are coming in like chariots and all that and once hit, they would try and hold as much as possible while sending almost everything in the area around the attackers, which is us. Of course, we need some different soldiers from our usual ones. And I don't mean the ghost team. One day is spent getting to the sites and the other is dealing with the bunkers and camps. I don't want the dogs to do a check up on them so it has to be done in the least amount of time. But still take it easy as it might lead to a mistake and alert the whole line as they might not be busy with us that much until we get close enough and that won't happen for a while."

"Gotcha. I will also send the rangers of our unit to the front line to aid them. They will help boost morale." Blitz says.

Silver growls a little. "Just have them attack from the front once we get close enough and hold a distraction. Once that happens, they would be busy enough to not notice their line going out. Try to make it look like they are still attacking. We need as much likeness as possible to not alert the third line. Besides, wouldn't it sound weird when they don't hear shots or arrows whizzing about to the line below?"

"They will never see me coming." Blitz says.

Silver nods. "Yes, but that also means you have to hit us. Once in a while, don't kill us." He said shaking his head before sighing. "Okay, let's see. A line all the way to the mountain sides, but snow…"

"Alright. You can handle it from here." Blitz says.

Silver nods. "Yes, get there quickly, but once there take it easy. Got it?"

"Right, make the mountain of corpses slowly." Blitz says disappearing.

Silver raises an eyebrow before turning back to the others. "Alright, let's get back to this. I'm open here based on haphazard layouts. Try not to make it obvious." He asks the others.

"And that is what you and the squad you pick will be doing." Blitz says in his tent as he looks at Lightning who was brushing her mane.

Lightning nods. "Guess I will go one side and you would be on the other, right?" She said slightly looking at him.

"Yeah, I'm going to handle the tribe our unit will be fighting, while you and the ones you pick, tackle the other two." Blitz says.

Lightning stops her brushing and turns around. "Can you promise me something?"

"Yes?" Blitz asks leaning against her.

Lightning sighs and puts a hoof on his cheek. "Don't you dare die because you would lose." She said with a smirk.

"Me lose, you sure you know me love?" Blitz asks jokingly.

Lightning smiled. "Promise me."

"Only if you admit defeat." Blitz says smirking as he starts tickling her stomach.

Lightning tries to hold her laughter. "Never."

"We shall see." Blitz says intensifying his assault.

Lightning let's a giggle through before holding herself again. "Stop." She said trying to hold him back.

"No way, you're my mare and you need to relax a bit." Blitz says getting one of her most ticklish spots.

Lightning squirms around as she landed on her back and Blitz continued to tickle her. "Please stop." She struggled to say and looks at him.

"Ok, for now." Blitz says stopping and just holds her.

Lightning tries to breathe and sees him trying to hold her. "Please don't do that again."

"No promises, because I plan to continue this later after the battle." Blitz says.

Lightning gulps a bit. "Just don't." She said burying her head into his neck.

"Nope, I already planned on it so don't get too hurt in the battle." Blitz says smiling.

Lightning presses her lips together. "Please don't." Burying her head more. "I don't want to…"

"You won't lose me love." Blitz says wrapping his tail around hers.

Lightning tries to breathe before licking his neck a little. "Blitz?"

"Just relax my love, you know how I am with my plans." Blitz says getting a smile from her.

Lightning keeps licking his neck. "I know, I meant the danger you're getting."

"It can't be helped as the situation is." Blitz says.

Lightning gulps as she finally stops and puts her head back down. "You said something about danger coming."

"Yeah. Let's just leave it at that right now and I will tell you everything when we get back to the others." Blitz says.

Lightning sighs as she slightly looks at him. "Why?"

"I don't want you distracted from the current situation. In the battle it could prove deadly." Blitz says.

Lightning looks harder at him. "I meant me, why me?"

"Because you are my second in command and my most trusted comrade." Blitz says.

Lightning makes them flip over and ended up on top. "I meant us, this whole thing, why me? Why did you like me?"

"You want the entire list because it is at least a mile long?" Blitz says cheesy.

Lightning shakes her head before getting off and keeping their tails tied together and leads him to the bed before making him fall on her and pulls the cover on them. "How about you start? I want to hear almost every single word." She said tapping his nose slightly.

"Ok, just remember, you asked me to do this." Blitz says before starting.

Chapter 1 (Part 6): The Darkness in Us

Meanwhile on Tython, the jedi council had convinced.

"So what is this about?" Ahsoka asks as she and her master and commander, Anakin Skywalker, stood in the council room.

"We have all felt a disturbance in the force." Mace Windu says.

Anakin looks around at all the masters. "And what exactly do we have?"

"We don't know what it is exactly. Could be a sith mistaking revealing himself or it could be something mistakenly using the dark side." Kit Fisto says.

Ahsoka looks confused. "How could someone use it mistakenly?"

"Possibly a member of an underdeveloped planet is force sensitive. Probably practicing without knowing what it is going on." Plo Koon says.

"If that's the case, we need to find them before our enemies do or if the worst, deal with it." Mace said.

"The problem is that the alliance and the republic have very strict rules with under developed planets and interfering with them." Obi Wan says.

"And the fact that the last time we did something like this, a jedi fell to the dark side and conquered and enslaved the planet." Shaak Ti says.

Ahsoka looks around at them. "So what do we do?"

"We could send someone to investigate." Plo Koon says.

"Do we at least know where it came from?" Ki-Adi-Mundi asks.

"Know, we do not, but work together, an answer may be found." Yoda says.

All of them soon start to concentrate and after a while, they start to thin out the direction before they stop and look at each other. "We have it." Mace said.

Ahsoka smiles a bit. "So where is it?"

"Here." Yoda says pointing to the star map which zooms in on the equestrian system.

"Do we have any data on it?" Anakin asks.

A few screens pop up on and shows all the information on the system. "Huh, equines." Ahsoka said interested. "Wait…"

"Someone you know Padawan?" Plo Koon asks.

"Yes, they remind me of a bounty hunter I worked with to bring down that crime syndicate on my first solo mission." Ahsoka says transferring data on Southern Cross.

"This guy? This one came from that system?" Anakin asks as a picture of him comes up.

"The body type is the same, but how could he, as they are not even space faring?" Windu asks.

"I can answer that. I asked him what species he was as I didn't know what he was and he told me his wasn't a spacefaring race. When I inquired, he told me he was abducted as a child by intergalactic slave traders." Ahsoka explained.

They all look to her. "And he got out or did he join?" Mace asks.

"He is a mandalorian and all he said about the slavers was, 'There wasn't enough ashes left to fertilize a small garden.'" Ahsoka says.

They all look a little surprised. "Mandalorian? This might complicate things." Anakin said.

"We contact mandalore to see if they will give us some information." Kit Fisto says.

"That is if he isn't with the mandalorian warrior clans. As we all know, Mandalore has dismantled that and is trying to take the path of pacifism." Obi Wan says.

Ahsoka raises an eyebrow before looking to Anakin as the rest of the masters try to come up with something. "Can I go and deal with something? It might help this whole situation."

"Wait young one, you have met this one in person, correct?" Mace Windu asks.

Ahsoka nods. "Yes, like I said, it was a solo mission that we did."

"Can you get in contact with him?" Mace Windu asks.

"Unfortunately, I haven't been able to for a long while. He dropped off the grid a while ago and no one has really heard from him or even come in contact with him since he cashed in seven bounties." Ahsoka says bringing up the bounties pictures.

"Weren't they the ones that bombed the council?" Windu asks.

"Correction, the assembly of the alliance representatives. I think they call it the united species." Plo Koon says.

Anakin chuckles. "At the rate the system might be going, they might have to join."

Ahsoka rolls her eyes. "Anyway, the only thing we got was transactions for his bounties. That was all we got for information on him last."

"You said you were unable to contact him. Does that mean you had the ability to?" Obi-Wan asks.

"Yes, I have the number to his private channel, but I haven't been able to call him in years." Ahsoka admits.

Anakin smiled. "Space trip?"

"I have no idea where he is. For all I know he has become one with the force already." Ahsoka says.

"Or he could be unintentionally doing it and it could be something else. Also, is there something you are not telling us?" Obi Wan asks.

Ahsoka flinched at that and stayed silent for several moments before speaking. "I am unsure, but I think he may have had feeling for me at one time." Ahsoka says.

They all stare at her. "And what did you do about that?" Anakin asks.

"I never got the chance to do anything as we fell out of contact." Ahsoka says.

They still watch her carefully. "As for now, let's not head for the system or try to find him until we get into contact with the mandalorians." Windu said.

"Send the padawan, we should." Yoda says surprising everyone.

They all look at him. "Excuse me?" Anakin asks.

"Padawan, what do you sense?" Yoda asks.

"I…I sense something calling out to me." Ahsoka admits.

Anakin watches her carefully. "And what does it say?"

"I can't tell. I'm not even sure it is using words." Ahsoka says.

Yoda hums before speak. "Go young Padawan. There may be destiny."

Ahsoka looks to Anakin before nodding to them. "Okay, so when do I leave?"

"Gather your essentials. Provide a ship, we will." Yoda says.

Ahsoka nods and walks out, leaving the rest much to discuss.

Ahsoka walks through the old temple that had been only recently reconstructed. 'The planet of the first jedi and origin of the order.' She thought. 'I wonder if he remembers.'

"Board." Blitz calls out as best he could as he holds the nails in his mouth. Daring and Applejack hold the board in place for him to nail in. He grabs the hammer and nails the board in. "Thanks, how's the foals doing?" He asks getting more nails.

They all look over and sees the foals standing on each other as they try and hold the board up while Shadow smiles and hammers it in. "They're doing fine." Applejack said.

"It's too adorable." Fluttershy says.

Blitz was about to hammer in another board when he got a shiver down his spine.

Daring notices his mane stand on end for a bit. "You okay?"

"Yeah, I just have a feeling of something. I can't place it though." Blitz says.

Daring looks a bit concerned. "You'll be okay, right?"

"I don't know." Blitz says.

Daring leans in. "Want me to tell Minerva to be on the lookout for anything strange?"

Blitz hammers in another board. "Minimal, just be on lookout near us."

"Spectrum, Blast, how are you two doing?" Rainbow asks as the twins start to wake up from their nap.

They both look up at her and hold out their hooves.

"Come here my foals." Rainbow says nuzzling them on the cloud.

Blitz smiled as he watches them. "This was a great idea Daring." He said looking to her.

Daring grins. "I know, I'm awesome."

Rainbow looks to her. "Hey, that's my shtick."

"Too bad." Daring said before sticking her tongue out at her.

Blitz chuckles. "Ladies, please. Let's not fight, especially with the foals here." He said motioning to the foals now trying to balance a new board.

"Ok, fine." The two mares say in unison.

Blitz smiled. "That's good. Now then, how's your end going Whirlwind?" He asks while grinning a bit at his predicament of being the stock griffon and carrying all the supplies.

"Doing well." Whirlwind says.

Blitz smirks and raises an eyebrow. "Do you remember my order?"

Whirlwind grunts a little as some of the supplies weighs him down. "To take care of the supplies and not let it get tarnished."

Blitz tilts his head. "And you didn't think of another way?"

Whirlwind looked confused before realizing what he meant. "Dang nabbit!" He yelled before all the supplies went down with him and landed on top of him. "Ow."

Blitz chuckles as he walks over. "Yep, you could have used a tarp." He said grabbing another board and wood brace while using his magic to lift those supplies off him.

Whirlwind groans as he sits up. "Sorry sir."

Blitz waves him off. "It's fine. Just try to think of what you remember back in your young days. I'm sure your parents may have to do maintenance on the house. Even if you didn't participate, you may have seen it from time to time on how they deal with it."

Whirlwind nods as he looks up. "Um…yes sir."

Blitz smiled. "Good." He said making a tarp come out of the house and placed on the ground before putting the supplies there.

"You will be missed Daring." Blitz says hugging her.

Daring chuckles as she hugs him back. "Hey, I'm coming back. Just need to keep up my job don't I?"

"Yeah, but we won't be able to see you for a while. Also I added your omnitool with a distress signal that will alert me if you are in trouble or you go into labor." Blitz says.

Daring smiled and kisses his cheek. "Thanks Blitz. Now then, my train leaves in a bit, so I better go."

"You two make sure nothing happens to her." Blitz says to the pony guards that Twilight gave.

They nod as Daring giggles and kisses him again, this time on the lips before letting go and then grabs her bag. "See you honey." She said before walking away. "Bye everypony."

"Bye." They all say, waving or the best the foals could do.

Blitz smiled as she left, but not before she actually blew a kiss at him before the door closes. "That is definitely my wife."

"And now she is like how I was." Rainbow says holding Spectrum and Blast.

Blitz chuckles. "Yeah, though, I still like a bit of change here and there, I don't want to lose the real you. Remember that." He said to the rest of them.

"Now Spitfire, Fleetfoot, and Daring are away now." Twilight says.

Blitz nods. "If there's anything you girls need to do and that requires you to be away, do it. The vacation is coming to a close anyway."

"What vacation, we are temporarily living here?" Applejack says.

Blitz rolls his eyes. "Considering that Mandalore might contact me and call up for another mission or anything. He's like that to call me when I'm on my off time. Did it once in the middle of a massage too."

"I know, but you are building up this planet. That reminds me, we have we have a meeting with the griffon king in three days and Luna wants to see us soon." Twilight says.

Blitz groans. "I hate meetings."

"There, there, Blitzy." Twilight says as Arcane is on his head laying down.

Blitz looks to her. "Can you do the talking?"

"Maybe, but will need to consult you as some of the meeting will be about Ridley and starting to mine materials to start making starships." Twilight says.

Blitz stares at her before groaning. "Dang it. At least I can convince them this will give a lease on life and able to have a bigger military. When do you want to go?"

"It's not for six days and you have a concert to attend to tonight." Twilight says.

Blitz sighs. "Then I'll see you later Twi. Who knows what Vinyl may be doing now?"

Twilight giggles. "I can guess. Drinking and hitting the tunes already."

"Yeah, she is always like that before having to go to one of Octavia's concerts." Blitz says.

Twilight smiled and gives him a kiss. "Better get going." Blitz nods and heads off as Arcane jumps off and lands on Twilight's head. "Bye honey." She said waving at him as Arcane gives a little wave as well.

"Alright, see you all soon." Blitz says walking away with a smile.

They all wave at him as he heads out the door before running off. "Okay, now what?" Twilight asks looking to the rest of them.

Spike watches the meeting happen as he runs some of the ships on a small escort mission. "So, to recap. You will get a larger military army, have access to the world provided that you follow the newly established rules as followed and you would get new access as time goes on and you gain more experience in the area." Blitz said to the griffon king as Luna stands in for Celestia, a dragon was there, with a diamond dog, a zebra and many others. "Also, you will have to put some differences aside as the whole planet will contribute to this effort and always work with personnel and soldiers from all sides." He further explained.

"We dogs have little choice in the matter. We will agree with this." The overlord of the dogs says.

The dragon huffs some flames from his mouth. "As long as we can send some young hatchlings on board. I don't think the experienced and wise ones would even bother moving. At least make a ship for our size to follow and we will follow."

"Considering the size of the admiral that has been chosen, I don't think that is a problem." Blitz says.

The griffon looks to him. "And where is this…Ridley?"

"On his ship. We are currently constructing a space station in orbit to be bases for either the defense system of the planet or a shipyard." Blitz says.

The zebra keeps looking over the papers and then looks to the tablet on the table. "And how long would it be?"

Blitz sighs. "A few years at least. It does take a while to build ships, let alone a station."

The zebra stares at him. "We are still searching along the world, but if there are other places, we want to be a part of it."

Luna smiled. "We kinda have no choice anyway since we have already sent some of our own for a test run as it were. And boy did they like it. So, we're in."

Spike stared at the griffon king on the monitor as he redirects the path of one of the ships as Ridley comes up behind him. "This is your kind on your planet?"

Spike huffs. "Yeah, we don't look like it, but we would pack a wild punch when it comes to it. Everyone has already agreed, but the griffon king is still holding out."

"So what, he still coming to term about all of this about other species living out beyond the solar system and they can travel through space?" Ridley asks as he is handed a large datapad.

Spike smiled a little. "Somewhat. Especially after this thing." He said making a screen come up and shows a creature in the bay in a room with a large clear window as it just stared at the personnel nearby. "Once this thing and its friends pop up, the griffon king ordered a full examination, but Blitz got them away first."

"Never seen anything like them before." Ridley says.

Spike shrugs. "Records show it is a Wraith. A very stealthily monster. Deadly when facing alone."

"How old are those records?" Ridley asks.

Spike looks carefully at him. "At least a thousand or so galactic years from an abandoned colony after they found it there. Of course here, they were hibernating."

"Then that begs the question, what were they doing here?" Ridley asks as the sensor net sounded. "Report!" He ordered.

"Sir, unknown vessel has been detected." A communication officer says.

Spike sighs as he leaves a few more orders for the escort ships to follow before turning to him. "Where?" He asks as he turns on the radar map.

"Coming towards the planet from quadrant Q." The officer says.

"Sharp Shot, get to the main gun, all other units, battle stations!" Spike orders.

Ridley eyes the little dragon. "Have you always commanded this ship?"

Spike scoffs. "Not until the fight with you and your army. Then I could have some fun with it." He said as the ship comes online and starts to move around to the new vessel. "How many we got?"

"Only one. Scanning, it looks like a small ship used for smuggling or a privately owned transporter." The officer says.

"Check the schedule, do we have any incoming shipments?" Spike asks.

"No sir." The officer says.

"Could be slavers or a smuggler. I want that ship captured!" Ridley ordered.

"Yes Admiral. Should we inform the chief?" The officer asks.

Spike brings up the screen and sees them all signing the papers and datapad now. "No, this might hurt the planet's chance. Let's do this quietly as possible and let's try not to make such a big light show if we can."

"Alright, launch fighters, use ion weaponry and have the Darkline go stealth and sneak up onto the ship and get it in a tractor beam so it can't jump to hyperspace while simultaneously jamming their communications." Ridley orders and soon the Darkline disappears from his view.

Spike looks to him. "I see why Blitz wanted you with us like this." He said as the ships move closer to each other.

Ridley smirks. "Of course, I know you can do tactics, but for longer times and basic life, you know almost the basic stuff before you run short on a replicator." He said as the ship unknowingly moves past the Darkline. "Tractor beam, now!"

They soon watch as the little ship stops in place before shaking itself and soon was pulled inward to the Darkline as it revealed itself and has its cannons pointed right at it. "Guess we better greet our new visitor." Spike suggested.

"Send a message to the chief, now tell him we have a guest, a possible smuggler or maybe a slaver." Ridley says.

"Oh Blitz isn't going to like this." Spike says.

"Very good. I'll have the official papers signed with me and give it the seal of approval and send the others to the galactic council for you to start living life in space. For now, is the waiting game as we still need to build everything. Though you might want to start selecting soldiers and troops to be sent for training in space." Blitz said taking the papers and messing with the datapad.

Luna leans over. "So what now?"

Blitz smiled. "Well, like I said. Start selecting soldiers and troops for life in space and then…" His communicator beeps before he could say anything else. Blitz sighs and turns it on. "Cross here, what's going on?"

"Chief, we caught something we think it might be a smuggler or even a slaver based on the ship." A communication officer says.

"Roger, I will come up there personally to interrogate them later." Blitz says

"Um…yes sir." The officer said before cutting the line.

Blitz smiled as he turns to the rest of them. "Well, looks like I have something to look to. You can also discuss any other matters, but I have to get going. I promise I'll file the paperwork and you'll be legal to go into space then." He said before gathering the datapad and papers before walking away. "Ta ta."

"So what now?" Luna asks.

"Allow me to take over. I am one of the geographic experts that Mandalore himself assign to help with this planet's development. Now there are a few important resources you sh…" Blitz heard as he left.

"Sir, we just confirmed it. The chief is on his way up to the Darkline." The communication officer says. "Hang on, we got an encrypted message incoming from the Darkline. The…prisoner…is…a…jedi."

Ridley narrows his eyes as he watches the spectacle. "Great, now we have another party interfering."

"I haven't really read up on the Jedi. You mind bringing me up to speed?" Spike asks.

Ridley sighs, feeling a headache coming on.

Blitz docks the Darkstar into the Darkline, feeling weird without Minerva being in the ship with him. "I'll give you some time Minerva, don't you worry." He said getting out of his seat and heading down to the ship and sees more security than normal. "Who do we have?" He asks Rough Rider.

"Don't know for sure. But I'm told it is a she and an alien I haven't seen yet." Rough Rider says.

"Got it." Blitz says putting on his helmet.

"So what is with the small cape on your shoulder?" Rough Ride asks.

"Symbol of rank simply. Formal dress for the armor. Felt appropriate, considering." Blitz says.

Rough Rider only nods and leads him to the prison sector and they come upon a lot of guards at the doorway of the cell which housed someone just sitting down. "Alright, who is it?" Blitz asks.

"She won't give her name. She demanded to speak to our leader sir. But she had this." A mandalorian says holding out two lightsabers. A normal one and a short one.

"I see, so the jedi are investigating, but I wonder why news of the battle is being kept a lid on and even the informing of the species moving into space fairing is only known to the highest levels of the alliance." Blitz says thinking out loud.

"What do you want us to do with the prisoner?" The guard asks.

"Take these and secure them and only two guards remain. I will speak to her myself, but increase security to all nearby sections of the ship and set your weapons to wide burst mode or get shotguns or shotgun like weapons." Blitz says.

The guards all nod and starts to leave with the weapons and soon only Blitz and two guards were left as Blitz walks in as the electrical door sealed itself behind him. "I thought I recognized those things."

Ahsoka smiled as she looks up and quickly moves over and grabs his ears before stroking them. "Still cute ears."

"It's been a long time Ahsoka Tano, still a padawan?" Blitz jokes as he removes his helmet.

Ahsoka nods. "Yeah, still working on my life. But what about you? I haven't heard from you for a long time."

"Going on to eight years now." Blitz says.

Ahsoka raises an eyebrow. "Really, that long? Guess I haven't kept track that much. Though, what has been happening since we left each other?"

"Well I continued on my path and in the last two years, Mandalore assigned me to lead a new clan and watch over this area as it progresses into the next stage." Blitz says taking a seat.

Ahsoka nods. "Well, I'm sure you can guess as to why I'm here." She said sitting down as well.

"How did the jedi learn we were here?" Blitz asks.

Ahsoka just looks at him and crosses her arms. "Really, that's your idea of why we got involved? Come on, where's the great Cross mind?"

Blitz tilts his head. "Then what are you here for?"

Ahsoka leans forward. "Why don't you figure it out yourself?"

"You and your jedi ways. I still don't understand them and I still don't like jedi in general." Blitz says levitating his helmet onto the table.

Ahsoka narrows her eyes. "The jedi are doing what is right."

"Look, let's not get into that argument again. We just met after all this time." Blitz says.

Ahsoka sighs and leans back. "Sorry, now why don't you guess again? You get two more chances."

"Is it because of the recent space pirate attack and by that, I mean those that belong to the faction Ridley is in?" Blitz says.

Ahsoka smirks. "Try again."

Blitz goes silent and starts to think, tapping his hoof against the table.

Ahsoka just props her head against her arm as she kept watching him trying to think. "Well?"

"Don't tell me the force is trying to play matchmaker with us." Blitz says in a tone that Ahsoka couldn't tell was serious or a joke.

Ahsoka meanwhile got a slight blush. "No and you are out of chances. We picked up a dark user from here. I've been sent to find that being."

"I see. Force related stuff." Blitz says leaning back.

Ahsoka nods as she relaxes a bit. "So…want to give that being over?"

"I'm not fully sure there is such a being here. I mean, it is possible with there could be a force sensitive individual on the planet." Blitz says thinking it over.

Ahsoka tilts her head. "Then would you allow me to search the planet?"

"That is also a touchy subject. The leaders of this planet just agreed to work together to make the next step in their development not an hour ago. Besides, we aren't in the republic and you are an alien to the species itself. It goes without saying, things are very delicate as a war was recently settled with the natives." Blitz says.

Ahsoka narrows her eyes slightly. "Then how would I find the being?"

"You sure it is a force sensitive being? I mean, after seeing what I could do, you wanted to drag me off to your jedi council." Blitz says a little humorous.

Ahsoka blushes. "I thought you could use the force. Can you blame me?"

"Turns out that my powers are in everyone of my species sub-breed. If it is on how can you be so sure they aren't just a normal one of my species?" Blitz asks.

Ahsoka raises an eyebrow. "Well, we picked up a dark side of the force from here. Any ideas?"

"It's a big planet and it's not like we can just take blood tests for it." Blitz says.

"What happened to you Cross? You are a lot mouthier than last I saw." Ahsoka says smiling.

"Yeah, yeah, and you are more composed and mature. You ditch wearing just that tube top and you said what was it again? Oh yeah, I had to get that stick out of my ass and lighten up." Blitz says smirking.

Ahsoka rolls her eyes. "I like this thing. Besides, you never did get that far with me. So you don't have any idea what so ever?"

"Three things wrong with that one. You're a jedi and I'm a mandalorian, second, completely different species, and finally, Jedi can't have attachments." Blitz says the last one more soberly than the other two.

Ahsoka frowns a bit as she looks away. "Look, just get me close enough to the planet and I'll find the being."

"You realize now that you have seen all of this, I can't let you report back to your council for sometime." Blitz says.

Ahsoka looks slightly back at him. "Then what are you going to do?"

Blitz sighs. "I have no choice, but to take you down to the planet itself. There are only two places on the planet that have the capability of intergalactic communications without rerouting through one of the ships in orbit." Blitz says.

Ahsoka sighs. "Fine. Just don't forget to remember like last time."

"You realize why I can't let you report back, right?" Blitz asks.

Ahsoka sighs. "Yeah, the many possibilities with this planet that may be false and possibly extortion."

"Especially from the republic especially as your master is so chummy with the supreme chancellor." Blitz says.

Ahsoka frowns a bit. "Cross, I think we're done talking."

"It's Blitzkrieg." Blitz says catching her off guard.

She looks over a bit. "Blitzkrieg." She said, testing the name.

"It's my name. Now come on, the Darkstar One is waiting." Blitz says.

Ahsoka sighs and gets up and follows him out as he puts on his helmet and he leads her out and to the Darkstar.

After they get there, Blitz gets into the pilot chair and powers it up. "Darkstar One, returning to the planet." Blitz reports as he separates from the Darkline.

Ahsoka hangs on as she watches him pilot the ship down to the planet. Trying to stay quiet for now as she kept her eyes open for the landscape.

"The planet is not your conventional planet. Because of the ability of my subspecies, things have developed in a whole different way." Blitz says.

Ahsoka looks over to him. "And you are telling me this, why? I thought you said I couldn't report back to them about this."

"You can't, at least not until the alliance has officially recognized us as a sovereign planet." Blitz says.

Ahsoka sighs as she turns back to the view as they come up to a base. "You know this would be like all those time after we separated."

"Our partnership was only temporary, we both know that no matter how much we bounded." Blitz says in a neutral voice, but Ahsoka felt pain from him through the force.

Ahsoka tries to calm down herself. "At least it was a good partnership back then." Blitz didn't reply as Ahsoka felt the pain increase. "Blitzkrieg…never mind." She said trying to keep her eyes on the view.

"We've landed." Blitz says getting up.

Ahsoka stares at him as he starts to leave before she follows him and he leads her to a small living quarter on the base. "This will be your room for now." He said as Mandalorians approached him asking about those ponies who had come there. "If they wish to join, let them. Also, tell the engineers to inspect the Darkstar One. I want a complete overhaul of it." Blitz orders.

The mandalorians nods as they deal with it as Ahsoka looks around. "So what are we doing while I'm here? I can't obviously stay in here for the whole time I'm here." She said.

"And I can't let you walk free and you will need a guide so you will be moving in with me while you are here." Blitz says.

Ahsoka looks at him. "What do you mean staying with you?"

"It's like I said. Look, I got to deal with a bit of political stuff and make arrangements. I'll explain everything later." Blitz says.

Ahsoka just watches as he leaves now and just leaves her alone in the room. "Well, this would be fun." She said to herself as she sat on the bed and started to meditate.

"I see the zebra tribes weren't the happiest that we wanted to mine there." Blitz says to the representative of the Zebra.

The zebra sighs. "Yes, we consider it a sacred area."

"I know where that one very important alchemist taught the ways of medicine to all of the tribes, but without that platinum, production will fall behind or the planet will have to go into debt just to get off the ground." Blitz says.

The zebra groans. "Try telling them that. The elders deal with areas like that and they are starting to get second thoughts. I tried telling them the advantages we could have, but like all old beings, they are stubborn."

"Then ask them this. Is that what the Alchemist would want, to jeopardize the future of the Zebras because of where she choose to teach all the tribes?" Blitz asks.

The zebra sighs. "I'll try, but you may need to find a backup if it doesn't work."

"I wanted to keep this a surprise by tell them we have already made plans to open an academy for the healing art in the Alchemist's name, a gift to the Zebra's for letting us mine the platinum." Blitz says sighing.

The zebra raises an eyebrow. "So then…"

"Make the argument what honors her memory more, letting the site remain as it is or following her example and teach all how to heal others." Blitz says.

The zebra stares at him. "Okay, this might work."

"I will leave it to you representative." Blitz says.

The zebra nods and walks away. "I'll see to it."

Blitz sighs as he ends the communication and walks off. Eventually he makes it back to the room Ahsoka was in and enters. He sees her just sitting on the bed as she meditates and he just goes over to the table and sits down as he waits for her.

"So…how did it go?" Ahsoka asks as kept trying to mediate.

"Aspirin needed. I really hate playing diplomat." Blitz says turning on the coffee maker in the room.

Ahsoka chuckles. "What do you think I have to go through at times?"

"Unlike you, I don't negotiate with a lightsaber." Blitz jokes.

Ahsoka smiles. "My master calls that aggressive negotiations. It works all the time with him."

"Yeah and he still has yet to be promoted to jedi master." Blitz counters resting his head on the table, waiting.

Ahsoka finally opens her eyes and looks at him. "You're really that tired?"

"I'm a hunter and a best field commander. This is not my specialty or my preference. I understand why Mandalore gave the job to me being a native to the planet and the inhabitants are more likely going to listen to me." Blitz says.

Ahsoka sighs. "At least you are getting them to work together."

"Come on, work faster." Blitz says growling at the coffee maker.

Ahsoka smirks. "I don't have to request another machine, do I?"

"That was one time and I still stand behind my statement, it was rigged to blow up." Blitz says.

Ahsoka rolls her eyes. "Sure it was." Ahsoka says, getting up and walking over to him.

Blitz didn't notice as he was too focused on the coffee maker. "So, you asked about me, what about you? What have you been doing?" He asks.

"You know…"

"Being a jedi." Blitz and Ahsoka say in unison.

Blitz chuckles as he said that. "Oh, how I wish we could have the classic hunt again, just so I can rest easy."

"Oh, speaking of the good old days." Ahsoka says smirking before starting to scratch his mane, freezing him up.

Blitz tries to look at her. "Cheater, oh, that feels good." He said leaning into her scratching.

"I'm probably the only one who knows about this, now, just relax, I will help relieve your headache." Ahsoka says smiling.

Blitz grins as he leans in more. "Maybe I don't need that aspirin."

"Maybe this won't be so bad after all." Ahsoka says.

Blitz could only lean more into it as the coffee maker beeps once, signaling it was done.

Fluttershy drops her plate causing all of the mares to look to her.

"Something wrong Fluttershy?" Rainbow asks.

"I sense a new rival has appeared." Fluttershy says cryptically.

They just tilt their heads at her.

"So why do you put up with all of this if you hate to?" Ahsoka asks now petting his mane on the bed.

Blitz sighs and adjust himself on the bed so he could relax without his armor on. "I guess because I have a sense of responsibility to my home planet even though I didn't really grow up here." Blitz says.

Ahsoka nods as she keeps trying to get behind his ears. "So that's all?"

"I have my reasons another is this way slavers won't be able to waltz right in and kidnap another one like me." Blitz says.

Ahsoka looks to him. "So you're doing it so no other has to go through what you went through?"

"If not worse." Blitz says.

Ahsoka smiled. "You're still a good person."

"Your jedi would disagree. After all, I have killed twelve of your order." Blitz reminds.

Ahsoka sighs. "How could I forget? But to me, you're always good in my eyes."

Blitz goes silent for a few moments before speaking. "I have always feared that one day we will come face to face on opposite sides and be forced to…" Blitz leaves off there.

Ahsoka nods. "Yeah, to tell the truth, I am too. Back then, it felt like you were there to keep me going. That is why you cut off communication with me, isn't it? You thought it wouldn't be as hard for both of us."

Blitz nods. "So it would to easier if it does come to pass."

Ahsoka sighs. "Your heart is just too kind sometimes." Ahsoka says.

Blitz smiled a little. "Can you blame me? I really like to keep others safe. Just those that deserve it of course."

"In that case, why did you kill those jedi?" Ahsoka asks.

"Simple, most Jedi are too arrogant and see the world in black and white. They think something is wrong or doesn't agree with them, they label them evil and something that needs to be destroyed." Blitz says.

Ahsoka just stayed silent.

"The jedi order has demonstrated time and time again they are bloodthirsty hypocrites who, if they don't commit genocide directly, let it happen." Blitz says.

Ahsoka stops scratching his mane. "And how did you come to that?"

"History. Your order has shown it time and time again. The sith empire, during the first hyperspace war. After they had defeated themselves, the republic didn't stop there. They and the jedi were furious that someone had dared challenged them and as such tried to wipe them out completely and planted the seeds for the second hyperspace war." Ahsoka just stared at him. "If you look to another world war on a certain planet, the world punished a single country for what it did and that lead to another world war because everyone was harsh to them, but instead of imposing harsh restrictions and bills on them, the republic and jedi decided on genocide." He continued.

Ahsoka had now stopped completely as she almost looks past him as if he wasn't there.

"Ahsoka, please don't tell me that the jedi were doing as ordered because like in the mandalorian war, the jedi could have sat back and not participated." Blitz says.

Ahsoka tries to speak. "I…wait, how do you know of this such details have never been given to the public. Heck, I doubt even members of the republican military knows of this."

"Simple, I have had access to the jedi archives once before I met you." Blitz says.

Ahsoka raises an eyebrow. "Once?"

"The code has since been blocked. I used the access code of the first jedi I killed. Back then, I wanted to learn more about the jedi through their own records. Little did I know, it planted a great hatred in me. If those records were ever made public, your order wouldn't survive long." Blitz says.

Ahsoka narrows her eyes slightly. "I know you Blitz, you would have done something else other than watch it."

"You're right, I would probably hunt a few of your masters and create a haven for some like you. The jedi order isn't all bad and there are parts that are worth saving." Blitz says.

Ahsoka looks carefully at him. "Really and where would I fall?"

"Before or after I skin the one who did it alive?" Blitz asks.

Ahsoka slightly hits his head, noticing the dark look in his eye. "I meant where do I go in your categories?"

"You are worth saving." Blitz says simply.

Ahsoka watches as the dark look goes away as he slightly looks away before she resumes scratching his mane. "You really know how to spin stories from our current ones."

"Like how the jedi know how to create enemies and do dark deeds in the name of 'justice'. Like in the recent war of the Kaleesh and the Huk. The moment the invading slavers come in, the Huk start to lose greatly and the Kaleesh about to go on the offensive, the Huk went to the senate and fabricated a tale that the Kaleesh started the conflict and the republic, without sending anyone to investigate, took the Huk's words at face value and sent a navy and a Jedi task force to intervene. Now with this new force set against them, the Kaleesh were being butchered to the last once more, leaving the republic none the wiser and proving the jedi are either blind or just bloodthirsty once more." Blitz says.

Ahsoka stops once more. "And what have you done with this information?"

"Unlike most, the Mandalorian forces have a good amount of informants and spy networks." Blitz says.

Ahsoka leans in a little. "I meant you. What did you do?"

Blitz looks up at her. "Didn't reveal it for one thing. Words of these things got out, the whole life of everyone will fall and we will have a galaxy wide war or maybe the universe if that was possible. I'm not dumb. Besides, your order would fall and the republic would be next for without the order's help, the war will come to a quick close. As the sith has their own inside the military, the republic and jedi order is separated. You see the problem now?"

"So you fear the sith than?" Ahsoka asks.

"No, but I am wary of them as almost all are consumed by rage or hatred and betray everyone eventually." Blitz says.

Ahsoka tilts her head at him. "And us? How about jedi?"

"Most are so corrupt or blinded by your own arrogance that you can't see that your order is no longer what it was meant to be. Now you are fighting a war against those of the separatists. You can't even see that their complaints and anger is justified and the sith have used it to bring about your current situation." Blitz says. Ahsoka stops as she thinks about it. "War has its own life. It's not something that can be controlled that well. You always end up on one side and see it as good while the other is bad. You still have yet to see it haven't you?" Blitz asks.

Ahsoka looks carefully at him. "What's that?"

Blitz lifts his head up and looks at her. "See why this war is happening by looking at the other side and then check yours again. After that, make your two choices."

Ahsoka frowns. "Why can't there be three?"

"Because the sith have controlled the war from the start. As an outsider looking in, the alliance noticed several things off about it and unless one has been controlling it from the offset, then it makes no sense." Blitz says.

Ahsoka raises an eyebrow. "I thought you said two choices. Why did you say, outsider looking in?"

"Have you ever been sent to one side and told to obey it? I didn't. I got the choice to either or go on my own. Guess being antisocial helped with that." Blitz asks.

Ahsoka chuckles a bit. "You know, this is just like last time, you are starting to make me question everything again." Ahsoka says.

"That just speaks to my argumentative strength." Blitz says.

Ahsoka sighs. "Well, looks I have some digging to do when I get back."

"I will give you access to our communications just to check the jedi archives." Blitz says.

Ahsoka nods. "Thanks, but I wonder what will others say about me poking around?"

"It's not like the files are restricted. Just buried." Blitz says.

Ahsoka grins. "Then I better go dig it up."

Blitz waited for hours as Ahsoka read from the Jedi Archives, all the while, making sure she didn't communicate with anyone.

"So?" Blitz asks after she finished.

"Compelling, to tell the truth." Ahsoka said.

"Yeah, did you know the sith emperor in the second great hyperspace war, actually returned during it, after being supposedly struck down?" Blitz asks.

Ahsoka sighs. "Guess I do need to keep quiet, but there are still question unanswered."

"Do you remember the recent war I pointed out?" Blitz asks.

Ahsoka looks to him. "Yes, why?"

"Someone you know is a product of it." Blitz says.

Ahsoka becomes interested. "Who?"

"His name itself means despair." Blitz says.

Ahsoka becomes confused. "Well who could…" She stops as another meaning comes to mind. "Griev."

"He who grieves for the warriors and love he lost in his war with the Huk." Blitz says.

Ahsoka looks back to him. "So…the jedi order caused this whole thing? Leading up to now?"

"Not the whole thing. My digging discovered that his ship was sabotaged before taking off and he was then picked up by the sith forces, possibly Dooku himself." Blitz says.

Ahsoka frowns. "Could we have salvaged it?"

"Doubtful, unless one could go back in time and stop Dooku from leading the jedi strike force." Blitz says.

Ahsoka looks at him. "He what?"

Blitz chuckles a bit. "Yep, he was with you guys once."

"I know that, but…how long has he been a sith?" Ahsoka asks.

"That I cannot say, but…someone is trying to contact you. Answer but don't reveal anything." Blitz says ducking under the bed.

Ahsoka snickers and tries to cover her mouth. "This looks like something a daughter and a boyfriend would be dealing with." She said before answering the call.

"Ahsoka." Obi-Wan answers.

Ahsoka smiled. "Master, can I help you?"

"Have you found anything or anyone that has the clues of the dark side of the force?" He asks.

"Nothing just yet. In fact, I'm letting my ship calculate the best way to enter the atmosphere since there is no spaceport here and thought I would do some research into the history of the order and master, I came across something interesting." Ahsoka says.

"Oh really and what is that?" He asks.

"I was looking around military operations the jedi were involved in the previous years before the clone wars started and during the intervention of the war between the Huk and the Kaleesh. A name came up I think you know well." Ahsoka says.

He leans a bit closer. "And what name is that?"

"General Grievous." Ahsoka says.

Obi Wan narrows his eyes at her. "And just where did you find this information?"

"Here I'm sending you the page now." Ahsoka says sending a page which contained names of the commanders in the war. "Take a look at who the Kaleesh named their general."

Obi Wan takes a look at the names. "Unbelievable. Now I have to take a look at the old wars myself."

"Master, does this mean the jedi created its own worst enemy?" Ahsoka asks.

Obi Wan sighs. "If this is true, then we might have made our own war against us. It can happen if all the old information is true."

"I wonder how the council missed this." Ahsoka asks.

"Our archive is different than theirs, more on the financial side of things than who fought." He said.

"Maybe we should strive to keep better records of such things ourselves, lest we start to fall to the dark side like our forbearers who tried to commit genocide on the sith in the first hyperspace war." Ahsoka says with a sorrowful voice.

Obi Wan watches her carefully. "Well, find the dark user and come on back as soon as possible. Try to stay quiet, unlike last time."

"I still blame master for wanting to blow up the factory." Ahsoka says.

Obi Wan chuckles. "Yes, he does have his style. You still need to develop yours however."

"Understood master." Ahsoka says before Obi-Wan signs off.

"Nicely done." Blitz says coming out after she turned off her communicator.

Ahsoka shrugs. "It's simple when I follow my master's example."

"Your master, I read up on him. He is very skilled but he is also arrogant. That will cost all of you in the long run." Blitz says.

Ahsoka sighs. "He's also still leaning."

Blitz was about to say something, but he bites it back. "Look, I can't let you have free roam as you are an alien to the planet, but you conduct your search with me." Blitz says.

Ahsoka nods. "So when do we start?"

"Not for a while. I'm going to my summer home after I rest." Blitz says hopping onto the bed.

Ahsoka raises an eyebrow. "So where do I sleep?"

"We are sharing a room like back then." Blitz says.

Ahsoka sighs and lays down on the other side of the bed. "Don't hog the sheets like last time."

"What, I thought you were fine with little coverage?" Blitz jokes.

He only receives a hit on his side. "Shut up."

Blitz chuckles as he feels her get under the covers.

"We got the report on the escort. Done and they are heading back and gave us some of their excess cargo as also payment." A communications officer said as Spike kept staring at the radar map of all his ships.

"Good, have them filled up and ready to go for the next mission when they get back. For now, have them on standby. I got to deal with something." Spike said as he starts to walk away.

"No, no, you can't just eyeball it." Spike hears one of the instructors start lecturing as he passed.

He looks over and sees the instructor with a pirate with a collar around its neck nearby helping out as they taught some of the volunteers and soldiers the kingdoms sent over. "You have to really think. One misstep or bad timing for taking too long or even too short, will cost lives. Now again!" The instructor said as Spike walks in to see him teaching about finding weak spots on ships. "Ah, Lt. Commander." The instructor called him as some of the recruits looked surprised at what the rank for the one who walked in had. "Can I help you?"

Spike shakes his head. "No, continue on." He said with a small smile.

The instructor nods and turns back to the recruits to see a hoof up. "Yes?" He said pointing to the hoof.

"The engine?" He tried.

The instructor just stared before grabbing a ball and throws it and hits the head of the recruit and sends him down. "Your ship is dead and so are you. Again!"

Spike then stops by a gunnery chief lecturing some more recruits. "This, recruits, is a 20-kilo ferrous slug. Feel the weight. Every five seconds, the main gun of an Everest-class dreadnought accelerates one to 1.3 percent of light speed. It impacts with the force of a 38-kiloton bomb. That is three times the yield of the city buster dropped on Hiroshima back on Earth. That means Sir Isaac Newton is the deadliest son-of-a-bitch in space. Now! Serviceman Burnside! What is Newton's First Law?" The Gunnery Chief yells

"Sir! An object in motion stays in motion, sir!" The recruit answers.

"No credit for partial answers, maggot!" Gunnery Chief yells.

"Sir! Unless acted on by an outside force, sir!" The recruit finishes.

"Damn straight! I dare to assume you ignorant jackasses know that space is empty. Once you fire a husk of metal, it keeps going until it hits something. That can be a ship, or the planet behind that ship. It might go off into deep space and hit somebody else in ten thousand years. If you pull the trigger on this, you're ruining someone's day somewhere and sometime. That is why you check your fucking targets! That is why you wait for the computer to give you a fucking firing solution! That is why, Serviceman Flitter, we do not "eyeball it!" This is a weapon of mass destruction. You are not a cowboy shooting from the hip." Gunnery Chief yells.

Spike chuckles before sending the chief something from his omnitool. "I just got word. It seems that the gun and ammo is a bit faster. Must be some new equation system put in. That's another thing. You are going to be learning physics! And I will tell you this, its way harder than college shit itself."

Spike then walks past out of everyone's notice as he heads to the bridge where Ridley was. "I see you haven't left your fleet alone for a while." He said as he walks up to him.

Ridley shrugs. "I have other things to keep an eye on. Yours is still a small fleet so you can have a little off time or let it handle its own way for a long time."

Spike raises an eyebrow. "I hope that doesn't mean plan the next attack."

Ridley scoffs. "Please, I would never. Not when I could die at a moment's notice. I would rather I have some things and do some things that I never could."

"So you hearing some of the lectures going on with the instructors?" Spike asks.

Ridley chuckles darkly. "And loving the torture when they get a wrong answer. I may have come to your side, but I sometimes love a good misery."

Spike shakes his head. "I wouldn't even bother to understand your mind at this point. Want to join me for some lunch? You have been stuck here since everyone has got up."

Ridley holds up an empty bag. "Already had mine here. Why don't you go on? I'm sure your mate is waiting." He said with a smirk.

Spike huffs as he sends some wicks of flames out of his closed mouth. "She's not my mate…well…not yet." He said to himself as he starts to walk to the mess hall.

Grabbing some food and sitting down, Slender walks over to him after getting hers. "So, how did your mission go?" She said as she takes a small look around and notices most of those eating are recruits.

Spike shrugs. "Finished, got paid and got a little extra cargo. I'll tell ya, escort missions are the worst, no matter where it is."

Slender giggles as some recruits casually sit down at their table. "Can you believe that guy? Thinking we don't know much about flying." A pegasus said, barely noticing the rank Spike had on his coat which had a similar look to the recruits'.

"Well we don't know about flying in space." One says as he just kept looking out the window.

A griffon huffs. "Come on, what's so hard? Besides, we got gravity already on the ships. What's the harm in it?"

The pegasus points his fork at him. "I'll tell ya, he thinks we're know nothing's who don't even know the ground style. We have been flying since we were foals."

"And then the power goes out or something hits the drive and the gravity gets turned off. Soon you are floating in space and of course you can use your wings, but you be would like a fish out of water going nowhere." Spike piped up.

The pegasus huffs as he looks at him. "And what do you know little tyke? Come on, tell me these classes suck when we could do it out there at least." He said motioning to the sky.

Spike blows on some meat with his fire before eating it. "I wouldn't know. I'm not in them." He said with his mouth full.

"What?" One asks.

"I was tutored on this stuff one on one before all of this was revealed to the rest of the populace." Spike says.

The griffon shakes his head. "That's impossible. The only one is that giant space dragon and a…little equestrian dragon." He said as he finally realized who it was. He then saluted. "Lt. Commander Spike!" He yells as he tries to stand up, but ends up banging his legs under the table and holds it in pain. "Ow."

Spike just throws a hard piece of meat that hits the griffon in the head and sends him toppling back as the others in the room stand at attention. "One, work on that. Two, you guys are all dead." He called out before everyone hears clicks outside the room and looks to see a line of mandalorians aiming their guns at them.

"He's right. Saluting may seem easy, but you forget that you will also salute during battle. You may be getting that one spot and time that stops your enemy and you miss with it because of it. I am not saying don't salute, I am saying, pay attention." The weapons instructor yells to the room.

"Ouch, even him." The pegasus says.

The griffon groans as he gets up and sits down again as does everyone else and the mandalorians leaves. "Okay, was not excepting the Lt. Commander to be here."

Spike huffs as he keeps eating. "You guys really don't get it, do you?"

The pegasus looks carefully at him. "Get what?"

Spike narrows his eyes at them. "The reason they are teaching you from scratch is because when you're out there, things can go anywhere and you won't have control. The reason they go so hard is because when you are entering that situation, you have to act fast, act hard and act accurately. One small misstep can cost you your life. Perhaps the lives that are on the ship with you and you could have prevented it. These teachings will save your life and many others, don't forget that part. I except you all to pay attention when you go back and really show them what this planet can do. I did, a little baby dragon made it this far, why can't grown pegasus and griffons do the same? Heck, why not all of us?" He said before picking up his plate and heading away while putting the plate near the trash bin. "Come on Slender."

"Coming." Slender calls as she does the same and follows him, leaving behind a stunned room.

Blitz starts to wake up groggy as he feels something holding him around his stomach. "Wha…oh no." He said to himself as he looks down and sees a certain arm. "Okay, I can get…okay I can't." He said to himself as the arm tightened around him. "Ahsoka, time to wake up." He tries to call to her.

Ahsoka moans a bit. "Cute ears." She mumbles.

"Ahsoka, wake up, your daughter was just born." Blitz says snickering.

Ahsoka snorts as she quickly got up. "What?!"

"Could you let go now?" Blitz asks now off the bed completely as she was still holding him.

Ahsoka looks to him before blushing and letting him go. "Sorry."

"Starting to think you like me a lot." Blitz says groggily and feels around for the coffee maker all the while putting on an amusing show for Ahsoka.

Ahsoka was still blushing, but almost snickered at his attempts to get some coffee. "Can't use a syringe like last time?" She asks, trying to hold her laughter.

"I was made to swear off those. Now where are you?" Blitz says.

Ahsoka now giggles as he reaches for the toaster and puts his hoof inside. "OW!" Blitz yells as he pulls his hoof back. "That is definitely not the coffee."

"Here, let me help." Ahsoka says walking over and getting it.

Blitz groans as he walks over to her. "Thanks. I haven't slept well enough in a while anyway, so forgive me if I blow something up by walking near it."

"Can't be any worse than when you got glitter all of your pillow that one time." Ahsoka says chuckling causing Blitz to grumble.

Blitz sighs. "That was because of that merchant. I didn't know it got stuck on me."

"Really, I thought it was your subspecies equivalent of wetting the bed." Ahsoka says snickering.

Blitz blushes. "No it's not."

Ahsoka grabs the two cups and bends down and pokes his horn. "Yeah it is. Right here, isn't it?"

"Why you…" Blitz stops, taking a deep breathe.

"So why not sign up to fight in the war with us as a mercenary?" Ahsoka asks.

Blitz stays quiet.

Ahsoka watches him carefully. "You don't want to, do you?"

Blitz takes the cup. "It won't be any different than what it is now."

"At least you would be there with me." Ahsoka says.

Blitz frowns. "But it won't be any closer. As much as we want it to be."

"I know, but at least we would be better off and Rex would have someone who appreciates coffee like him." Ahsoka says smirking.

"Yes, together we will expand the church of coffee!" Blitz says in an overly dramatic way.

Ahsoka giggles before realizing another meaning. "Let's say, in a hypothetical world, I left the order, would you take me in?"

"Faster than the jedi would give up on you." Blitz says.

Ahsoka smiled as she starts to drink. "You really want to take care of others that are close to you, don't you?"

Blitz smirks as he takes a sip. "Of course, I take care of all my friends and family."

"Oh, proposal accepted." Ahsoka joked causing Blitz to spit out his coffee and choke.

Blitz pounds his chest a bit. "What?"

Ahsoka smirks. "Didn't you just propose, didn't you?"

"Your screwing with me, aren't you?" Blitz says blushing madly.

Ahsoka chuckles. "Oh yeah, I knew you were kidding. It's nice to talk normally than just the talk about how something is the whole time and nothing else."

Blitz nods as his blush goes down and he tries to drink. "Yeah, how's your meditation go?" He asks mockingly. "Did you do your multitasking training?" He asks again in the same tone.

Ahsoka rolls her eyes. "At least I'm past that area now. Just from time to time."

Blitz sighs. "Good, it got annoying back then." Blitz says taking another sip

Ahsoka nods. "Yes, now, how would you like to screw?" She asks with a smirk.

Blitz spits out his drink again and coughs.

Ahsoka laughs as he pounds his chest again. "Kidding Blitz. Just messing with you."

Blitz glares at her. "I hate you."

"I know. I find you adorable too." Ahsoka says.

Blitz grumbles as he blushes and looks away. "Dang it Ahsoka."

"Oh come here." Ahsoka says picking him up and pets his mane.

Blitz blushes a bit more as he was carried. "I'm not a foal here. Put me down now."

Ahsoka shakes her head and keeps petting him. "Nope, you're getting petted and you will like it."

"What are you, my wife?" Blitz asks smirking, noticing she stiffened a bit.

It was Ahsoka's turn to blush now. "Um…"

"Put me down."

"Putting you down." She said putting him down.

"That is what I thought." Blitz says.

Ahsoka frowns a bit. "Since when do you get so grumpy with this stuff?"

"I'm not grumpy and it seems I do the jedi mind trick better than you." Blitz says smirking.

Ahsoka kicks him slightly. "Don't go that far. I'm still the user here."

"And remember last time you tried it on me?" Blitz asks. Ahsoka frowns. "You will stop doing stupid things like this." He said waving his hoof in front of him before chuckling.

Ahsoka points at him. "Don't disrespect me."

"I'm not, I just demonstrated I'm not weak minded." Blitz says.

Ahsoka sighs and covers her face. "I hate you Blitz."

"I find you adorable too." Blitz says smirking getting a giggle from her.

Ahsoka sighs and looks to him. "I really miss you Blitz."

"And you're happy you finally know my real name now?" Blitz asks.

Ahsoka nods. "Yeah, it was getting awkward calling you Cross."

"To tell the truth, I nearly forgot what my name was." Blitz says.

Ahsoka smiled. "And what made you remember?"

"Minerva, my computer system's name, constantly telling me." Blitz says.

Ahsoka nods. "Well, it's good that the AI constantly used your name. It sounds cuter."

"Yeah, yeah, let's go to the transport ride to the house." Blitz says.

Ahsoka nods. "Yes, but can I have weapons back?"

"What do you think?" Blitz asks altering his voice to be a little more frenchy.

Ahsoka sighs. "Dang you Cross." She said playfully.

"Now all I need is a stupid moustache and a cat in my lap." Blitz says in the same tone.

"Ok, stop with the insulting fake accent." Ahsoka says giggling a bit.

"What, I didn't surrender fast enough?" Blitz asks.

Ahsoka groans. "Let's just go before you come up with more stupid ideas."

"Oh I thought you like that." Blitz says putting his armor on.

Ahsoka frowns. "Actually hated is more like it. That was bad."

"Oh, you're hurtin ma feelin now." Blitz says a southern accent coming out.

Ahsoka shakes her head as he puts the helmet on. "Yeah, you suck at it."

"Actually, that was my native accent. Was raised by farmers." Blitz says.

Ahsoka rolls her eyes. "Why am I not surprised?"

"Ironically enough was picked up by the fett clan of mandalorians. You know what that translates into?" Blitz asks.

Ahsoka looks to him. "What is it?"

"Farmers." Blitz says.

Ahsoka sighs. "Shouldn't we get going?"

"We are walking, aren't we?" Blitz say walking to where the Darkstar One was and sees the engineers at work. "I'll get my speeder bike and don't laugh like last time you saw me drive one." Blitz says.

Ahsoka huffs. "Please, you smashed yourself into a wall. How could I not laugh?"

Blitz groans as he gets his bike and leads it into the Darkstar with Ahsoka behind him. "Simple, don't laugh."

"You know, I just noticed this is a new ship." Ahsoka says.

"Was a prototype I stole years ago, ok?" Blitz says.

Ahsoka smiled. "It looks good."

Blitz sighs as he gets on the speeder bike. "Yeah, still not the same yet. But it will be soon once we get back."

Ahsoka leans on the seat. "And what's that?"

Blitz grins. "You'll see." He said as they are dropped onto the ground and take off.

"Now which one is the carrot?" Twilight asks with three cards in front of Arcane, each with a different picture.

Arcane looks at each one before pointing to the middle.

"That's a cow Arcane sweetie, try again." Twilight says nuzzling his nose.

Arcane keeps looking before pointing to the left.

"That's right." Twilight says smiling.

Arcane cheers and hugs her leg.

Twilight smiled and hugs him back as Applejack walks up. "Come on Twi, let him learn at school."

"I can teach my son if I want, isn't that right my smart little foal?" Twilight asks before nuzzling him again. Arcane giggles and tries to nuzzle her back. "See, he likes it."

Applejack sighs. "Oh brother. At least give him a chance in school."

Twilight rolls her eyes. "Fine, just for social reasons."

Applejack chuckles. "Yeah, social."

"Now Arcane, which one is an apple?" Twilight asks bringing out three new cards and Arcane picked the wrong one.

Applejack smirks. "Still want to send for social reasons?"

"He is a foal who just started. Now Arcane, try again." Twilight says sweetly and he points at Applejack.

Applejack laughs out loud. "Oh boy. He's right on that one. He's an Apple alright." She said while laughing.

Twilight says nothing and hit her in the face with a pillow using her magic.

Applejack was still laughing as Arcane giggles and claps along. "Oh boy. That was a bad question with an Apple in the room Twi. Now I got to get Blazer his medicine." She said getting up and walking away.

"How is he? Still fighting that cold?" Twilight asks.

Applejack nods. "Yeah, probably from trying to hear us at night and not sleeping. I told that boy to sleep, but does he listen, nope. At least he's able to sleep now. I should probably give him a stuffed animal too. He's starting to talk to his knives and actually sleep with them."

"Ok, that is unhealthy an…" Twilight starts before Minerva interrupts.

"Oh, he does that too?" Minerva asks.

They all look at her. "What?" The mares asks.

"Oh, Blitzy did that all the time when he got a new weapon." Minerva says.

The mares just either get confused or annoyed. "Really?" They asked.

Minerva giggles. "Oh yeah. Treats it like his own foal."

Applejack facehooves. "Blazer better not be following that example."

"I think he already is." Pinkie says bouncing through with Sunshine.

Applejack shakes her head. "Oh boy. Can we at least find a way to deal with that?"

"The best way is to let them grow out of it." Minerva said.

Twilight groans. "Somehow, I don't think that's possible with this family. It's always crazy."

"Ok, I'll be with Blazer." Applejack says.

Twilight sighs as Arcane gets on her head now as she gets up. "Okay, I think this calls for some food." She said starting to walk to the kitchen. "Minerva, want something?"

"Nothing really, though I maybe should inform you of…but then again Blitzy might want to inform you himself." Minerva says before starting to ramble.

Twilight tilts her head. "Inform us of what?" She asks herself before heading into the kitchen and places Arcane on the table. "Wait here while mommy gets you something, okay?" Arcane just nods and kisses her nose. Twilight giggles and kisses his head before looking around for anything.

"No Ahsoka, we cannot stop by one of the settlements. We are cloaked and the citizens are mostly not ready to see an alien yet." Blitz says.

Ahsoka frowns. "Come on, where's that rule breaker Cross go to from way back then?"

"You want the local to come at you with pitch forks and other farming equipment?" Blitz asks

Ahsoka shakes her head. "Nope, had enough with a planet me and my master crashed on."

"Yeah, I thought as mu…what?" Blitz asks.

Ahsoka looks at him. "What?"

"Go back, what was that about you being attacked with farming equipment?" Blitz says.

Ahsoka tries to look innocent. "Well, they mainly hated violence until the droids came over. Their lives went out the window with that."

"Following you?" Blitz asks.

Ahsoka shakes her head. "No, accidental warp."

Blitz looks at her intently. "Ahsoka, what is one of the saying of the jedi?" Blitz asks.

Ahsoka chuckles nervously. "Um…don't lie?"

"There are no coincidences, there is the…" Blitz stops.

Ahsoka sighs. "Okay, the clankers just came down to the planet for a testing of their new weapon. Kinda destroys a large part of the land by fire. They didn't even know we were there."

"So?" Blitz asks.

Ahsoka stares at him. "You think our good friend, the force, lead us there?"

"I'm not saying anything." Blitz says.

Ahsoka shakes her before watching the landscape pass by. "Blitz?"

"Yes?" Blitz asks.

Ahsoka takes a glance at him. "Do you wish…that things were different?"

"What, you think of defecting?" Blitz asks.

Ahsoka shakes her head. "No, I really can't. But do you wish it was different?"

"…Maybe." Blitz says after staying silent for a while.

Ahsoka watches him for a bit before sighing. "So do I."

"We are heading for trees, watch your head." Blitz says.

Ahsoka ducks down as he keeps riding. "Sometimes…I guess it's better to leave."

"So you contemplating the order?" Blitz asks.

Ahsoka sighs. "It's starting to get closer."

"This from my argument?" Blitz asks.

Ahsoka stayed silent for a bit. "And my own thinking over time."

"Things not as simple as you once thought?" Blitz asks.

Ahsoka nods. "Yeah, really worried about what the others might think of me at this point. I'm really trying to figure out why."

"Do what you think is right. If they look down on you for it, than they are not worth it." Blitz says trying to comfort her.

Ahsoka looks carefully at him. "And you? What would you think?"

"It's your life, you should choose how you want to live." Blitz says.

Ahsoka nods. "Yeah, still…it feels like something is still there."

Blitz stays silent as he keep driving until a cottage like building starts to come into view.

Ahsoka looks ahead and sees it. "Huh, kinda considered mud huts for some reason."

"We are starting to go into space, you really think we would have those?" Blitz asks.

Ahsoka smirks. "I have seen places built into rocks and still have high end space travel."

"Point taken." Blitz says stopping beside the house.

Ahsoka looks to the house. "So who's here?"

Blitz shrugs as he gets off. "How would I know? I'm just the advisor and helper."

"I don't even need the force to call bull on that." Ahsoka says before picking him up and holding him like a stuffed animal again.

Blitz frowns as he sighs. "Okay, this is getting problematic now. I can't teach you or do my job if you keep picking me up."

"I'm carrying because of two reasons. One, you lied to me. Second, you are just too cute when you are pouting like this." Ahsoka says smirking.

Blitz just crosses his forelegs and frowns at her. "Put me down, now."

"Nope." Ahsoka says before walking up to the door and knocking and going back to petting him.

Blitz groans. "Okay, I would really like it if you put me down, because it's a bad idea at this point. You won't know how the ones inside may react."

"Oh, my curiosity is peaked." Ahsoka says as someone approaches the door.

Blitz faces hooves as the door opens and Fluttershy opens the door. "Ye…AH!" She yelled as she saw what was holding Blitz and immediately turned to Flutterbat. "Let him go!"

"Flutter, it's ok. She is an old friend who likes to hold anything she finds cute like this." Blitz says annoyed.

Ahsoka just eyes the fangs. "Should I be worried?"

"No, unless you are an apple…wait, that came out wrong." Blitz says noticing the look in Fluttershy's eyes.

Ahsoka looks a bit confused. "So what are we doing here exactly?"

"You are staying here so I can keep an eye on you." Blitz reminds.

Ahsoka smirks a bit. "So where do I put you down?"

Blitz still frowns. "Couch."

Ahsoka smiled as she walks in and sits down with him in her lap now. "Okay, now what are you going to do?"

"Other than humiliate me?" Blitz asks.

Ahsoka keeps petting him. "Yeah, so what are you going to do?"

Blitz was about to say something when he hears a coo and looks down to see Arcane. Blitz smiled and lifts him up and into his hooves with his magic. "Hey there. How are you doing?" He asks tickling his stomach.

"Huh, who is that?" Ahsoka asks.

Blitz smiled as Arcane laughed. "My son. My good little son." He said nuzzling him.

"Son!?" Ahsoka says surprised.

Blitz smirks. "Did I forget to mention I'm married?"

"Yes!" Ahsoka yells.

"Wasn't originally my idea." Blitz says before starting to explain how he ended up married.

"So the female population is that much greater than the male huh?" Ahsoka asks.

Blitz nods. "Yep and I ain't complaining. Got a bunch of great wives and foals too. Along with an adopted one too."

"Pardon me love, but Blazer is down with a cold." Fluttershy says shyly.

Blitz looks to her. "Really, well how is he?"

Fluttershy scraps the floor with her hoof shyly. "In bed, talking to his swords now. Twilight thinks he's delusional now."

Blitz says nothing as he glares at the snickering Ahsoka.

Ahsoka tries to look innocent. "Hey, come on. You use to do it. How could I not laugh?"

Blitz grumbles as he mutters something as Arcane tried to imitate his expression.

Ahsoka chuckles. "Aw, looks who's trying to look like his father."

"Watch yourself, he is a prince." Blitz says.

Ahsoka smiled as Arcane looks at her and she pets his head a little. "Well he's a cute one."

"Not even a year old, unlike my eldest." Blitz says.

Ahsoka looks to him. "Eldest?"

"He is my second child." Blitz says.

Ahsoka just ends up confused. "How does that work out?"

"Arcane was born second, making him the second of my children." Blitz says as Arcane climbs onto Blitz's head.

Ahsoka frowns a little. "I meant your eldest."

"Well his mother isn't the same as Arcane's here." Blitz explains.

Ahsoka sighs. "Now you're confusing the heck out of me."

"Arcane's mother is named Twilight and my eldest's mother is named Octavia. He is an around half a year older than Arcane here by this planet's time." Blitz explains.

Ahsoka looks carefully at them. "You sure you told them everything?"

"They have met face to face and Twilight shares responsibility to raise Azure as much as Octavia is obligated to raise Arcane here." Blitz says.

Ahsoka still watches the. "I meant your life."

"They know quite a bit…" Blitz goes quiet.

"Some more than others." Fluttershy says meekly.

Ahsoka looks to her. "And what is he to you?"

"My husband, but to Applejack he was a cousin before her husband." Fluttershy says hiding partially behind her mane.

Ahsoka looks back to him with a certain look.

"Adopted and don't give me that look, I explained it to you." Blitz says.

Ahsoka sighs. "You are leading a strange life."

"Tell me about pot." Blitz says.

Ahsoka finally puts him down. "So what now?"

"I'm going to spend some time with my family. Now please let me go so I can go and see my adopted son Blazer." Blitz says.

Ahsoka smiled. "I just did." She said showing her open hands.

"You manipulative little…" Blitz stops as he secures Arcane to his head with his magic and jumps off.

Ahsoka smirks. "Be nice."

"I am to my children." Blitz says as Arcane hung on as he headed upstairs before Ahsoka turned to the only pony left in the room and smirked.

Blitz stops outside Blazer's room and knocks on the door.

"Come in." A tired voice said.

Blitz walks in to see Applejack and a sleeping Blazer. "Hey, you okay?"

Applejack nods. "Yeah, he just went to sleep."

"I see, that's good." Blitz says sitting next to her.

They both watch Blazer as he slept with his swords nearby. "How long have you slept with your guns?" She asks after a while.

Blitz lowers his head in humiliation.

Applejack chuckles. "I'm guessing a long time."

"He improved any Jackie?" Blitz asks.

Applejack sighs. "He seems to be getting better, but there are still some things he's going through. Sniffles, coughs, dry throat, simple things."

"I see. You have been feeding him meat like I told you to, right?" Blitz asks.

Applejack nods. "Trying. It's hard to feed him at the farm."

"Here?" Blitz asks as he feels her lean against him.

Applejack sighs. "Trying to get him here all the time, but I think its best he stays in the castle at this point. We can't keep doing it at the farm."

"That is fine, but you have to visit him every so often and be one of his mothers." Blitz says as Arcane coos at Applejack.

Applejack smiles as she looks at Arcane. "Still wearing the hat I see. And I will see to it that I'm like a mother to him."

"Good. Also we have a guest/prisoner." Blitz says.

Applejack looks to him. "Oh really, who?"

"A jedi. So she is an alien." Blitz says.

Applejack looks carefully at him. "So you know her?"

"Remember, I told you about a certain jedi?" Blitz asks.

Applejack tilts her head. "So you just left her in a cell somewhere?"

"She is downstairs. We struck an accord. She searches for what she was sent to search for and in exchange, she doesn't try and contact her order and inform them of this. Because if that happened, the republic and separatist will try and pull us into their war as our system is very resource rich." Blitz says.

Applejack sighs. "Just try and keep her away from the foals."

"Too late, she already petted Arcane." Blitz says.

Applejack shakes her head. "Oh boy. Now I really have to watch her." Blitz grumbles again. "What did she do to you?" Applejack asks now smirking as she knew that tone.

"Nothing." Blitz says.

Applejack chuckles as she wraps a hoof around him. "Oh Blitzy."

"No." Blitz says frowning.

Applejack nuzzles him. "Blitzy."

"No." Blitz says frowning harder.

Applejack shakes her head. "You are needing a hug Blitzy. Come on, give one here."

"No." Blitz says frowning even harder as Applejack's smirk grew bigger.

"Please shut up." Blazer moaned as he turned over.

"Sorry son." Blitz says patting his head.

Blazer moans as he tries to look at him. "Don't you guys every quiet down? It sounds like a megaphone in my ear."

"Don't worry, we will go and let you rest and we will be sending your lunch up soon." Blitz whispers.

Blazer nods and turns back around. "Get going."

"Alright, now don't kiss your swords goodnight." Blitz whispers as he gets Applejack to move.

Blazer just grumbles.

As they walked down the steps Applejack started to pry again.

Applejack nuzzles him. "Blitzy."

"No." Blitz says frowning again.

Applejack nuzzles him. "Blitzy."

"No." Blitz says now scowling on the couch as Ahsoka was outside petting Fluttershy.

Applejack chuckles and keeps nuzzling him. "You need to really talk more."

Blitz grumbles again as Twilight comes down the stairs yawning. "Morning everypony and…what or who is that?" She asks seeing Ahsoka.

Ahsoka smiled and waved at her. "Hello, Ahsoka Tano."

Twilight tries to wave back. "Blitz!" She calls.

"He's over here being adorable in his grumblings." Applejack says.

Twilight quickly walks over to the pouting stallion. "What the heck is she doing here?" She hisses with a real hiss at the end.

Blitz just glares a bit at Applejack. "Visiting or rather on a mission to find a dark magic user in a sense."

"It's the force. Please call it that, I don't want her to go on a rant about how they are different." Blitz says.

Twilight hisses. "Blitz, why here?"

"I don't want her out of my sight." Blitz grumbles getting Twilight curious as to why he is like that.

Twilight frowns. "And why is that? Why not a mandalorian?"

"Because she has a technique called jedi mind trick." Blitz says.

"Don't mind him, he is just pouting from something I'm trying to find out about." Applejack says.

"I am not." Blitz says.

Applejack pokes him. "Yes you are."

"No I'm not." Blitz says.

"Yes you are." Twilight joins in. Blitz frowns and just pouts between them. "Blitzy." They said poking him.

"No." Blitz says trying to keep a straight face.

"Blitzy." Ahsoka pipes up.

"No!" Blitz says.

"Oh, are you still mad when I carried you around like a stuffed animal?" Ahsoka asks.

Blitz frowns and sticks his tongue out at her.

"Well now." Twilight says smirking.

Blitz groans. "No!"

"Oh, wait till we tell the others about this one." Applejack says smirking.

Blitz rolls his eyes and sighs. "I'm getting tired of this."

"Welcome to marriage life." Twilight says getting Arcane to cheer for her by picking him up.

Blitz looks to him. "You're supposed to be on my side." He said poking his stomach.

"Well he is his mother's son." Twilight says sticking out her tongue.

Blitz frowns. "And he is my son as well."

"Well he's a momma's boy, aren't you?" Twilight asks before raspberrying Arcane's stomach.

Arcane laughs and giggles as Blitz shakes his head. "Does anyone have aspirin? I feel a headache."

"I got something better." Ahsoka says before scratching his mane.

Blitz sighs in relief. "A little to the left."

Ahsoka smirks as she had him.

The mares glare at her.

"The benefit of having fingers girls." Minerva says walking up

Ahsoka looks over as she kept scratching. "Ah Minerva. Nice to see you again. Though a body now? What took ya?"

"The price and finding a good manufacturer." Minerva says.

Ahsoka raises an eyebrow. "So?" She asks pointing to Blitz.

"I spent most of the bounties Blitzy caught here to order it." Minerva says smiling.

Ahsoka looks to Blitz before looking at Minerva. "And how do you…?"

"This one has quite interesting powers, now, I am a cyborg." Minerva says.

Ahsoka raises an eyebrow. "Really, how much of it?"

"Sixty percent organic." Minerva says.

Blitz leans in more to the scratching. "Still haven't spent more time with her yet. Planning too though."

"Oh, I'm up for a ni…" Minerva is interrupted by Applejack.

"I'm next." Applejack says.

Minerva groans. "Dang it."

"Isn't that right love?" Applejack says leaning against him.

Blitz was still staring at Minerva. "Still debating." Applejack smacks him with her hat. "Joking." Blitz says.

Minerva smiled sadly as she walks over to him and nuzzles him. "Still want a night."

"Then take tomorrow's." Applejack says.

Minerva giggles. "I would like that."

"Whoa, you are so whipped Blitz." Ahsoka says smirking.

Blitz pushes her slightly. "Shut up."

"So you four are his wives, who are the rest if you four are not it?" Ahsoka asks.

Twilight shrugs. "Busy with other stuff. Not here now and some are traveling."

"She want to know the names girls." Blitz says.

Twilight started to list off the names that made Ahsoka stop at each one. "Wait, so you got three fangers?"

"Oh the irony." Blitz says.

Ahsoka looks at him. "I thought you hated and feared them?"

"That is why I said, oh the irony." Blitz says.

Ahsoka shakes her head. "You certainly do have a way with others."

"More like they are attracted to my sexiness." Blitz says striking a ridiculous pose.

They all slap him behind the head. "Shut up."

"Even Ahsoka isn't immune." Blitz says and gets forced pushed.

"Didn't they said to shut up?" She asks.

"Well at least Arcane found it funny." Blitz says as Arcane is laughing and clapping.

Ahsoka smiled and picked him up. "Ah, he's so cute."

"And Twilight there is his protective mother." Blitz says.

Ahsoka smiled. "Still cute." She said as he giggled.

Twilight growls at her as Blitz gets up. "Twi, can you have them prepare some cooked meat to go along with Blazer's soup. He could really use the protein." Blitz says.

Twilight hisses at her before leaving, leaving Ahsoka confused a bit. "Do you guys hiss a lot?"

"No, that is just Twi." Applejack says.

Ahsoka just looks at Blitz for an explanation.

"Let's just say that the galaxies records of the planets inhabitants are incomplete." Blitz says.

Ahsoka shakes her head at him as she kept petting Arcane who leans into the petting.

"And that is their prince, so try not to hurt him or the three hanging from the ceiling will try and attack you." Blitz says.

Ahsoka quickly looks up and stops petting as she sees blue eyes and insects chitter at her. "Wha…?"

"Changelings, an insect species of this planet that can shapeshift." Blitz explains.

The changelings chitter some more as they eye her. "Um…why here?"

"Because Twi is their Queen." Blitz says.

Ahsoka still eyed them as one was now crawling away and two more took its place. "They won't…attack me…will they?"

"Not unless you attack the King, Queen, or Prince." Blitz says.

Ahsoka looks at him. "King?"

"Well you call the husband of the queen that." Blitz say.

Ahsoka's eyes widen. "You're king?"

"Well, Twi became their queen after she married me so I became king as a conquincidence." Blitz says.

Ahsoka now just raises an eyebrow. "Really?"

"Yeah. Isn't that right Twi?" Blitz asks petting her.

Twilight hisses at her again.

"Twi." Blitz says shaking her a bit, getting her to stop hissing.

Twilight clicks her tongue. "Make sure she doesn't harm him and we would be fine."

"She not Twi." Blitz says petting her again.

Twilight purrs at his touch as she leans in a bit more. "Blitz?"

"Yes?" Blitz asks.

Twilight smiled. "Can you check on something for me?"

"What is it?" Blitz asks petting her more.

Twilight smirks as she look to him. "Check on the breeding chambers for me. I haven't heard from them in a while."

"Ah, I can't do that Twi." Blitz says blushing madly.

Twilight giggles as she wraps a hoof around. "Aw, don't worry. I know you won't join in anything."

Blitz face went a full blush at those words.

Twilight giggles some more. "Just go check on your subjects sweetie, okay?"

Blitz did the only thing he could think of at the moment and collapsed into unconsciousness.

Twilight sighs as she looks at him. "Still embarrassed over public style action."

"Twi, I don't think he will ever be ok with them." Applejack says.

Twilight grins. "I'm not. Besides, he like being in the same room as them one time."

"No, he likes being with you in a room." Applejack corrects.

Twilight giggles. "Yet he also likes sleeping with us with more than one at a time."

"But he can't take porn of any kind." Fluttershy whispered into Twilight's ear.

Twilight stares at her. "He took you."

"I tried to show him some of that to try to turn him on, this is what happened." Fluttershy whispered.

Twilight sighs. "He'll come around one day."

"Not likely." Fluttershy says.

Ahsoka just stared at them. "You guys are crazy."

"Comes with the terrioto…" Twilight starts.

"Blitzy I'm home!" Vinyl calls, kicking open the door.

Twilight points to her. "See."

"So which one is she?" Ahsoka asks as Vinyl walks in half drunk.

Applejack sighs. "Our usually drunk DJ wife."

"Who is a half vampire." Fluttershy says.

Ahsoka looks to Vinyl as she stumbles her way over to them. "What's up guys? Wear Blitz out again?"

"He's on the floor right there." Twilight says.

Vinyl laughs as she falls to the floor next to him. "Hiya Blitzy."

"He is asleep." Twilight says.

Vinyl groans. "Dang it." She said before snoring out loud.

"Push her into him." Fluttershy says.

They push Vinyl a bit and she wraps her hooves around Blitz as they slept.

"Pay up." Fluttershy says holding out a hoof.

Applejack grumbles as she gives some bits to her.

"And you?" Fluttershy asks Twilight.

Twilight hisses at her before giving her some bits.

"Thank you." Fluttershy says happily as they hear Octavia. "Really Vinyl, can't even help me get Azure out?" Octavia asks walking in with Azure closing the door behind her.

Twilight smiled. "Ah, good. You're here too."

"Yeah, so is Blitz baccccccccc…what is that?" Octavia asks seeing Ahsoka.

Twilight looks between the both of them. "Alien."

"Old friend of Blitz who Twi made faint and Vinyl collapsed onto him on the floor." Minerva says.

Octavia groans. "Dang it Vinyl."

"Arcane, look who is here." Twilight says bringing him over to Azure.

They both cheer as they run off and start to play together.

"Twi, please stop trying to do that with him. Didn't you learn anything from our wedding night?" Applejack asks.

Twilight huffs. "I just want all of us to have a good time. Together." She said stressing the last word.

"He had nine nosebleeds and fainted twice." Applejack says.

"I only fainted once." Fluttershy says.

Twilight blushes from embarrassment as Ahsoka giggled. "Boy, when did he become a lightweight?"

"He could barely talk to mares when he wasn't in his armor when we first met. Expect for Applejack, because he grew up with her briefly." Twilight says as Octavia looks over Ahsoka.

Ahsoka nods. "That would explain the stutter I heard from time to time from him. Even with armor on."

"Picture him barely able to talk to other females." Applejack says.

Ahsoka chuckles. "I'm female. He probably had a hard time even trying to come up with something."

"No, I mean if he didn't have his armor on around you, he probably would have been tripping over his words and everything." Applejack says.

Ahsoka still chuckles. "At least he's working on it."

"Yeah, he can at least show us a great night, but he can't take others doing that." Fluttershy says.

Ahsoka smirks. "Pity, he would probably have more fun doing that."

"No one is more disappointed than our most perverted member…Fluttershy." Twilight says.

Ahsoka looks to her and sees her hide behind her mane a little. "Um…?"

"Always the quiet ones. Like I bet there is someone on your jedi council who is a massive pervert." Vinyl says, making everyone nearly jump.

Ahsoka just watched her carefully. "Um…how long were you awake? And what do you know of the council?"

"Never went to sleep and I know because I researched you jedi." Vinyl says hiccupping.

Ahsoka just raises an eyebrow. "Uh huh."

"Now, I'm off to bed with my pillow here." Vinyl says dragging Blitz along as she walks off, swaying drunkenly.

Ahsoka just watches as she leaves. "That one is a few bottles short of a mind."

"No comment." The mares say together.

Ahsoka then looks to Fluttershy. "And what do they mean perverted?"

Fluttershy just pushes her hooves together as she blushes hot red.

"Ok, you can open your eyes now love." Vinyl says losing her drunken voice immediately.

Blitz sighs in relief as he opens his eyes. "If I have to keep using this trick, I might as well be making a brand new drug while I'm at it."

"Then Daring will beat you down." Vinyl says smirking, causing Blitz to chuckle nervously.

Blitz sighs. "Yeah, she would. And probably destroy the whole case and all the drugs she can find while she's at it."

"So?" Vinyl asks smirking.

"What?" Blitz asks.

"Where is my reward?" Vinyl asks showing her fangs.

Blitz groans. "Fine. Just let me get on the bed first. I have had a heck of a day." He said getting on the bed.

"I could hold you." Vinyl says smiling.

Blitz smiled as he settled down on the bed and Vinyl gets on herself. "I'm supposed to be doing that."

"Well you want to sleep." Vinyl says poking her nose to his.

Blitz shakes his head and boops her nose back with his. "I'm not now."

"Ok then, let me do this." Vinyl says mounting him.

Blitz chuckles as she leans down and starts to lick his neck. "Since when did you become so frisky?"

"Since I'm getting impatient even though I have Azure." Vinyl whispers before sinking her teeth in.

Blitz winces a bit before sighing and wrapping his forelegs around her. "Love you." He whispered back.

Vinyl just keeps sucking.

"I'm bored." Apple Bloom said as she leans on the windowsill like a ragdoll.

"Your punishment is not over yet." Big Mac says.

Apple Bloom groans. "Can't I at least have my omnitool back?"

"That is up to Applejack." Big Mac says.

Apple Bloom looks back at him. "Well what about Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo? Can't they at least come over once in a while?"

"They do." Big Mac says.

Apple Bloom frowns. "I meant with at least staying a while. Come on, Spike gets more time."

"Well y'all should have thought of that before runnin off without tellin anypony." Big Mac says.

Apple Bloom now really frowns at him. "Come on, what would you wouldn't do for your friend?"

"Told somepony first." Big Mac says putting up his load of apples.

Apple Bloom rolls her eyes and looks out the window again and stayed silent a bit as Big Mac started to cook something up. "At least he comes around once in a while." She suddenly said.

"Y'all think Applejack will come back pregnant this time?" Big Mac asks.

Apple Bloom shrugs. "Maybe, just give it time. Why? Want to be an uncle to the little one once it's born?"

"Nah, she just seems to be tryin hard at it." Big Mac says.

Apple Bloom shrugs again. "She was the second choose, what do you expect?"

"Ah, she is the second in charge you mean." Big Mac says.

Apple Bloom nods. "Yeah, in a sense."

Big Mac looks to her as she kept watching out the window. "Why don't ya help me? It may help once you are with somepony?"

"Like you and Soarin?" Apple Bloom asks.

Big Mac freezes up and blushes. "Um…nope."

"Uh huh?" Apple Bloom asks.

Big Mac frowns to her. "And what about you and that dragon?"

"At least I'm not gay." Apple Bloom mutters.

'She is definitely entering that rebellious age.' Big Mac says.

"So…you left to help a local dragon deal with emotional problems?" Rarity's dad asks Sweetie Belle.

"Yes." Sweetie Belle says getting poked by the needle as Rarity uses her as a model.

Rarity's mom looks to her husband before looking back at her. "Is he cute?"

"Don't encourage her." Rarity says.

Sweetie Belle frowns at her. "Hey, I will like who I want."

"Not on that. You are still grounded for worrying me to death." Rarity says.

Sweetie Belle huffs as she stomps a hoof. "You know that once I'm older here, I can go out how long I want. You can go however long you want and do you see me worrying that much about you? You don't even tell me."

"Actually I do." Rarity says.

Sweetie Belle frowns. "No, you say 'Sweetie Belle, I'm going out. Watch the store. Don't know when I'll be back.' That's what your excuse is always when you go somewhere, sometimes across the country."

"I give you fair warning. The only time was with the Nightmare Moon incident." Rarity says working on the collar.

Sweetie Belle huffs. "You really like not being worried, but you can make others worry like crazy."

'She has definitely entered that phase.' All three of the members of her family think.

Scootaloo grumbles as she sat down on the hill. "Alright, got the broad game." Rainbow said coming with a box.

"These two don't give you a break do they?" Scootaloo asks as Spectrum and Blast were climbing all over her.

Rainbow giggles. "They're my pride and joy. Of course they don't, but it's worth it. Right guys?" Both cheer and they make Scootaloo's wings extended. "You know Scoots, your wings have really developed. Perhaps you are ready to fly." Rainbow says.

Scootaloo looks to them. "I doubt it."

"I think they are. After all, look at Roidrage." Rainbow says.

Scootaloo raises an eyebrow. "I don't think I will."

"Oh really, I guess you won't impress Spike that way then." Rainbow says playing on her ego.

Scootaloo frowns. "I'm going to impress him a lot of ways."

"It's ok if you can't impress him with flying." Rainbow says egging her on more.

Scootaloo huffs. "I'm going to impress him and you'll see it's not just flying."

"I know, I know, but if you can't do it?" Rainbow turning around to not let Scootaloo see her smirk.

"I will show you. I will fly!" Scootaloo exclaimed.

'She has so entered that phase.' Rainbow thinks as the foals hugs her.

"I'm not sure which is better, the feeling of being drunk or the feeling of us making love." Vinyl says as she runs her hoof over Blitz's scared chest.

Blitz smiled as he rubs her mane. "Yeah, guess love is better, but sometimes it doesn't beat a good drink."

"You are the best ever." Vinyl says.

"Oh, then you don't want to share a drink with me later? I got a drink from trading with the alliance." Blitz says.

Vinyl looks up at him. "Oh, what kind?"

"Turian style brandy, but safe for us to drink." Blitz says.

Vinyl grins. "How's the taste?"

"Don't know, haven't tried it yet." Blitz says smirking.

Vinyl giggles. "Where is it?"

"Nuh uh, got to wait for me love." Blitz says.

Vinyl frowns. "For what?"

"For your brandy. After all, I want the full moon to be out tonight and us sitting outside enjoying the last night before winter sets in." Blitz says.

Vinyl hissed quietly. "That sounds good."

Blitz smiles and kisses her lightly. "Ok love." Blitz says.

Vinyl chuckles as she keeps stroking his chest. "You better get back out there. No telling what they are doing to each other."

"You mean how it has gone so quiet?" Blitz asks nibbling on her ear lightly.

Vinyl twitches her other ear at him. "Yeah, too quiet. You don't think Twilight killed her, did she?"

"Oh heck no. The house wouldn't still be standing if they fought." Blitz says confidently while pulling her tail playfully with his magic.

Vinyl hissed at him. "I don't think so. Twilight can be very careful with things, even fighting."

"But Ahsoka…yeah, not so much and she has a lot more power than you think." Blitz says seriously.

Vinyl points to the door. "Then why don't you go check?"

"Only if you come with me." Blitz says.

Vinyl groans. "Too tired. You deal with it."

"Oh too bad and here I had Twi pick up a load of cinnamon bread." Blitz says getting up.

Vinyl's head shot up. "Cinnamon bread?"

"Yep." Blitz says walking.

Vinyl quickly jumps out of bed and lands beside him and starts following him. "That sounds good."

"I know my wives. You sure your fangs were not replaced with sweet teeth in a reincarnation?" Blitz asks smirking.

Vinyl grins and hugs him and licks his neck. "I like one right here."

"Oh the corniness. If Octy ever heard that, she would never let you live it down." Blitz says walking out.

Vinyl rushes and catches up to him, but as they enter the living room, they find Ahsoka holding and petting Twilight who was enjoying it greatly.

"Vinyl, go crazy with your teasing." Blitz instructs.

"Aw, look at the little pony." Vinyl starts saying in a foal's voice. "Who likes to be petted, you are, yes you are." She said pointing.

Blitz stands just out of sight as Vinyl keeps going. He look around the kitchen and tries to find something to eat before a magical blast was heard and Vinyl was sent into the kitchen. "How many insults did you do?" He asks casually as he opened the fridge and tries to find some eggs as Vinyl's tail hangs in the way.

"Twenty three and totally worth it." Vinyl answers.

Blitz nods as he takes the egg carton out and moves her tail out of the way before closing the door. "Good, she can learn a bit of humility."

"Help me down please." Vinyl asks and Blitz used his magic to help her down.

Blitz smiled. "How and what do you want in your eggs?" He asks starting up the stove.

"Scrambled, like you did me." Vinyl whispers.

Blitz suddenly grabs her and bits her neck and shakes a bit before letting go. "Sorry, kinda wanted to do that." He said making some eggs.

"Oh I am so turned on now." Vinyl says smirking.

Blitz chuckles. "Good, but next time. For now, breakfast."

"Oh you tease." Vinyl says walking out.

Blitz stares at her flank as she walks away and actually sees her give a few extra shakes to him as he smirks. "And that's my wife."

"And the other one is here." Twilight says appearing on his other side and leans against him.

Blitz chuckles and nuzzles her. "Aw, did you like the petting?"

"Fingers are magical." Twilight says before kissing his cheek.

Blitz kisses her back. "Good, how is she?"

"She doesn't believe pegasus can control our weather." Twilight says.

Blitz chuckles. "Yeah, she thought my magic was her power. The force."

"Oh, I can't wait to see her reaction when we get one of the pegasus mares to do it in front of her. Fluttershy won't because she is too nervous." Twilight says.

Blitz shrugs. "I'm sure we would get that done. However, I still have to watch over her and make sure she doesn't cause a panic. So Twi, what do the changeling guards with Daring say?" Blitz asks as Twilight nuzzles into him.

Twilight smirks. "You knew they weren't the original guards I got, didn't you?"

"They got the eye color wrong." Blitz says smirking back.

Twilight sighs and shakes her head. "They say she is fine. And her foal is coming along well."

"There, there, my little pettable wife." Blitz says patting her head playfully.

Twilight frowns before lunging at him and pushing him against the counter. "Who's pettable now?" She asks about to pet him too.

"Who is the one Vinyl will never let it be forgotten?" Blitz says picking her up with his forelegs and holding her.

Twilight wraps her hooves around him. "At least I'm being talked about."

"Oh, you like how she will tell everyone of the mares that you were petted like a pet dog or cat?" Blitz says nuzzling her neck.

Twilight shivers. "Maybe, if it sends other mares to you."

"Oh, so you want to be petted by me?" Blitz whispers into her ear before nibbling her ear.

Twilight shivers much more now and starts to let her body weight fall onto him. "Yes, by you and treated like one." She whispered.

"Ok, I will pet you more my brilliant beautiful wife." Blitz whispers into her ear as he rocks her back and forth a bit.

Twilight moans. "I love you."

"Same here love." Blitz says setting her down before going back to cooking. As he does, he feels his tail being pulled a bit.

Twilight smirks. "I want mine pancake style."

"You mean sunny side up?" Blitz asks.

Twilight shakes her head. "I always let Spike do the cooking and he knows what I want."

"So you going to keep pulling my tail?" Blitz asks smirking at her.

Twilight giggles. "I wanted to try it."

"I would rather you stand by me." Blitz says as a song starts playing.

Twilight looks to the sound of the music before looking back at him. "Really?" Blitz just wiggles his eyebrows at her. She sighs. "Fine. Just put yourself in a dancing mood before I mop the floor with you." She said smirking.

"Let's see how much I have learnt." Blitz says as he puts the scrambled eggs onto a plate before grabbing Twilight and he starts leading her in a dance.

Twilight giggles as he starts moving around the kitchen with her in what she could describe as a classical way of dancing, but still stepping on her hooves now and then. "You're better than last time." She remarked.

Blitz grins. "I know." He said before hearing clapping from the doorway of the kitchen and sees Ahsoka leaning against the frame and watching them.

"Oh, don't stop on my account." She said.

Blitz dips Twilight back before pulling her back up.

"Wow, who knew he could dance without tripping." Vinyl said coming back into the kitchen and grabbing her plate. "Thanks love."

"One moment love." Blitz says letting her down before grabbing Vinyl and starts dancing with her as Twilight holds the plate and eggs with her magic.

"You dance better than a rave." Vinyl remarked.

"That's because I'm not drunk." Blitz says as he holds her close as they dance.

Vinyl hisses as she puts her head on his shoulder. "Since when did you gain a dancing mood?"

"Just felt like spending time with you girls. So Octy, when you going to speak up?" Blitz asks spinning Vinyl a bit.

Octavia leans around the corner. "Now if you want? Think you can dance with all of us?"

"I think Vinyl will allow you to cut in." Blitz says.

Octavia smiled as she quickly gets in and Blitz dances with them both or tries to.

"Not too bad, but I am definitely going to give you lessons later." Octavia says.

Blitz gives her a little kiss. "I really want to spend time with you girls, so yes. Shall I call you Mrs. Octavia?"

"You may." Octavia says as Azure walks in.

Twilight passes the plate to Ahsoka and picks up and holds Azure and dances around with him. "Your mother teaching you this?" She asks.

Azure reaches up and boops her nose with his hoof.

Twilight giggles and keeps dancing around as Blitz now had both mares against him. "I love you all."

"You going to join?" Ahsoka asks, looking around the couch.

"Um…I don't dance." Fluttershy said.

"Or are you just nervous around me?" Ahsoka asks.

Fluttershy looks up at her. "Um…yes."

"Oh really?" Vinyl says grabbing Fluttershy's hoof and drags her to the kitchen.

"Um…I really don't want to." Fluttershy said meekly, but let's herself get dragged.

"Blitzy, somepony is cutting in." Vinyl says as she switches Octavia for Fluttershy.

Blitz grins and chuckles as he leans close to her ear. "Hello pet." He whispered. Fluttershy smiles as she leans against him as she follows his lead. "So pet, what have you been doing without my permission since I've been gone?" He whispered.

"Watching the foals mostly." Fluttershy whispered back.

Blitz chuckles. "I know you're lying pet. Now tell." He said subtly pulling her mane a bit.

"Maybe I made out with Daring after hypnotizing her."

Blitz grins. "Naughty mare. You know what you get?"

"Punished by you later?" Fluttershy whispers.

Blitz smiled as he looks over to Vinyl. "Think you can help me? Just preparing her for a good run."

"I can't hypnosis her, I have tried." Fluttershy whispers.

Blitz pulls her mane and makes her whimper. "Come on Vinyl, you get to take a little revenge on her taking me first."

"No, I mean seriously. I have tried several times, it has no effect." Fluttershy says.

Blitz raises an eyebrow to Fluttershy. "Did I say you can speak now?"

"You asked me, didn't you?" Fluttershy asks being cheeky.

Blitz pulls her mane harder and pulls her head back a bit. "No. I was talking to Vinyl. Now quiet." He hissed before turning to Vinyl. "So…want to get revenge?"

"I already have plans for you lover boy." Vinyl says.

Blitz chuckles. "Yes, but she can take anything at this point. Maybe something from the both of us, what do you say?"

"We have company." Vinyl reminds.

Blitz smiled as he looks and sees Ahsoka still watching Twilight and Azure dance. "True, maybe somewhere private. Isn't there a cave nearby that Daring owns as well for when she has foals who wants to explore?" He asks Vinyl.

"Not sure about that." Vinyl says turning her head.

Blitz raises an eyebrow. "Really, then why are you looking away?"

"I'm not. Octy, did you know about this cave?" Vinyl asks her dancing partner.

Octavia smiled. "Well, after taking a little walk, I noticed a small cave. I think that might be the one."

"And you didn't tell me?" Vinyl asks.

Octavia shrugs. "I thought it wasn't important."

Vinyl hissed at her. "Thrall, you may be joining that washdown mare with us." She whispered.

"Oh Vinyl, didn't know you were so maleficent." Blitz jokes.

Vinyl hissed at him. "Shut it blood bag."

"Oh Octy, Twi, I think somepony needs to be petted." Blitz says smirking.

They both immediately rush over to Vinyl and starts petting her and makes her hiss a bit. "Blood bags." She tries to say.

"Oh, who is a cute pony who likes to get petted?" Blitz asks.

Vinyl glares at him. "I am going to suck you dry."

"Oh, that reminds me Twi, I have a little wager for you." Blitz says.

Twilight looks over. "Yes?"

"I bet I can disappear with no magic or any technology." Blitz says smirking getting all four mares attention.

Twilight huffs. "Yeah right. Go on my little colt."

"Oh, you don't think so huh?" Blitz asks.

Twilight clicks her tongue. "Yep, come on. What do you got that will be so bad?"

"Oh so you won't mind setting a few terms then? What do you want if you win the bet?" Blitz says.

Twilight thinks for a few. "I want you to have some fun with more than one of us for one whole day. Dates and all."

"And if I win?" Blitz asks.

Twilight looks carefully at his smirking face. "Then you can go off and do something on your own for the day then."

"Ok. I have a week to do so, sound fair?" Blitz says before laying on his stomach to be face to face with Arcane.

Twilight huffs. "Fine. Just remember our deals."

'Oh boy this ought to be interesting.' Ahsoka thinks.

Blitz chuckles as he rubs noses with Arcane. "Yeah, yeah. Just be ready to lose."

"What is this I hear about losing?" Applejack asks walking in.

Twilight looks to her. "Blitz here choose to challenge me that he could disappear without his tech or magic."

Applejack looks to Blitz carefully. "Y'all tryin to lose on purpose?" She asks.

"Oh no, I will win. Right Arcane?" Blitz asks holding up his hoof.

Arcane grunts as he jumps and smacks Blitz's hoof back and cheers.

"That's my boy." Blitz says smirking as Azure paws at Octavia's hoof.

Octavia giggles and holds up her hoof and lets Azure hit it. "Aw, you want to play with your little brother?"

"I think he wants his mommy to hold him." Vinyl says.

Octavia giggles and nuzzles Azure. "Aw, you want mommy to play with you? Do ya?" Azure seems to cheer at that. Octavia nuzzles him again. "Alright, mommy will play with you. Just let her give us some food, okay my little vampire?"

"Shouldn't they be hungry?" Blitz asks the thought dawned on him.

Octavia looks at Azure as he licks his lips and shows his fangs a little. "They should. My little one here usually wants some of his mommy's blood. Right Azure?" She asks tickling his stomach.

Azure giggles under her assault as Arcane start to whimper. "Oh, looks like someone is hungry. I'll be feeding him in the living room." Twilight says picking him up.

Blitz waves at him. "Be good for mommy, okay?"

Arcane waves back. "What did she mean by feeding him in the living room?" Ahsoka asks.

"Arcane isn't ready to be weaned off his mother's milk." Blitz says.

Ahsoka looks a bit confused until she looked at the other mares and then realized. "Oh, that. How long as Azure there been off?"

Blitz shrugs. "Still on, but he's changing to solid food now. No Applejack, I don't think he is ready for an apple."

Applejack pouts cutely. "Dang it Blitz."

"He is too young, besides he has fangs. No other teeth have grown in yet." Blitz says.

Applejack spreads her legs out wide. "Well how about apple juice or even some pie? Those don't require that much chewing."

"Juice yes, pie, not there yet." Blitz says.

Applejack frowns. "Apple Bloom ate her first apple at Azure's age right now."

"Octy, your thoughts?" Blitz asks.

"Oh, who is my blue genius? You are." Octavia says lifting Azure into the air.

Blitz chuckles as he looks back at Applejack. "That was Apple Bloom. This is Azure we are talking about."

"Overprotective." Applejack mutters.

"What was that?" Blitz asks.

Applejack waves him off. "Oh nothing. Nothing."

"Something about being protective." Blitz says pulling her closer with his magic.

Applejack clicks her tongue. "I hate you."

Blitz just smirks at her and wiggles his eyebrows where Ahsoka couldn't see his face.

Applejack just stares at him. "Yeah, I hate you."

"Oh, that isn't what you say all time." Blitz whispers into her ear.

Applejack still holds a frowns and moves his hoof slightly to point at Ahsoka where she couldn't see it.

"I know. I'm trying not to embarrass you." Blitz whispers.

Applejack moves her tail over his a bit before pushing him off and walks away with a frown on her face.

"See you later tonight, you sexy flank." Blitz says in a low tone that Applejack catches as she walks away.

Ahsoka shakes her head. "You got a weird family." Blitz opens his mouth to comment. "And don't do the pot and kettle line." Ahsoka finishes.

Blitz chuckles. "You know me so well." Blitz says before being lassoed and dragged away. "Well, there I go." He said being dragged past her.

"And my previous statement is affirmed." Ahsoka says.

Octavia giggles. "What was your first clue?"

"The white one." Ahsoka says.

Octavia just raises an eyebrow. "Not going to question."

"Octy, do we have any cider?" Vinyl asks.

"Yes, but it is locked away." Octavia says.

Vinyl frowns. "Poo." She said making Azure giggle.

"So Applejack, any reason you dragged me to your room?" Blitz asks cheekily.

Applejack smirks and pushes him against the wall. "Simple. I wanted to spend time with you."

"Really and asking is beyond you now?" Blitz asks, his smirk not faltering.

Applejack chuckles. "Well there is the fact in our family, when the wife wants something, she usually hogties the husband…or wife…and takes them away to somewhere they want."

"Well, all you had to do is ask." Blitz says using his magic to yank her tail.

Applejack yelps. "You bastard." She said smiling.

"Oh, then what if I do this?" Blitz asks as he used his magic to lightly twist Applejack's nipples.

Applejack eeps and backs off a bit. "Now you're a complete bastard."

"And?" Blitz asks before teleporting out of the lasso and beside Applejack.

Applejack stares at him before smiling. "The greatest cousin and then husband I could ever have."

"Let's drop the cousin all together, shall we?" Blitz asks hooking a hoof around here.

Applejack smirks. "Okay." She said before lifting him up and carrying him to the bed before throwing him to it, making him jump a little as he hits the bed.

"Oh, getting physical are we?" Blitz asks.

Applejack shakes her head. "Nope, just showing who's stronger."

"That is one point in your favor." Blitz says as she gets on the bed.

Applejack smirks. "I know." She said before hugging him.

"But I have one in my favor." Blitz says.

Applejack raises an eyebrow. "And what is that?"

"I have position." Blitz says flipping them both.

Applejack smirks. "Oh this will be good."

"Oh you shall see." Blitz says smirking.

Ahsoka sighs as she stands behind a pillar in the living room. "So…how much does he drink at times?"

"Till he is full." Twilight says using her wing to cover Arcane from sight as he feeds.

Ahsoka nods. "So how long have you known him?"

"Blitz, years now." Twilight says.

Ahsoka sighs. "How was he at first?"

"Nervous and tried to keep a low profile." Twilight says.

Ahsoka giggles. "How was he at that?"

"Pretty good, considering it was a small town which notices new ponies quite easily." Twilight says.

Ahsoka looks in her direction. "How small?"

"No more than eighty residents at most I think." Twilight says.

Ahsoka nods. "I see. Well how about new residents?"

"It is a rarity, even for new born foals like Arcane here." Twilight says lifting her wing to pet the feeding foal.

Ahsoka looks confused. "What do you mean?"

"Not much happens." Twilight says smiling.

Ahsoka shakes her head. "No, I mean Arcane. What did you mean?"

"Oh, he is an alicorn including myself and him, there is currently only five and he is the first male alicorn." Twilight says.

Ahsoka raises an eyebrow. "Five huh?"

"We are a combination of all three sub breeds. Pegasus, earth pony and unicorn." Twilight says.

Ahsoka looks back forward. "Huh. So what trouble would you have being this different?"

"Oh, it's that Arcane is the first one to be born in a long time and the oldest and former ruler of Equestria had a big problem with Arcane being a male alicorn." Twilight says.

Ahsoka looks over to her again. "What's wrong with a male?"

"She is kinda…well she was a little sexist. She tried to banish him for being a male alicorn." Twilight says.

Ahsoka just pauses a bit. "Banished huh? For being male? What was wrong with that?"

"Well his very existence threatened her superiority for being a female and an alicorn." Twilight says.

Ahsoka pauses a bit before realizing what she meant. "So if a male is born, he is a shoe in to be a sole ruler?"

"Well…no, it is just that she and everyone else thought alicorns could only be mares and that means they were superior. Which for several centuries, stallions were looked down upon here and treated differently." Twilight says.

"How were they treated?"

"Some were seen as mere objects to be bought and sold others were slaves. The pegasus stallions didn't take it well. That is why the pegasus were at war with the rest of Equestria for most of the centuries were stallions were treated lesser." Twilight says.

"Do you?"

"No. How could I if I treat my little Arcane so well? Mommy loves you so much my little foal." Twilight says smiling.

Arcane was still feeding as Ahsoka smiled. "Good, because I would have had to take Blitz away if you were."

"So like I was saying, when she tried to banish Arcane. Blitz didn't take it well and nearly killed her." Twilight says.

Ahsoka hissed. "Yeah, he would do that. What happened then?"

"The only reason he didn't was he didn't want Azure or Arcane to see it." Twilight says.

Ahsoka nods. "I see. Anything else then?"

"Want to join his little harem?" Twilight jokes taking Ahsoka completely off guard.

"Um…" She tries to say. "Well…"

Twilight starts to snicker. "Oh I got you." Twilight says trying to keep a straight face.

Ahsoka just blushes. "I never…well…he is cute." She whispered the last part.

"Minerva, please bring me my books. I have some research to do." Twilight calls.

"Yes ma'am." Minerva said walking past.

"Such a sweet mare." Twilight says.

Ahsoka watches as she walks past. "Huh, never thought she would ever become one of you."

"Magic." Twilight says getting a weird look from Ahsoka. "Force in a sense."

Ahsoka slowly nods. "I see." She didn't. "Do you hear that?" Ahsoka asks trying to change the subject.

Twilight listens as well. "Yeah, sounds like…oh Applejack."

"Huh?" Ahsoka asks.

"Oh nothing." Twilight says casting a sound proof barrier spell.

Ahsoka soon doesn't hear anything. "What did you do?"

"Nothing. Oh Arcane, are you full?" Twilight asks as Arcane let's go.

Arcane looks up at her before burping and then looks at her cutely.

"You can come out now. I'm finished feeding my little angel." Twilight says.

Ahsoka sighs as she comes around and sits down on the couch. "I'll say this, you guys are interesting enough. Between dealing with a ruler bent on destroying this little one and then future life with space mixed in, you must be having a wonderful life."

"It is interesting to say the least." Twilight says.

Ahsoka nods. "Yeah. If I was crashed landed here, I would definitely stay a while."

"Oh you don't really have much a choice do you?" Twilight asks.

Ahsoka nods. "Yeah, mostly traveling or in the temple. Not much fun when it's just meditation most of the time. Though my master certainly likes to keep things interesting with unorthodox ways of getting things done. That will certainly keep you awake."

"Ok, so random question, if you were a pony, which would you be?" Twilight asks.

Ahsoka looks at her. "Those questions huh. Alright, I think something like Blitz is."

"Oh, a unicorn, huh?" Twilight says making a mental note.

Ahsoka nods. "Well I still have to use the force somehow unless is transfers over seamlessly, then I need something close to it."

"I see." Twilight says. 'Well she will be a good member of the harem. All I need to do is turn her into a pony and then use Fluttershy to hypnotize her into being obedient.' Twilight thinks.

Ahsoka soon turns to her again. "Blitz told me you guys tried life in space. How was it?"

"It was weird." Twilight says jolting out of her thoughts.

Ahsoka chuckles. "I'm sure you and the rest will live there like its normal and you're on your home planet. Still, how would you like it if you lived your whole life in space?"

"Maybe, if I didn't have my position." Twilight says.

Ahsoka smiles. "Ah yes, princess." She said with air quotes.

"Queen actually." Twilight says.

Ahsoka looks at her. "Oh right, ruler of a species of bugs. Strange because I may have fought some bugs before. Wasn't fun. They turned the dead into zombies essentially."

"A, what? B, they feed off emotional energy." Twilight says.

Ahsoka looks at her. "It had a queen that controlled these worms which controlled the minds of even the jedi themselves. Could have been bad if it wasn't for one of my other master to bury the queen."

"There was always the alternative." Twilight says.

Ahsoka looks carefully to her. "And what is that?"

"Like Blitz says the first time he fought a timber wolf. Kill it with fire." Twilight says.

Ahsoka chuckles. "Yeah, of course he would say that…timber wolf?"

Twilight giggles. "A wolf made of timbers."

Ahsoka just stares. "I don't even know how to respond."

"Oh, the cockatrice turns other creatures too by looking them in the eyes." Twilight says.

Ahsoka still stares at her. "Um…I'm starting to lose you."

"I didn't believe it either until it happened to me." Twilight says.

Ahsoka looks her over. "So how did you get out of it?"

Twilight shrugs. "My guess is Fluttershy dealing with it and I followed. Now are you ready for a nap my little angel?" Twilight asks as Arcane yawns.

Ahsoka sighs. "You certainly keep Blitz and Arcane safe, don't you?"

"I keep Arcane safe, as for Blitz, well I can't control him, could you?" Twilight asks.

Ahsoka chuckles. "Nope, he left when I was asleep one time and he came back with a bad guy tied in a chair when I woke up."

"And?" Twilight asks pulling a blanket onto Arcane.

"He was about to start cutting off his horns for starters." Ahsoka says.

Twilight giggles. "That's him for sure. Let me guess, he was drinking coffee at the same time, wasn't he?"

"Actually no. The coffee is something he picked up the way. He says it's in honor of his late flight teacher Z.O.N.E." Ahsoka says.

Twilight just gives her a look. "Okay. That's something. Makes sense with every time he wakes up though."

"He used to use stims to keep him going after three days if he didn't sleep." Twilight says.

Ahsoka groans. "I thought I told him to take it easy on those things. How much did he do in one go of just being awake on stims?"

Twilight sighs. "At least a week until Daring stopped him and forced him to go to sleep. She hated that he was staying awake by those things. The last time was when he was almost out of energy and had to take a performance stim to deal with some monsters. Daring almost took it badly, but she knew what was happening after explaining it to her and by that I mean Lightning Dust."

"Actually love, she got mad I was using a sleep poison to get some sleep." Blitz says walking down the steps.

Ahsoka glares at him. "How many times have I told you to not take stims again?"

Blitz smirks. "At least almost a hundred times before we left each other."

Ahsoka shakes her head. "Dang it Blitz."

"Wait, how are you not an addict than?" Twilight asks.

"That is a mandalorian secret." Blitz says smirking before setting a stuffed animal in Arcane's grip and sets a pillow next to his head.

Ahsoka just gives him a look. "That basically means he drinks too much coffee."

Blitz chuckles as he pets Arcane. "Yeah, caffeine really destroys the process."

Twilight and Ahsoka just stares at him. "Don't do it again." They both said.

"Jeez Ahsoka, what are you, my wife?" Blitz asks.

Ahsoka blushes. "Dang it Blitz. Don't bring that up again."

Blitz smirks. "Aw, you don't want to remember that time Ms. Puffypants?" Blitz asks, his smirk never leaving his face as Arcane held the stuffed animal in a strangle hold as he slept.

Ahsoka huffs. "They are right, you are an idiot. When did you become so cheeky?"

Blitz grins. "When my life got more fun."

"Thank you Minerva." Twilight says as Minerva handed her a few books.

Blitz looks over to her. "What are those for?"

"Thought I would take this chance to catch up on my studying on magic." Twilight says innocently.

Blitz raises an eyebrow. "Twi, I know that tone. What are you planning?"

"Nothing, but what are you planning with that bet?" Twilight asks.

Blitz wags a hoof at her. "Uh nuh, you are not going to learn my secrets as magicians say, show the trick, not the trickery."

"Oh, so…wait, what do you me…" Twilight was cut off by the door opening.

"Blitzy, me and Sunshine Smile are home." Pinkie whispers walking in.

Blitz smiles. "Lay her right here." He said pointing to Arcane and seeing Sunshine sleeping on Pinkie's back. "I think these two will enjoy the company."

Pinkie sets her down on the pillow with Arcane before jumping onto Blitz and hugs him. Blitz chuckles. "Aw, you're too cute. You really can make anypony's day."

Pinkie giggles and nuzzles him. "I know. Who else could make you guys have fun?"

Blitz thinks for a few. "Maybe Vinyl with a huge rave."

"Um…" Ahsoka says getting Pinkie's attention.

Pinkie suddenly moves up close to her face. "Hi there. What's your name?"

Ahsoka reels back a little. "Um…Ahsoka Tano, you?"

Pinkie sits down on Blitz's back. "Pinkamena Diana Pie." She sang.

"Hey Pinkie, get this, Ahsoka doesn't believe pegasus can control weather." Blitz says causing her to gasp.

Pinkie suddenly grabs Ahsoka's head and pulls her close. "Doesn't believe it. No, that can't do." She said as she lets go just as well. "We have to find a pegasus quickly. To the Pinkie mobile." She said before jumping off and out the door before hearing a screeching sound and an engine going away.

"I was going to let it be a surprise when…" Blitz was cut off by a new voice.

"One of the mares like me gets back?" Spitfire asks.

Blitz nervously chuckles as they hear the same screeching sound coming to their house, but it isn't stopping. "Oh no." Blitz said looking to the front door as well as everyone else. "Please don't crash, Daring will kill me." He said as the screeching gets closer before they hear it stop completely and then a few knocks comes from the door and Pinkie walks in with a sleek pink vehicle almost an inch away from the doorway. "Found Spitfire." She called.

Blitz sighs in relief. "Dang it Pinkie. You almost got me killed…from Daring. And where did you get that car?"

Pinkie tilts her head. "What car?"

They both look behind her and see nothing in the doorway. "Wha…?" Ahsoka tries to ask.

"Pinkie Pie, don't question it." They all said to her.

"Anyway, can you show her that pegasus can control the weather Spits?" Blitz asks with a small grin.

"Huh…who is this?" Spitfire asks.

They all point to Ahsoka who waves back. "Hi and yeah, don't believe it."

"I'm asking who the alien is." Spitfire says blankly.

Ahsoka sighs. "Ahsoka Tano and I still don't believe you guys can control the weather. It's not possible without a terraformer."

"You mind love? I think she could use a shower." Blitz whispers the last half into her ear.

Spitfire grins and flies outside from the back and straight into the sky before grabbing a dark cloud and pulls it back down and into the house. "Okay, I believe density here, but not controlling it." Ahsoka said before Spitfire kicks the cloud and it immediately starts raining on her. "Okay, believe it now."

"You better." Spitfire says resting her head on Blitz.

Blitz chuckles as he nuzzles Spitfire. "Thanks Spits."

Spitfire chuckles and wraps a hoof around him. "You better my horned stallion."

Blitz keeps nuzzling her. "In more ways than one." He whispered.

"Oh yeah." Spitfire says before pecking his neck.

Blitz smiled as he looks at her. "What are you, a vampire?" He asks before seeing Ahsoka blushing out of the corner of his eye.

Spitfire grins. "Nah, just hungry for some fun. I can still wait for the real thing though."

"Minerva, please take Ahsoka to the bathroom so she can wash up while we wash her clothes." Blitz says.

Ahsoka grumbles as Minerva comes up and leads her to the bathroom as Spitfire snickers. "When can we do a proof of magic here for her again?" She asks after she leaves.

"Already did that." Blitz says.

Spitfire raises an eyebrow. "What's that?"

"Twi went lecture on magic on her." Blitz as Spitfire lays on his back.

Spitfire smiled as she starts to cover herself with her wings. "That's good. It looked like she needed a good breakdown on what we do."

"She better, Twi went on for nine hours." Blitz says,

Spitfire looks to where she went. "Hard to believe she is still awake."

"That was yesterday." Blitz says.

Spitfire clicks her tongue. "Boo. Still, what is she doing here?"

"Will explain later. For now, let's spend time together." Blitz says.

Spitfire smiled. "I would like that." She said as he starts to walk to their room.

"No drinks for now love, wait for tonight." Blitz says.

"Boo." Spitfire said slightly hitting his head.

Ridley groans as the pirates dropped another box. "How many times have I told you all to not to drop these?!" They just stare at him. "Do you?!" A pirate just holds up a claw. "No, not just one time, many times?! Why do you think I tell you to steal everything when we attack a ship or colony? It's because you insects can't even move them around properly without dropping them to pieces. Now pick it up or it is these for you." He threatened while holding up his talon.

Every single pirates quickly rushes their job now. "They always like this?" Spike asks as he walks past.

Ridley huffs. "That's not the half of it. What are you doing here anyway? Shouldn't you be up there and deal with your fleet."

"They can be taken care of on their own now. Its way too simple and ordinary for the mission I have signed them up for." Spike said stopping a few pirates and looking into the boxes they were holding. "Here it is." He said taking out a circuit board. "I was wondering when the lab would get these." He said waving them off and walking away.

Ridley watches him leave. "Board for what?"

Spike grins. "My new AI buddy." He said as his omnitool lights up and a blue tail slithers around him. "Minerva kinda made this one for me based on the shape of a full grown dragon. Cool huh? Just came for his permanent placement on a computer." He said showing the large board and the dragon hovers over it, looking it over.

Ridley just stares. "And how does it help?"

Spike frowns. "Simple, handling the small calculations while I run the big ideas. There seems to be that almost every time I run something." Ridley just tilts his head. Spike sighs. "Just forget it. I just an AI now. Hope you have enough brain left to know that." He said now walking away.

Ridley frowns. "Hey, I still got my brain intact!"

"After the many times I blasted you, I doubt that." A voice said behind him.

Ridley turns around and sees Samus without her armor, but in a blue jumpsuit. "Your scar." He said noticing the scar on her face was gone.

Samus grins. "Yeah, told you I would deal with it and end it. I was surprised that once I killed that thing, everything else fell apart. No more phazon in the universe now since there is no brain to keep it alive."

Ridley then grins. "Came back for a rematch?"

Samus smirks. "Maybe, for now I just came back to talk. I like our last one that might have been our last since I was going into the belly of the beast so to speak. Now that I'm back though, how a little chit chat and then we can see who is better."

Ridley chuckles. "Good, now stop showing yourself off so these fools can get back to work." He said as the pirates who were staring at her immediately went back to work.

Samus chuckles. "Oh this is interesting. Maybe I should use that trick when we fight."

Ridley grins. "Really, just like a little bitch?"

Samus grins back. "For you so I can get a clean shot, yeah, I should."

Ridley laughs. "This is going to be an interesting fight."

Samus smiled. "We shall see. Now then, what do you have for drinks?"

"Jack Dodgers." Spike said standing in the elevator. "You guys coming or not?"

They both looks to each other before shrugging and getting on and heading up. "I still hate you." Ridley said.

"Hate you too." Samus replied.

"So love, how are you feeling?" Blitz asks sitting in the swing on the front porch, watching the sun set.

"Better now that you're here." Spitfire said as Blitz pets her mane.

"I'm still waiting for the drink." Vinyl says.

Blitz rolls his eyes as he pets Vinyl's mane too. "Yeah, not yet. Waiting for the last and best part."

They both look up at him. "Drink now." They said.

"Nope." Blitz says using his magic to yank their tails playfully.

They yelp a bit before glaring up at him. "We hate you."

Blitz smiled and kisses both of their heads. "I love you two too. Now just relax, this is the last night before winter and we are scheduled for heavy snow for the next week."

They smirk as they look at him. "Then we're stuck inside with you which is good." Spitfire said.

"Yes, but we won't be able to relax like this for a good long time." Blitz says.

They shrug. "Ah well, we still got something to do at times. Besides, snow would be good for the foals." Vinyl said.

"But you both will be busy playing with the foals or with me at night." Blitz whispers into their ears.

They lean close to his. "Worth it." They said.

"Then don't rush it loves." Blitz says.

They both giggle as they nuzzle him. "Love ya."

"I love you too and I think I see somepony coming." Blitz says.

They all look over and see Ahsoka coming around the building in her fresh clothes. "Hey there alien girl." Vinyl said.

"I see Minerva found you something to wear while your clothes are being washed." Blitz says.

Ahsoka pulls on her sleeve. "Still tight."

"Well I'm surprised we even had anything in your size." Blitz says.

Ahsoka huffs. "I'm surprised you had anything for my type of body shape. What was Minerva doing with those clothes anyway?"

"My guess, possible back up clothes for a visitor." Blitz says.

Ahsoka thinks for a few before blushing. "Oh come on, she knows what I follow."

"Not for you. For any visor, like for example one of the foals starts throwing food." Blitz says.

Ahsoka folds her arms. "You planning on bringing them out there?"

"A guest who has business with me, yes." Blitz says.

Ahsoka frowns. "I meant your kids."

"Why wouldn't they be here? This is one of their homes." Blitz says raising an eyebrow.

Ahsoka groans. "I meant taking them out into space."

"When they are old enough." Blitz says.

Ahsoka raises an eyebrow. "Really? You do realize you may have to go into space again, right?"

"Oh I know. So Ahsoka, you find yourself a spouse yet?" Blitz asks.

Ahsoka frowns. "Blitz, you know the order doesn't allow that."

"That's not answerin me question." Blitz says in a sing song tone.

Ahsoka sighs. "No." She said almost in a whisper.

"Aw, don't worry Ahsoka, Azure will marry you." Blitz jokes.

Ahsoka glares at him. "I hate you."

Blitz sticks his tongue out. "Love ya too."

Chapter 1 (Part 7): Changed Lives

"I can't believe they roped off the school." Rainbow says annoyed.

Twilight rolls her eyes. "What did you think would happen? An attack that can count as a war zone near the school. Of course they would check the school just in case."

"The scorch marks looks new, but what about the bones, I mean why were there so many bones?" Applejack asks.

Fluttershy whimpers as she hides behind Rarity. "Um…they look clean."

"That is just it. Even if they were picked clean, there still be a sign of flesh or something. But it's like the flesh had already decomposed and they were fossils." Applejack says.

Twilight thinks for a few before sighing. "Well, there is nothing we can do so let's go..."

"You know something, don't you?" Sunset whispers.

Twilight looks to her. "And I intend to keep it quiet."

"Girls, to the shed to continue practicing." Pinkie cheers.

Blitz was still sleeping on the couch as Octavia and Vinyl watched. "He looks so peaceful, doesn't he?" Vinyl asks.

Octavia smiled. "How can't he?"

"Oh well." Vinyl says with a bucket full of water was about to pour it onto him when the two heard a bark behind them.

Octavia looks to Vinyl. "Did you get a dog?"

"No." Vinyl says looking to her.

They both turn behind them and they see Terran growling and snapping his jaw at them as he stalks them. "What…is…that?" Octavia tries to ask.

"It looks like an undiscovered monster." Vinyl says as they slowly backed away.

Blitz groans, still half asleep. "Terran, quiet down and get back over here." Blitz says half asleep as he tries to feel for him. Terran huffs at the two girls as he walks over to Blitz and puts his head under his hand. "Hey boy. Now go back to sleep. I have had a long night along with you." Terran pants at him before curling up at the foot of the couch, moving the coffee table over to make more room.

Vinyl and Octavia just stared. "Um…want to explain?" Vinyl asks.

The only answer they received was Blitz's snoring.

"Hey girls, what did I mi…what is that?" S. Vinyl asks.

Vinyl looks to her. "Alien or monster."

"So wake up Blitz…oh, he looks so adorable." S. Vinyl says.

Octavia smiled. "Yeah and this is what his wives have on his side. Lucky."

"That includes you too Tavi, so go lay with him. We don't have school today." Vinyl says.

Octavia smiled and laid down beside him and puts her head on his chest. "He sure smells like soot."

"Tavi, let me sleep a little longer. Azure could use his mother." Blitz says.

They looked at him for a few seconds before giggling. "He must think that he's in Equestria." S. Vinyl said.

"Tavi, I will rut you later tonight, ok?" Blitz asks turning Octavia a scarlet red.

Vinyl snickers. "Okay, this is too good. Do more." She pleaded as she shook Blitz a little. "Blitz, I need a good amount of kissing and blood later."

"Again Vinyl, we did that long ago. Why do you love me dominating you so much?" Blitz asks freezing Vinyl, causing Octavia to smirk this time.

S. Vinyl giggles. "Okay, I got one. Oh master." She called.

"Fluttershy please, I don't like playing those games as much as you do. I know you like to be abused and it turns you on, but let me rest, please." Blitz says now holding Octavia.

S. Vinyl grins. "Perfect blackmail gold. Okay, we got imitate his other mares. Who else?" She asks tapping her chin.

"Um, let's see…" Vinyl says.

"How about I tell you the time where my three girls tried to get blackmail material out of me while they thought I was asleep?" Blitz asks.

"Oh that ought to be a good blackm…ha…ha…ha, morning Blitz." Vinyl says sheepishly.

"I need coffee and medicine. I have got such a headache." Blitz says.

Octavia smiled and lets him up and he gets up and heads for the kitchen. "How long were you awake?" She asks.

Blitz sighs as he grabs some aspirin from the counter and his coffee. "About a few minutes ago. Could have last longer, but some girls kept me up." He said giving them a look as he sat back down.

The two Vinyls laugh nervously as Terran lays his head on Blitz's lap.

Blitz huffs as he drank his medicine and coffee. "So, what did I miss?"

"Well first, what is that?" Octavia asks.

"Terran, my hunting companion. I guess he could be the equivalent of a bloodhound, but a hundred times more deadly." Blitz says scratching him.

Terran purrs and leans into the scratching.

"And he…" S. Vinyl starts.

"Tore through all the thralls of Mary that my traps or I didn't kill." Blitz says as Terran lays a silver knife on the coffee table.

"Thanks boy. I forgot this." Blitz says.

They all hiss or growl at the knife before Blitz takes it away and puts it in his backpack nearby. "Alright, what time is it?" He asks while drinking.

"Around eleven in the morning." Vinyl says.

Blitz spits out his coffee. "Why didn't you tell me?"

"No school today after they discovered the battlefield at the church I told you about." Vinyl says.

Blitz raises an eyebrow. "Ah, good. And Twilight and the others?"

"Practicing for the battle of the bands so…" S. Vinyl starts.

"I got Mary a one way ticket down stairs." Blitz says.

Vinyl smirks. "Okay, you made it to the top of my 'want to have for life' list."

"My universe version said that once she tasted my blood." Blitz says.

Vinyl grins. "Was it more like 'want to bed or fuck' list?"

"No, more like 'I want you for myself'." Blitz says.

Vinyl chuckles. "Man, I want to meet my version, but unfortunately my place is here. I got a shop after all."

"Uh huh. Vinyl, raise your left leg and jump five steps to the left while hopping on your right." Blitz says and to her shock, Vinyl's body acted on its own.

Vinyl started to hop around. "Hey, what's going on?"

"Vinyl. When a Vampire wants a mate and it is meant to be the mate and they are connected by the soul and…" Blitz says to let her finish it.

Vinyl gulps. "Um…can assume some control over their actions if their will is strong enough."

"And that means?" Blitz asks smirking.

Vinyl whimpers. "My mate."

"And?" Blitz asks.

"Octavia's mate." Vinyl adds.

"And?" Blitz asks waiting for her to come over.

Vinyl hops over before Blitz pulls her onto his lap. "Better now?" Blitz asks.

Vinyl gulps. "Yeah. Fine here."

"Go ahead." Blitz says exposing his neck.

Vinyl looks to him before leaning close and licks his neck before biting it. "I love you." She said before going back to drinking.

"Ok, it's more painful here than my universe." Blitz says gritting his teeth.

S. Vinyl comes up behind him and wraps her arms around him and kisses his cheek. "Better?"

"Throbbing pain, but used to it. After all, I let you feed on me every so often." Blitz says.

Vinyl just puts her hand on Blitz's.

"So am I going to get meet Count Dracula of this world as he is long since gone in mine?" Blitz asks.

"I don't think you want to do that." Vinyl says.

"Why?" Blitz asks.

Vinyl grins a bit. "Because he's fucking insane."

"Really?" Blitz asks.

"Yeah, I mean if he was here he would probably yell." Vinyl was cut off when a male voice yelled from the wall. "Hey kids, want to see a dead body!"

They just turn to the red coated person halfway into the wall. "Come on, that's a classic." He said walking out of it. "And why is my daughter sucking away at a new blood bag? I expected her to at least go at it like crazy then fight, then go crazy again and then drink the blood."

"Count Dracula also known as Vlad the impaler in life." Blitz says in disbelief.

Dracula chuckles almost like a devilishly child. "Ah, the great…ah fuck it. Who are you?"

"Blitzkrieg, the guy who sent a bitch and her thralls to hell last night." Blitz says.

Dracula says nothing for a while as he just stared at them behind his red tinted glasses. "Huh, wondered when that bitch was going to fuck the bucket. I am least assumed she would be fucked to death. Oh wait, you did. And now…"

"Terran." Blitz says and Terran's head shoots up.

Dracula stares at the dog. "Can he puss out a bitch all the time?"

"No, but his favorite game is hide and go kill with his prey." Blitz says.

Dracula grins. "Oh, my favorite is see how long I can make the enemy kill him himself. Come on, top that."

Terran belches out the soul of one of the thralls he killed last night.

They all watch as the soul sinks away before it was shot by Dracula. "Sorry, but I was getting bored."

"Ah, not the worst." Blitz says.

"Um…dad aren't you bound to someone?" Vinyl asks.

He thinks on that. "No, I would remember one, especially with big tities."

"Integra Hellsing." Vinyl says.

Dracula just stares at her. "I'm going for a walk." He said going to the door.

"I like your dad. He seems like a fun guy." Blitz says before they hear a phone ringing.

"Yello." Dracula said taking out a phone and answering it. "Uh huh. No, I am not at our daughter's where she has just gotten her first mate. Of course I'm not serious. Look, I just…oh please, that was one…you know what, I am going for a walk."

"So what's the recoil on those 12mm handguns he has?" Blitz asks Vinyl.

Vinyl shrugs. "Enough to do the job."

"So this Integra, your mother?" Blitz asks.

Vinyl chuckles. "Oh yeah and she keeps my dad sane. Sort of."

"So am I gonna get to me…" Blitz stops when a limo pulled up.

"Oh no. Well, I better get that walk done. Bye now." Dracula said as he walked out and a woman exited the limo and pulled him back in. "I'm back from what a drag."

"You stay in there and watch Netflix. I'm going to talk to our daughter." Integra says.

Blitz looks to Vinyl who chuckles. "Yeah, she's the head of the family."

"No she's not, I am." Dracula said sitting down and turning on the TV.

"Oh, this ought to be interesting." Blitz says.

Integra looks to Vinyl. "So, care to introduce me?"

"Um…sure, this is Blitzkrieg." Vinyl says.

Blitz sniffs the air. "I smell a Vatican?" Blitz says puzzled.

Dracula grins and pulls out his guns. "You got me a gift?"

"No Alucard, back in the limo." Integra says.

Alucard mope and slouches as he drags himself to the limo. "Well, my boner is gone."

"May I help you Mr. Man Wielding Bayonets." Blitz says to the new person coming through the door.

"Well, hello super weird dangerous looking man I have seen with a giant fish dog." He paused. "For the third time."

"Do I know you?" Blitz asks.

"Eh, no. What do they call it? A coincidence?" He asked himself.

"Uh huh, so you here to kill the vampires?" Blitz asks.

"Pretty much sums it up." The man says.

"Ok, one moment." Blitz says withdrawing his blaster pistol and starts shoot the laser bolts through him.

Vinyl looks to him. "Why did you do that?"

"No one threatens my girl." Blitz says.

"Was that a laser?" Dracula asks.

Blitz nods. "Oh yeah. Cool huh?"

"I want one." Dracula says.

"Blitz…Blitz, are you ok?" Vinyl asks shaking him a bit.

Blitz looks to her. "What are you talking about?"

"Are you ok? You stopped responding after I drank some of your blood." Vinyl says blood trailing from her lip.

Blitz groans as he tries to sit up. "What the…Vinyl? Are your parents alive?"

"Um…no, why do you ask?" Vinyl asks.

Blitz shakes his head. "Nothing. I'm good to go, right?"

"No." Vinyl says stroking his chest. "I think you need to rest for a bit longer."

Blitz sighs and looks down at where her hand is and holds his own to hers. "At least I got you."

"And what about us?" Octavia asks.

Blitz chuckles. "Yeah, you two too."

Octavia smirks as she rest against his other shoulder.

Blitz sighs. "Well, I'm up for some food. What do you got?"

"Blood." Octavia says.

Blitz sweatdrops. "I was thinking some ramen."

"No, she means that is all that is in the fridge." S. Vinyl says.

Blitz groans. "How about tomatoes or onions and all that?"

"Nope." Octavia says as Vinyl gets the phone.

Blitz looks to Vinyl. "Take out?"

"You can read minds as well?" Vinyl asks.

Blitz chuckles. "I like a vote. How about pizza?"

"How about you?" S. Vinyl asks.

Blitz just pushes her down on herself. "I vote pizza."

"We have to do something while we wait." S. Vinyl says.

Blitz chuckles and hugs S. Vinyl and nuzzles her head. "Aw, you want a little fun?"

"Yes." S. Vinyl says.

"Well you will have to wait a bit." Blitz says smirking.

S. Vinyl frowns. "For what?"

"For technically, the honeymoon." Blitz says.

S. Vinyl grins. "Oh, so what are you going to do?"

"I got something in my home universe that will blow your minds." Blitz says.

S. Vinyl giggles. "Can't wait."

"Oh ho, I'll have a camera on hand." Blitz says.

S. Vinyl licks her lips. "Now I'm really wanting you."

"Easy girl, hold your ponies." Blitz says.

S. Vinyl just giggles and hugs him tight while nuzzling his chest.

"You know, I just thought of something. How am I going to tell you all from your counterparts in my universe?" Blitz says.

S. Vinyl grins. "I'll wear something."

"I got my headphones." Vinyl says as Octavia comes back with a hair dye.

Blitz looks to the hair dye. "Who's that for?"

"You know Vinyl, I think you would look good with purple hair like Twilight's." Octavia says.

Vinyl glares. "Oh no. You are not putting that on me."

"Don't be shy Vinyl." Octavia says.

Blitz chuckles as he watched Octavia chased Vinyl around the house.

"Octavia, give Vinyl a rest and come here." Blitz says.

Octavia smiled and walked over. "Okay." She said sitting down. "So, what do you want to do while we wait?"

Blitz smirk and winks to S. Vinyl who smirks back before pushing Octavia and her head lands in Blitz's lap. Blitz chuckles and pets her head as she blushes. Blitz smiles at her as he runs his hand through her hair.

Octavia gulps. "Um…so how long have you been married?"

"A few years and to tell the truth, your counterpart was the first to bare a child." Blitz says.

Octavia looks up at him. "Really?"

"Yes, we named him Azure." Blitz says.

Octavia hums. "Little Azure. Such a nice name."

"He constantly likes to listen to his mother practicing her cello, although for the life of me, I still can't figure out how she plays it with hooves." Blitz says.

Octavia giggles. "Maybe she's just that good. And how do you hold your guns like in pony form or any other things?"

"Magic. Telekinesis is a simple spell once you get the hang of it." Blitz says.

Octavia holds up a finger. "Ah, but how does regular ponies hold them?"

"Oh we have only recently been supplying them, a lot are still using crossbows though." Blitz says.

Octavia nods. "See, if there is a way, it will happen."

Blitz chuckles a bit suddenly.

Octavia raises an eyebrow. "What are you laughing about?"

"I just realized, when we go to my universe, you two will have to get used to hooves." Blitz says.

Octavia shrugs. "We'll pick it up. You just need to do your job."

"I will, you just have to keep being sexy, sounds fair?" Blitz asks.

Octavia giggles. "Yeah. Really fair if you act on it."

"What do you think Vinyl, S. Vinyl?" Blitz asks.

They both grin. "Act on it."

"Think they can pull off sexy?" Blitz asks looking at Octavia.

Octavia smirks. "What do you think?"

"I want to hear your thoughts on it." Blitz says as Octavia smirked.

"Alright, how about I put on some really sexy underwear on them in their pony form? Maybe then they will be sexy." She says.

Blitz chuckles and snort a bit at the joke.

Octavia just stares at him.

"Pay her back for that?" Vinyl asks S. Vinyl.

S. Vinyl nods and they both grab her and drag her to their room before S. Vinyl comes back and sat on his lap and leans back onto him.

"Pay back for her joke?" Blitz asks.

S. Vinyl sighs and rubs against him. "Yeah, now what are you going to do?"

"It has been about twenty seven minutes. We got around three minutes to go before…" Blitz stops when the doorbell rang.

"I got it." Vinyl called and heads for the door and opens it to the pizza delivery which she paid for it and waved goodbye to him.

Vinyl grins as she puts the pizza box down on the table. "I'll get the drinks. Don't molest him while I'm gone." She said heading to the kitchen.

"Oh, but can he do that to me?" S. Vinyl asks.

Vinyl waves an arm around the corner and Blitz grabs S. Vinyl and holds her close.

"You are such a bad girl." Blitz whispers into her ear.

S. Vinyl gulps and eeps as he starts running his hands over her. "I'm really wanting your pony version on me now since I heard about it."

"Down girl, you will get your wish soon enough." Blitz says.

S. Vinyl tries to smile. "Bastard."

"And what does that make you?" Blitz whispers into her ear.

S. Vinyl chuckles. "Your lover and soon more to come. Want these off?" She asks reaching for her shirt buttons.

"Nah, save it for later tonight. For now, let's eat." Blitz says before giving her rear a squeeze.

S. Vinyl squeaks as she grounds her butt on his lap. "That's some hot stuff."

Blitz chuckles and rubs her rear as he opens the box and takes out a piece. "Oh, pepperoni." He said happily.

"Yeah, here you go." Vinyl says handing him a soda with Octavia walking behind her.

Blitz smiled and takes one before opening it and drinking some. "Ah, been a while since I really had a chance to relax and enjoy life."

"Oh, does that mean…" Vinyl starts.

"Wait till the unofficial honeymoon." Blitz says.

Vinyl chuckles as she takes a piece herself. "You know, you really aren't that bad once we get down to it."

"Hum, maybe your headphones and a hoodie." Blitz says looking at Vinyl.

Vinyl raises an eyebrow. "Yeah, no. You are not taking my stuff."

"I mean to distinguish you from my universe's counterpart when we go." Blitz says.

Vinyl tilts her head. "Well, how about a sexy outfit?" She asks her grin growing.

"In public?" Blitz asks.

Vinyl chuckles. "I want them to know you are mine."

"But I find you sexy in anything and ponies usually are naked." Blitz says.

Vinyl giggles. "Even better, having fun teasing before heading back to you."

"Any guy who hits on you, I will kill horribly." Blitz says.

Vinyl smile falls away. "Okay, that's my fun gone."

"Oh, looks like our husband gets jealous quite easily." Octavia says.

Blitz huffs. "No, just that others should recognize me as your husband and stay away."

"O, than you are just going to have to love us a lot." Vinyl says sitting against him now.

Blitz sighs as he wraps an arm around them. "I love you girls, but sometimes you can drive me crazy."

"That is how it should be." Octavia says as Terran bumped her with his nose.

Octavia giggles and scratches his head and he pants happily. "Aw, he wants to join."

"Terran is a big loveable companion. The foals love to play with him." Blitz says as Terran pushes Octavia to the ground and licks her face.

Octavia laughs as she tries to keep him away. "Okay, okay. I get it. You like me. Now lay off the licking, please."

"He may be the size of a bear here, but in our universe, he is the size of a grown dog." Blitz says as Octavia is now being nuzzled.

Octavia giggles and hugs his head. "Aw, who's a cute loveable oaf?"

"So who wants to go pet him next?" Blitz asks.

S. Vinyl laughs and jumps up. "I will." She cheers before going over to him and scratching his chin. "Who's a good boy? You are. Yes, you are." S. Vinyl says scratching him.

Terran pants happily and nuzzles her hand.

"And that just leaves you." Blitz says picking Vinyl up and setting her in his lap.

Vinyl sighs and reclines and puts her leg up. "Well, I'm comfortable. Did they ever tell you, you were a good pillow?"

"Yes, now do you like this?" Blitz whispers squeezing her rear.

"Oh, frisky." She said looking at him.

"Oh how about this?" Blitz whispers before grabbing and massaging her breast.

Vinyl moans as she leans more into him. "That feels good. Better than by myself."

"Oh, I'll bet so." Blitz whispers before kissing her.

Vinyl moans into the kiss as she turns herself around. "You really know how to take care of a woman." She said breaking it a bit.

"Was there ever any doubt?" Blitz asks breaking the kiss.

Vinyl shakes her head. "Nah, just a bit more kinks and you would be loads of fun."

"Well I am still learning and experimenting on the human body to see what reactions I can get." Blitz says smirking.

Vinyl chuckles and strokes his cheek. "And what are planning to do?"

"Well…" Blitz stops when they heard. "I'm back."

"Twi." Blitz says.

Twilight smiled until she looks to see Vinyl on his lap. "And just what are you doing?"

"I'm making sure he doesn't choke again." Vinyl says.

Twilight huffs. "Yeah right." She said before noticing the table. "What kind?"

"Pepperoni they called it. We never had it before Twi." Blitz says as Vinyl gets off and he walks over and hugs her.

Twilight sighs as she hugs back. "So how was your nap?"

Blitz smiled. "Good. Thanks for letting me sleep."

"You are lucky school was called off after they discovered your battlefield." Twilight says.

Blitz nervously chuckles. "Yeah, about that…"

"Did you get her?" Twilight asks.

"Bloody Mary is burning as we speak. I even destroyed the thing that represented her contract with the devil." Blitz says.

Twilight smiled. "And claw marks this time?"

"She didn't even get to touch me. She was sluggish and nearly was sent flying from my punch." Blitz says.

Twilight kisses his cheek. "There, see. I know you can do it. You're just danger prone."

Blitz looks away as if in deep thought. 'But what was that?' Blitz says remember Mary's part were blown into the fire by some unknown force.

Twilight taps his head. "Blitz? What are you thinking about?"

"Oh it's nothing. Come on Twi, let's eat." Blitz says.

Twilight nods and sits down and grabs a piece. "So…who's got what plans?"

"I'm going to take it easy for a bit and Terran can't be seen in public." Blitz says.

Twilight nods. "Practicing."

"Still having trouble with the spell?" Blitz asks.

Twilight sighs. "Yeah. I can barely do magic here. What about you? Can you do anything?"

"I can't use the spells you taught me." Blitz says.

Twilight raises an eyebrow. "Huh. Guess it's because magic doesn't exist much here. Just the most powerful things like the elements."

"And vampire." Blitz says pointing to the two playing with Terran.

Twilight smiled. "Yeah. Still, it's amazing how some things are here. Makes you wonder what else can come through the portal and change a bit."

"Makes me wonder if magic did exist here at one point, but the world lost it somehow." Blitz says.

"Well, there is the fact of some reports of magic back in the Middle Ages." Vinyl said.

"Could something have happened than that used all the magic at once?" Twilight thinks out loud before taking a bite.

Blitz shrugs. "There use to be some planets that were told of using powers, magic or something like that when all of a sudden, either a radical group or the population or even an event, makes it so that you can use those things anymore. Maybe a magical overload here, like an EMP of the magical kind?"

"Fascinating, I mus..." Twilight began before Blitz stuff her slice in her mouth.

"Twi, remember where we are." Blitz says petting her.

Twilight huffs before chewing.

"Now Vinyl, you can watch Terran if I go out?" Blitz asks.

Vinyl nods. "Sure, he can be my guard dog at my music shop."

"You will have bodies instead of culprits." Blitz says.

Vinyl chuckles. "I got a mop and heavy duty cleaner with cat litter."

"We can also use the spare blood." Octavia says.

Twilight stares at them. "More dangerous than ours, that's for sure."

Blitz whispers something into Twilight's ear. Twilight looks to her phone and sees a picture of a bunny who was nibbling a carrot. "How did I get this?"

"Hey Vinyl, what do you think of this?" Blitz asks.

Vinyl peeks over. "Aw, cute. Now your princess isn't so tough."

"Do you want one?" Blitz asks causing Vinyl to squee.

"Would I? A cute little hopping bunny rabbit." Vinyl said.

Blitz smiles at Twilight who snickers.

Twilight sighs. "I always love this family. No matter where or when."

"Show her another one." Blitz says.

Twilight smiled and tried to search and ended up on and showed it to Vinyl. "Here." She said showing two bunnies eating a strawberry.

Vinyl squeed even louder and fell on her back. "Note to self, get Vinyl a bunny when we get home." Blitz says.

Twilight giggles. "Can't believe that our vampire lover is also a bunny lover."

"As long it is not angel than, I approve." Blitz says.

Twilight raises an eyebrow. "Why not him?"

"He is evil." Blitz says.

Twilight looks confused. "Um…he's not."

"That thing threw something at Arcane. If I didn't have to go with you, I would have fed him the Terran." Blitz says.

Twilight frowns. "Okay, that's a good reason."

"He got lucky. Next time though we shall see." Blitz says.

Twilight sighs. "Do you know how he is?"

"No, but I do know Fluttershy is watching after Arcane." Blitz says.

Twilight smiled. "Good. Now he's getting that knowledge about me going away for a bit.

"Oh, you don't fool me, you want to go back and hug and hold him." Blitz says.

Twilight sighs. "How could I not? He's my son."

"So who is this Flash Sentry I have heard of?" Blitz asks.

Twilight sighs. "Oh, just a boy I met when I was last here. Then I may be bumped into him when I got back."

"Anything else?" Blitz asks.

Twilight gulps a bit. "Well…I have may hug him once or twice and gave a kiss."

"And do you have any feelings for him?" Blitz asks.

Twilight shakes her head. "Actually, never a spark."

"Yet you kissed?" Blitz asks.

Twilight sighs. "Sort of a goodbye thing." She said trying to distract herself with drinking.

"Well I'm satisfied." Blitz says.

Twilight does a spit take, covering Octavia and S. Vinyl. "What?"

"You're my wife and you wouldn't cheat on me with him." Blitz says holding her.

Twilight looks to him. "But…but…aren't you going to at least hurt him, maim him, shoot him or even drop him off a roof?"

"Why would I do that unless you want me to?" Blitz asks.

Twilight shakes her head. "No, I mean, why wouldn't you at least do something?"

"No, I trust you, but I might pull the protective big brother routine and scare him a bit." Blitz says.

Twilight looks at him till she starts smiling. "I love you 'big brother'."

"So do I 'little sister'." Blitz says pulling her closer.

Twilight giggles and rests her head on his shoulder. "So, what do you want to do now?"

"What do you want to do?" Blitz asks.

Twilight shrugs. "Well…what time is it now?"

"Around nine." Vinyl says.

Twilight grins. "Movie night?"

"As long it isn't a vampire movie named Twilight." Vinyl says.

Twilight laughs before stopping and staring at her. "Nice. Nope, let's just watch a movie on this network named Netflix Rainbow told me about." Twilight says.

Blitz smiled. "Oh this will be good. It's not a chick flick though, is it?"

"No, Netflix is an online program that stores thousands of movies and TV show to be watched whenever the customer wants so let's just hit random and see what we get." Vinyl says turning on TV and heading to the program before hitting random and stops. "Let's try that again." She said after coming up with documentaries.

One hour and fifty eight minutes later.

"Well that was pretty good. I think that was called 300, right?" Blitz asks.

Twilight smiled. "You just liked it just because it had an army in there."

"Nope, it had intrigue and politics as well." Blitz says petting Twilight.

Twilight sighs and leans into his petting. "Blitz, why don't we go to bed?"

"Alright just do what you did last time or S. Vinyl will strip you again." Blitz says.

Twilight groans. "Oh come on."

"You think I am bluffing?" Blitz asks.

Twilight sighs as S. Vinyl looks to her. "Fine." She said getting up.

"This time, you can strip in the bedroom after we bathe or before if you prefer." Blitz says.

Twilight pulls him up and drags him to their bedroom. "Come on. I got to practice tomorrow."

The three left in the room soon heard water running.

"So, now that she's gone. What are we going to do now?" S. Vinyl asks.

"Risk?" Vinyl asks.

Octavia smiled. "I'm game."

"Ok, time for me to conquer the world." Vinyl says smirking.

S. Vinyl laughs. "Yeah right. I'm going to be the one to win that."

Later. "So Twi, how did you like bathing together?" Blitz asks as he pressed himself against her.

Twilight smiled and puts her hands on his shoulders. "Really nice. Wish we did this more often."

"Tell you what, I will move to have a big bath installed in the castle so we can bathe together." Blitz says.

Twilight sighs. "That sounds nice. Think you can add a few features?"

"You want to wash Arcane in it with us?" Blitz asks.

Twilight giggles. "A little place for the foals to wash themselves while we have our own."

"And maybe when we get back, Rarity will finally get her wish and the Griffon king will hold the ceremony to make me a lord of his kingdom and give me the fief Rarity wants." Blitz says feeling Twilight wrap her legs around his waist.

Twilight smirks. "Really, you left that to Rarity?"

"No, I haven't been awarded a fief yet. Remember, I am still a knight major in the griffon kingdom." Blitz reminds.

Twilight sighs. "I meant leaving Rarity with deciding."

"Huh, of course I would never leave Rarity love. I love all of you." Blitz says.

Twilight flicks his head. "Idiot."

"You think we should get to work on the standard for the clan?" Blitz asks.

Twilight sighs. "What do we need?"

"Not sure, a symbol to let them know who we are." Blitz says grabbing her rear.

Twilight moans. "And what's the few ideas you got?"

"I'm not sure. I want it to represent all of our planet, not just ponies." Blitz says squeezing it a bit.

Twilight tries to hold her moan. "Maybe…the planet?"

"I don't want it to be cheesy though. Ah well, I can think on that later for now. I got someone who needs me to attend to them." Blitz says grabbing one of Twilight's breasts.

Twilight eeps and whimpers. "Take it easy."

"I am." Blitz says squeezing her breast a bit before kissing her.

Twilight breaks it and looks at him. "I love you."

"Same here you sexy mare." Blitz says.

Twilight taps his nose. "Woman."

"Tomayto, Tomato." Blitz says.

Twilight giggles and kisses him again. "Enough teasing though."

"Oh, want to be rutted tonight?" Blitz asks.

Twilight smirks. "Close, just more fun."

"Oh, you lead and maybe I will take over later." Blitz says.

Twilight giggles and kisses his cheek. "Such a cutie."

Blitz smirks.

"Finally, back to school." Rainbow says as Blitz and Twilight walk near her.

Twilight smirks. "Geez Rainbow, didn't know you like school that much."

"She is such an egg head, don't you think?" Blitz jokes.

Twilight giggles as Rainbow blushes. "Shut up before I send you two to next weekend."

"If she had her wings, they would so be poofed right now." Blitz whispers to Twilight.

Twilight snickers to which Rainbow glares.

"I'm kidding, you look great Rainbow." Blitz says.

Rainbow clicks her tongue. "Jerks."

"Keep that up Rainbow and I might get my brother to kiss you." Twilight jokes.

Rainbow growls. "You guys are honry jerks."

"She's adorable when blushing like crazy." Blitz says.

Rainbow glares and grabs his collar. "Listen jerk, you better tone it done or else."

"Rainbow, you having a lovers spat or something?" Fire Streak, one of the male wonderbolts, asks.

Rainbow quickly drops Blitz. "No, now get inside and hope those grades of yours are enough to stay on the team."

"Sorry, will clear out so you can have a moment with him." Fire Streak says walking away.

Rainbow huffs. "You better." She calls to him before turning to Blitz and sees him smirking. "Shut up."

Blitz motions her closer. "You know that is how my Rainbow treated me for a while." Blitz whispers into her ear.

Rainbow sighs. "I'm really starting to not get why she fell in love with you."

Blitz takes off his sunglasses looks her directly into her eyes and they just stand there for a bit. "Understand a bit now?" Blitz asks putting his sunglasses back on as Rainbow is still staring.

"Wha…what was that?" Rainbow asks in a daze.

"Like my eyes?" Blitz asks.

Rainbow nods as she reaches for him only for him to walk to the school and Twilight pulling her along.

The classes proceed normally, but in one Blitz noticed one of the Dazzlings' staring at him every so often.

"Hum." He thought to himself as he sat at lunch with the others.

"What's wrong?" Rainbow asks, her tone different from this morning.

"Take a look at the table over there." Blitz says gesturing with his head ever so slightly.

They look over to the table with the Dazzlings sitting alone as they all kept looking around, but one stared most at Blitz.

"She has been staring at me for a while." Blitz says.

Twilight glares at her as Dusk didn't notice. "This is getting to be trouble now."

"I'm still open to using explosives on them." Blitz says.

Twilight turns back to him. "Home, then you can make all the explosions you want."

"So the battle of the bands starts after school right?" Blitz asks.

Applejack nods. "Yep, don't want to bother the classes."

"So they announce any leads on the battlefield?" Blitz asks.

Twilight smiled. "You're lucky my big brother. At least they are getting stumped and turning to other counties for accusing now."

"Oh, so then, Twi, I think I will be gone for tonight." Blitz says.

Twilight looks to him. "You will be there for us soon, right?"

"I will." Blitz says.

Twilight smiled. "Great and my protection?"

"You got these five, right girls?" Blitz asks.

"Right." They chorused.

"See." Blitz says.

Twilight giggles. "Blitzy."

"It's Blitzkrieg, little sis." Blitz says faking his annoyance.

Twilight grins. "Mom doesn't."

Blitz gets up muttering under his breath as he walks away.

Twilight giggles. "Love ya big bro."

Blitz walked down the hall to the gym on his way, running into Spitfire. "Hey." Blitz says faking a somewhat foul mood.

Spitfire smiled. "What's wrong with you?"

"Sister bugging me." Blitz says.

Spitfire chuckles. "Yeah, that would tick off a brother. Hey listen, Vinyl gave me these for some reason. Don't know why. She wanted me to give it to you." She said taking out a pair of earbuds.

"Thanks, so I have been talking to Vinyl a lot lately. She mention she had an ex-girlfriend on the wonderbolts, would that be you by any chance?" Blitz asks.

Spitfire blushes. "Shut it."

"The reason I ask is because I was wondering if you and I had a chance." Blitz asks, a blush forming.

Spitfire opens her mouth to speak before stopping. "I don't…maybe…I don't know honestly."

"If there is a possibility, it is worth pursuing." Blitz says.

Spitfire nods. "Yeah, guess that's true."

"You mind if I tell you something confidential?" Blitz asks.

Spitfire nods as they enter the empty gym. "Sure, what?"

"To me, sports are fun and all, but I don't think they are for me. To tell the truth, I am far more interested in science and medicine." Blitz says.

Spitfire looks at him surprised. "Really?"

"Yeah, so one with my physical abilities is more interested in studying and learning to be a medic. Unusual, isn't it?" Blitz asks.

Spitfire giggles. "Yeah, it is, but I don't mind."

"I assume Soarin has told you about asking me to try out on the next Wonderbolts try out?" Blitz asks laying on the bleachers.

Spitfire nods and sits down with him. "Yeah, I got to make him stop doing that, why?"

"I'm hesitant to do that. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed playing with you guys, but I'm not sure I can put my heart into it like you guys." Blitz says.

Spitfire nods. "Okay, so what are you going to do?"

"I don't know, but I have almost fully convinced myself to become a doctor." Blitz says.

Spitfire smiled. "How about what girl you want?"

"I thought that question was a little redundant after what I asked you." Blitz says.

Spitfire blushes. "You want me?"

"Maybe, I haven't decided. After all, such a decision could chart my course in life." Blitz says looking up at her.

Spitfire looks at him carefully. "And more than one?"

"I'm the kind of guy who thinks heavily on these type of things before pursuing them with all my heart. I also have a good eye for detail. For example, I would say that one of your dreams is to fly." Blitz says.

Spitfire sighs. "Yeah, at least you are here to deal with things we were going through sometimes."

"So what do you think on what is happening around here recently?" Blitz asks.

Spitfire looks around. "Don't know, but the principles are acting strange certainly."

"What about the battlefield near the old church? All that damage and all those bones and yet no one heard or saw anything? Doesn't that sound far too suspicious?" Blitz asks.

Spitfire nods. "Yeah, it does. Do you know anything about it?"

"Well I did sneak out there to take a look. Found some of the bones. Looked like an animal had picked them clean a long time ago. My guess, they used something like napalm." Blitz says.

Spitfire sighs. "Well, at least it's over for now."

"For now, being the phrase. Makes me wonder, was it really a battle or a mass execution in disguise." Blitz says.

Spitfire sighs. "Could be anything, but for now, let's concentrate on our end."

"Gotcha, also a favor, could you keep an eye out for the Dazzlings for me? I notice one follows me around the place." Blitz says.

Spitfire nods. "Yeah, I can help with that."

"Something about those girls doesn't seem right. You get that vibe?" Blitz asks.

Spitfire nods. "Yeah, it's weird and heavy at times."

"And the way they walk around and interact. My first thought was open lesbians but they showed interest in guys as well." Blitz says.

Spitfire smirks. "Maybe they're bi."

"Or possible sexual predators like that new science teacher. She kind of reminds me of my sister." Blitz says.

Spitfire looks to him. "New science teacher?"

"Don't ask." Blitz says.

Spitfire chuckles. "Alright, I got to get going. Last class is coming up and soon the battle at the auditorium."

"Isn't P.E. your last class?" Blitz asks.

Spitfire looks to him. "Got to change."

"One thing before you go. You talked about sibling problems like you have experience." Blitz says.

Spitfire chuckles. "Yeah, you can count Soarin as my brother. Not really though. Though he's still acting like an obnoxious brother."

"I get the feeling you have a true sibling." Blitz says. 'Note to self, get my Spitfire to talk about her family when I get home.' Blitz thinks.

Spitfire smiled. "Yeah, I kinda do, but she's isn't much in my opinion."

"I'm willing to listen if you want to talk." Blitz says.

Spitfire sighs. "Maybe later. I got to get to class now."

"Ok, I'll see you on the field." Blitz says getting up and heading to the men's changing room.

He soon opens his locker and finds his bag full of his armor. "I think you and I getting closer." He said putting the earbuds in.

"Want to get closer on our own?" A female voice asks from the end of the line of lockers.

Blitz looks to see one of the Dazzlings standing there. "Who are you and what are you doing in the boy's locker room? You know what, let us drop the act. I know you are a siren." Blitz says.

Dusk raises an eyebrow. "Wow. You're good, but somewhat bad. However, do you know what we do?"

"Yeah, but I got a question for you. Why do you hang around those other two when they treat you like dirt?" Blitz asks.

Dusk glares at him. "Shut up. Look, just listen to my song and at least give a crap."

"You know, you have failed to take something into account." Blitz says turning on the music.

Dusk tilts her head. "What are you doing?"

"Oh nothing, just getting my 9mm pistol." Blitz says withdrawing the pistol from his backpack.

Dusk starts backing up. "Wait, what are you doing?"

"Like I said, you didn't take into account I might be armed. So what if we make a deal?" Blitz ask tapping the pistol in his hand before removing the ammo to inspect them.

Dusk gulps. "Um…what's stopping me from getting you now?"

"What, I can't hear you." Blitz says pointing to the earbuds.

Dusk's eyes widen. "Um…oh boy."

"So you feeling up to a deal?" Blitz asks.

Dusk kept backing up as Blitz approached her. "Um…well…oh crap…maybe."

"Ok, tell me how much do you want to go home to Equestria?" Blitz whispers into her ear.

Dusk gulps as she hits the wall. "Um…yeah."

"What if the deal involved that?" Blitz asks getting her attention.

Dusk looks to him. "If…I could go."

"I came from there." Blitz says.

Dusk kept trying to look behind him and see the many doors. "Um…that sounds good."

"And you get to come with me back there if you do as I ask, ok?" Blitz asks putting the gun away.

Dusk watches the gun. "Okay."

"Alright, first off, ditch the other two after the battle of the bands. Say you're going on a date. You'll be with me for tonight. Oh and you're going to get to feed on negative energy a lot." Blitz says.

Dusk nods as she tries to move side to side to get away slowly. "Okay."

"Also, I will say four things now. First, don't feed too greatly on me as it could end up costing you, second, you best go because this is the boys changing room, third, tell the other two and the deal is off, and finally, you are quite cute." Blitz says walking away.

Dusk was left still and blushing as he grabbed his bag and closes the locker door and grabs his gym clothes to which Dusk rushes out before anyone sees her.

"Vinyl, do me a favor and watch her. I don't trust her." Blitz says as he starts to change.

Vinyl comes out from the door and hides behind a wall. "Gotcha. But is the deal a good idea?"

"We shall see, but if she happens to start going back on it, you could hypnotize her." Blitz says.

Vinyl chuckles. "Got it. Want me to bring in my twin?"

"You need someone to attend classes, don't you?" Blitz asks.

Vinyl grins. "I need to pass my grades anyway."

"Alright, you best go before the rest of the boys get here." Blitz says tying his shoes.

Vinyl chuckles. "Alright. Just call us both when they do their show."

"I'll be setting a few things up for later tonight." Blitz says.

Vinyl nods. "We'll be ready just in case. Remember, we got headphones when they start, okay?"

"You know, I haven't turn them off. I'm lip-reading right now." Blitz says.

Vinyl chuckles. "Great job. Alright, I'll see ya later." She said walking away.

Blitz nods as he heads out to the gym just in time to see Rainbow come in.

"Hey Blitz, how's it going?" Rainbow asks running over to him.

"Fine, just waiting for gym to start." Blitz says.

Rainbow smiled. "You ready for the battle at least?"

"I won't be able to be there for the qualifying round, but I can be there for the finals for you girls." Blitz says.

Rainbow smirks. "Good, I don't think your sis would want her big brother to miss that one when she and her friends wins it." She said poking his chest.

"Oh, I won't miss it." Blitz says smiling at her from behind his sunglasses.

Rainbow clicks her tongue. "And don't use that eye trick."

"That's not a trick. Females usually react that way to me if they stare into my eyes too long. Why do you think I wear these?" Blitz says.

Rainbow huffs. "At least you're cute." She said turning away and hiding her blush.

"I look forward to your performance Dash." Blitz says.

Rainbow growls. "Hate ya."

"What? I'm sure it will be amazing. I mean you practiced a lot on it." Blitz says naively.

'That naivety of his is so annoying, yet it is also kind of cute and endearing.' Rainbow thinks as other students started entering for the class and Rainbow headed to the girls locker room.

Blitz chuckles at the sour look on her face. "Still cute." He said before heading to the field and waited for the teacher.

Blitz sighs as he waits for the siren at a mexican restaurant. He checks his watch again as Dusk walks in. "About time. Anymore and the deal is off."

Dusk rubs her arm. "Sorry."

"I wasn't waiting long. You eat yet?" Blitz asks.

Dusk shakes her head. "No, we don't eat much."

"Well order what you want." Blitz says.

Dusk sighs and sits down as she tries to decide what to eat.

Blitz just sits there as she orders and eats.

Dusk noticed him watching and tries to look away. 'What does he have planned?'

"Tell me how good is your siren manipulating ability?" Blitz asks.

Dusk jumps a little and drops her food. "Um…well, it's good."

"I just need it to manipulate two people at max." Blitz says.

Dusk nods. "And…it depends how strong they are."

"Normal humans." Blitz says.

Dusk nods. "Okay then. I think I can do that. I do this and I can go back?"

"After the battle of the bands, yes. I will also let you live at my expense if you want. We have a castle made half out of crystals if you want to live there." Blitz says.

Dusk gulps. "Um…why?"

"I take care of people in my employ. Did I forget that was part of the deal?" Blitz asks.

Dusk nods and pushes her fingers together nervously. "Um…kinda."

"Well now you know. You'll get to live the high life as well." Blitz says.

Dusk looks at him carefully. "Why?"

"Well was just thinking you keep working for me when we get home just in case I need you." Blitz says.

Dusk tries to speak. "Why treat me like this?"

"Why not? I like you. You're cute and quirky, but I am also cautious too." Blitz says. "So do we have a deal after we get home?" Blitz asks.

Dusk watches him as she gains a blush. "Yeah."

"Ok." Blitz says extending his hand.

Dusk looks at it before taking it and shaking it. "Yeah."

"Ok, when you finish up, we will go do the job for tonight." Blitz says.

Dusk nods before going back to eating. After she was done eating she followed him to the docks. "So who do I go for?"

"Oh, your targets is on their way." Blitz says as a car comes into view. "Time for the show." Blitz says.

Dusk inhaled and started singing and the car soon comes to a stop and the driver and a middle aged man with a scar on his mouth step out. The two men walk up to Blitz and Dusk and stare blankly. Blitz pulls out a pack of white stuff with a cord and hands it to the scared man. "Have him pull the cord and throw it at the driver when it starts to smoke after we are far enough away." Blitz says wrapping an arm around Dusk and leads her away with him.

Dusk keeps singing as they walk away and soon after they rounded a building, they heard an explosion from where they left them. Dusk sighs as she stops singing. "So…am I good?"

"You are golden. Now one moment, I have to make a call to the police." Blitz says getting out his phone.

Dusk waits at the corner as Blitz steps away for a bit and calls the police before her own rings. She takes it out and answers it. "Hello?"

"Police, I think I just witnessed a gang execution." Blitz says faking a frantic voice.

"Stay on line. We will be there soon. Where are you?" The operator asks.

"At the docks at warehouse number 7." Blitz says as he started to assemble two fishing poles.

"Alright, police will be there soon. Stay around and stay on the phone." The operator said.

"Oh no, I think we have been spotted." Blitz says suddenly as he plays a prerecorded gunshot. 'No one stays on the phone anymore.' He thinks as he smashes the phone.

Blitz sighs as he looks to Dusk on the phone as well and shaking a bit. "Yeah, yeah, I got him." Blitz eyes her. "Oh yeah, completely under my control." Dusk says. "Yeah, okay I will." She said before hanging up.

"Want to tell me what that was about?" Blitz asks as they quickly move away from the docks.

Dusk looks to him. "They were wondering if I got you yet."

"I see, so I noticed your amulet sucking in something green. You get any energy from them?" Blitz asks.

Dusk nods. "Yeah. Lots of negative."

"I think you girls have the wrong idea as high school is low time, manipulate gangsters, they require less work and you get more energy." Blitz says walking with his arm back around her.

Dusk blushes as she tries to keep some distance. "We also need an army. Those that are young don't need much effort."

"But gangsters are armed and have contacts. Those kids most likely have never held a gun before." Blitz says.

Dusk gulps. "Who said we needed them armed?"

"You want an army, right. What good are they if they are not armed and organized?" Blitz asks.

Dusk looks to him. "They are controlled."

"So were those two, but enough about, that you can bunk with me at a friend's house tonight." Blitz says. 'Glad Twi is spending another night at Pinkie's.' Blitz thinks.

Dusk shakes her head. "No, I have to head back."

"Alright. Oh, by the way, you curious what caused that battlefield and what those bones belonged to?" Blitz asks.

Dusk shakes her head. "No, it's not helpful to us so there's no point."

"Well, I will tell you anyways, the victims were vampires and their thralls and you're next to the one who walked away after finishing them." Blitz says.

Dusk shuts her mouth as she tries not to look at him.

"And as such, I will protect you." Blitz says.

Dusk blushes a bit as she looks away.

"I will see you later. Take care, because tomorrow night, you go home." Blitz says.

Dusk was then left at the bus station as Blitz walked away, whistling a tune.

'Home.' Dusk thinks smiling.

Blitz sighs as he walks inside the house and lays down on the couch again. "Always feels good to lie down again."

"So the police managed to follow the underboss to his hideout and are in the middle of raiding it." Vinyl says from beside him as she watches the TV.

Blitz chuckles as he puts his head on her lap. "Yeah. Knew that would work."

"Why did you do that anyways?" Vinyl asks.

"Call it a favor to myself." Blitz says.

Vinyl shakes her head. "Oh Blitz." She said now petting his head.

"So how is S. Vinyl dealing with Terran?" Blitz asks.

Vinyl smiled. "Oh playing here and slobber there."

"I see he is kicking his leg again." Blitz says watching him sleep.

Vinyl giggles. "Yeah, it's kind of cute. Are you okay for now?"

"Yeah, everything is in place and all that is left is for the finals." Blitz says.

Vinyl sighs. "So, what do you want to do in the meantime?"

"I heard Octavia lost to Twi and the rest so let's cheer her up." Blitz says.

Vinyl smiled. "What do you got planned?"

"You think you can stand some classical tonight?" Blitz asks.

Vinyl groans. "For her."

"Set up the music to play in here, I'll go get her in her room." Blitz says getting up.

Vinyl sighs. "Yeah." She said getting up.

Blitz walked to Octavia's room and knocks on the door.

"Come in." A tired voice said.

Blitz opens the door and enters. "Hey Octy." Blitz says.

Octavia looks at him from her laying down in bed. "Hey."

"You ok?" Blitz asks sitting on her bed.

Octavia sighs. "More or less."

"Come here." Blitz says bringing her into a hug.

Octavia sighs as she hugs him back and puts her head in his chest. "Thanks Blitz."

"Come on, I know something that will make you feel better." Blitz says picking Octavia up and carrying her bridal style to the living room.

Octavia wraps her arms around his neck. "What's going on?"

"You tell me." Blitz says as they start hearing classical music.

Octavia smiled and puts her head on his chest. "Thanks Blitz."

"Thanks, but Vinyl she choose the song." Blitz says.

Octavia giggles as they sit down on the couch with Vinyl joining them. "Thanks Vinyl."

"Nice to be appreciated." Vinyl says.

Blitz chuckles as he holds Octavia closer. "Please, you have been getting it from a lot."

"I'm curious now." Octavia says removing Blitz's sunglasses.

Octavia just ends up staring at them as Vinyl puts on her headphones.

"V…Vinyl, are you seeing this?" Octavia asks.

Vinyl chuckles. "Already did."

"Are you sure your eyes don't have a hypnotic effect?" Octavia asks.

Blitz shakes his head. "No, girls just like my eyes. Do you?"

"I want you." Octavia says.

"So they can't find Twilight or any of the girls anywhere?" Blitz asks Octavia.

Octavia shakes her head as they walk through the school, the earbuds in Blitz's ear. "No, none of them."

"Octy, I'm going to go get Vinyl. We can find them with my pet." Blitz says.

Octavia nods. "Okay, she should be nearby in the parking lot. She was going to the music store with him, but I think she's on her phone still."

"Can I use yours, I kind of had to smash mine." Blitz says.

Octavia sighs and takes hers out. "Don't smash it, it's expensive."

Blitz nods before calling Vinyl. "Hey Vinyl, it's me. Something has come up, can you bring my pet to the school for me?" Blitz asks.

Vinyl sighs. "Sure, we'll be right there."

"Thanks, sorry to inconvenience you." Blitz says.

"Eh, anything for my mate. Coming now." Vinyl said before hanging up.

"Thanks Octy." Blitz says handing her phone back to her.

Octavia nods. "The finals are coming up. You better suit up just in case."

"I doubt there will be a need. I have faith." Blitz says.

Octavia chuckles. "Alright. Let's go." She continuing to walk.

"You go on acting as nothing unusual is happening, ok?" Blitz ask.

Octavia waves at him. "You got it."

"Thanks." Blitz says before waiting behind the school until Vinyl's car pulls up.

Vinyl sighs as she gets out with Terran. "Alright, what do we got?"

"Twi and her band have been missing for quite a while and no one can find them." Blitz says going around back and opening the back allowing Terran to jump out.

Vinyl nods. "Alright, I'll hit the top floor and search for them there."

"No need. Terran, find Twilight and stay hidden." Blitz says.

Terran barks before heading inside.

Terran eventually lead them to a door under the stage. As Blitz was going to open it, he heard six thuds against it.

He leans down and looks under the door and sees a pile of bodies blocking most of the way. "Dang it. Vinyl, find another way. Preferably, the ceiling." He whispered. Blitz then knocks before he heard movement before trying again, this time opening the door. "Hello, is everything okay in here?" He asks checking where his gun is before he steps through.

"Blitz." Twilight says hugging him. "Wait, how did you find us?" Twilight asks.

"With a little help from my companion." Blitz says as Terran popped his head around the corner.

Twilight steps a bit back before nodding. "Okay, let's get back up. The show is about to start."

"What in tarnation is that?!" Applejack yells.

Blitz smirks. "My pet."

"It's as big as a bear." Rainbow says.

"Oh, he is like a fish dog." Fluttershy says scratching its head.

Terran happily pants as he nuzzles her hand back.

Blitz sighs. "You girls better get going. Like Twilight said, the show is about go on."

"Oh right." The girls says as Vinyl goes to get her car.

They quickly run out and head outside and runs to the stage nearby and Blitz follows as he heads for the crowd to stay hidden a bit as they reach the hill on the other side. "Okay, how are we going to get them to listen from up here?" Rainbow asks.

"You really can't get a good set up, can you?" Vinyl asks as she drives up in her car before it transforms into a mini DJ stand with lights and everything.

'Where did Vinyl even get that?' Blitz thinks.

Vinyl chuckles as she sees the shocked faces. "What, I have a lot of cash on the side."

Rainbow shakes herself out of it. "Alright girls. Let's do this."

Blitz watches as the two groups notice each other and start to play as the Dazzlings sing louder. After a bit, he walks closer to the Dazzlings as they both light up with an aura around them and their magic clashed with each other and Sunset started singing with the group.

Blitz chuckles. "Nice job Twilight. You really know how to bring others together." He said to himself as he notices the other people in the area were either going blank or cheering at the two groups. "Come on. Snap out of it…oh boy." He said to himself as he notices more people stop cheering and the dazzling's magic getting closer to Twilight and the others. "Crap." He said to himself as he walks out of the crowd and slightly up the stage before peeking out and sees the magic now too close to Twilight and the others. "Dang it. Why?" He asks himself before looking to the Dazzlings and sees them smirking, expect Dusk, but then feels the girder he's touching shake a bit and looks to it before following it and sees S. Vinyl on top above the Dazzlings.

He smiles before screams were heard from the hill and he quickly turns to look at Twilight and the others hit by the dazzling's magic and eventually stops playing. "Not good." He said to himself as he sees Vinyl trying something and waves at him…or was it him? Soon the music from the Rainbooms came back to life and was stronger than ever. He chuckles as the Dazzlings try even harder and actually started to change with their skin going to scales. "Huh, so this is a siren." He said to himself as he used his glasses to take images of them for the database and tilts his head as Twilight and the others change their forms too.

Blitz smirks and looks to see the sirens start to change their forms and soon a heavy fog came out from around them and soon covered them up before three dragon like heads with horns came out and still singing could be heard even through the dragon's mouths aren't moving. Blitz looks over to Twilight and the others as they also gain an aura around them and soon was covered by a bright light before an alicorn figure came out and both groups clashed against each other.

The alicorn soon pushes the dragons back before smacking them across the faces and then pushes way and once they reach back to the stage does the alicorn rear back and fires a spell at them and everything and the songs stop. Blitz watches as the alicorn heads back to Twilight and the others and disappeared as the fog and aura's disappeared as well. He soon sees the Dazzlings on the ground as they try to stand up again and Blitz sees some shards on the ground. "Not bad. Not bad at all." He said to himself as he scans the shards.

The Dazzlings soon got back up as the crowd groans as they rub their heads and Twilight and the others cheer. Dazzle growls as she gets up before grabbing something from her blouse and squeezes it in her hand before another aura appeared around her and the other two backs away as Dazzle soon was covered up by a fog and makes a dragon come out again and roars at them. Blitz growls before S. Vinyl drops from the girder and actually flies straight down and punches it right in the head before hitting the horn and then quickly flies up. The dragon soon disappears in thin air as Dazzle groans and falls flat on her face.

Blitz raises an eyebrow as he sees S. Vinyl give him a thumbs up. "Thanks V."

"Anytime." S. Vinyl says disappearing again.

Blitz sighs in relief as the crowd watches the Dazzlings for anything else as Twilight starts to walk down to the stage. "Hey Blitz." She said walking past him in her half pony form.

Blitz waves back as Flash Sentry runs up to her. 'See you soon.' Blitz sends.

Twilight nods before Flash stops her. "Twilight, whoa. Again, huh? What the heck happened this time?"

"Sirens. Close to the mythology." Twilight says.

Blitz leans against the exit door as the Dazzles approached. "Hey." Blitz says smirking.

Dusk sighs as the other two glares. "Hey, so do we still have a deal?" Dusk asks.

"You already fulfilled your end of the bargain. So got an argument for why I should include the other two?" Blitz asks.

Dusk looks to them as they looked surprised at her. "Actually, they need time or none at all."

"Want to leave them stranded in this world then?" Blitz asks.

Dusk nods. "Yeah, until they get the message."

"I gotcha." Blitz says opening the door.

Dusk sighs as she walks through the door as Twilight and the others were being cheered at and getting their prize. "Thanks again." She said walking past him.

"Don't mention it." Blitz says as Octavia was waiting with Terran in her car.

Blitz sighs as he looks to the other two just standing there surprised. "Yeah, she's coming back home. You two are officially staying here to learn your lesson. Or whatever Twilight said and speak of the queen, here she is. Bye now." Blitz said as he walks out while Twilight walks up to the slack jawed Dazzlings.

Blitz smiled as he approached Dusk. "You okay?"

Dusk sighs. "I just abandoned my only friends. How do you think I feel?"

"From what I saw, they were only using you." Blitz says.

Dusk looks to him. "At least they treated me like that counted something as a friend."

"Well now you are with me and will make new friends soon." Blitz says holding her shoulder to give her emotional support.

Dusk sighs. "Fine. Can we go now?"

"Sure after we pick up two others." Blitz says as they get in the car.

Dusk sighs as she looks back and sees Twilight still talking to the other two. "At least they have a chance."

"Let's hope they take it and maybe we can fix your amulet." Blitz says.

Dusk looks surprised. "What?"

"Twilight and I are very smart unicorns. We may be able to fix it." Blitz says as Terran sticks his head up in between the middle seats. "Oh and meet Terran, my pet."

Dusk looks surprised and stares at him as he does as well before he licks her cheek and she giggles. "He's cute and a…fish?"

"Actually, he is a verran which I guess most think he is a hybrid of a fish and a dog." Blitz says.

Dusk laughs as she pets Terran and he licks her cheek. "Still cute."

"Good, because you will see him a lot." Blitz says.

Dusk was still laughing as she played with Terran and Octavia drives them to the spot where Blitz asked her to. "So, you got everything?" Blitz asks Octavia.

"Yeah, Vinyl says we'll leave tomorrow." Octavia says coming to a stop.

"I'll be back soon. Don't leave the car, ok?" Blitz asks.

Octavia nods as he steps out and walks into the club and is escorted to the V.I.P. booth. "So I did as you asked and have set everything in place. All you have to do is take my place tomorrow." Blitz says.

The person that looks like Blitz, sitting on a couch, sighs. "Hope I can live up to your reputation."

"Of course you can, you are me after all." Blitz says sitting on the couch and slips on the metal helmet.

The other Blitz sighs and grabs the helmet. "I don't have to do the things you do, right?"

"You are your own person. I have already let it slip to one of members of the wonderbolts that you don't really have an interest in joining and want to become a medic or a scientist." Blitz says.

The other Blitz chuckles. "Yeah, never was that interested in sports." He said putting on the helmet.

"It's funny, we are both still mandalorians. Well no use in putting this off any longer." Blitz says switching on the machine and the Blitz of this universe lived the memories of the since he came to this universe in an instant.

The other Blitz groans as he takes off the helmet. "You think I can score all of them?"

"Easily, we are the same, just be yourself and if anyone asks, Twilight has gone with your parents and you've decided to stay here instead of traveling the country." Blitz says.

The other Blitz nods. "Got it. Well, you better get going. I think time is now getting close to ending and I have to take your place."

"Just go slow with Spitfire, she…" Blitz was cut off by his counterpart. "In an uncertain stage in her life and unsure if she wants a guy."

"Great minds read the same way." Blitz says.

"Or just share memories to speed things along." The other Blitz said with a smirk.

"Well, I best go. Got a few things still need to do and you best get ready to start high school." Blitz says.

The other Blitz groans. "The things I do for love."

"And yourself." Blitz says leaving.

"So…did you deal with anything you needed?" Octavia asks after he got back into the car.

"Yes, my replacement starts tomorrow." Blitz says as Octavia starts driving as Blitz notices Dusk scratching Terran's stomach.

Octavia smiled. "Ah, good. Then you better leave before he comes."

"Don't worry about that." Blitz says.

The next morning Octavia stops at the entrance to Canterlot high and she drops them off at where Twilight was standing. "Here we are, last stop for you. Me, Vinyl and S. Vinyl will be with you guys shortly."

Blitz sighs as he gets out with Dusk who had a pretty small bag and walks over to Twilight. "Hey Twi. So we ready to go?" Blitz asks.

"Just saying bye to my frie…Pinkie, please stop looking through the portal." Twilight says pulling at her collar.

Blitz chuckles as he looks behind himself and see Dusk getting out with Terran. He smiles as she walks over and kept petting Terran's head before he nuzzles her hand back and jumps through the portal. "You ready?" He asks her.

"Yeah, but just to be safe, can I wait till I walk through with both of you?" Dusk asks nervously.

Blitz smiled. "Of course. After all, you got another world to explore." He said as Twilight was just finishing up.

Twilight sighs and looks to Blitz. "Better get going. Who knows how long we left them worrying?"

"Did I forget to mention, it appears this portal hooked up our universe's times to run parallel to each other?" Blitz asks.

Twilight frowns. "No, you missed that part."

"Awesome that means we have less trouble." Vinyl said walking up with a bag.

"Yeah." S. Vinyl says causing the girls to stare.

Sunset could only point between the two. "If there are two Vinyls, then who was with us at the hill?"

Vinyl raises a hand. "Oh, that be me. Got a shop to run you know."

Octavia giggles as walks over. "Don't forget about me. Oh and you girls can have this." She said giving them some keys.

Vinyl chuckles as they stare at the keys. "Yeah, that's our cars, my shop. Keep running it, pay the bills and all that crap and of course our house."

"Sunset is smart enough to handle that." Blitz says.

Vinyl grins. "Good and now she officially has a home in this world, well legally."

"Ok, put those two to work as well." Twilight says.

"We will. Don't worry your smarty, smart head." Pinkie said.

"Oh, that reminds me. I got a surprise for you girls staying here." Blitz says.

They all tilt their heads. "What is it?" Fluttershy asks.

"Oh look, here he comes now." Blitz says as someone rode up on a motorcycle wearing the same outfit as Blitz.

The person looks to them before removing his helmet and shows his face. "Hi there." He said giving a wave.

Twilight looks surprised. "Is he the same as you, mandalorian and all?"

"Oh I'm unsure about that, why don't you ask him." Blitz says as the other Blitz walks up.

Twilight looks to him and studies him carefully. "So…are a mandalorian and have almost the same skills and everything as this Blitz?" She asks pointing to the Blitz beside her.

"We haven't had a formal competition." This world's Blitz says.

"Well there is a big difference. He studies medicine and science." Blitz says.

Twilight looks to this world's Blitz. "Our Blitz isn't a doctor and mostly is a master at commanding."

"Like how this world's version of you is older and a cougar." Blitz says.

The other Blitz chuckles. "Yeah, just need to deal with love a little better than you. You really got lucky in that department."

"Wasn't until I met my girls and you are a few years younger than me." Blitz says.

The other Blitz smirks. "Thought you have been whipped."

"No comment on those activities. Now we best go before someone spots two Vinyls and two Blitzkriegs." Blitz says.

Twilight quickly grabs her bag and grabs his wrist and pulls him along. "Come on."

Dusk bows to them before going through the portal with Octavia. "See ya." Vinyl says as she and S. Vinyl walk through.

The girls were still staring at the other Blitz as Pinkie jumps excitedly. "So…are you a bounty hunter like that Prey game?" She asks.

"Mandalorians usually work as bounty hunters if we are not at war or if we have free time." Blitz says.

Pinkie giggles and hugs him. "I like this Blitzy. Can we keep him?" She asks the slack jawed others.

"Good to be home. Now, I'm going to go find Arcane." Twilight says running off.

Blitz chuckles as he heard Dusk behind him. "Well this is unexpected." Turning around, Blitz saw a pony instead of a siren.

Blitz smiled. "Welcome back home to Equestria. Just be careful of the princess and all the archivists. They might turn you in or banish you. Also, because of the time lapse that was originally between those two worlds, it's been close to a thousand years since you were banished by Starswirl the Bearded."

Dusk looks herself over and sees the necklace still there, but the jewel was broken. "I think I might be sleeping more without any energy." She said touching it.

Blitz nods taking it with his magic and puts it in his saddlebag. "Me and Twi will work on it." Blitz says as somepony lands on him.

"Hey love, you're finally back." Vinyl says.

Blitz smirks before looking to the portal and sees Octavia coming through and then two more Vinyl comes through. "Got a surprise for you." He said walking over to them as S. Vinyl had demonic wings.

Vinyl looks over to the group and grins. "Cool." She said before jumping off and checking them out. "So…what's different and you found her? Where was she?" She said pointing to S. Vinyl.

"Different universe." Blitz says as S. Vinyl tackles her.

"V! V!" S. Vinyl cheers. "It's so good to see you again. Do you still like me?" She asks hugging her tightly.

"I have been having my husband look everywhere for you, what do you think?" Vinyl asks.

S. Vinyl chuckles and starts peppering her with kisses. "I love ya V." She said still kissing her.

"Well I'll show you three around and introduce you to your counterpart here Octavia." Blitz says.

Octavia smiled. "Thanks Blitz. Mind if we see this Arcane Twilight keeps talking about?"

"That's the name of her foal and I would think you would prefer to see Azure, your counterparts foal." Blitz says.

Octavia giggles. "I think I would like that."

"Ok and take your time, using hooves isn't that easy." Blitz says noticing the three were struggling to stand.

Vinyl, who was still wearing the same kind of clothes as the human one, was struggling to walk over. "How about me? Did Vinyl here ever had kids?"

"I'm actually pregnant right now." Vinyl says.

"That makes four who are currently pregnant." Blitz says.

"Five, Shadow, was confirmed to be pregnant yesterday. I think she stopped bouncing now." Vinyl says.

Blitz chuckles. "Oh, that's how I expected her to react. At least she finally has that foal she's been asking for."

"You bet, she is already tearing through foal name books." Vinyl says.

Blitz laughs. "Yeah, better get to her before she picks an oh so obvious name."

"She was thinking Hurricane last I heard from her." Vinyl says.

Blitz's eyes widen. "Better hurry before she makes it permanently." He said before rushing off.

"I'll show you mares the way if you can get S. V. off me." Vinyl says.

The other Vinyl and Octavia laugh as S. Vinyl nuzzles Vinyl happily.

Blitz opens the door to Shadow's room. "Shadow, you here?" Blitz calls looking to the books strode along the floor.

Shadow looks up and smiles greatly and rushes over to him and hugs him. "Blitzy! You won't believe it!"

"You're pregnant." Blitz says hugging back.

Shadow nuzzles him. "I'm so happy right now, but can you stay for a while and help me with a name?"

"Now, now love, there is no need to rush, you have quite some time before the foal arrives." Blitz says petting her.

Shadow purrs. "I love you Blitzy."

"Also I brought home three more ponies. I will go into full details later." Blitz says.

Shadow was still enjoying the petting. "Still love ya."

Blitz smiles and hugs her again. "Love you too." He said before looking around the room. "When did you eat last?"

"At breakfast, the chefs sent me two helpings." Shadow says.

Blitz smiled. "And what time is it now?"

"Um…near lunch." Shadow says.

Blitz chuckles. "Come on, we are all going to have lunch here as a family." Blitz says.

Shadow keeps hugging him as they head down to the dining room and finds most of the mares and foals there. "Hey guys." Blitz said sitting down after Shadow lets him go. "So what did I miss?"

Blitz's answer came in the form of a wave of foals. "Alright guys, that's enough." Blitz pleaded as all the kids hugged him.

"Oh they are almost as cute as Terran." Dusk says.

Blitz chuckles as he hugs them back. "Yeah, they are and maybe better. After all, they are my foals, right?" He asks the foals.

The foals somehow made little halos appear over their heads.

Blitz laughs and hugs them again. "I love and miss you guys." He said nuzzling them.

"Kind of disappointed you didn't bring back another me. But I guess you couldn't handle two mares like me." Rainbow says.

Blitz smirks. "Fifty bits says you're wrong."

"Oh, I don't see one. So I'll take a different sort of payment." Rainbow says smirking.

Blitz chuckles deviously. "Got it, though bring a cup and I'll make a pretty good payment."

"Oh no, I get to decide." Rainbow says.

Blitz laughs. "It's great to be back Rainbow. That place for some reason was stupid. And Twilight, what did that Flash guy want with you?"

"He wanted to talk about our relationship. He was shocked to learn it had been years for me and I was married. Though to mess with him, I told him it was to a mare which is technically true." Twilight says.

Blitz grins. "I'm guessing I'm rubbing off on you."

"But I'm still better, aren't I Arcane?" Twilight as nuzzling him.

Arcane cheers and hugs her nose and kisses it.

"That's my colt." Twilight says.

Arcane cheers and climbs up onto her head.

Blitz sighs. "Great to be back."

"Yeah love and you need to be here for a few other reason." Applejack says.

Blitz raises an eyebrow. "Oh?"

"Five to be exact darling." Rarity says.

Blitz sweatdrops. "Oh dear. I'm not getting sleep, am I?"

"Probably not when all five foals we are expecting are born." Daring says.

Blitz sighs. "Alright, but you better get ready your sleepless nights too."

"I know, I have helped a little with Azure and Arcane already." Daring says.

Blitz groans. "Oh boy. Out of one area and into another."

"So Blitzy, is the siren included?" Twilight asks.

Blitz nods. "Yeah. She has to learn this area and things going on before real…oh ho, you mean is she included in our family now." Twilight nods and Blitz smiled. "Yes, she is. What kind of stallion would I be if I treated her like a prisoner?"

"Oh so we going to aim for her to carry a foal soon too?" Twilight asks.

Blitz looks to Dusk trying to eat. "Her life, her choice."

"I'll make another place." Octavia says as Dusk was now shocked speechless.

Blitz smiled. "Thanks Octy." He said as Dusk stared at Octavia.

"How…?" She tries to ask.

"Dear, I am a vampire." Octavia says flashing her fangs.

Dusk recoils a bit. "I thought they were myths."

"Like Sirens?" Octavia asks.

Dusk frowns a little. "Good point."

"Don't make the choice so soon." Blitz says.

Dusk was still trying to think.

"Now after lunch, how about we…" Blitz whispers into Twilight's ear and she nods to him before whispering to another mare.

Blitz smirks as he looks to the new mares who were confused. "What?" Dusk asks.

Blitz chuckles as he watches the new mares try to float around. "Having fun?" He asks as Minerva pilots the Darkstar and head to the Darkline.

Azure laughs as he spins around in the air. Octavia chuckles and grabs him and brings him into a hug. "You like this, don't ya?" She asks nuzzling him.

Rainbow smiles as Spectrum and Blast hang onto her wing as she floats by. Twilight giggles as Arcane tries to flap his wings and nearly moves. "My little smart colt." She said grabbing him and kisses his head.

Sunshine laughs as she rolls with Pinkie. Blitz sighs as Blazer floats on by and uses his swords as stopping sticks. "Take it easy with those." Blitz warns.

"Sorry dad." Blazer says.

"We are in a stable orbit." Lightning says in the co-pilot seat.

Blitz smiled. "How has the hunting been going?"

"Not bad. Killed a Hydra that was harassing a few settlements, not sure where to mount the skulls." Lightning says.

Blitz chuckles. "That's my girl." He said as they see the Darkline coming into view. "Hey, where's the fillies? It has been a while."

"There grounding ended earlier today." Lightning says as Dusk came spinning uncontrollably at them.

"Help." Dusk said as she floated by.

"I'll handle that." Blitz says unbuckling and floating after her.

Dusk flails in the air until Blitz grabs her and holds her as he floats back to his seat. "Having fun getting your space legs?"

"How do you do this?" Dusk asks.

Blitz smiled as he sat down. "Experience and time. Besides having fun." He said as they dock.

Dusk chuckles nervously. "Then do you have any tricks?"

Blitz shrugs. "Well, there is using the walls and that and keeping yourself level and flat against a surface. Everything else, you can learn."

Dusk smiles. "That's a good trick."

"Getting used to hooves or the fact that it has nearly been a thousand years since you were banished?" Blitz asks.

Dusk looks around to the others having fun moving around except for S. Vinyl and the Vinyl and Octavia of the other world. "Both, maybe."

"You can sit here if you want." Blitz says.

Dusk smiled. "That sounds nice."

Blitz nods as a shake rattles through the ship and the doors open. "Call Spike and have him meet us." Blitz said as he gets up and floats out the cockpit. They all start to follow or grab a fellow pony and get dragged or floated out the door and follows Blitz.

Soon they hit the artificial gravity and started walking towards the bridge. "That's better." S. Vinyl said.

Blitz chuckles as they enter the elevator and head down before the door opens and Spike was standing there in his commander's outfit. "Hey Spike. How's it been around here?" Blitz asks.

"Busy. Please make this quick, I have to go to Omega to link up with the tankers Aria is sending to deliver the fuel we bought for our reserves." Spike says.

Blitz smiled. "Ah good. At least you are really working. Say hello to the newest additions to our new family." He said stepping aside and shows the new mares.

"Really, can't keep it to yourself can you?" Spike asks.

Blitz frowns. "Shut up."

"Spike, this is your brother in law." Twilight reminded.

Spike huffs. "Yeah, now, what are planning to do here? I have to take the Darkline soon."

"Well wanted to show the new additions and the foals what it is like in space. Also, buy some of this jewel from Aria and don't eat any." Blitz whispers the last part.

Spike raises an eyebrow. "You know I'm past that." Blitz holds out a ruby. "I'll try not to eat any." Spike said taking it and eating it.

Blitz smiled. "Good. And try to pick up our favorite mod for our weapons."

Spike chuckles. "You do realize there are now EMP guns based on my system, right?"

Blitz raises an eyebrow. "And you ordered?"

Spike huffs. "You kidding? They are ours so technically we could use them for free. After all, we are the nicknamed the 'Testing Ship' a lot."

Blitz smiled. "Great. Well, I'm going to get them some food for them and the foals. How long until you ship out?"

"Thirty minutes. We delayed for you." Spike says.

Blitz nods. "Ah, got that. Well, we might be quick, we might not. We might even stay 'accidentally'." He said smirking.

"Nope, all unscheduled arrives must leave before, then no exception besides the Griffon king sent a message, he wants to meet with you." Spike says.

Blitz looks to him. "He sent it to you?"

Spike huffs. "You kidding, he sent it to main command."

Blitz sighs. "Alright, I'll give them a quick show around and maybe mark their rooms for once they are ready to come along. After that, we'll get out of here."

"Please be quick." Spike says.

"You've really grown Spike. I can hardly recognize you." Blitz says smiling.

Spike sighs. "At least Slender and the girls are keeping me in check. I think I almost lost myself a few times."

"By the way, the CMC finished their grounding so when you get back, go see them, ok?" Blitz asks.

Spike smiled. "That was my plan for a long time. At least I was able to talk to them in the meantime. Though, are they going to allow long trips now?"

"Got to get their sister's permission first, remember what happened last time they took off without their permission?" Blitz says.

Spike huffs. "How could I not?"

"Remind them of that so we don't have a repeat, ok?" Blitz asks.

Spike nods. "Yeah, they really don't a repeat anyway."

"Ok, see you Spike." Blitz says walking past.

"Come home next chance you get." Twilight says before kissing his cheek.

Spike blushes. "Twilight. Save that for your son. I'm not going to get those anymore." He said before a few tendrils appeared behind the group. "Well…from you Twilight."

Rainbow lightly hits his head with a hoof. "Stay out of trouble squirt." Rainbow says walking by.

Spike chuckles as her foals tries to hit his head. "Yeah and you can't." He said as a door opened to a black room.

"Stay close girls, we don't have long." Blitz says.

Spike smiled as the other foals hug him and run after their family as Slender comes up behind him. "Such cute foals and family." She said.

"You noticed Daring is pregnant?" Spike asks.

Slender huffs. "How could I not? She's huge." She said emphasizing with her hooves and her tendrils catches a chair behind thrown at her. "At least her hearing hasn't lessened. So what about the other four?" Slender asks.

Spike sighs. "Blitz mentioned that they are still in the early stages. Half of them already showing, but healthy and everything important."

"Especially the fat pegasus." Slender says.

Another chair was thrown and Slender catches it. "She's got quite a throwing leg though."

Spike shakes his head. "What would I do without you Slender?"

Slender shrugs. "Eh, go crazy, maybe make a killing."

Spike smiles. "Good point. So…dinner?"

Slender giggles. "Please." She said as they walk off.

"That is big." S. Vinyl said in Blitz's room and eyes the ship.

"It is a star ship." Blitz says as they undock from the Darkline and not long after it and four other ships warp out.

Blitz sighs. "Okay, there it goes. Should take almost a week or two. Now then, we have to head back because of not enough room and of course there is barely anything to do here. But, we do have more fun in Ponyville. I believe that Pinkie is planning some party for our 'Congratulations on winning in the human world.' and 'Welcome new family.' party."

"Would you like help Pinkie?" Twilight asks.

Pinkie shakes her head as Sunshine hangs on at the top of her head. "Nah, I got this little one, right?" She said rolling her eyes up to see her foal.

"But what if she falls into the batter?" Twilight asks.

Pinkie giggles. "Then she can have her own cake. After all, I'm making two cakes and will have many failed ones."

Twilight was about to say something else as Dusk floated by. "Help." She says.

Blitz pushes himself off and floats toward Dusk and catches her. "Is this going to be a regular thing?"

"Oh Blitzy, I just thought of somethin. How is yur mum going to react to a…" Applejack tries to ask.

"A siren, you brought home a siren?" Mary asks as they stood back in their home.

Blitz smiles nervously. "Yeah, kinda."

"Unbelievable, do I have to give you a lecture in the sea creatures?" Mary asks.

"If it helps, I can't sing my siren songs anymore." Dusk says.

Mary glares at her. "Shut up, the family is talking. Now go off to the side of the room and look pretty. Isn't that what sirens do?"

"Actually we sing to normally generate negative emotional energy to feed." Dusk says.

Blitz thinks on that. "Actually, here's a good question. Since when does great singing make negative emotions? That's like saying bad singing is good enough to make positive emotions."

"Well our songs have a hypnotic effect to them which is generated from our, *untranslatable* (the jewel), that grows in our forehead. We use that to sow negativity in others and feed off the more negativity it generates. We can also use a more advanced form of that and take full control of them." Dusk says surprising Twilight a little.

"So that's how you took control of Celestia and Luna there. Not complaining of Celestia, but I will not tolerate Luna." Twilight said.

"Indeed." Luna said to her before picking up Arcane and tickling his belly. "Who's a good boy? Who's a good boy?"

"So wait that is how you feed?" Blitz asks.

"That is mostly how we sirens bodies fed. After we went to the other world, our bodies were completely human and I think I might have a fully pony body…maybe." Dusk says.

Blitz tilts his head and looks to her before tapping her head a little. "Hm, maybe it's hidden a few features because your crystal is broken. It maybe has to compensate for the loss of your mouth as it were."

Dusk rubs her head. "Maybe. We have never lost or broken our crystals in our life. We get it when we're born."

Mary huffs. "Don't suck the life out my son and you won't get the blunt pointed end of my sword. Rusted too."

"I have got no intention of that. He brought me home after all." Dusk says as Mary caught the look in the corner of her eye.

Blitz sighs. "Well, let's at least test out the extent of your abilities and see where they stop. At least we understand what we need to do to help with you and your crystal."

"I'm not so sure that's such a good idea after what we tried after our crystals were shattered." Dusk says.

Blitz nods. "Ah, Dazzle using a potion she made. Overcharges your abilities and magic for a bit, but burns you out afterward. At least that's my guess."

"Last resort." Dusk said.

"Let us at least try." Blitz says.

Dusk sighs and opens her mouth to sing. Outside, a guard and changeling walks by. "So, what's for dinner?" The guard asks.

The changeling shrugs. "Slime for me, good old veggies for you." He said.

The guard chuckles. "Please, I feel more like…"

SMASH

They both took cover as the window nearby shattered and spilled on them and they covered their ears from ear screeching singing. "What in the matter of Luna is this?!" The guard yells pressing harder on his ears.

"Ok, ok, you can stop!" Blitz calls holding his ears.

Dusk stops her singing and sees the glass shattered. "Oops."

"Seems the crystal affected more than just that." Blitz says.

Dusk looks to see Arcane's ears being held by Twilight. "Sorry about that."

"Trial and error." Twilight says. "Its ok sweetie, it's over." Twilight says letting go of Arcane's ears.

Arcane tilts his head and looks at Dusk with a coo.

"Twi." Blitz motions her to come over.

Twilight picks up Arcane and walks over to him. "What is it?"

"I got a new project for us." Blitz whispers into her ear.

Twilight looks to him. "What is it?"

Blitz shows her the amulet for a moment and then lets it fall back into his bag.

Twilight sighs. "So, what do we do?"

"Think we can fix it?" Blitz whispers.

Twilight sighs. "I need the same thing the crystal is made of and the original type of magic used to make it."

"I took detailed images and scans of the magic with the little adjustment you made to my glasses." Blitz says.

Twilight nods. "Okay, give me the data and I'll see what I can do. Your job is to get the stuff I need though."

"Already gave Spike the list for that and we will work on it together." Blitz whispers.

Twilight smiled. "Love you Blitz."

"I know, I'm awesome and maybe borrowing Rainbow's catch phase twenty percent cooler?" Blitz asks jokingly.

Twilight hits him a bit. "Please, don't. I don't need Arcane following." She said as Arcane climbs onto her head.

"What, I'm a great influence. Look at that hat he is wearing and he has Mr. Sandy with him." Blitz says.

Arcane cheers as his hat fell a little before he pushes it up.

"Oh, did you see that, Arcane adjusted his hat himself." Blitz says.

Twilight hits him again. "Starting to hate you."

"I got it recorded for you." Blitz says in a sing song voice.

Twilight keeps hitting him. "Really starting to hate you."

"Arcane help, your mother is attacking." Blitz says as he jokingly runs away.

Twilight laughs as she runs after him. "I'm going to get you." She calls after him.

Mary smiles as they play around.

"Go on you two, catch your dad." Rainbow says.

Her foals cheer and chase after him as they keep running around the room.

"Join in Sunshine." Pinkie says.

"You can to Azure." Octavia says smiling.

They cheer and soon they all tackle Twilight and pin her with tickling.

"Mercy, mercy." Twilight calls.

They all back off as Twilight tries to get up as Blitz comes up. Only for him teleport away and onto Applejack. "What in tarnation?!" Applejack exclaimed.

"Teleportation to escape and still a hug." Blitz says smirking.

Applejack scowls. "Hate ya Blitzy."

"Oh don't be that way." Blitz says before kissing the back of her head, getting a smile.

Applejack nuzzles him. "Love ya."

"That's better." Blitz says before he felt a sudden weight on his back.

Twilight giggles and nuzzles him. "Love ya."

"Now I'm sandwiched." Blitz chuckles as Arcane lands on his head.

Twilight sighs and gets off as Luna grabs the other foals. "So cute."

"Roll Luna, you got to roll." Pinkie calls.

Luna laughs as she rolls with the foals and they roll after her.

Pinkie smiles as she starts rolling after them as well.

Blitz sighs. "I love my family."

"And it's going in more ways than one." Twilight whispers into his ear.

Blitz grins. "Yes it is."

"Ya'll mind getting off now?" Applejack asks.

Twilight smirks. "Not strong enough?"

"No, I'm carrin a little one meself." Applejack reminds.

"Oh, right. Sorry." They said getting off.

"Thanks." Applejack says before hooking her hoof around Blitz's neck and pulling him lose.

Blitz smiles and kisses her cheek. "So, you want to spend some times cuddling?"

"Yeah." Applejack says.

Blitz nuzzles her. "I will happily oblige."

"I want to be snuggled against too." Rarity says in a fake whiny voice.

Blitz wraps a hoof around her and brings her in. "Snuggles for all."

"I'll get in on that." Spitfire says.

Blitz smiled. "I'm probably the luckiest stallion alive right now."

"So how do you play a cello with hooves anyways?" E. Octavia asks.

Octavia smiled. "Hold this here and…" She explained before music started to play.

"I can't believe how long that ceremony was." Rainbow says in her formal dress.

"At least you were in one of the private booths watching from above." Blitz says in his armor.

Rainbow looks to him. "Why do we have to do this again?"

"Ceremony to make me a lord in the Griffon kingdom's court and to get a fief of my own here. Though I am surprised we got the one you ladies want. By the way, you look good in that dress." Blitz says.

Rainbow blushes and sighs. "Yeah, but that griffon over there has been staring at me for a while." She said nodding her head to a griffon.

"Oh that's major Hawk." Blitz says walking over to the griffon. "I see they patched you up." Blitz says.

Hawk shrugs and looks to his stitches. "Yeah, still taking a while."

"So how is your nestmate Gilda?" Blitz asks.

Hawk chuckles. "She's tolerable and because of this injury, she's taking it easy and letting me choose some fun."

"She here?" Blitz asks.

Hawk nods his head to the crowd behind him. "Over there." He said looking to the griffon standing there bored.

"You got her in a dress I see." Blitz says.

Hawk smirks. "Yeah, took a while and some scratches. At least she's trying to stand."

"Hey Rainbow, why don't you go see her?" Blitz says.

Rainbow looks to Gilda before walking over. "Hey Gil."

Gilda snorts awake. "Huh, what?" She asks before looking around and sees Rainbow standing there. "Oh, hey there."

"Been awhile huh?" Rainbow asks.

Gilda nods. "Yeah, what have you been doing and what are you doing here? You are not one for this."

"Yeah, Cross over there invited me and guilt tripped me into coming. I think he just asked me to come just to bore me to death. And I got married and had twins after I got into the wonderbolts as part a mandate Celestia handed down to compensate for being so many more mares than stallions." Rainbow says.

Gilda looks surprised. "Really, twins already?"

"Yeah, was surprised myself. My filly is named Rainbow Spectrum and my colt is Lightning Blast." Rainbow says.

Gilda smiled a little. "Good for you. You really came a long way since flight school."

"Yeah, so have you. Though, I heard your stallion was hurt. You aren't being too rough are you?" Rainbow jokes causing Gilda to laugh.

"Maybe, just to have fun. But never going far as to land him in the hospital. I do that and I lose my fun." She said.

"So he got messed up in the war?" Rainbow asks.

"Yeah, he says if it wasn't for Cross, he wouldn't have made it." Gilda says.

Rainbow smiled. "I'll bet. So is he out or going to head back once he's healed up?"

"He's been posted in the city as part of the garrison as the medics need to keep an eye on him in case of a relapse." Gilda says.

Rainbow looks to her. "Relapse?"

Gilda nods. "Yeah, he's enter a pain relapse of his injury. Hate it when it happens and so does he."

"I see at least your army cares enough and didn't just ship him off to an outpost somewhere." Rainbow says.

Gilda nods. "Yeah and can see him too. Sometimes to get him his good food. So who is your ball and chain?" Gilda jokes.

"His name is Blitzkrieg, he's actually a ranger in Equestria and worked in internal affairs for a while." Rainbow says.

Gilda smiles. "You hit the gold mine."

"Well, I had to choose so I saw my chance and snatch him and headed straight for princess Twilight and bam, married. We had the official ceremony later. I sent you an invitation but I'm unsure if you ever got it." Rainbow says.

Gilda sighs. "Yeah, I got it, but I thought you were lying. No way you could have gotten married, but you did from the looks of it."

"Yeah, if it wasn't mandatory, I might still be single, but I'm enjoying it. Blitz treats me right and is very caring and loving. I also wouldn't trade Spectrum and Blast for nothing." Rainbow says.

Gilda chuckles. "Of course you wouldn't. They are your life." She said looking a bit down.

"I will bet you will have what the griffon word for it…hatchlings? Yeah, hatchlings soon enough." Rainbow says.

Gilda blushes. "Maybe. Maybe not. Can't do much with him like that."

"How do his last checkup go?" Rainbow asks.

"Better than the medics expected actually." Gilda says.

"Then he might heal up sooner than you expect." Rainbow encouraged.

Gilda chuckles. "Yeah, might be getting that bit of fun soon."

"Well I best go back and check on my foals. It was good seeing you again Gilda." Rainbow says.

Gilda smiles. "You too."

"If you're ever in Ponyville, stop by for a visit. I would like you to meet my foals." Rainbow says.

Gilda nods. "Sure."

"I best go, my wife must be tired by now and the foals will need to be tucked in." Blitz says to Hawk seeing Rainbow heading for the stairs.

Hawk nods. "Sure. It was nice seeing you."

"Give my best to the colonel if when you see him." Blitz says.

Hawk chuckles. "I will. Though it might hard with his nest mates."

"I heard he was also assigned to command a garrison in a city." Blitz says.

Hawk nods. "Yeah, so the king can keep him close and teach him some more. Want to see him, go ahead. He should be still there."

"It's a little out of the way as I will have to go and inspect the fief I was just awarded and I can already tell some of the nobles are insult by my mere presence and the fact I was granted the title of lord and given such a valuable fief, made their disdain for me worse." Blitz whispers and Hawk nods.

"Yeah, but soon it will pass once an even bigger one is built. For nobles, the bigger, the better." Hawk said.

"I may have to watch out in case they try and off me." Blitz says.

Hawk chuckles. "For you, that might not be hard."

"Just don't be surprised if a few of the nobles glaring at me whine up dead under mysterious circumstances." Blitz whispers.

Hawk feigned innocence. "What nobles?"

"I like you Hawk." Blitz says leaving.

Hawk chuckles as he watches him leave and shakes his head. "That is one lucky stallion."

Blitz walks out of the bathroom in the hotel room. "Ah, much better." Blitz says.

Rainbow smiled as she pets the foals' heads. "So when do we head to this new place?"

"We head out tomorrow." Blitz says getting the inside of his ear with the towel. "So Rarity, you enjoy the ceremony?" Blitz asks.

Rarity smiled. "Oh yes and I like the dress too."

"Just don't strain yourself too much, ok?" Blitz asks.

Rarity nods. "Sure. Just make sure to treat me right."

"Um…let's have him look after the mare who is eight months now." Daring reminds.

Blitz chuckles as he looks to her laying on her side for her big belly. "Yeah, I will. What do you need anyway?"

"Just come over here and lay beside me on this bed." Daring says.

Blitz smiles and moves over to her and lays down beside her. "Better?" He asks wrapping a hoof around her.

"Much." Daring says smiling.

"Ok Azure, time to dry off." They heard Octavia say from the other bathroom.

They watch as Octavia and Azure come out with Azure wrapped in a towel and Octavia drying him off before putting him on the bed. "There we go. Nice and dry. Right, who's my little colt?" She said ruffling his head. Azure giggles as she continues.

"And thus they lived happily ever after. The end." Twilight says finishing reading the story to the foals and looks up to see all of them, but Azure, asleep with Sunshine sleeping on a sleeping Pinkie.

Blitz smiled as he rubs Daring's belly. "Thanks for making things a bit easy Twilight."

"No problem, I am the stepmother of all of them, but Arcane." Twilight says as the mothers pick up their foals.

"Thanks for foal sitting mom, Ahsoka, and Sonata. I would thank Pinkie as well, but she is asleep." Blitz says.

Twilight giggles as she places Arcane beside her and tucks him in. "No problem and Pinkie always fell asleep to my stories. Fairy tale or not."

"It was a nice change of pace." Ahsoka says.

Blitz sighs. "At least we are now going to see what my work has brought us."

"I also have been searching for the force user with no luck." Ahsoka says.

Blitz sighs. "Yeah, guess we just need more time."

"Yeah." Ahsoka says.

"Applejack, the bathroom is free now, best go take your bath before one of the Vinyls occupy both." Octavia says.

Applejack quickly heads inside and closes the door. "Got it."

"So Dusk, liking the penthouse?" Blitz asks as Dusk looks down at the capital of the griffon kingdom.

Dusk looks back at him. "It's good, but you sure I won't be in trouble."

"Why would you? You are an earth pony now." Blitz says.

Dusk presses her lips together. "But what any ancient ones?"

"Only ones known are Celestia and Luna." Blitz says.

Dusk looks confused. "But…Luna was right there at the castle?"

"And she said nothing so either she didn't recognize you or didn't care. Now just relax." Blitz says.

Dusk tries to calm down, but turns to stare out at the field again.

"Ah, you're nervous not being close to the sea, aren't you?" Blitz asks.

Dusk looks to the sea's direction again and tries to remember. "How could I not?"

"But if you never left the sea, you would never see this place." Twilight says levitating Mr. Sandy into Arcane's grip as he sleep.

Dusk nods. "I guess."

"Come here." Blitz says.

Dusk looks to him before walking over to him and sitting on the bed.

"Lay down and relax." Blitz says.

Dusk sighs and lays down on the bed.

Blitz, to her surprise, starts petting her.

Dusk looks up and looks at him. "Wha…?"

"You seemed to need this." Blitz says blushing a bit.

Dusk blushes as well and stay quiet.

"Ok, on to you two, I got a nice comfy cloud bed waiting for you." Rainbow says flapping a few feet up and lays the foals onto a cloud before landing herself. "You ok over there Spitfire?" Rainbow asks.

"I'm fine, Fleetfoot still playing that board game with Shadow though." Spitfire says.

Shadow chuckles as she moves a piece. "Got ya."

"Again." Fleetfoot says before exhaling frustrated.

Shadow smirks. "You got it."

"So how was your day girls? I mean you went around to see the sights." Blitz says.

Mary chuckles. "Really great. Feels like the old days. Ah, plundering."

"You visit the art gallery like Dusk wanted?" Blitz asks.

Mary shrugs. "Took her there. Really love the sea art."

"Alright, time for bed for all who have bathed." Blitz says.

Applejack finally comes out. "Save some room." She said heading to a bed.

"Vinyls, both bathrooms are now free." Blitz says.

They both quickly rush in. "Thanks!" They called out.

"And ponies say Vinyl has no feminine traits." Blitz says chuckling.

Octavia chuckles. "She does it in secret."

"She is also quite nerdy. My universe's Vinyl watched so much science fiction." E. Octavia says covering up Azure.

Octavia giggles. "Oh, mine usually just tries to watch a sci-fi."

"And I just watch our husband." S. Vinyl says laying on Blitz.

Blitz shakes his head as he wraps his other hoof around her. "I'm definitely getting a big family here. And here, I didn't want any more mares, now I got them."

"Alright, time to sleep everypony. We are heading to inspect this new fief first thing in the morning." Twilight says.

They all give her a salute. "Yes my queen." They all said.

"Ha, ha." Twilight says continuing to rock Arcane.

Blitz chuckles and raises a hoof. "Don't forget, king here."

"Oh we won't." Daring says.

Blitz grins. "Yep, king of the bed."

"Oh, we'll let you have that." Daring says pecking his cheek.

Blitz nuzzles her back. "So cute. Especially with that outfit. You going to have your foal wear one too?"

"Will try." Daring says.

Blitz chuckles. "I love you all."

"Then can you…" S. Vinyl was cut off.

"Not tonight, we have to get up early." Blitz says.

S. Vinyl pouts. "Meanie."

"Alright, we are ready to leave." Blitz says getting into the vehicle.

Twilight sighs as she puts Arcane on the seat before sitting down herself. "How long will this be?"

"We shall see, we are traveling." Blitz says getting Daring secure.

Twilight looks out and sees many ponies and griffons outside. "And the hoof traffic?"

"They will let us pass as the symbol on the side of the vehicle means official government business." Blitz says.

Twilight looks back at him. "I mean how many hoof and talon traffic at the fief?"

"We shall see love. Relax, enjoy the ride and for you Arcane, here's Mr. Sandy." Blitz says using his magic to levitate the stuffed camel to Arcane. Arcane coos and grabs him and hugs him tight.

"And for the rest, here is Mr. Fang and Mr. Brown." Blitz says using his magic to levitate a stuffed vampire bat with a small cape and a bear in a suit stuffed animals to Azure. Azure cheers and hugs them both.

"Now for the twins, I got two wonderbolt stuffed animals." Blitz says levitating two wonderbolt like stuffed animals to Spectrum and Blast. They both cheer and hug them both before hugging each other with their stuffed animals.

"Now for Sunshine, I got you a stuffed cupcake stuffed…treat." Blitz says unsure what to call it as he levitates a cupcake stuffed toy with a smiling face on it. Sunshine cheers and grabs it and hugs it before biting it as Pinkie pets her head.

"And for Blazer, I picked up a Griffon knight stuffed animal." Blitz says. Blazer smiles and takes it and looks it over, trying to see how good it is.

Blitz smiled before looking through the bag and finds another. "Arcane, got another for you." He said taking out a Phoenix stuffed animal for him and levitates it over to which Arcane cheers and takes it and hugs them both.

Blitz chuckles and looks through the bag again and finds another. "Pinkie Pie plushy for her daughter." He said levitating it over to Sunshine who cheers and hugs it tightly.

"Let's see, a hawk and an eagle stuffed animals." Blitz says levitating them to the twins. The twins giggles and hug them both with their wonderbolt stuffed animals.

"And here is a stuffed dolphin?" Blitz asks as Applejack grabs it and gives it to Blazer.

Blazer smiled and hugs it tightly. "He's been reading an ocean book." Applejack said.

"Ok, everyone secured?" Blitz asks.

"Ready." They all mostly said.

"Who isn't?" Blitz asks.

Pinkie was still sticking her head out the window.

"Pinkie." Blitz says.

"Yes?" She asks as she kept looking around.

"Please stick your head back in so we can depart." Blitz says.

"Aw." Pinkie whines as she sits back down and pouts.

"Now you job is to entertain Sunshine." Blitz says.

Pinkie looks to Sunshine who giggles and hugs her. She smiles back and nuzzles her head.

"Alright." Blitz says putting back on his helmet. "Driver, we are ready when you are." Blitz says. They get a grunt from him before they started to move.

Blitz smiles as he leans back into his seat and fastens himself. They all wait before feeling a heavy lurch and start to really move faster. "Blitz, did you give some of your tech to them?" Twilight asks.

"Pieces, nothing too much. Want them to experiment with it themselves." Blitz says.

Twilight raises an eyebrow. "And what did you give?"

"A few low level motors and such." Blitz says.

Twilight stares at him. "Uh huh."

"We feed them the tech little by little so we don't overwhelm them and they can develop their own. That is the policy we set in place and you agreed to it dear." Blitz says.

Twilight sighs as she gives Arcane to him and he hugs him with his stuffed animals between them. "At least warn us just in case of something that is completely different."

"You're welcome to read the reports like I do." Blitz says.

Twilight waves it off. "Just tell me the big stuff once it comes."

"That's what she said." S. Vinyl says. She received a pie in the face.

"Oh, his first time using levitation." Twilight says.

Arcane giggles as claps his hooves.

"He's a genius like his mother." Blitz says.

Twilight tickles his stomach as he giggles and tries to grab her hooves.

"Oof." Daring suddenly says.

Blitz looks to her. "You okay?"

"Yeah, the foal is just kicking is all." Daring says.

"Oh let me feel." Mary says.

Daring smiles and let's Mary touch her stomach and she feels a small kick. "Aw, he wants out."

"Well it is about time for him to come out." Pinkie says holding a watch.

Daring smiles as she rubs her stomach. "Yeah, soon."

"How soon?" Blitz asks with Arcane on his head with Azure.

"When we get to the castle." Pinkie says smirking.

Blitz stares at her. "How…?"

"Pinkie sense." Pinkie says hiding a script behind her back.

Blitz nods. "Uh huh." Blitz says as Arcane and Azure play with their stuffed animals on his head.

Pinkie just smiles as she stuffs the script in her tail.

"Azure, it's time for our daily music." Octavia says. Azure giggles happily and jumps over to her before sitting on her lap. Octavia smiles and puts a pair of small headphones on Azure's ears. Azure coos before sighing and putting his head on her stomach and closing his eyes.

"My little angel." Octavia says before putting on her headphones to listen as well.

Vinyl groans. "At least she isn't playing it out loud."

"Whatcha say?" E. Vinyl asks her headphones playing loudly.

Vinyl glares at her before wrestling her for the headphones. "Give me those!"

"They are mine." E. Vinyl says.

Vinyl growls and hisses at her. "Gimme!" She yelled reaching for them.

"No." E. Vinyl says as Spectrum and Blast got into it, thinking it a game.

"Get off me." Vinyl whines, trying to get the foals off.

"Arcane, go to mommy. I got to stop this." Blitz says.

Arcane coos and jumps into Twilight's lap.

"Come you mares." Blitz says using his magic to pull them all apart and Blast and Spectrum into his hooves.

Vinyls huff as they sat down and glare at each other.

"Now what about you two?" Blitz says looking at the two in his hooves. They both smile innocently and hugs their stuffed animals. "Who wants to play?" Blitz asks. They both cheer and hug him. "Ok." Blitz says as they start playing.

Rainbow smiles as they play around. "I love this family."

After several hours they heard Whirlwind call from outside. "We are entering the fief."

They all look outside the windows and sees a huge castle on the side of the cliff. "Ballroom, here I come." Rarity cheers.

"I see a lot of farmland right now." Applejack says.

Twilight smirks. "And a practice field."

"I think I see some guards watching." Rainbow says.

Blitz takes a look before speaking. "Actually those are militia." Blitz says.

Twilight looks to him. "Since when do we need militia?"

"Militia are citizens who are conscripted into service love." Blitz explains.

Twilight frowns. "I meant here."

"Most likely the militia here was raised to help keep watch as many soldiers and guards were sent to either suppress a rebellious noble who had ambitious to be king or off to the borders to bolster the positions." Blitz says.

"How can you tell they are militia?" Rainbow asks.

"Ah easy, militia, city guards, and military are all issued different uniforms or armor. Take a look at the color they are wearing, brown colors. The Guards wear blue and the military either wear dark green or black." Blitz explains.

Rainbow looks around. "Don't see any trouble."

"Maybe not now, but it's like guards, you don't wait around until someone is robbed before forming them." Blitz says.

Rainbow looks to him. "So can we go see this place now?"

"We are only on the outskirts Rainbow, we got to pass by one of the villages before we get to the castle." Blitz says.

Rainbow stares at him. "Villages?"

"Yes, there are about seven villages and one city in the fief and as the lord, guess who now owns them?" Blitz asks.

They all stare at him. "I thought we were only getting a castle?" Rarity asks.

"The castle is the lord's residence, all this land is our fief and as such." Blitz says.

Twilight groans. "I feel more paperwork coming on."

"That is why I thought ahead and hired a secretary to help." Blitz says.

"Ah, so that was that expense last week." Applejack says.

"Someone's been reading the books." Blitz says.

Applejack glares at him. "I want to make sure you ain't wasting. Plus, that expense I was tryin to figure out. Then I thought he wouldn't do that to us."

"I'm not against it love. You could have just asked." Blitz says.

Applejack huffs. "Warn us before you spend something and hide it."

"I didn't hide it. I just didn't say anything because I got busy for almost a week." Blitz reminds.

They all just look away and stare at something or their foals.

"You all forgot I went with Twi to the other universe didn't you?" Blitz asks.

They all shake a bit and try to look away from him harder.

"Oh, I see the cold shoulder. I can take a hint. Pull over." Blitz says to the driver. They all watch as the cart stops and Blitz steps out. "I'll walk the rest of the way." Blitz says closing the door.

The cart moves again as Blitz waves to them and they watch him disappear over the hill. "We screwed up." Applejack said.

"Correction, you're the one who made the accusation." Rainbow says.

Applejack glares at her. "How was I supposed to know it was for a secretary?"

"He just told us." Rainbow says.

"Girls, maybe we shouldn't really hold everything against him like this. Remember last time?" Twilight asks.

"Yes." Most of them say.

Twilight sighs. "Look, let's get to this place and wait for Blitz there. In fact, let's set something up for him. Rarity, did you finish the costumes?"

"Almost dear, just needs a few finishing touches and oh my, that is a big city." Rarity says as the castle's city comes into view.

They all look outside and sees the large castle jutting out from the side of the mountain and numerous flyers around the airspace. "Alright, get it done as quickly as you can. Time to deliver an apology and that includes all of us." Twilight said.

"Um…girls, we may have a problem." Daring says.

They look to her. "What's that?"

"I think my water just broke." Daring says.

Everyone's eyes widen. "Driver! To the castle now!" Twilight yells as she checks up on Daring.

Blitz hums a tune as he walks along. "I hope all the mares are fine. Ah, what am I saying, of course they will be fine." Blitz says as his communicator went off. Looking at it Blitz sees that Minerva had set off the mare giving birth alarm and Daring's picture was being shown. "Oh, Darling is delivering the foal…DARING HAS GONE INTO LABOR! Minerva, emergency, teleport me into the castle now!" Blitz orders.

"What took ya?!" Minerva asks as she teleported him into foyer.

"Time lag is .03 seconds." Blitz says.

Minerva grabs him by the collar. "You don't ever leave your mares! Got it?!"

"There was a reason I got out of the carriage love." Blitz says emphasizing the RPG he was holding. "A would be assassin was aiming this at us." Blitz says.

Minerva raises an eyebrow. "How did they get this far?"

"We will ask him ourselves when the militia escorting him arrive and remember, he has a wound from where one of the militia hit him in the shoulder with their axe." Blitz says. "Also keep this between us. I don't want the girls to know how close the assassin came to us." Blitz says.

Minerva tosses him to the other room. "Go see your mare and new foal."

"Then take this and secure it." Blitz calls tossing her the RPG.

Minerva takes it away as Blitz passes by the infirmary area and moves to the end and sees his family there. "What did I miss?" He asks walking over.

"Nothing yet as Daring is still giving birth." Mary says noticing a few scuffle marks. "You got into a fight when you left, didn't you?" Mary whispers.

"Would be assassin." Blitz whispers back.

Mary smirks. "Would be?"

"We will be having a guest soon enough." Blitz whispers.

Mary smiled and hugs him. "Thank goodness. The others were tearing themselves up because of what you did."

"Yeah, me and Applejack are going to have a private discussion about trust. I had thought she got over that and a little of her paranoia." Blitz says.

Mary huffs. "Ya kidding? She always worry about you and your life."

"She worries too much sometimes and either jumps to a conclusion or becomes overbearing." Blitz says.

Mary shrugs. "She's your wife. That's her job."

"And yet look what happened." Blitz says walking past.

Mary sighs. "Just like your father."

Daring was breathing as the nurses told her when she felt someone grab her hoof. Looking over, she sees it was Blitz. "Where have you been?!" Daring yells and squeezes his hoof.

"Dealing with something real quick. I came as soon as Minerva's message came through." Blitz says holding her hoof.

Daring pulls him close. "Leave me alone again and I will make you alone."

"Don't worry love. I'm going to avoid that the best I can." Blitz says before kissing her.

Daring huffs before grunting as she feels another contraction. She huffs before pushing again and calms down soon after. "I hate you."

"Try and say that again in a few hours." Blitz says.

Daring glares at him before feeling another contraction and then huffs and grunts before pushing and then collapsed on the bed. Not long after, she hears crying of a foal. "It's a boy." One of the nurses says.

Daring pants as Blitz takes the foal in the bundle and brings it to her. "Your boy." He said giving him to her.

"My little Venator." Daring says smiling as Blitz rubs a sponge with cool water in it along her forehead.

Daring sighs as she looks to him before smiling. "Our boy." She said before passing out.

"Minerva, tell the mares they can enter now." Blitz says into the communicator.

Minerva goes to tell them and soon the whole family was there. "Is she okay?" Twilight asks looking her over.

"The nurse says she is fine. Just exhausted." Blitz says.

Fluttershy smiles. "Oh, where's the foal?"

"Venator is in her hooves." Blitz says.

Fluttershy moves over and sees the sleeping foal. "Aw, so cute like his father."

Blitz takes a good look and sees his mane is black and has his mother's coat color. He chuckles and pets Fluttershy's head. "Yeah, he's awesome, isn't he? Pinkie, I need an emergency party. New fief and foal, stat."

"You say something?" Pinkie asks already having decorated the foyer with her party cannon.

Blitz chuckles. "Alright. Let's let these two rest and then we can have our great party, okay?"

"Alright. Let's let you new brother rest, ok Arcane?" Twilight asks looking up to Arcane on her head.

Arcane coos at the foal. "Come on." Blitz says messing with his mane. Twilight and the others walk out with Blitz giving one last kiss to Daring's head before following. "Okay, find your favorite rooms and make it yours. Except you Applejack, we need to talk."

Applejack looks a bit afraid as everyone else leaves and tries to find their rooms in the big castle. "You mad?" Applejack asks after they were far enough away.

"Come here you." Blitz says pulling her into a hug and kiss.

Applejack pushes away a little. "Blitz…let's find our rooms for now and we'll start with yours."

"After we talk. Applejack, you can't let your paranoia get the better of you and I know you don't want to hear this, but you have a few trust issues." Blitz says.

Applejack glares at him. "I do not."

"Apple Bloom's first encounter with a Chimera." Blitz says seriously causing her to go quiet.

Applejack huffs. "That was because she was arrogant."

"But also because you were overbearing because you didn't trust she could look after herself. You had protective plastic covering everything. Literally everything." Blitz reminds.

Applejack blushes. "That was…"

"Applejack." Blitz says pressing her.

Applejack backs away a little. "That was…that was…"

"Applejack." Blitz presses once more making her sigh in defeat.

"It was the most stupid and idiotic thing I ever did." She admits.

"And?" Blitz asks.

Applejack hangs her head. "I'm too overprotective and paranoid."

"There we go. Now that you admitted it, you can overcome it." Blitz says bringing her into his hooves again.

Applejack places her hoof on his. "I'm sorry for not trusting you." She whispers.

"It's ok Jackie. We can't mistrust each other anymore. We got a foal on the way that we can't do that to." Blitz says touching her stomach.

Applejack smiles as she looks to her stomach. "Yeah and Blitzy?"

"Yeah?" Blitz asks.

Applejack looks up at him. "Can you get rid of my hairbands? I don't want them anymore."

"Why, they look great on you?" Blitz asks confused.

Applejack sighs. "Because it's also making me stay back. Please, just untie it."

"Alright." Blitz says removing them with his magic.

Applejack smiles as the bands gets pulled away and her mane and tail falls out. "Back in the day, I did actually like this style."

"Now you feel like it's time to change?" Blitz asks.

Applejack nods. "Yeah. It does." She said looking up at him. "You ready for a new me when it comes?"

"You'll always be my Applejack love." Blitz says leaning her back as he holds her.

Applejack giggles a little. "You know, I actually feel…girlier."

"And I feel like holding you all night long." Blitz says.

Applejack giggles as she places a hold on his face. "Same here. Want to…find a room?"

"Lets." Blitz says letting her walk again. "So…you thought on the name of our foal yet?" Blitz asks.

Applejack shakes her head. "Nah, let's head to the top floor. Best rooms in the castle are always there."

"You studied griffon architecture?" Blitz asks.

Applejack laughs. "Nah, they just like being all high and mighty. Hence, top floor."

"I prefer the mid-level rooms myself, but I'll let you pick." Blitz says.

Applejack smiles as she looks back to him before taking his hoof and running off with him.

Weeks had passed since Venator's birth and the family was adjusting to the life in the castle and Blitz was trying to adjust to being a lord of the fief.

"So how was your inspection of the farmlands Applejack?" Blitz asks.

Applejack shrugs. "Eh, fertile, fine and recently watered enough for new crops."

"So the farmers are doing a good job, any complaints or requests?" Blitz asks.

Applejack smiles. "Just better tools."

"Contact the local smiths and have them take a look and see what they can do." Blitz says signing another paper and giving it to the griffon in a business suit.

Applejack smiles as she looks to the griffon going away before going to him and let's herself lean on him. "I love ya Blitzy."

Blitz says nothing and smirks as he signs another paper and discreetly, playfully pulls her tail with his magic.

Applejack yelps and holds him tighter as she looks to her loose tail being pulled by magic. "Yep, I love ya."

"So I heard Rarity heard about us needing a coat of arms for the flags and banners and is working on that." Blitz says.

Applejack nods. "Yeah. She wants it all to look official."

"I heard she is even trying to make one herself." Blitz says.

Applejack chuckles. "How else would she do it?"

"Any progress on it?" Blitz asks rubbing her flank with a hoof.

Applejack smiles. "Slow, but she's getting there."

"I best go see her. Want to come?" Blitz asks.

Applejack shakes her head. "Nah. You can take Blazer though. He's been bored a lot. I got to cook some food with the others."

"Alright. I'll also go check up on Daring and little Venator." Blitz says.

Applejack smiles as she sits there while Blitz heads out and finds Blazer snoring against the wall and holding his swords against him. Blitz smiles and picks him up and carries him along with his magic.

He sighs as he heads down to Rarity's room and finds her working with a sewing machine. "Rarity?" He asks a bit silently.

"You can leave the food at the door." Rarity says.

Blitz sighs and walks up to her and hugs her.

Rarity becomes a little surprised and looks to him. "Oh Blitz. What are you doing here?"

"To check up on my fashionista." Blitz says nuzzling her neck.

Rarity moans and nuzzles back. "Yes, I love you too."

"Come on, take a break and come with me." Blitz says.

Rarity nods. "For you. Let's go."

"Alright, let's go check up on Daring and little Venator." Blitz says.

Rarity nods and follows him to Daring's room where she was playing with Venator. "Hey guys. What's up?" Daring asks.

"We just came by to check on you and little Venator here." Blitz says walking up.

Daring holds up the cooing foal. "He's fine."

"He took after his mother a lot, didn't he?" Blitz asks.

Daring smiles and tickles his stomach. "Yeah, he does. Still needs his father though."

Blitz walks up and picks Venator up. "Hey there my little explorer." Blitz says. Venator coos and reaches for him. Blitz smiles and brings him close. Daring smiles as she grabs a stuffed plushy and gives it to Venator who cheers and hugs the explorer pony.

"You fed him recently?" Blitz asks nuzzling him with his nose.

Daring nods. "Yeah, empty here."

"You're feeding him quite well then." Blitz says smiling.

Daring chuckles. "Yeah, getting him his fill too. Maybe you should try it sometime before they are born."

"No thanks that is reserved for my foals only isn't that right Venator?" Blitz asks tickling the pegasus.

Venator giggles and tries to grab his hoof.

"Let's go see the rest of the family, ok Daring?" Blitz asks.

Daring nods and gets up and takes Venator and puts him on her back and nuzzles him before wrapping her wings around him and walking out. "Come on."

"You looking forwards to your foal Rarity?" Blitz asks rubbing her stomach.

Rarity nods. "Yeah. Getting the room ready."

"So you're not going to do what Daring did and have Venator sleep in her room?" Blitz asks.

Rarity thinks on it. "Maybe for a bit, but I need a room set up for future times."

"That is fine." Blitz says kissing her cheek.

Rarity smiles and leans against him as Blazer groans and tries to sleep in a better position.

"I'll get him to bed. Tell Daring I will be at the kitchen soon, ok?" Blitz whispers before lightly nibbling her ear.

Rarity squeaks and blushes. "Um…sure."

"See you soon love." Blitz whispers.

"So we made enough progress to fix the amulet Twi?" Blitz asks rocking Arcane, who was sleeping in a crib.

Twilight nods. "Just need the crystals and we're ready. Shall we call Spike?" She asks working on the chain for the necklace.

"No need to bother him. I had Minerva go pick that cargo up with the Darkline returned." Blitz says.

Twilight sighs. "Now it really feels like I'm losing him."

"He's just growing up Twi and the last report had him going to Ponyville." Blitz says before winking at her.

Twilight smiles. "Think they would really love him?"

"Maybe, let's just hope they learnt their lesson from the grounding and won't do that again." Blitz says smiling at the sleeping Arcane.

Twilight smiles as she turned her head to him. "Worried about his love life now?"

"No, I'm just smiling at him." Blitz says.

Twilight giggles. "Blitzy, come over here for a bit."

"Ok." Blitz says walking over trying to keep the crib rocking with his magic.

Twilight smiles and hugs before sighing and looking at him. "Blitz? How do you feel about us?"

"You know I'm better at showing my feelings than telling and I showed you a lot." Blitz says.

Twilight blushes. "Yeah, but you will keep us happy, right?"

"I'm working on it." Blitz says before stealing a quick kiss.

Twilight giggles and nuzzles him before looking at him seriously. "And would you be okay with us finding some happiness elsewhere sometimes?"

"As long as it isn't another stallion." Blitz says.

Twilight smirks. "So mares are good enough? Random mares?"

"Does that have the same spark as with me?" Blitz asks confused.

Twilight chuckles and keeps nuzzling him. "No, they don't. But…it's because of you Blitz. We are worried if you are loving it as well and not just doing it just because."

"Look Twi, it is hard to force me to do something I don't like and even if you didn't, it would have any of the passion." Blitz says running a hoof along her flank.

Twilight smiles and grabs his hoof before moving it around herself. "So you are liking it and not just doing it? Yes or no?"

"I love it love. In fact, you might have gotten me addicted to you girls." Blitz says.

Twilight smiles and sighs in relief. "Good. We have been getting more worried about you and…this came up after Cadance told me her marriage bout."

"What happen…god, I miss having hands." Blitz says petting her mane.

Twilight tries to pet his head. "She ended up out of the house for bit. Her fault."

"Well from what I learnt about marriage, those kind of things happen eventually." Blitz says moving her with him over to the crib after he noticed it stopped rocking.

Twilight sighs and starts rocking the crib with her hooves. "Yeah, but it doesn't go the way you think. It was Shining that started it." She said tucking in Arcane a bit more.

"Mistakes will be made. We are only mortals, right?" Blitz asks.

Twilight sighs. "Yes but, the way she described it sounded…like it was…let's see. It started even before their marriage actually."

"It involve a changeling?" Blitz asks.

Twilight blushes a bit. "Well Cadance told me that Shining actually didn't feel any love or apart when they do it, but when they spend time like regular couples, he feels it. He said and I quote 'What kind of husband doesn't even love having sex with his wife?'. As for Cadance, the way it started was that she was feeling a bit off so she went out and soon she went into a club and became a sub. You can guess the rest of the club there."

"Wait, just to clarify, is your brother gayish?" Blitz asks.

Twilight snickers. "No, just that he likes mares a lot. Anyway, she went back home and kept it hidden for a while before finally revealing it to Shining. He acted less than pleased and kicked her out. Talk about a reversal."

"Well you could see how that would upset a spouse, right?" Blitz asks.

Twilight shakes her head. "No, because he was hiding his bit as well and didn't want to believe that he wasn't keeping her happy. All that mattered to him was keeping her happy. See why I asked you now?"

"Ah, I see, you're afraid that you're doing the same as your brother." Blitz says.

Twilight nods. "And the others as well. We understand if you want to get it somewhere else or anything to keep yourself happy."

"Why, when the mares that keep me happy are in this castle. And speaking of your family. I kind of invited them to visit." Blitz says.

Twilight smiles. "Good. Anyway, he kicked her out, went separated for a day before coming back and decided to take a walk and Shining actually lets Cadance go to the club and he gets to enjoy a night to himself. Happy family, mostly."

"So any word on this picture Cadance and Shiny recently sent?" Blitz asks showing her a picture.

Twilight looks at it. "What about it?"

"Take a look at the stomach. Remind you of anything?" Blitz asks.

Twilight looks closer and smiles. "Oh Caddy. Really to like to keep secrets right? You do know I read mystery novels?" She asks the picture.

"Where do you think that latest one came from?" Blitz asks.

Twilight shrugs. "Best to ask her. Not best to think about it when you can ask themselves about the predicament."

"I think Arcane is going to have himself a cousin soon." Blitz says.

Twilight nods. "Yeah, but what will the foal be is a mystery that almost everypony loves."

"I thought Cadance saw mares based on your earlier question." Blitz says.

Twilight giggles. "She acted as a sub to a stallion. I never said mare."

"Oh boy…let's hope its Shining's or that could destroy their marriage." Blitz says.

Twilight sighs. "She's still checking. Results haven't come in yet. But…yeah."

"Wait, I thought you didn't know." Blitz says.

Twilight blushes and holds up a letter. "Just now. Now I know what she means by test."

"Oh...what is this I see?" Blitz asks now smirking.

Twilight tilts her head before backing away a little. "Hang on now."

Blitz keeps his smirk while advancing on her.

Twilight keeps backing up until she hits the wall. "Don't do it Blitz."

"I think I spot an opening." Blitz says before landing and grabs Twilight and starts tickling her.

Twilight laughs as she falls against his assault. "You…you…"

"You have exposed something to me." Blitz says starting to tickle her at her leg joints.

Twilight snorts as she laughs and falls against him as he holds her and still tickles her. "Please…stop."

"And right there." Blitz says bringing her into a full on kiss.

Twilight's breath gets caught in her throat as she kisses him back before he separated. "I love you Blitz."

"I love you too my very ticklish mare." Blitz says smirking at her.

Twilight smiled and sighs. "So, what are you going to do now?"

"We best get back to work on our project." Blitz says.

Twilight nods. "Yeah, think you can get the crystals once it arrives. I'll polish up."

"The Darkstar is close by with that cargo. I'll go get it later so what other projects you got besides this?" Blitz asks.

Twilight smirks. "You know how Blazer is spending more time alone?"

"Actually I have had him training with Lightning and Whirlwind." Blitz says.

Twilight smiled. "And how has he come?"

"He is getting a crash course in basic swordsmanship." Blitz says leaning into her.

Twilight raises an eyebrow. "And how Arcane has been talking in his way to Mr. Sandy and maybe another imaginary friend?"

"Like how your parents told us how you used to do that?" Blitz asks.

Twilight nods. "Yeah, I can't shake the feeling that something wasn't right about that time."

"Well shall we get back to work before our hormones overcome us and we try for a second one?" Blitz asks.

Twilight giggles. "Sure, why don't you head out and check on the others for me and see how they are. We are still making requests for this place."

"Trust me, I know." Blitz says.

Twilight kisses his cheek. "You better get going. I'll finish up here."

"Forward me the result and data, ok?" Blitz asks.

Twilight nods. "Sure."

"Love you." Blitz says walking away. After exiting through the door, Twilight feels her tail yanked playfully.

Twilight glares playfully at him as he chuckles from outside the door.

"Your father loves us so much." Twilight says leaning over the crib to look at the sleeping Arcane.

Blitz sighs as he stops by Fluttershy's room. "Oh Flutterrrrrrrr…" He stops as he sees the room. "Okay, we need to stop a few things."

Fluttershy chuckles nervously as a hypnotized Fleetfoot was about to get paddled.

Blitz sighs and walks over and waves in front of Fleetfoot to get no response. "Speak."

"Where am I?" Fleetfoot asks shaking her head.

Blitz sighs. "Alright, let her out."

"Aw." Fluttershy says releasing Fleetfoot.

Blitz sighs as Fleetfoot hugs him. "Thank you."

Blitz raises an eyebrow. "Sit." Fleetfoot immediately sits. "Now pucker up." Blitz says before kissing her.

Fleetfoot moans into the kiss and tries to reach for him, but Blitz pushes her hooves back down. After a bit, he finally let's go and pushes her to the ground and turns to Fluttershy. "So how are you liking this place?"

"It has all the things we mares need, even the hot springs." Fluttershy says smiling as Blitz pets Fleetfoot.

"Shy, what have I asked you in the past now?" Blitz asks.

"Don't hypnotize the other mares into your activities?" Fluttershy asks.

"Exactly." Blitz says before he yanks her tail with his magic.

Fluttershy yelps and moans. "But…master…?"

"Ask them to join in love." Blitz says pulling her close with his magic and kissing her.

Fluttershy nods as she kisses him as Fleetfoot paws at their tail like a cat. Blitz chuckles as he lets go of the kiss and turns to her. "Pet, put that collar on for me." He said playfully.

"Yes master." Fluttershy says happily as Blitz lifts Fleetfoot up and starts holding her as he uses his magic to twist her nipples.

Fleetfoot moans almost quietly as she looks around a lot. "Pet, collar." Blitz called.

"One moment." Fluttershy says before coming back wearing a collar before putting one on Fleetfoot. 'This will be good practice to prepare to train Ahsoka once Twilight can use that transspecies spell on her and turn her into a pony.' Fluttershy thinks.

Fleetfoot moans weakly as she was let go and falls to the ground. "Get up." Blitz orders as he searches the nearby box.

Fluttershy smiles as she holds Fleetfoot.

Blitz sighs as he pulls on the collar a bit and pulls Fleetfoot and Fluttershy. "So, how are you two?"

"I'm great, my loving husband." Fluttershy says as Fleetfoot was still in the afterglow.

Blitz smiles and pulls on Fluttershy's collar and kisses her once he gets close before they both look to Fleetfoot. "Oh Fleetfoot?" He sang. Fleetfoot doesn't respond as Blitz lifts her up and removes her collar. Blitz sighs and looks back to Fluttershy. "Pet, clean her up once she's coherent, okay?"

"Ok Bli…" Fluttershy was cut off when Blitz talked again.

"And don't play with her anymore for a while." Blitz says.

Fluttershy blushes. "And while I'm alone and need some fun? Who will be my fun for the night?"

Blitz clears his throat.

Fluttershy blushes even more. "Thanks."

"I am wondering how you will act when you have a foal of your own." Blitz asks.

Fluttershy smiles. "Well, I'll treat them good. And their choice for all this." She said looking around. "Once they're old enough."

"I meant will you be doing this as often?" Blitz asks.

Fluttershy shrugs. "Maybe if I'm feeling frisky."

"Around your foals?" Blitz asks.

"Oh heavens no. I don't want to scare them." Fluttershy says.

"Good girl." Blitz says petting her.

Fluttershy purrs. "Remember in the beginning with all this?"

"I still have a hard time, but thankfully you have shyed away from wanting me to hit you." Blitz says holding her.

Fluttershy smiles. "Yeah, but I actually miss it a bit."

"But I don't hear you complaining." Blitz says.

Fluttershy sighs. "Because I know you would probably won't do it after all this time."

"And?" Blitz asks yanking her tail with his hoof.

Fluttershy yelps. "You love me?"

"Do I need to answer that?" Blitz asks smirking.

Fluttershy shakes her head. "No, you don't. At least…never mind."

Blitz kisses her neck. "You best go love, Rarity will want you to soak with her in the hot spring." Blitz says.

Fluttershy nods and kisses his cheek. "Okay, what about her?" She asks pointing to the now sleeping Fleetfoot.

"Take her and wash yourself and her up." Blitz says before nibbling lightly on her ear.

Fluttershy blushes and moans and moves a bit closer to him. "I love you Blitz."

"Love you too Flutters. Now, best get going." Blitz says to her.

Fluttershy nods and lets him leave before feeling her tail being pulled hard and then snapped back. "Always a good feeling."

Blitz smiles as he walks along the castle to find some of the foals awake and running down the hall. "Alright guys, who are you hiding from?"

"Spectrum, Blast, where are you?!" Blitz hears Rainbow call in a playful tone.

Blast giggles as he hides behind Blitz and tries to hide himself, but let's his tail hang out without knowing it.

Blitz smirks as he waits for Rainbow. "Oh Spectrum, Blast." Rainbow calls and sees Blitz. "Oh hey, did you see him?"

"I haven't seen either of the twins." Blitz says, his eyes leading to his hind hoof.

Rainbow smirks as she sees the tail. "Okay, guess I might as well look here!" She said grabbing Blast with him cheering at her. Spectrum runs out and tries to run away.

"There goes your filly Rainbow, trying to outrun you on hoof." Blitz says smirking.

Rainbow grins. "You are not getting away that easy! Thanks Blitz for the time that gave me them by the way." She said winking.

"Of course, they are my foals. Isn't that right, Blast?" Blitz asks.

Blast laughs and reaches for him and he gives him a hug before giving him back to Rainbow and she flies after Spectrum. He chuckles and continues to walk and heads to the Wonderbolt's room and finds both mares reading away. "Hey girls, you okay?"

"I don't think that Inferno will work Spitfire." Shadow says.

Blitz smiles as he walks up. "Come on, what am I? Invisible?"

"Oh, of course not love." Spitfire says leaning against him.

Blitz smiles as he wraps a hoof around her. "So, thinking of names?"

"Yeah. Thanks to you, she isn't franticly looking for a name anymore, but still looking for one." Spitfire says.

Blitz smiles as he looks to Shadow. "So…happy that you have a foal, right?"

"You think ordering a crib for the foal now is too soon?" Shadow asks.

Blitz nods. "For now. You are way too excited, so please ask the others for advice. Also, come on girls, we are doing a family soak in the hot spring." Blitz says.

They both smile and start moving to the door. "Meet you there." Spitfire said.

Blitz smirks and uses his magic to playfully yank their tails.

They both yelp before playfully glaring at him. "You better hope to have the suit." Shadow said.

"We are soaking in the hot springs and the foals will be there so none of that." Blitz says.

"Aw." Shadow whines before being pulled by the ear. "Ow, ow, ow, ow. Easy!" Shadow calls as Spitfire drags her away.

"Remember love, you are pregnant now. We can't do that or we risk hurting the foal." Blitz says walking out with them.

Spitfire grabs his collar and throws him in the other direction. "Go get the others."

"Love you too Fire." Blitz says skidding across the floor.

Blitz chuckles as he walks along. "I love this family." He said to himself before being tied up by a rope and then dragged into a room. "Hey Jackie." Blitz says in the pitch black room.

He feels a hug and many hairs falling around him. "Hey Blitzy." Applejack said next to his ear.

"Having fun." Blitz asks.

Applejack nods and nuzzles him. "Yeah, love ya."

"You can snuggle up to me as much as you want at the hot springs. We are having a family soak." Blitz says leaning into where he felt the hair.

Applejack nods against him. "Remember when I first met you?"

"You used me for target practice throwing apples." Blitz says.

Applejack smiles. "Yeah, the fun days. And remember how you left me on the bed?"

"How long did it take you to untie yourself from that trap?" Blitz asks smirking.

Applejack runs a hoof across his chest. "About a few minutes. You need to work on your skills."

"That was when I was a little colt love." Blitz says slipping out of the rope.

Applejack looks at him in the little light. "And remember from the last time you left me on the bed, knocked out, wet, dirty and pleased?"

"Nearly two months ago." Blitz says rubbing his hoof along her.

Applejack nods. "Yeah, I actually wanted to cuddle with you."

"Tell you what, you can in the hot springs while the others play with the foals." Blitz says,

Applejack smiles. "I would like that." She whispered.

"Good. You best go wash that sexy flank of yours up then." Blitz says.

Applejack sighs and gives a kiss on the cheek before heading for the hot springs. "See ya there."

"See you soon." Blitz says playfully yanking her tail with his hoof.

Applejack yelps a little as she kept walking with a blush on her face.

Blitz smirks as he heads out of the room and goes down the hall again. "At least they are satisfied. Now for Pinkie." Blitz says before starting to play a song on his communicator.

"What are you doing idiot?" Pinkamena asks from behind him. "Playing a crazy song like that? She's busy."

"Trying to get you or Pinkie's attention love." Blitz walks up to her.

Pinkamena watches him as he inspects her. "What are you doing?"

"And here you are." Blitz says getting the laughing Sunshine.

Pinkamena watches as he plays around. "What's the lesson with me?"

"Oh how careless of me." Blitz says before kissing her and slipping his tongue into her mouth.

Pinkamena moans into the kiss as she hangs onto him before breaking it. "Now you must be punished."

"Later love, for now I'm gathering up all the family to soak in the hot spring together." Blitz says.

Pinkamena huffs. "Fine." She said grabbing Sunshine. "Bye idiot." She said walking away only to feel her tail being playfully yanked by a hoof.

"We will have fun later tonight." Blitz says.

"With others?" She asks a bit away.

"Not sure at this point, but Twi is caught up in her experiments and Lightning is drilling the militia and thinking of transferring some into the guards." Blitz says.

Pinkamena chuckles. "I'm going to love drilling them." She said taking out a knife.

"We need them intact love. Save it for when the ghosts arrive. They are battle hardened soldiers and I requested they would be transferred back under my command." Blitz says.

Pinkamena darkly chuckles. "Really?"

"Yes, you can help drill them into the dirt." Blitz says walking up beside her and rub into her side.

Pinkamena sighs as she nuzzles back. "You are insatiable."

"I learned from the best." Blitz says.

Pinkamena smiles. "She's going to need a little frosting soon."

"She will get some tonight with you." Blitz says.

Pinkamena smiles. "I wish we could enjoy it together, but not in the same body."

"Unfortunately, we can't change that." Blitz says as Sunshine climbs on Pinkamena.

Pinkamena sighs. "At least we have you."

"And me." Blitz says before kissing her again.

Pinkamena smiles and hugs him. "You are just crazy. Now, what are you going to do?"

"Got to round up the rest including mom and Dusk and Ahsoka." Blitz says.

Pinkamena sighs. "Go ahead. Get out of here." She said waving her hoof.

"Ok, go get Sunshine washed up for the hot spring and I will see your sexy flank there." Blitz says rubbing her flank before walking away.

Pinkamena smiles and walks to her room. "See ya."

"See you soon love." Blitz says walking away.

Blitz smiles as he heads down to the room coming up next and opens it to find Ahsoka mediating on her bed. "Yes?" She asks.

"We're all going to a soak in the hot springs, want to join?" Blitz asks.

Ahsoka opens her eye and looks at him. "You sure you want me there?"

"Of course, you have been either stuck in here or searching nonstop in town for the force user. Take a break Ahsoka or you will burn yourself out." Blitz says.

Ahsoka sighs. "I have been gone too long. I have to find this user or I'm in trouble."

"Did they give you a time limit to find this force user?" Blitz asks.

Ahsoka looks to him. "Sort of. I can't be here long or they might send another to find me and this user."

"I have an idea to stave such an outcome off." Blitz says.

Ahsoka raises an eyebrow. "And that is?"

"Let's make a report to them. Tell them you are now scouring the griffon kingdom right now and there are tensions at the borders and some upstart noble started a rebellion to try to become king. So you can't move around as freely, coupled with the fact the natives of this kingdom are wary of you." Blitz says.

Ahsoka smiles. "And you come up with the craziest things a lot. At least they work."

"Well none of it is a lie." Blitz says smirking.

Ahsoka sighs and scratches his head. "Still so cute."

Blitz resists her scratching a bit. "Surprised." Blitz says barely holding it back.

Ahsoka chuckles and brings him in for a hug. "So cute."

"I bet the female jedi will be jealous of you if they saw what creatures you were dealing with." Blitz says asks as Azure snuck in as Ahsoka opened the encrypted com channel, connected to her ship.

Ahsoka shakes her head as some of the jedi council comes on. "Padawan Tano, how's your progress?" Obi Wan asks.

"I am still searching, but there are some complications. I'm currently in, what the natives call, the griffon kingdom. Master, one of the most common languages spoken here is galactic common, could there be a connection?" Ahsoka asks.

Obi Wan thinks of that. "Maybe, we would have to see more, but for now, find that user and we'll investigate that part later."

"Well I might be delayed on my search masters." Ahsoka says sheepishly.

Windu raises an eyebrow. "How?"

"You see, there is tension along the border of the kingdom as they recently ended a war and a upstart noble wants to be king so he…" Obi-Wan finished her sentence.

"Started a rebellion."

"Yeah, so with the locals already being wary of me that only complicates the matter more." Ahsoka says as Azure tries to climb up onto her bed.

They all look to the little foal on the bed near her. "What and who is that?" Obi Wan asks.

"Huh…oh hey, how did you get in here little one?" Ahsoka says picking Azure up as soon as she saw him.

Azure laughs and reaches for her.

"Sorry master. This is one of the locals' children. He is also the son of the lord who is letting me reside in his castle." Ahsoka says.

Windu nods. "You are at least okay, right?"

"Yes, he has not hindered my search in any way and has even given more guides and bodyguards as I search his fief. Though I suspect it is to deter any acts against me as much as they are to watch me to make sure I don't cause trouble." Ahsoka says.

Azure coos and looks to the masters and laughs at them. Seeing this, Ahsoka scratches him behind the ears, making him coo in pleasure. Blitz smiles as Azure giggles and tries to grab her fingers.

"Very well Ahsoka, take your time with your search. We don't want you to miss this force user or be in a diplomatic incident. We don't need the separatists getting a reason to go to that system." Plo Koon says.

"They would have to pass through alliance space to get there and we don't need such an insertion to spark the alliance coming in and making this a three way war." Obi-Wan says.

Ahsoka nods. "Like that past jedi war other than separatists?"

"Yes, let us not have a repeat when the jedi tried to forcibly take a force sensitive turian from his family." Kit Fisto says.

Ahsoka raises an eyebrow. "And the reason we won't reveal that? It would make it worse once it comes out from someone other than us."

"We have our reasons. We have also been researching the records you found Padawan, someone seemed to erase the files not long after you sent them to master Obi-Wan." Mace Windu says.

Ahsoka raises a finger at Blitz and points at him subtly. "At least some truth needs to be revealed. If we have all our 'secret files' come out, that's our death warrant."

"Possibly, but a lot of these records have been sealed for millennia and revealing them now may give the separatists ammo politically." Mace Windu says.

"A discussion for another time, this is." Yoda says.

Ahsoka nods. "Fine."

"Well, taking into these accounts, we can see this won't be a short visit for you. Tell us, do you have you the next destination in mind if you cannot find the force sensitive individual?" Plo Koon asks.

Ahsoka looks to Blitz who is holding a map and pointing to the zebra tribes' territory. "Yes, the land called zebra territory."

"Zebra?" Most of the council asks.

Ahsoka smiles. "Don't bother."

"Well shall let you return to your search Ahsoka, but please try and contact us more. Your master worries about you." Obi-Wan says.

Ahsoka sighs. "Just tell Anakin I'm following his teachings."

"I shall." Obi-Wan says as they end the communication.

"Maybe not the best way to end that." Blitz says snickering.

Ahsoka giggles. "It gives my master an idea of how I'm following his teachings and he hates it when I don't."

"Should I make preparations for you starting a wildfire then?" Blitz jokes.

Ahsoka chuckles and gives him Azure. "Here, maybe I do need a relaxation."

"Good to hear. Now come on, before Octavia starts knocking down doors looking for Azure." Blitz says.

Ahsoka chuckles as she gets up and walks out. "Better hurry and find her."

"That part is easy. Ok my son, point me to your mother." Blitz says setting Azure on his head.

Azure coos and points to out the door.

"Lead the way." Blitz says following his pointing hoof.

Azure coos and leads him to another room with both Octavias messing up the room and calling out Azure's name.

"Um…loves, missing somepony?" Blitz asks.

They both look over and sees Azure cheering from Blitz's head and rush over to him before picking him up and nuzzling him.

"Our son has quite the nose, he found his way to me with it on the other side of the castle and then lead me right to you both." Blitz says.

Both Octavias look at Azure and smile at him and nuzzles him and kisses his head. "He's such a good boy and growing." Octavia said.

"Yes he is." Blitz says as both Octavias could just feel the pride from Blitz.

E. Octavia smiles and hugs Blitz. "Thanks for bringing him here."

"I also have a job for you three." Blitz says.

They all look to him. "What?" Both Octavias asks.

"Get the three Vinyls and get them cleaned up and meet us at the hot spring for a soak." Blitz says.

They both gasps and rush over to the next room before cheers were heard and three mares were running the other way and Octavias and Azure followed close behind.

"Now for mom and Dusk." Blitz says as he starts walking.

He heads down to the door covered in some ship paintings before opening it. "Yo ho mom. Hot spring, you want in?"

"One moment dear…come on, stop squirming like a foal." Mary says as Blitz sees her scrubbing Dusk, trying to get her clean.

Dusk groans. "I would be enjoying this if it was just me and why are you doing this?"

"Because you would only soak instead of getting clean." Mary says continuing.

"Mom, you adopt Dusk while I wasn't looking?" Blitz asks.

Mary huffs. "You kiddin? She needed a bath and she wanted to go in the lake. She needs to learn proper etiquette."

Blitz was barely holding back from bursting out laughing. "I…see."

Dusk looks over to him. "Help me!"

"Mom, ease up on her. The entire family is gathering for a soak in the hot springs and the foals will want to see their grandmother and you want to see the newest addition, right?" Blitz asks.

Mary throws him a sponge. "She's yours. Good luck." She said walking out and closing the door behind her.

"Let's make this quick so you can get into the hot spring, ok?" Blitz asks.

Dusk sighs as she now relaxes in the small tub. "Thanks for that."

"I know mom and she has really been wanting to spend time with the new born." Blitz says starting to scrub Dusk's mane more easily than Mary was.

Dusk looks up at him. "Blitz?"

"Yes?" Blitz asks.

"Why me?" She asks looking away slightly.

"I think because you're like a fish out of sea. That is why mom is always on you to try and teach you." Blitz says.

Dusk shakes her head. "No, I mean, why did you choose me?"

"Because I can tell you didn't like most of the negative you and the other two sirens sowed." Blitz says.

Dusk looks away for a bit as he kept scrubbing at her mane.

"You disapprove?" Blitz asks.

Dusk shakes her head. "No…just…I'm sorry."

"For what?" Blitz asks.

Dusk looks at him again. "For everything."

"You are working to make things right. You are working to change." Blitz says moving to her back.

Dusk smiles a bit and shivers. "Do you treat all your enemies like this?"

"No. You are lucky is all." Blitz jokes.

Dusk huffs. "Yeah, lucky enough to lose my siren abilities and not be able to head to sea anymore."

"Not sure, if this form is because of how your battle ended in that world or if it was the method you came back through." Blitz says.

Dusk sighs. "Maybe, maybe not. I just know I'll never have it again. Guess it's for the better."

"Do you think there is anything left of your home as most consider sirens to be myths?" Blitz says.

Dusk shrugs. "Don't know. Can't even check and it's been such a long time, I forgot where I left my keys." She said with a smile.

Blitz chuckles as he finishes her tail. "Well that should be everything." Blitz says getting up and goes to get a towel.

Dusk looks to him again. "Why trust me like this?"

"You have given me no reason to doubt you. I even left several ways for you to leave, some even obvious and you never took one." Blitz says grabbing one off the towel rack and walks back.

Dusk watches him carefully. "And why me personally?"

"I think we went over that already or do you want me to say I want you as another one of my wives?" Blitz jokes.

Dusk blushes. "Um…"

"What, not what you wanted to hear?" Blitz asks helping her out of the tub.

Dusk blushes really hard. "Okay, that's enough."

"Ok, I'll stop joking for now. You want to dry off yourself or you want help?" Blitz asks.

Dusk sighs and takes the towel. "You better get to the hot spring."

"You are the last one on my list so I will escort you there." Blitz says.

Dusk smiles and wrings the water out of her mane and tail. "So…what do you think of me?"

"I doubt many straight stallion or even a few griffons could resist you." Blitz says eying her over once.

Dusk raises an eyebrow. "Griffons?"

"That is how good you look." Blitz says smirking.

Dusk blushes. "Okay, you are just messing with me, aren't you?"

"No." Blitz says as if it was the most natural thing to say.

Dusk sighs and throws the towel away. "So can we go now?"

"Sure." Blitz says leading the way.

Blitz sighs as he enters the hot spring and sees the room with three ways for both females and males and both. "Huh, guessing it's both." He said to himself as he heads into the middle and finds most of the family there. "Hey guys." Blitz calls grabbing a towel.

"Blitzy." Pinkie calls holding Sunshine who was splashing in a kiddy pool.

Blitz chuckles and gets into the water and puts the towel over his head. "So, what did I miss?"

"Nothin much, just started to relaxin." Applejack says.

Blitz smiles and holds open his hooves. "Come here."

Applejack swims over and lays into him. Then Pinkie gasps. "Applejack, where is your hair bands? Did you lose them in the water?" Pinkie asks.

Applejack shakes her head and makes her hair float in the water. "Just…trying new things."

"Oh." Pinkie says going back to paying attention to her filly.

Applejack smiles and looks up at him. "Like the new me?"

"I love you, no matter how you look." Blitz says.

Applejack sighs in relief and nuzzles his chest. "I love you."

"Time to relax." Blitz says.

Applejack smiles and kisses his cheek. "Thanks."

"Count me in." Rarity says floating over.

Blitz smiles and opens his leg for her and she floats in and puts her head on his chest. "You are so huggable. With a few jiggly parts." He whispered the last part as he puts his hoof on her flank.

"Watch it love." Rarity warns.

Blitz chuckles. "You weren't saying that when we were alone. You and your cute little pout."

"Shut up." Rarity simply says.

Blitz chuckles and pets her mane.

"So, how's that necklace coming along?" Mary asks.

"I nearly completed it." Twilight whispers as Arcane is having a splash fight with Azure, Sunshine, Blast, and Spectrum in the kiddy pool.

Rainbow smiles and places in a whale floatie in the pool and they all rush it and try to climb on top of it.

"Oh, so cute." Dusk says watching from the hot spring.

Rainbow smiles a bit. "Yeah, we really need them to like each other so play around. Maybe a playground soon?"

"But we keep moving constantly because of Blitzy's job." Pinkie says.

Rainbow sighs. "How long would we stay around each of our three homes now?"

"Three?" Pinkie asks her head turning slightly.

Rainbow nods. "Yeah, Daring's home, the castle and now here."

"Oh." Pinkie says before turning back to the foals.

Rainbow chuckles. "So, how long are we spending time at each of these places?"

"That depends on our Blitzy's job." Twilight says waving at Arcane. Arcane laughs and waves back. "My little Arcane is so smart." Twilight says smiling.

Blitz grins. "He is your boy."

"I'm just so proud of him." Twilight says before smacking Blitz with her tail.

Blitz smirks and takes hold of her tail and pulls it a bit. "Sneaky."

"You know it." Twilight says walking away.

Blitz sighs. "I'll say it again, I love this family."

"We love ya too Blitzy." Applejack says.

Blitz smiles and nuzzles her. "So…anypony who needs a night with me, switch with these girls."

Fluttershy walks up to Twilight before whispering into her ear. "Twilight, is that ready yet?"

Twilight smiles. "It's about done. Just need a few days."

"Then we will have a new addition, right?" Fluttershy whispers.

Twilight smirks. "And your new pet?"

"What is that about Fluttershy getting a new pet?" Blitz asks.

Twilight waves him off. "Nothing Blitzy."

"Oh that reminds me girls, now that we have the fief all situated, we will be going on a safari to the zebra tribes lands soon." Blitz says.

They all look to him. "When?" Twilight asks.

"In a few days." Blitz says while sending her a message in morse code. 'Soon after you finish the amulet.'

Twilight nods before looking to Dusk who was enjoying the hot spring before heading back inside. "Fluttershy, watch Arcane for me while I go get something." Twilight says.

Fluttershy smiles. "Sure."

Blitz smiles as he could see Twilight was a little less overprotective and trusted Fluttershy with Azure more now after she had watched him while they were in the other world. "Pet, come over here for a bit." She said returning with a nearby book.

'Where's the amulet?' Blitz sends.

Twilight searches the dresser in the room leading to the hot spring before taking out something wrapped in silk. "Here is it. And give this to Blitz." She said giving a book to Fluttershy.

Fluttershy nods and takes it and walks back.

Twilight smiles as she walks around the spring to Dusk and taps her shoulder.

Dusk opens her eyes to see Twilight. "Yes?"

"I got something for you from my husband." Twilight says.

Dusk turns around a bit. "What is it?"

"Oh, how about you open it up and see." Twilight says using her magic to hold the silk wrapped object just out of Dusk's reach in the water.

Dusk frowns and gets out of the hot spring before reaches up and grabs it before unfolding it and stops. "What…?"

"Surprise, me and Blitz have been working on it for a while." Twilight says.

Dusk takes out her repaired necklace. "How…?"

"Well it wasn't easy and involved studying the energy readings Blitz captured from our battle of the bands." Twilight says.

Dusk gulps and puts the necklace around her neck and feels a surge of familiar power. "It's…" Seeing this, the mares rush to the foals to cover their ears. "It's such a good feeling now and it's great to be back." She actually sang.

Blitz smiles. "Try changing."

Dusk didn't hear him as she sang with her beautiful voice she had in the other world.

Blitz sighs. "At least she's trying to not hypnotize here."

Dusk stops singing and hugs Twilight. "Thank you."

Twilight smiles and hugs her back. "No problem. You're family."

"Wait, what?" Dusk asks.

Twilight smirks. "You're family. Blitz and his friends are always family to us. But I want you to join the family permanently. Any objections?"

Dusk looks to her necklace again before smiling. "Sure."

"Blitzy, you have a new wife." Twilight says in a sing song voice.

"And that Ahsoka, is the pecking order." Blitz says before quickly gets out of the spring and runs into the house.

Ahsoka sighs. "And that's the guy I actually like, running away from females."

Twilight just smiles hearing that and says. "Now, as part of tradition, you got to go catch Blitzy."

Dusk tilts her head. "Huh?"

"We all caught him before we married him, now it is your turn." Twilight says.

Dusk sighs and runs off where Blitz went. "Where are you flanker?!"

Blitz says nothing, hiding behind a suit of armor.

Dusk groans as she looks around. "Come on Blitz. I'm really not in a mood."

Blitz tries to stealthily sneak away when he feels his tail grabbed. "Uh oh." He said being pulled back.

Dusk sighs as she lays on his back. "This feels nice."

Blitz sighs. "You caught me, but how did you find me?" Blitz asks.

Dusk points to the armor. "You left it open?"

Blitz inwardly curses himself as Dusk rubs her head against him. "You accepted Twilight's offer rather quickly." Blitz says.

Dusk sighs. "Maybe a change in my way of life is what I need. So why not you?"

"You know being married to me won't be easy right?" Blitz asks.

Dusk looks to him. "Oh and what does it entail?"

"For one, I am charged with getting this planet up to space faring status which means I am more or less in charge and I have to supply them with weapons and ships for their fleet." Blitz says

Dusk tilts her head. "So what does it involve with me?"

"You could become a target for anyone who doesn't want this change or is envious of my authority." Blitz says.

Dusk sighs. "So do you want me or not?"

"I'm just telling you the risks of what you have signed up for and as my new wife, you will be playing with me and Pinkie tonight." Blitz says.

Dusk blushes. "Um…"

"Think of this as the opening of our honeymoon." Blitz says.

Dusk gulps. "What did I get myself into?"

"Don't worry, we will take it easy on you." Blitz says.

Dusk whimpers a bit. "Oh boy."

"Rise and shine." Blitz says petting Dusk as light peeks through the window.

Dusk groans. "Five more minutes."

"Ok love." Blitz says kissing her ear.

Dusk's ear twitches. "Love yo…"

Blitz smirks as he rolls over to the other side to face Pinkie. "So how are you?"

Pinkie smiles as she nuzzles him. "Thanks and she is too."

Blitz smiles and kisses her nose. "You best go see Sunshine, ok?" Blitz asks.

Pinkie nods and kisses his nose too before getting off the bed and heading out, trying to keep her tail down.

Blitz playfully yanks it as she leaves before turning back to Dusk and holds her.

Dusk sighs and nuzzles into his chest. Blitz smiles and waits for her to yawn and start to wake up. Dusk groans as she looks around before they land on Blitz. "Um…hi?" She tries as she blushes heavily.

"You sleep well after our first night as husband and wife?" Blitz asks.

Dusk still blushes. "Um…yeah."

"Good lady Dusk." Blitz jokes a bit.

Dusk eeps and hits him. "Sh…shut up."

"You're a lot like Rainbow. Now come on, I suspect mom will want to talk to you." Blitz says.

Dusk sighs and gets out of bed with Blitz following. "You think she will accept me?"

"We shall see." Blitz says as they enter the kitchen where Mary was playing with Sunshine as Pinkie cooked.

Blitz smiles. "Okay, I want some pancakes and some cupcakes for my wife here."

"Coming up." Pinkie says as Mary inspected Dusk very intently.

Blitz grins as he sits down and plays with Sunshine. "So, how did your night go mom?"

"Fine, Sunshine was a little ball of energy though." Mary says not taking her eyes off Dusk.

Dusk shrinks under her gaze. "I'll have some water here."

Mary puts her hooves on her head, making her look her in the eyes for several moments before saying. "No objections."

Dusk whimpers a bit as she tries to lower herself under the table.

"You have my blessing, just don't hurt my son, got it?" Mary asks.

Dusk eeps and hides under the table.

"Come on Dusk." Blitz says pulling her out from under the table and sits her in a chair beside him.

Dusk whimpers as she tries to hide by pressing herself against Blitz.

"Relax, she has approved you." Blitz says petting her.

Dusk eeps again and hides a bit behind him and buries her face into his coat.

"Your new stepmom is silly, isn't she?" Blitz asks Sunshine.

Sunshine giggles and waddles over to her before climbing onto her head and coos at her.

"Aw, your step daughter loves you already." Blitz says.

Dusk looks up and see Sunshine smiling at her. "H…hi."

"Aw, so adorable." Pinkie says before gasping. "This means we are sisters!" Pinkie says after bringing Dusk into a hug.

Dusk eeps as she felt being hugged. "Um…can you…?"

"Fluttershy!" Blitz calls.

Fluttershy happily hums as she trots in and takes Dusk away before looking straight at her. "We're going to have fun."

"Not yet Flutters, help build her confidence first." Blitz says.

Fluttershy looks sad. "Aw, can't I do a bit?"

"A bit, besides you have to pack with the rest of the girls. Remember our safari and seeing all the wildlife in the zebra tribe's lands?" Blitz asks.

Fluttershy smiles. "Come on, let's get ready for you to be brave." She said tapping Dusk's nose.

"Um…ok." Dusk says.

Blitz smiles and looks to Mary. "Go easy."

"Ok, I will go easy and won't go far." Fluttershy says before humming as she took Dusk away.

Blitz chuckles. "Alright mom, are you ready for our trip?"

"Yes I am." Mary says.

"Blitzy." Fleetfoot says walking in.

Blitz smirks. "Sit."

"Sorry Blitzy, Vinyl undid the hypnosis on me, but doesn't mean I won't sit here." Fleetfoot says before sitting in Blitz's lap.

Blitz chuckles as he runs a hoof on her hindleg. "Well, that was my way of embarrassing you."

"And you had your way with me yesterday." Fleetfoot says.

Blitz smirks. "Yeah, you like being under control, do ya?"

"Under Fluttershy's control, no. Under yours? When did I leave it?" Fleetfoot asks smirking.

Blitz raises an eyebrow before pinching a spot on her leg and makes her yelp. "What's wrong? Something bite ya?"

"Only one that can bite me is my husband." Fleetfoot says.

Blitz chuckles. "I love ya Fleet."

"Oh thank you love." Fleetfoot says resting her head on his chest.

Blitz smiles and kisses her head. "You fine now, right? About your old friend?"

"Yeah, I think I have finally come to terms with it." Fleetfoot says.

Blitz nods. "Good. Just warn me before you breakdown, okay?"

"I will love." Fleetfoot says.

Mary smiles as she sips her coffee. "So, when are we heading out?"

"In a few days I am leaving the fief to be handled by my secretary and my squire." Blitz says.

"Really, giving Whirlwind some responsibility governing?" Lightning asks walking in.

"Hey Lightning." Blitz says smiling.

Lightning smiles. "Hey Blitzy. Why the heck are you giving the job to him now?"

"He has been training in martial skills by us for more than a year. It is time he starts learning how to govern more efficiently and the secretary was a former squire so he can teach him." Blitz says.

Lightning sighs. "You really like messing things up, don't you?"

"How am I doing that?" Blitz asks.

Lightning groans. "Yeah, you're a bit of trouble."

"It's only for a few weeks love, I swear." Blitz says.

Lightning sighs. "Don't ruin our time."

"Love, get over here and tell me what's wrong." Blitz says.

Lightning groans as she walks over. "You are leading…" She stops as she looks to side and they see the family picture of them, happy and all together. "Look at us now."

"Ah, you are not happy. I have been so busy with work, right?" Blitz asks.

Lightning presses her lips together. "No, just…remember the old days?"

"Come here Lightning." Blitz says opening his hooves for her and Fleetfoot scoots over.

Lightning sighs and walks over before hugging him and sitting on his lap. "Our family is bigger yes, but…look at us now. Ask yourself, where is everyone?"

"Sleeping mostly." Blitz says using a spell to scan her.

Lightning nods. "Yeah, but where are each of them when most of us are awake? Working long hours at something, something away from family. The only thing that is keeping us together is well…" She said before looking to Sunshine happily nibbling on a cupcake. "Is them. They want to play together and that's what keeps us together. Not us unless we call for it and that's few and far in between."

"Lightning, I think I also have news for you." Blitz says.

Lightning looks up at him. "What is it?"

Blitz rests a hoof on her stomach.

Lightning looks down at where is hoof is. "So…?"

"It seems we have four pregnant mares, not three." Blitz says.

Lightning sighs. "Still, do you realize what's happening?"

"I do and that is why I scheduled this for all of us to spend time together." Blitz says.

Lightning looks back to him. "What about when we're not on vacation? Like just regular dinner?"

"I'm going to push for that to happen." Blitz says as Fleetfoot lays her head on Lightning's shoulder.

Fleetfoot smiles. "It'll be okay. We're still here and that's a start."

"Yeah, none of us have left. We just have to go do our jobs at times." Pinkie says.

Lightning looks to them. "And yet look when we try to spend time when we should. It's just work when you should be spending time as a family."

Pinkie tilts her head. "What do you mean?"

Lightning looks to her. "Rarity at lunch yesterday."

'I'm sorry darlings, I have to go deal with some new orders and finish our standard design. Leave my lunch at the door and knock.'

"Yeah, I talked to her about that already. She has already agreed to not work as hard and spend more time with the family and Lightning, you know what your condition means, right?" Blitz asks.

Lightning sighs. "Yeah, no fun for our nights. Whoo hoo." She said waving a hoof around.

"Not that. Pinkie, get Twi will you?" Blitz asks.

Pinkie salutes with a spatula. "Yes sir." She said before running off and leaves a smoke trail behind. Blitz keeps smirking at Lightning as they wait and Sunshine mirrors the smirk. Blitz tickles Sunshine stomach and makes her giggle as a screeching sound was heard and stops at the door. "Last stop, kitchen." They hear Pinkie.

"Twi, you there." Blitz calls.

"More or less." Twilight said as she stumbles inside like she was drunk.

"Twi, I want a second opinion. Scan Lightning." Blitz says.

Twilight smiled as she goes up to her and scans her. "What am I looking for?"

"If she is pregnant." Blitz says.

Twilight nods and keeps scanning until she stops. "She is."

"Ok, you know what that means Twi. She goes onto the plan." Blitz says smirking.

Twilight smirks as well. "Oh yes she does."

Lightning looks between them. "What the heck are you talking about?"

"It's a new plan he has come up with for the mares who get pregnant." Twilight says smirking.

Lightning tilts her head. "And what's that?"

"Well think of it as the pampering plan." Twilight says.

Lightning just gets confused. "Pampering?"

"First up, a trip to the spa." Twilight says.

Lightning's eye widen. "Wait a minute."

"Of course that won't happen till we get back from the safari, right love?" Blitz asks looking at Twilight.

Twilight nods. "Yeah, we need to set things up."

Lightning exhales, knowing she just dodged a bullet thanks to Blitz.

Blitz chuckles and nuzzles her. "Now say you love me."

"I adore you my husband." Lightning says.

Blitz grins. "That's my wife. Now get going and get ready." He said tapping her flank.

"Ok…can I hunt while there?" Lightning asks smirking.

Blitz chuckles nervously. "Let's check with the leader nearby and see if it's appropriate."

"Oh, I will pack my rifle." Lightning says running off excited.

Blitz groans. "And that's my wife."

Twilight chuckles as she rubs against Blitz. "Hey there Sunshine, want to play with your brother?" Twilight asks.

Sunshine laughs and reaches for her.

"Ok, here he is." Twilight says pulling him out of the pouch on her back. "You like it dear? I had a seat made for my back so Arcane won't fall off." Twilight says as she puts Arcane next to Sunshine.

Sunshine giggles as Arcane cheers and they hug each other.

"Aw, they love each other so much." Pinkie says coming back with many pancakes.

The foals cheer as Pinkie sets a plate and they dig in.

"And you have to take this one from me." Pinkamena says taking over and hold the pancake in her mouth.

Blitz smiles and grabs her before eating away.

"Delicious." Pinkamena says.

Blitz smiles and chews away before swallowing. "Yep, delicious. Just try it more when we have another night, okay?"

"Oh, I will sexy." Pinkamena says putting a hoof on his chest.

Blitz grins as he puts a hoof on hers. "Okay, now you better get cooking for the others when they get ready."

"On it love." Pinkamena says walking to the oven.

Sunshine and Arcane was now chewing away happily on the same pancake.

"Once Applejack, Rarity, Shadow and Lightning have their foals, we will have ten at least and only Spitfire, Fleetfoot, Fluttershy and Dusk will have yet to have one." Twilight says.

Blitz smiles. "Yeah. Just need to worry about the rooms and everything for them."

"Well the castles aren't an issue, but Daring's cottage might be." Fleetfoot says.

Twilight nods. "Yeah, I'll see what I can do about that. Though the foals will love it all the best."

"Speaking of her cottage, where is Daring and Venator?" Blitz asks.

Twilight smiles. "Spending time with him. Having him wear something close to her outfit."

"Pinkamena, you mind ringing the breakfast bell?" Blitz asks smirking.

Pinkamena throws something and a knife hits the wall where the bell was and the bell rings.

Blitz kept his smirk as he hears ponies coming.

"Breakfast!" Most of the family cheers as they rush in and take their seats.

"Daring." Blitz says leaning over.

Daring has a pancake stuck in her mouth as Venator coos and sucks on a milk bottle in an outfit similar to hers.

"Where has my adventure and hunter been?" Blitz asks.

Daring grins and pets his head. "Cute." She said muffled.

"Hey Venator, how are you?" Blitz asks.

Venator coos behind his bottle and keeps sucking.

"You want to see animals Venator?" Blitz asks leaning in.

Venator coos and looks at him.

"That's my boy." Blitz says messing with his mane softly.

Venator coos and goes back to sucking on his bottle.

"You interested Blazer?" Blitz asks.

Blazer looks up at him. "Uh…sure dad."

"Just make sure you keep them charging rhinos away." Applejack says.

Blitz waves her off. "Oh don't worry. We'll be fine."

"What's a rhino?" Blazer asks.

Applejack pats his head. "Oh you will learn them soon enough."

"Especially since we have Fluttershy and Twilight." Rainbow comments as she lays on a cloud with Spectrum and Blast.

Blitz smiles. "Yeah, they will teach and keep them at bay, but we need to learn anyway. Also Twi, I invited a special guest to come with us."

Twilight looks to him. "Who?"

"Oh, there she is now." Blitz says as Zecora walks in tired.

"Zecora!" The mane six cheers.

"Greetings my friends." Zecora says.

Chapter 1 (Part 8): Changing Times

"So how does it feel having your lightsabers back Ahsoka?" Blitz asks as he sat in the ship she came on in his ceremonial leader armor.

Ahsoka sighs. "Better. I needed it soon anyway."

"You think this is a little much with the small cape on my shoulder?" Blitz asks.

Ahsoka chuckles. "Nah, you look cute by the way."

"Oh, master is flirting with me." Blitz jokes as he twirls a blaster in his hand.

Ahsoka giggles. "No, making sure you are your best under pressure."

"Don't you mean when I am putting pressure on a woman like you?" Blitz jokes.

Ahsoka grins. "You want to place pressure? How about you really place it on me?"

"This ship does have a bed we can slip into." Blitz jokes.

Ahsoka raises an eyebrow. "Oh, you want to try that training?"

"It will help train your endurance." Blitz jokes.

Ahsoka laughs. "And your aim once we're outside."

"Ok, enough innuendo jokes for now Ahsoka." Blitz says seeing the Jedi ship approaching.

Ahsoka sighs before looking to him. "Hey Blitz?"

"Yeah?" Blitz asks.

Ahsoka looks to the ship again. "Thanks…for being there for me."

"No need to thank me." Blitz says.

Ahsoka shakes her head. "No, I mean it. Thanks, for everything we have been though. Even if I was angry at you that one time."

"You were angry?" Blitz asks confused.

Ahsoka smiles. "Yeah, after you left me behind that one time on my own. It got really bad for me at one point. I was so embarrassed when a regular soldier saved me."

"That's all about having emotions and growing up." Blitz says putting on his helmet and holstering his blaster pistol.

Ahsoka nods. "Yeah. Just need to face my masters now."

"So care to tell me what your call to them a few days ago was about?" Blitz asks.

Ahsoka gulps. "I told them."

"About?" Blitz asks surprisingly not sounding mad.

Ahsoka looks surprised at his reaction. "You."

"Any specifics?" Blitz asks.

Ahsoka sighs. "Well, our past. Then there's the whole finding the force user."

"Did you tell them I can now take a human form?" Blitz asks.

"I left that part out." Ahsoka says.

"How about this is my clan's territory now?" Blitz asks.

Ahsoka smiles. "That too. Would you include me if they don't take me back?"

"You are already family to me." Blitz says.

Ahsoka nods. "I meant in your personnel clan?"

"Yes." Blitz says.

Ahsoka sighs in relief. "Good. I was worried I would have to become a bounty hunter."

"With that body, you would get a bounty for just being hot." Blitz says in a way that made Ahsoka unable to determine if he was being serious or joking.

Ahsoka sighs and gets up. "Come on. We are getting too close."

"Yes master Ahsoka." Blitz says getting up as the ship docks.

Ahsoka turns to him. "When alone, just Ahsoka. I don't feel that comfortable with the name master in front of it."

"And in front of your masters and troops?" Blitz asks.

Ahsoka smirks. "You can decide that."

"Don't want them to freak out and get you in trouble." Blitz says.

Ahsoka smiles. "Then let's keep it quiet for now."

"Lead the way Ahsoka." Blitz says.

Ahsoka nods and leads him to the airlock as the ship shuddered. "Okay, try to put on your best face"

"This is my best face." Blitz jokes pointing to the helmet.

Ahsoka rolls her eyes. "Oh brother, you still got jokes."

"When did I run out?" Blitz asks.

"Good point." She said as the door opens.

Blitz follows as they were greeted by clones.

"Oh, where's general Anakin and Obi Wan?" Ahsoka asks taking a shot in the dark.

"On the bridge commander." A clone says.

Ahsoka nods and leads Blitz as he eyes the clones eyeing him. "Try to be respectful. Remember last time?"

"That hut and his cronies tried to blast us." Blitz reminds.

Ahsoka rolls her eyes. "After you insulted his weight."

"But he did weigh a ton." Blitz says.

Ahsoka sighs. "And yet, you still decided to open your big mouth."

Blitz just grumbles to himself as they enter the elevator.

Ahsoka smiles as she turns to him. "But thanks for pointing it out because I would have said it myself soon."

Blitz chuckles hearing that.

Ahsoka sighs. "Brace yourself."

"I got a few flamethrowers and explosives already ready in case things go south." Blitz says.

Ahsoka rolls her eyes. "Really, blow up the ship in deep space?"

Blitz chuckles. "Well, I would hold a kiss so you can survive until we find another ship."

"You wish." Ahsoka says smirking.

Blitz smirks under his helmet. "Well you are cute."

"Ok, enough joking. We are here." Ahsoka says.

Blitz sighs as he watches the door opens and finds the two jedi standing in front of a holodeck. "Ahsoka? Where have you been?" Anakin asks.

Ahsoka sighs. "Busy, searching, feels like I'm mining for diamonds."

"Not too hard on the planet you were searching on." Blitz says with a serious tone.

Ahsoka glares slightly at him. "I was confined a bit too much."

"You did enter this system illegally." Blitz says.

Ahsoka sighs. "I asked the fleet out there permission."

"I think we are getting off topic." Obi-Wan says.

Ahsoka nods. "Yes, now what did you come here for?"

"Besides to pick up your padawan and deliver the cargo." Blitz says.

Anakin raises an eyebrow at the one in body armor. "Well, we thought of speeding her search along if she hasn't finished it and if she did, then we will take her and new force user out of here and back to the temple."

"Yeah, you see that is the problem. The one she was sent to find, he is a father and a high ranking representative of the planet below." Blitz says.

Obi-Wan just crosses his arms. "Really, well care to tell just in case we have to protect him?"

"I don't think you will need to protect the chief of our mandalorian clan." Blitz says.

"Chief?" Anakin asks.

"That is right. The chief." Blitz says.

"Obi-Wan, this situation is far more complicated than we first though." Anakin whispers.

He nods. "Yes, we need to at least hold the separatists back from this place." He whispered back.

"The only reason they would come to our territory is if they followed after you." Blitz says.

"Doubt it. We had stealth." Anakin said.

"Then how did we receive word from our informants four days ago?" Blitz asks.

Obi Wan sighs. "Word of permission went past, but not the ship itself."

"We also received word two jedi and clones were coming as well." Blitz says.

"But not who." Anakin said.

"The clones were said to be the 501st and that narrowed down the jedi possibility drastically." Blitz says.

Obi Wan glares slightly to Anakin. "Told you."

"As such, the ships are not meant for you they are for uninvited guests." Blitz says.

Anakin sighs. "So can we have the force user and our padawan back?"

"She is free to go, but do you expect us to hand over the chief so easily especially since he is a representative of the planet and in charge of overseeing the defense and space related development?" Blitz asks.

Obi Wan frowns. "So what do you suggest?"

"There isn't much you can do as of thirty-six galactic hours ago the Citadel alliance officially recognized and invited the system to join them which was accepted almost immediately." Blitz says.

Anakin sighs. "Let's just go. We have no other business here."

"You're forgetting two things. One the supplies that is a part of the deal and second the high probability you were followed as if we got this info without trying than the separatists…" Blitz stops letting them put it together themselves.

Obi Wan sighs. "We better stay awhile."

"Sir, we have ship emerging from hyperspace!" A clone yells.

They look to see a Separatist fleet emerge from hyperspace. "Oh crap." Blitz said before he walks away a bit and holds up his communicator. "Prep a pick and run. I think this might get worse before it gets better." He tells the fleet commanders.

"You have a good ship." Spike said back.

Blitz hangs onto a bar from a wall as an explosion suddenly occurred from the ship. "Had a good ship." Ridley said.

"Screw it, get the Darkline in place and fire the Silencer and vaporize that fleet of droids!" Blitz orders.

"Did he just say the silencer?!" Obi-Wan asks.

Blitz suddenly runs up to Ahsoka. "Sorry about this whole thing. But I may have to go soon and maybe we'll talk later, okay?" He asks almost like he had a smile.

Ahsoka groans. "Just be careful."

Blitz grins under helmet. "Hey, it's me."

Ahsoka just stares at him. "That's what I'm worried about."

Anakin quickly brings up the battlespace and sees the separatists' fleet firing or trying to fire on the ship they are in before a beam quickly flies past them and hits the fleet and decimates almost all of it and collapsing the formation. "Direct hit. Finish them." Blitz said into his communicator. A whole fleet of fighters, frigates and two destroyers went past them and started to fire on the remaining scattered ships as some salvage ships collected the small ships and moved them back to the defense fleet. "Alright, what are you doing?"

"We need good ships without building them from the ground up. Why not use these ships that can hold in a firefight? We can remake them later to our own image." Spike said.

"Capture what you can, I will finish the talks with the jedi." Blitz says.

"You got it, just hurry back. The others are getting worried once they heard of you getting in the middle of trouble." Spike said.

"Yeah, yeah." Blitz says closing the communication channel. "Before you ask, we pilfered the designs when we stole a prototype ship years ago. Someone managed to recreate lost tech from the second galactic civil war." Blitz says.

Ahsoka smiles. "Okay, you are getting to be higher on my list."

Obi Wan and Anakin stares at him in silence.

"Don't think the republic is getting off easy for this either." Blitz says.

Ahsoka sighs. "So I guess this is goodbye for now. Just try not to insult someone again, oh wait."

"On the contrary, the CIS just launched an unprovoked attack on a sovereign system of the Citadel alliance and three Mandalorian clan's ship. Neither is going to take this lying down, but we will be sharing words with the republic about this later." Blitz says.

Anakin nods slowly. "Yes…that's…fine."

"Why don't you three come down to the planet while we finish hunting them down and see if there is any hidden ambushes lying in wait?" Blitz says.

Obi Wan tries to speak. "Um…yes. Head down to the planet." He calls out.

"What? Intimidated by a true mandalorian after getting shot down by the pretender currently ruling mandalore duchess Satine?" Blitz asks.

Obi Wan just glares at him.

"Oh sorry, should I not have brought up your love life?" Blitz asks.

Ahsoka then gets curious. "If that one was a fake. What do the real mandalorians stand for?"

"Those who seek to constantly improve themselves, be it through battle or conquering harsh territories. Heck, even your clones were cloned from our supreme leader, Mandalore himself." Blitz says heading out.

Anakin holds up a hand. "Hold up. I thought the clones were from Jango Fett."

Blitz stops immediately and turns around Ahsoka could practically feel his glare through the helmet. "You will show respect to Mandalore or I will mount your skull on my wall as a trophy." Ahsoka holds up a finger before Blitz looks to her and she puts her hand down again. Blitz turns back around and walks to the elevator before heading inside and turns to look at them. "Don't cross us again." He seethed as the doors close on him.

"Nice work Anakin, you just insulted the defense forces of the system." Obi-Wan says.

"How was I supposed to know it would cause that type of reaction? After all, didn't they tell us that Jango Fett was the DNA parent of the clones?" Anakin asks in his defense.

"He never called him by name, only Mandalore. It is most likely taboo to call him by that name around them." Obi-Wan says.

Ahsoka just stared at the elevator door as she started to think on everything that Imperious had told her and her time with Blitz and the others. 'At least he keeps his promises.' She then looks slightly back to her masters. 'Unlike others at times.'

"Master, this might be our shot to get the Citadel alliance and the mandalorian clans to aid us in the war. We shouldn't alienate them." Ahsoka says.

Anakin looks to her. "You sure about that Snips? We are strained right now."

"That is why, more than ever, we need help." Ahsoka says.

Obi Wan raises an eyebrow. "I have to agree with her."

"Alright I give. Rex, come with us, we are going to pay a visit to the planet." Anakin says.

Ahsoka smiles. "You are going to need a guide."

"Let's go Snips." Anakin says.

Ahsoka smirks as she walks with him. "So you now see the advantage of me heading down there for a while?"

"Whatever you say Snips." Anakin says as he, Ahsoka, Obi-Wan and Rex got into the elevator that just returned.

Blitz groans as he steps into the Darkline. "Dang it. This just got worse."

"You think?" Spike asks standing in front of him.

"I know, tell Twi to get to her castle immediately and transport me there." Blitz says.

Spike sighs. "I'll get a dropship. But you better tell everyone down there." He said walking away.

"Everypony, but Twi and Arcane are at the castle." Blitz says before the transport activates.

Spike waves over his shoulder as he kept walking. "Don't break a table."

Blitz sighs as he appears in the castle. "Girls." Blitz calls.

A flash covered him before he started walking in his pony form. "Care to explain?" Twilight asks holding Arcane.

"Separatists followed and tried to destroy the republic starship and attacked us. We have been brought to war." Blitz says poking her stomach.

Twilight waves his hoof away. "And?"

"We are expecting jedi guests." Blitz say booping Arcane's nose with his.

Twilight sighs. "Anything we need to watch for on customs?"

"And they will be on their best behavior, for it could mean the difference between helping them directly or just fighting the CIS." Blitz says.

Twilight raises an eyebrow. "CIS?"

"Confederacy of Independent Systems." Blitz says as Arcane tries to climb over to Blitz.

Twilight nods. "I see. By the way, we have a small surprise. Well…big one."

"Can it wait, we don't have long?" Blitz says as Arcane manages to climb over to him.

Twilight giggles a bit nervously. "Well, I won't be doing the explaining. She will."

Blitz looks confused. "She who?"

"She me." A voice said beside him and all he see is smoke.

Twilight giggles nervously. "Meet Arcane's surprise. Celestia's mother, Terra and by a shock to me and still having some doubts, future mate." She said glaring to Terra as she morphed into her mare alicorn form.

Terra waves. "Hi! Terra here, shape shifter since I am the planet itself. Can become anything on the planet. Look, diamond dog." She said before changing into a diamond dog. "Uhg, diamond dog, uhg." She said before changing into a griffon and standing straight like a suit of armor. "Griffon, do I look still like a statue enough?"

"Hey!" Blazer yells across the dining room table.

Terra looks over and smiles. "Sorry kid, kinda focused on Arcane here. Forgot you were there."

"Can you turn yourself into something that is filled with holes?" Blitz asks cocking a gun.

"Oh, changeling." Terra said before morphing herself one. "Lookie. Buzz, buzz." She said humorously before turning herself into a bigger version. "Queenie. Buzz, buzz." She said to which she received some very angry hisses from above. "Sorry." She called above her. "Disrespectful, I know." She said changing back into a mare again.

Blitz is looking at Twilight snickering.

Twilight shrugs and still snickers. "Sorry, she is very funny and she is the package deal to which Celestia gave us and her father said to give to the next male alicorn. Her mother was placed into that as well. But I still find the future mate thing questionable." She said glaring slightly at Terra who was smiling and playing with Arcane's hooves.

"Who's a good alicorn? Who's a good alicorn?" Terra asks playing with Arcane who was laughing at her and trying to hug her.

"So she is a cradle robber." Blitz says.

Terra suddenly appears near him as another Terra keeps playing with Arcane. "Not really stallion. I just take care of the future king. That's what my husband wanted. The whole future mate thing, it's kinda both of our decision. Sorry, but look at it this way, if he can't find the right one, he's got one to fall back too. And I can become a hot mare." She said wiggling her eyebrows at him. "Though not to you. This whole thing is meant for him and his big self soon." She said pointing to Arcane now riding the other Terra around.

"Yeah, you going to remarry into my family?" Blitz whispers into her ear.

"Maybe." She whispered into his other ear as another Terra appeared right beside him and the one on the other side smirks at him.

"You did take care of my son, right?" Blitz whispers threatenly.

Both Terras turns him around away from the table and leans close to his ears. "Of course." One whispered. "We would never…" The other whispered. "Hurt our future king." They both whispered. "Doing so…" One whispered again. "Can hurt our chances with him." The other whispered. "And all of us don't want that." They both whispered.

"He will decide later." Blitz says.

Both Terras giggled before moving away to Arcane. "Thank you dearie." They both said with a flick of their waving tails.

"Please go so we can meet the guests." Blitz says.

The Terra who was playing with Arcane smiles and walks over and the other two suddenly collided into her and came together as she walks to Twilight. "Bye dearie." She said taking Arcane off her back and giving her to Twilight as she ruffles his mane for a bit and looks to Twilight. "Never stop being yourself." She said before morphing into smoke and flies off into the cracks of the room.

"The scariest thing is I am unfazed by that." Blitz says.

Twilight sighs as she pets Arcane and he yawns. "Well, at least he's got a good life. Also came with the package is a jade scepter with an almorian crystal. No idea what that is for."

"Focus for magic I would guess. So you want to tuck him in and sing or you want Sonata to?" Blitz asks.

Twilight smiles. "Have Dusk do it. I need to meet these guests of ours since I am unofficially as of now an ambassador of this planet."

"Gotcha. You up for that my loveable siren?" Blitz asks.

Dusk blushes. "Um…sure. Just let me finish eating." She said going back to her pancakes.

Blitz smirks at her as Twilight rocks Arcane. "Can't believe all this is happening to Arcane so fast and Celestia has forgiven us for all the trouble she caused."

"Shouldn't we have to forgive her?" Blitz asks taking off the rest of his armor.

Twilight smiles. "As long as one side is forgiving for me, I can accept it. Unless you are planning something else. Then it's either the sun or the moon for you."

'Considering I now know they are my granddaughters…how are they going to take that I wonder?' Blitz thinks.

Twilight sighs. "At least this whole trivial thing is over. By the way, Terra has something to ask you in the meeting room. It's been running in the back of her mind since she saw you and Arcane."

Blitz nods and puts his armor onto the table and grabs himself a tall glass of something. "Sure, I'll see what she's got, but make sure you be there." He said taking a drink and heading out.

Twilight smirks. "Okay, I'll try to tuck him in quick and hurry up. By the way, that's changeling slime." To which she received a lot of spitting outside and she snickers. "Kidding, it's just orange juice."

Blitz peeks his head around the corner of the door. "You're an evil queen."

Twilight smiles and shows her green eye. "By what gave that away?"

Blitz slinks away. "Ready." Dusk says putting her fork down.

Twilight smiles and leads her away to Arcane's room. "Singing time Dusk."

"Terra?" Blitz calls as he enters the meeting room and placing his blasters on the table or rather one of them before soundproofing the room.

Terra giggles as smoke enters the room and morphs into half of her mare body as her lower half remained smoke. "Ah good. Now then, what happened to the founding of Equestria?" She asks floating around. "Specifically, the ones about Heart's Warming Eve."

"You mean where I had intercourse with Commander Hurricane." Blitz says.

Terran suddenly floats in front of him. "So you did do it. No wonder my daughters are always so crazy at times. They might be you or they might be something else. So…do you deny it or not?"

"You are speaking in riddles to me. Speak plainly." Blitz says.

Terra smiles. "Okay then. I'll speak plainly. Did you fuck her or not?" She asks with a grin.

Blitz raises an eyebrow before sighing. "Fine. I did it."

Terra giggles and taps her hooves. "Oh my. My supposed father is the stallion before me. Oh, that might complicate things between me and Arcane. But who cares?! You only live once!" She cheered.

"Ok, I will wait in this chair as I know you are telling my granddaughters as we speak." Blitz says.

Terra giggles. "That's right. And in three, two, one." She said counting on her foreleg before a flash of light came from the room. "Grandfather?!"

"Luna beat Celestia that is a surprise." Blitz says.

Luna rushes up to him. "You're my grandfather?!"

"Apparently and before you ask, time travel." Blitz says.

Luna groans. "This is why time travel is forbidden."

"Don't blame me, blame that stupid artifact found in the Zebra territory." Blitz says petting her.

Luna squeaks before purring. "Oh, that feels nice."

"Hurricane did the exact same thing. Now your sister should be here soon." Blitz says.

Luna purrs like a kitten before another flash came out. "Grandfather?!"

Blitz explained it to Celestia and Luna. "So you tried and banish your baby uncle technically."

Celestia looks sheepish and blush. "Um…about that…"

"It is in the past and I am the source of alicorns." Blitz says.

Terra chuckles as she floats past his head. "How does it feel daddy? To know that your son has a double father and grandparent."

"He doesn't, Twilight is only related to Celestia and Luna by marriage." Blitz corrects.

Terra giggles before wrapping him in a hug. "It's nice to meet my father that my mother told me so much about."

"Meaning you once upon a time, a normal pony." Blitz says.

Terra sighs and floats around again. "Times daddy. Time makes all the difference."

"Now then, is there anything you girls w…" Blitz was cut off when Terra turned Luna and Celestia into foals.

"Go hug grandpa." Terra says.

They both cheered and leaps at him and hugs him to which Blitz smiles and catches them. "Aw, they also wanted to see their grandpa too, didn't they?" He asks nuzzling them.

"Yeah and this is their true forms, they age at a snail's pace compared to regular mortals." Terra says.

Blitz raises an eyebrow. "So what about Twilight and Arcane?"

"Twi, will age normally. Arcane, not so much after a point." Terra says.

Blitz nods as Celestia hugs around his neck and Luna gets on his head. "And what's that age?"

"Upon entering adulthood." Terra says.

Blitz tilts his head. "He can't age normally, so is it alicorn age numbers or mortal age numbers?"

"Physically, mortal age, duh silly." Pinkie says.

"Gah!" Blitz yells as he turns and sees Pinkie standing there. "Where did you come from?"

"A rock farm." Pinkie says smiling.

"Truth be told, she scares me." Terra says.

Pinkie giggles. "Hi Terra. How are you and have you questioned him yet? Oh wait, this is little Luna and Celestia, of course you have."

Terra sighs and rolls her eyes. "Seriously, do you see that? I don't know how you could marry this mare."

"She is adorable, smart, and always brightens my day. Literally at times. She painted a room bright yellow not long after I walked out to get something for a minute." Blitz says.

Terra stares at Pinkie as she just smiles innocently. "There's something about this mare and I got my eye on you." She said glaring at her. "And me." Another Terra said with one eye staring at her.

Pinkie just smiled before putting party hats on both.

The Terras then frowned as both Celestia and Luna smiles. "We hate you."

Pinkie giggles. "No you don't. You do that and you wouldn't have helped me on the rock farm."

Terra takes off her hat and throws it to the ground. "Dang you and Pinkie logic!" She yells to the sky.

Blitz smirks as he pets both Celestia and Luna.

Pinkie giggles and hugs them all and brings them together in one hug. "Time for a 'Welcome back grandpa party.' and a 'Say hello to your long lost grandfather.' party."

"How about no Pinkie? I don't want the others to know yet." Blitz says.

Pinkie frowns and looks depressed. "But…they are your family." She said pouting cutely.

"I didn't say we won't, just plan it out." Blitz says.

Pinkie brightens up. "Okay. Just play with them." She said before hopping off.

"Wouldn't Sunshine like to play with them?" Blitz asks.

Sunshine giggles as she hopes in and jumps on top of Blitz's head.

"Is she wearing a luchador mask?" Blitz asks.

Sunshine stares at Celestia and Luna before roaring and jumps at them and wrestles with them as they all laugh.

Terra smiles as she floats by. "Love the family now?"

"Luna, piledriver!" Blitz calls.

Luna squeals as she jumps up and piledrives Celestia and Sunshine.

"So the whole banishment to the moon?" Blitz asks.

"A time out?" Terra says.

Celestia looks up to them as she nervously giggles and Luna glares at her. "Celestia." Terra said menacingly.

"German suplex Sunshine." Blitz says.

Sunshine giggles before getting Celestia in a german suplex. Celestia screams and tries to reach for him.

"Alright Celestia." Blitz says picking her and Sunshine up.

Celestia grumbles as she looks to Sunshine. "Meany." Sunshine just gives a raspberry at her. Celestia couldn't take it and just laughs.

Luna cheers and jumps onto his lap as well and hugs Blitz with the rest of them.

"So Celestia, what do you think of your step-grandmother now?" Blitz asks.

Celestia looks up to him. "Sorry grandpa."

"No, I mean do you like Twilight being your step-grandmother?" Blitz asks.

Celestia pushes her hooves together. "Um…a bit."

"Terra, you mind if they stay like this for a few days? I have an idea for family bonding time. Could you take away most of their memories for now like they had an age spell cast on them?" Blitz whispers the last part into her ear.

Terra giggles. "Sure thing daddy. Come here my fillies." She said picking them up and casts a spell on them that makes their eyes roll around.

Blitz takes them back and smiles. "Give me a few weeks with them like this and please replace them so no one knows they have gone missing." Blitz requests as they snuggle into him.

Terra smirks as two more of her appears and change into the grown up version of Celestia and Luna. "Welcome newcomers to the planet of Equestria or maybe we should could up with a new name." The changed Terra Celestia said.

"Perfect. I will take care of the rest." Blitz says.

Luna and Celestia just snuggle into him. "Hi grandpa." They said.

"You best go, I will take care of them." Blitz says sending a message to Twilight to come see him.

Terra nods and takes the two grown up Celestia and Luna with her. "Bye daddy. Hope you have fun being a part of your bigger family."

Blitz waits as he rocks all three fillies, waiting for Twilight. "Okay Blitz, what is…going…wha…?" Twilight asks as she walks slowly in.

"Somepony didn't use an age spell correctly." Blitz says starting to explain to Twilight.

Twilight looks over the foals in his hooves. "So Celestia and Luna got turned into fillies?"

"And believe I am their grandfather and you are their grandmother." Blitz says as Luna looks at Twilight.

Luna smiles and jumps into her hooves and hugs as Twilight tries to hug her back. "So what do we do?"

"Terra entrusted us to take care of them." Blitz says.

Twilight sighs. "Are they at least grown up here? Makes you wonder how Arcane will grow up since we still don't know if he follows mortal or alicorn rules."

"We shall see, now come on grandma, take the other one too." Blitz says as Celestia had outstretched hooves.

Twilight smiles and takes Celestia before hugging her. "Aw, you like being with your grandparents?"

Celestia smiled as Luna was now on Twilight's back.

Blitz smiles as he nuzzles Sunshine. "Pinkie, please take Sunshine. The guest will be here shortly." He calls.

"Pinkie is preoccupied. I will take our daughter." Pinkamena says.

Blitz smiles and pulls her close. "Come here silly." He said giving a kiss on the lips.

Pinkamina sighs as he separates. "Okay. You had your little fun." She said taking Sunshine and walking away. "Bye sweetie."

"Will you two behave for our guests?" Blitz asks before booping both Celestia and Luna's stomachs.

They both giggle and snuggle into Twilight's sides.

"I'll take that as a yes. So if you two are good, cake for dessert tonight." Blitz says.

Celestia licks her lips and Luna huffs and crosses her forelegs.

"And for you, the big moon cookie." Blitz says.

Luna grins and claps her hooves.

"The one who judges you is your grandmother, ok you two?" Blitz asks.

They both look up and see Twilight smirking.

"Now let's go." Blitz says putting on a desperado hat and mirror sunglasses.

Twilight smiles. "It's nice to see you in that outfit again."

"You are trying to earn brownie points." Blitz says.

Twilight rolls her eyes. "Yeah, that's true."

"After you put those two to bed, you may join me and Fleetfoot." Blitz says.

Twilight grins and carries the two fillies away. "See you later Blitzy."

"Hey now. Not so fast, we have guests to meet." Blitz says.

Twilight giggles and then stops as she looks up at the doorway and sees a familiar face with another two who is almost as tall. "Ahsoka." She said as Celestia and Luna stares at the new arrivals.

"Hi Twilight. Who are the fillies?" Ahsoka asks.

"We are just foalsitting these little girls." Twilight says.

Ahsoka smiles as she walks over and bends down to them. "They look cute and familiar for some reason."

"You might have seen them around. So what brings jedi knight Skywalker and Jedi master Kenobi to our home?" Blitz asks.

Anakin sighs. "We came to talk about possible treaties."

"You mean you came to get my support in convincing the alliance and the true mandalorian clans to aid your republic directly now that both have been directly attacked." Blitz says.

Obi Wan clears his throat. "Yes, that is the intention. We will not lie. We all have a common enemy now. Why not fight together?"

"I could consider it, if your order wasn't trying to force me to leave because we discovered I was force sensitive late in my life." Blitz says.

Ahsoka sighs as she just hears silence from them and Luna and Celestia coos at her. "You were the one who is the force sensitive user we have seeking?" Anakin asks.

"Yes, I am." Blitz says as Fluttershy brings in some tea for everyone. "Thanks Flutters and could you get some chocolate milk for these two?" Blitz asks.

Fluttershy looks over and gasps. "Aw, two more foals. Whose are they?" She asks going up to them.

"Not ours, we are just foalsitting them for a bit. We will give you and the rest the full details later." Twilight says.

Fluttershy smiles as Celestia and Luna coos at her. "Aw, so cute. Oh, you two need chocolate milk." She said before rushing off.

"So, as you were about to say." Blitz says.

Obi Wan stares at him. "And you are not interested in going to the temple?"

"I have too many responsibilities here, include raising my own children in which I have four more on the way." Blitz says.

Ahsoka sighs. "Masters, let's leave him alone. There is no point when he's got alliance and the mandalorian on his side."

"My old friend speaks wisely and forcing the issue would just be a repeat of the incident that nearly lead to war between the republic and the alliance and the ban of jedi from the space for four hundred years. At this point, I don't think it would be in either of our interests to fight a war on two fronts." Blitz says.

The two knights just stares as Ahsoka smiles at him. "I would follow advice and trying to get a treaty from him is a bad idea."

"But at this point, I am your best chance for both as one of your council nearly killed Mandalore and with neutral hostile relationships with the alliance." Blitz says.

"So then what would you suggest?" Anakin asks.

"Don't make any unnecessary demands and we may pull this off. I can whip up the clans over this and Mandalore could proclaim a crusade against the CIS as retribution for attacking us, but the Alliance we can push for it and put forth facts, but I can make no guarantees over them as they wish to not become involved in your civil war." Blitz says.

"Understandable. Anything else you need?" Obi Wan asks.

"I am keeping Darth Imperius' holocron I found." Blitz says.

"Ahsoka!" Anakin calls like a parent.

"She does not possess it. She has seen it, but it was found on this planet and belongs to my clan." Blitz says.

Obi Wan sighs and places a hand over his face. "At least let us give you a lightsaber so you may train."

"Imperius left one to be found with the holocron, but your padawan called it a darksaber." Blitz says.

Obi Wan sharply looks up at her. "What does he mean 'darksaber'?"

Blitz brings out the weapon and puts it on the table, the sith empire's emblem engraving clear for all to see.

Both knights eyes the lightsaber. "Anything else while we're here?" Anakin asks.

"You should be informed of the abilities of my species here so you don't mistake them for force abilities." Blitz says before starting to explain.

Ahsoka smiles as she pets the two foals. "So cute. Who dropped them off?"

"Their mother. She has many things to do and can't watch them and do them at the same time." Twilight says.

Ahsoka looks closer to the foals. "Still familiar."

"Royal bloodline." Twilight explained.

"Fascinating. I have heard of some strange abilities, but never things like that, but it would explain why you didn't discover your force sensitivity until now." Obi-Wan says.

Blitz waves him off. "Yeah, the usual it looks like this stuff."

"I'm not sure I believe it." Anakin says.

"You want a demonstration huh?" Blitz asks before using his communicator to call Rarity and Fleetfoot.

"Hello?" They both answered.

"Girls, sorry to bother you, but could you come down here?" Blitz asks.

Fleetfoot smiles. "Right on it hubby." She said before signing off.

"In a sec." Rarity said signing off as well.

"Before you ask, current male to female population of this country of the planet was around one to ten." Blitz says.

Fleetfoot suddenly flies in. "Whatcha need? Vinyl messing up the room again?"

"No, our guest is having a hard time believing pegasus' can control the weather on this planet." Blitz says.

Fleetfoot looks over to them. "Which one, the old one or the rebellious looking one?" She whispered to him.

"I am not old, thank you very much." Obi-Wan says.

Fleetfoot looks over to him shocked. "How…you know what? I'll be right back." She said before flying out the window and grabbing a cloud as Rarity walks in.

"Okay darling, I am here. What do you need?" Rarity asks.

"Ah Rarity, I was hoping you could give a demonstration on magic for our guests here as one is having a hard time believing some of our natural abilities." Blitz says.

Rarity scoffs. "Well I never." She said before walking up to them. "Excuse me, but do you have any part of your clothing that is torn?"

"It's no offense love. It is just that your abilities are too amazing to believe without demonstrations." Blitz says.

Rarity smiles. "That's why I'm asking if they have any torn clothing."

"The sleeve of his left arm." Blitz says.

Rarity smiles and brings in a stool, needle and thread with her magic as they just stared at her as she looks at the sleeve before starting to stitch it up. "This won't hold in a firefight, but it should look presentable." She said cutting the thread.

"Got the cloud." Fleetfoot said flying in with a cloud in her hooves and places it over their head. "Hate to rain on your parade, but…" She kicks the cloud and makes it rain on them. "Believe us now?" She asks looking a bit smug.

Blitz just chuckles while Obi-Wan and Ahsoka held back their laughter.

Anakin groans. "I hate being wrong sometimes."

"Thanks girls. I think he gets the message." Blitz says.

Fleetfoot and Rarity smiles. "No problem." They said before heading out and leaving Anakin under the raincloud.

"Fleetfoot, please stop the cloud and take it out of here." Blitz says.

Fleetfoot giggles as she goes back and takes the cloud away. "Bye boys."

"Oh darling, don't forget you promised to play with the rest of the foals when you got back." Rarity reminds.

Blitz nods. "Sure thing. I just need to deal with everything here."

"Oh and Ahsoka, why don't you come too? The foals will love to play with you again." Rarity says.

Ahsoka smiles. "Sorry Rarity, but I may have to go soon."

"Oh that is a shame. They really liked you." Rarity says.

Ahsoka nods. "Oh that, I'm sure. It was nice seeing you again."

"Take care darling." Rarity says.

Ahsoka waves at her. "You too."

"We can at least put you four up for the night." Blitz says as Fluttershy brings back two cups of chocolate milk with straws in them.

Celestia and Luna cheers as they take their cups and starts drinking happily.

Obi Wan just sighs. "Alright. We'll take the offer. Might as well learn this place."

Ahsoka smiles to the foals. "You hear that, I'm staying for the night."

They both turn their heads at her as they keep sipping on their chocolate milk.

Ahsoka just smiles and scratches their heads. "Too cute."

Anakin sighs. "Fine. We'll learn more." He said trying to dry himself.

"The bathroom is down the hall, third door on the right." Blitz says.

Anakin grumbles as he heads out and tries to find the bathroom. "So where are we accommodated?" Obi Wan asks.

"I will show you to some of the guest rooms after general Skywalker returns." Blitz says.

Ahsoka giggles as the two foals try their best to glare at her. "They are so cute."

"Yes, they are." Twilight says petting them both.

Celestia pushes her hooves away and jumps down onto the floor and glares defiantly at Ahsoka.

"Oh is somepony cranky?" Blitz asks leaning down to her after he gets off his chair.

Celestia huffs and crosses her hooves. Blitz smiles and picks her up and pets her. Celestia squirms in his hooves before huffing and crossing her hooves while just looking on with a pout.

"Come on little one, let's go play with the others." Blitz says before taking Luna off Twilight's hooves and walking to the living room where all the foals that were not asleep, were playing. "Oh guys. We got new playmates." He said putting Celestia and Luna down with them.

Azure steps up to Celestia and looks her over. "Sis?" He asks pointing to her.

"Family." Blitz says smiling at him.

Azure smiles and hugs Celestia. "Sis!"

"Oh, that is cute." Octavia says.

Luna coos at him and Azure looks over. "Sis?" He asks pointing at her.

"Yes." Blitz says.

Azure smiles and brings Luna in for a hug. "Sis!"

Luna smiles and hugs him back.

Blitz sighs as they all turn back to play together again. "At least we are a happy family you two. Hey guys, look what I got." Blitz says holding up a large bouncy ball.

They all cheer as Blitz bounces the ball to them and they start bouncing between each other with their heads and chasing it around when it lands on the floor.

Twilight smiles as she steps up. "You better explain to me the real story. I can tell you are holding a lot of things back."

"I will, given time love." Blitz says as Twilight was hit in the head with the ball and Blitz struggles to suppress a laugh.

Twilight rolls the ball back to the foals. "Ha, ha, very funny."

"I thought so." Vinyl says.

Blitz chuckles as he walks over to her before hooking a hoof around Vinyl. "How's my little vampire?"

"Good, I think, but it is hard to tell for me since he isn't born yet." Vinyl says.

Blitz smiles as he rubs her stomach. "Tell me, what do you say to a spa trip since we might be in trouble soon enough. All of you soon enough."

"Nah, it isn't my scene." Vinyl says.

Blitz raises an eyebrow before petting her mane. "Aw, you are such a tomboy." Blitz says.

Vinyl purrs and hisses at him. "You know it blood bag."

"I love that about you." Blitz whispers into her ear.

Vinyl giggles and kisses his cheek before hugging his head. "Such a cute head."

"And what about the neck?" Blitz asks jokingly.

Vinyl smirks and licks his neck once. "And such a tasty neck. I wish I can drink right now."

"Sorry love, but I see a few blood packs." Blitz says noticing the blood packs nearby.

Vinyl giggles and let's go of him before taking one and biting into it and drinking it. "Yummy."

"Don't hog them all, little Azure looks to be getting thirsty." Blitz says.

Azure coos as he walks over and looks up at her. Vinyl smiles and grabs another blood pack before giving it to him and he bites it out of the air and starts drinking it happily.

"So I hear you have a running bet with Octavia, Spitfire, and the other versions of you and Octy." Blitz says.

Vinyl nods. "Yeah, just a small bet to see if you can get another pregnant."

"I heard if you have a daughter, you said you would put on a dress and go and take feminine classes." Blitz says.

Vinyl frowns. "I didn't agree to that."

"That is what I heard." Blitz says.

Vinyl groans. "Okay, that was the bet. But they forced me into it."

"Come here." Blitz says before starting to hold her.

Vinyl huffs as she snuggles into Blitz. "Who's got you tonight again?"

"Fleetfoot and Twilight bribed her way in." Blitz says.

Vinyl rolls her eyes. "Same old Twilight. Need to bring it down on the sex drive."

"She has a new trick that you will get to try after you have your little one." Blitz says.

Vinyl grins. "Oh, now I'm curious."

"Yeah, I think she will join in or at least set up for each session for a while." Blitz says.

Vinyl chuckles. "You better head back and play with the foals."

"Take a look." Blitz says as both Octavia's and the other Vinyls were playing with the foals.

Vinyl sighs. "We have a great family, don't we?"

"Yes…oh look at this, someone wants to be held." Blitz says seeing Azure reaching for Vinyl.

Vinyl smiles and bends down to pick him up. "Come here my little foal." Azure laughs as she picks him up.

Blitz smiles and nuzzles them both. "Love you both."

"Momma." Azure says.

Vinyl gasps and hugs him tightly. "Love you too sonny."

"Hey Vinyl, why don't you read him a story?" Blitz asks.

Vinyl chuckles. "Alright, come on Azure." She said taking him away to some books.

Azure points to one with a cartoonish bat.

Vinyl smiles. "That's my little vampire." She said ruffling his mane.

Azure smiles as she gets the book.

Blitz smiles as he looks to the others and sees them still playing with the same ball. "Who wants dinner?"

All the foals raised their hooves except Azure.

Blitz nods. "Alrighty. Let's have some food. I am starving." He said leading them to a table.

"Oh this is precious." Blitz says to Octavia when they see a sleeping Vinyl and Azure.

Octavia nods. "Yeah, she still loves him like he's her son."

"It didn't help he calls all of you momma." Blitz says snickering.

Octavia shrugs. "Easier to deal with."

"Did you catch a glimpse of when he called her that?" Blitz asks.

Octavia giggles. "Yeah, just her face was priceless." Blitz says nothing and pets Octavia. Octavia purrs and hisses a little. "I love you Blitzy."

Twilight snores out loud and they all look to see she has her face in her pancakes before snuggling it and mumbling happily.

"Twi." Blitz says walking up.

Twilight mumbles a bit more and takes a bite of her pancakes.

Blitz kiss her neck. "Time to wake up love." Blitz says.

Twilight mumbles a bit more before suddenly bringing her head up. "I'm pancake. I mean awake." She said sleepily while pointing a hoof up.

"Time for bed Twi." Blitz says picking her up.

Twilight groans as she mumbles over his shoulder. "But I…" She fell asleep at that point and snoring loudly again.

"Fleetfoot." Blitz calls.

Fleetfoot smiles and flies after them. "Don't start the party without me."

"I won't." Blitz says.

The others just watch as they all left and leaves the other mares and foals. "Alright. Who wants ice cream and cake?" Rainbow cheers from the end of the table and flying above it.

"Rainbow, Blitz left a note." Fluttershy says. Rainbow read it, telling her what the two fillies they were foalsitting gets for desert.

"Are you kidding me? That's boring." Rainbow said throwing the note away and makes it fly into Ahsoka's hand.

"But look at the faces they are giving Rainbow." Fluttershy says and Rainbow sees they were doing the quivering lip pout.

Rainbow frowns. "Fine." She said flying off to the table full of food nearby.

"Please give at least a slice of banana cream cake to the two foals and one big moon cookie." Ahsoka reads.

"Ok, you two, I'm back. Here is your slice of cake and cookie and for the rest of you, ice cream." Rainbow says placing them down by each foal.

The foals cheer as Celestia takes a big bite out of her cake and Luna opens her mouth wide and takes a big bite of her cookie before nibbling it. "Ah, nom, nom, nom." She said with each nibble and still holds the cookie in her mouth.

"Ah, cuteness overload!" Pinkie yells before grunting and falling over in her chair with her hoof over her heart.

"Pinkie, get back up here to see Sunshine eat her ice cream." Spitfire says.

Pinkie peeks her head over the table and sees Sunshine taking a big bite out of her ice cream and just gushing over it and then dives her whole head into the bowl and eats by mouth. Pinkie grunts again and holds a hoof over her heart as she wobbles around. "Too much, hngg." She grunts before falling down.

"So what do you think?" Blitz asks the newly transformed Fleetfoot.

Fleetfoot looks herself over. "Huh, nice body if these are good. These are good, right?" She asks looking her moderately sized breasts and butt.

"I don't know, you tell me." Blitz says before smacking her rear playfully.

Fleetfoot yelps and jumps a little. "Hey." She whines rubbing her rear.

"I'll take that as a yes." Blitz says sweeping her off her feet and into his arms.

Fleetfoot squeaks and holds him around the neck. "Um…put me down."

"So you notice yet?" Twilight asks removing her skirt.

Fleetfoot looks at her. "Notice what?"

"Would you have felt that in pony form?" Blitz asks.

Fleetfoot looks to him before thinking. "Actually, no."

"That is because these bodies are more sensitive." Blitz says.

Fleetfoot nods as she kept thinking. "Maybe, yeah."

"So when we make love, what will it feel like?" Blitz asks.

Fleetfoot hums. "I would think it would be hotter and paralyzing if past experiences has taught me anything."

"Right now, time to get undressed love." Blitz says setting her on the bed.

Fleetfoot looks to her clothes as Blitz starts to take off his. "Why am I wearing clothes that are made for gym?"

"I would think because it fits your personality." Twilight says now in her underwear.

Fleetfoot starts to work on her shirt and fails. "How do you work these things?"

"Here, let me help." Twilight says with a pervy grin.

Blitz chuckles as he watches Twilight grabs Fleetfoot shirt before lifting it up most of the way. "Like what you see Blitzy?" Twilight asks with a grin.

"She wears a white sports bra, want to guess her panty color miss all purple?" Blitz asks.

Twilight wiggles her butt to him. "And yet you like it. But I say white too." She said pulling the shirt away. "Come on, let's see those panties."

Blitz moves onto the bed behind Fleetfoot as Twilight removes her shoes, socks and then her shorts.

"Huh, blue?" Twilight asks seeing the plain blue panties.

"Huh? Even Rainbow had a bow on hers." Blitz says grabbing and holding Fleetfoot from behind.

Fleetfoot blushes heavily. "Um…Blitz…eep." She squeaked as Blitz licks her neck.

"You get the neck, I'll take her nipples." Twilight says as she reaches around and unhooks Fleetfoot's sports bra, exposing her breasts before throwing the bra away.

Fleetfoot blushes even more as Blitz started to kiss her neck and suck on it. "Um…guys…?" She tries to ask before Twilight grabs one of her breasts and squeezes a bit hard before biting down on the nipple and starts to suck. While using the other hand to squeeze her other nipple.

Blitz chuckles as he moves his hand along her body and keeps kissing her neck. "So what do you want for tonight?" He whispered.

Fleetfoot gulps as she tries to look at him. "Um…well…how about being held?"

"I want you to shoot for making Fleetfoot like the rest of the mares on her team that are with us. Which reminds me." Twilight says as her hand glowed with magic before touching Fleetfoot's stomach.

"Oh, you want me to make her pregnant huh?" Blitz says as Twilight goes back to sucking Fleetfoot's nipple.

Twilight hums as she squeezed her other breast.

"If you moan Fleetfoot, you agree to it." Blitz says.

Fleetfoot goes wide eyed at that and tries to hold her moans back. Twilight hearing that smirked and redoubled her efforts on playing with Fleetfoot's breasts. Fleetfoot gulps and keeps trying to hold it in. Twilight smirks before twisting the nipple she wasn't sucking on slowly. The sensation was maddening to Fleetfoot. Blitz chuckles as he turns her head to him before kissing her hard and finally makes her moan in his mouth.

"You moaned. Twi, time to remove the last articles of both of your clothes." Blitz says after ending the kiss.

Twilight smiles and starts to remove Fleetfoot's panties before moving onto hers. "So what are you going to do?"

"I'm thinking you first and Fleetfoot watches then I do her all night since you are practically falling asleep." Blitz says.

Twilight nods sleepily. "Yeah, if I go to sleep while we do it, sorry."

"It's ok, my tired mare." Blitz says kicking his underwear off before Twilight lays down in front of him.

Fleetfoot was left shaking a bit as she kept watching them. "Um…"

"You will get your turn soon Fleet." Blitz says as he enters Twilight.

Fleetfoot blushes. "Oh boy."

"Ok, good night Twi." Blitz says before kissing her forehead and getting up. "Now we go to the other bed and play." Blitz says picking Fleetfoot up bridal style.

Fleetfoot looks back to Twilight who was sleeping soundly. "Can't believe she stayed up the whole time."

"Well it was one round, but you don't get just one." Blitz says setting her down on the other bed.

Fleetfoot pushes her finger together. "So what are we going to do?"

"Oh, you will see, but first I will take your rear." Blitz says flipping her onto her stomach before getting on.

Fleetfoot tries to look back at him. "Blitz, can I make a request?"

"Ok, what is it?" Blitz asks grabbing her hips.

Fleetfoot gulps. "Just love me forever."

"Done." Blitz says before entering her.

"Morning Fleet." Blitz says before kissing her lightly.

Fleetfoot moans as she turns around. "Just be quiet."

"You're showing your rear to me again. Does that mean you want a second round with that or round seven the other way?" Blitz asks.

Fleetfoot tries to find his hand and he grabs it for her. "Don't, I'm too tired."

"Ok love, but you know Twilight was also looking forward to playing with you some last night. So when she wakes up she might use that command Fluttershy used on you." Blitz warns.

Fleetfoot suddenly sits up before the door to their room opens. "Cricket." Twilight said smirking. Fleetfoot moans before sitting up slowly on her bed and sits on the side before standing up and just stands there. "Blitz, you need anything?" Twilight asks walking over to him.

"I just want to watch you two's lesbian fun for now and maybe I will join in." Blitz says.

Twilight rolls her eyes before pulling him up. "Come on, let's have fun in the bathroom. We need to clean up, especially you."

"Oh, but down there you feel a little frisky yourself?" Blitz asks as Twilight suddenly had the overwhelming desire to go to the nearest mare. 'I wonder how long until you realize Fleetfoot isn't the only one with a few keywords installed by Fluttershy?' Blitz thinks.

Twilight shakes her head and moves over to Fleetfoot. "Time to clean up and it will one way or another, got it?" She asks leading her to the bathroom.

"Flutterbug." Blitz whispers and the next thing Twilight knew she was kissing Fleetfoot passionately.

Blitz chuckles as he starts leading them to the bathroom. "Oh boy. This might be fun. Now really get down on each other." He said massaging them. Blitz leads them to the shower where he sat them on his lap as he turned on the water.

Twilight moans as she breaks the kiss and looks at him and tries to shake her head. "Bli…"

Twilight's eyes dimmed a bit as she started playing with Fleetfoot more. 'Seems she tried resisting too much and the secondary command Fluttershy put into her kicked in.' Blitz thinks.

Twilight gasps a little as she looks over Fleetfoot's shoulder and looks at him. "Master, please take me from behind while I play with her." Twilight requests.

Fleetfoot moans as she looks at him over Twilight's shoulder. "Master, please do the same."

"How about I take you two like how I did Daring and Fluttershy?" Blitz asks.

They both moan and lay down on the shower floor and on top of each other. "Take us." They both said.

"Good girls." Blitz says starting.

"My head." Twilight said rubbing her head. "What the heck happened?"

"You still tired love?" Blitz asks lathering up her mane.

Twilight nods. "A bit, but that's morning wake up."

"And you Fleet?" Blitz asks as she washed her mane free of the shampoo.

Fleetfoot tries to move her legs and winces. "Um…sore and extra sore for some reason."

"How many times did you take her last night?" Twilight asks.

"Once from behind and six from the front." Blitz says.

Fleetfoot groans as she still tries to move. "I need a lot of muscle relaxant."

"Twi?" Blitz asks before Twilight started to cast a low level healing spell.

Fleetfoot sighs in relief as she starts to move her legs more. "Thanks. Now how about you change us back to ponies?"

"First, we gotta get back into our clothes as I don't want to try it without." Twilight says.

Fleetfoot sighs and sits up finally as Blitz washes the last shampoo off. "Alright, I'll go dry off." She said stepping out of the shower. Blitz smirks before playfully smacking her rear. "Eep!" She yelps as she covers her rear. "Blitz!"

"What is that? Somepony wants to be rutted as soon as we change back?" Twilight asks jokingly.

Fleetfoot growls. "Shut up." She said hurrying up and grabbing her towel before heading out.

"That wasn't a no." Blitz whispers into Twilight's ear.

Twilight giggles. "Yeah, it wasn't. Still just the heck happen to me? I remember dealing with Fleetfoot in the bedroom before I ended up on the floor of the shower."

"You nodded off hun. You need to stop overworking yourself." Blitz says.

Twilight smiles. "I can't help it if I work on almost everything. I want to make sure I learn everything and pass it onto Arcane and the others."

"You can't do that if you are bedridden." Blitz says petting her.

Twilight sighs in relief as she leans into the petting. "I can try. Many others have done it while they were bedridden."

"True, but not my Twilight. I want Arcane and any other foals to play with you all the time and not visit you at your bedside." Blitz says.

Twilight smiles. "Yeah, that's a good reason. Now shall we clean up?" She said standing up with him.

"All that is left is two very sensitive areas." Blitz says with the soap.

Twilight smirks. "Yeah, but there is one spot left for you." She said poking his chest before bringing it downward.

"Too bad, I'm way ahead." Blitz says as he twisted her nipple making her become like putty in his arms.

Twilight moans happily as she leans back into him. "Think you can keep going?"

"Love, I know so." Blitz says starting to lather up her breasts.

Twilight moans. "Just don't forget us."

Blitz smiles and kisses her cheek. "Never."

'Tonight is my last chance to take control of Ahsoka.' Twilight thinks as Blitz works on her.

Blitz sighs. "Twi, how about you just relax and enjoy some time with the foals? I'll take care of most of the politics and all that crap. Since someone decided to make things harder." He said looking to the ceiling and she decided it was to space.

"Ok, it will help me have time to finish a project of mine anyways." Twilight says.

Blitz raises an eyebrow and smiles. "Oh, what is it?"

"Nuh uh, that is a surprise." Twilight says.

Blitz gives a hurt look. "Aw, come on. You can tell me."

"Nope, but I will tell you the spell I used on Fleetfoot last night that greatly boosted her fertility for the night." Twilight says.

Blitz shakes his head. "Keep it. It's best to let it out once they ask for it if our normal methods aren't working that much or fast enough."

"Oh no, it just increases chances for pregnancy for the mares. Next is Fluttershy. Time to give her a foal as well." Twilight says stuttering as he started cleaning low.

Blitz smiles. "Yeah, I don't need to place some collars on you, do I?"

"Save that for Fluttershy and she asked for it. She is impatient now." Twilight says.

Blitz sighs. "Yeah, I have been at her multiple times and she still hasn't got pregnant, lovingly or her way."

"Well time to change it." Twilight says.

Blitz nods his head to the door. "Want to head out?" He said cleaning off the rest of them in the shower.

"Yeah. Fleetfoot must be having trouble by now and wants you to rut her remember?" Twilight asks.

Blitz chuckles as he turns off the shower and leads her out. "Please, she probably has something to do now."

"Nope, queen's orders." Twilight says impishly.

Blitz smacks her rear and quickly grabs a towel and runs out. "King's life."

"But this is a queendom." Twilight counter's using the opportunity to feel his rear.

Blitz grabs her hand and holds her close and wraps the towel around them. "But I am not one of your changelings. I am your mate, king, lover and husband. I don't have to follow like the changelings."

"Maybe not, but who will take care of Fleetfoot if not you?" Twilight asks as they exit.

Blitz looks to Fleetfoot taking some plate of food from a changeling. "I think the other girls would oblige happily. You up to asking them?" Blitz asks cleaning them off.

Twilight was already getting changed before moving on to Fleetfoot, feeling her up all the way through. "Once we are ponies again, it is time to get rutted as I am unsure if we can get pregnant doing it in these forms." Twilight whispers.

Fleetfoot nods as she tries to eat. "Yeah, do these guys know about this whole thing?" She asks her while pointing to the changelings cleaning everything up.

"Yes, remember, hive mind." Twilight says casting the spell after Blitz was dressed.

Blitz sighs as he stretches himself out. "Okay, I got to check on things and then…" Blitz was interrupted when Fleetfoot tackled him onto a bed. Blitz chuckles as he looks up at her. "Fully clothed and with others in the room? Naughty mare." He said feeling her up.

Fleetfoot smiles as she looks down at him. "So have you been refilled?"

"Gotcha. Twi, go on ahead." Blitz says.

Twilight smiles as she heads out. "Don't cause too much of a ruckus." She said as the changelings follow her out.

Blitz waves at her as he still stares at Fleetfoot. "You got it." He said before the door closed and he flipped her over. "Now we can have some fun."

Fleetfoot smiles and wiggles her flank. "Oh yeah, can't wait."

"So, this place is mostly a female dominated society?" Anakin asks as they sat at the dining table.

Ahsoka nods as she pets Azure. "Yep, don't know the reason why the ratio is like that, but they treat almost everyone here nicely. They don't have extra benefits for females and almost none for males. The rulers made sure of that. The other countries are actually a better ratio than this country."

Obi Wan nods. "And they have princesses, no queens or even kings?"

Ahsoka shakes her head. "No, not kings. Well not yet as there a male alicorn in which the alicorns, who have wings and horns, are considered high standard. But as for queens, the only queen is for those of a bug species called changelings, like a hive. There are three current princesses ruling the nation with the fourth living here. You may know her as Twilight Sparkle. She isn't official in ruling the nation or part of it yet, but she's on her way. I'm thinking they choose princesses so it seems like no one is higher than the other. Right little Azure?"

Azure giggles. "Yay."

Ahsoka giggles and keeps petting him. "The foals are so cute." They both just stare at her as Arcane gets dropped off at the table by the guards and he coos at the food before going to it and starting to eat. "Now Arcane, remember what mommy said." Ahsoka said smiling. Arcane spits out his food and whines as he goes to a chair and sits down. "Good boy." Ahsoka said ruffling his mane, making him laugh a little.

Obi Wan leans over to Anakin. "Is it me or is she treating them like her own children?"

"All females have maternal instincts master. I thought your girlfriend taught you that." Anakin says.

Obi Wan just stares at him. "That's private."

"Okay, now does anypony need anything? Breakfast, some guides, may be an official tour?" Twilight asks walking in.

"I think Arcane wants a hug from his mom." Ahsoka says.

Twilight smiles and walks over to Arcane and he turns to her. "Mommy." He said holding out his hooves for her. Twilight smiles before booping his stomach and then picks him up. Arcane giggles and nuzzles her. "Mommy."

Twilight giggles and nuzzles him back. "My little hatchling."

"So what is Blitzkrieg going to join us?" Obi-Wan asks.

Twilight smiles as she kept nuzzling Arcane. "In a bit. He's busy at the moment."

"Not anymore." Blitz said walking past her and gives a little nuzzle to her and Arcane before sitting across from the two knights. "So, what are your plans for today?"

Anakin sighs. "Well…how about getting to know the place more?"

"Some areas will be off limits because of military. I hope you understand." Blitz says.

Obi Wan shrugs. "We get that almost all the time."

"You still haven't let me see your hypervelocity gun." Ahsoka says.

Blitz waves at her. "Classified for now."

"Wait, a Hypervelocity gun!?" Anakin says shocked.

Blitz raises an eyebrow. "Yes, we needed to protect the planet during the last invasion somehow."

"And now there is one in every continent or at least under construction along with a shield generator." Twilight says.

"Somepony has been reading my reports again." Blitz says in a sing song voice.

Twilight sticks her tongue out at him. "I have to since that whole train fiasco."

"Which I wasn't involved in and that was Celestia." Blitz says.

Twilight rolls her eyes. "You did promise me though."

"Never said you couldn't." Blitz says.

"So Fleet, you have quite the night?" Vinyl asks sipping some coffee.

Fleetfoot drools a bit into her food as she kept staring ahead.

"Seems she couldn't help herself and had another round upon waking." Spitfire says.

"Taking bets now." Pinkie says.

Fleetfoot finally grabs a spoon and starts eating. "Too good." She whispered.

"I bet she will shows signs of pregnancy soon." Spitfire says.

Fleetfoot soon gains a smile. "I love that stallion."

Fluttershy just sits in her chair, pushing her food side to side. Vinyl looks over to her. "You okay?" Fluttershy just lets out a sigh. Vinyl moves over to her. "Between vampires, what's up?" Vinyl asks and Fluttershy just touches Vinyl's stomach. Vinyl smiles and hugs her. "It'll be okay. You'll have one soon."

Fluttershy still looked down. "Take it from me. It is worth the wait." Shadow says.

Fluttershy sniffs and puts her head on Vinyl's shoulder.

Octavia, seeing this, gets up. "So where are you going?" E. Octavia asks.

"To see Blitz." Octavia says.

E. Octavia just looks back to Fluttershy as she just nuzzles her head into Vinyl's neck.

"I see." Blitz says as Octavia holds Azure.

Octavia sighs as she bounces Azure. "Yes. I think it's time to give her the best time of her life. E. Vinyl got a batch of herbs for fertility. Twilight got a spell and a potion from the changelings for it too. Use it all and I'm sure she will get a foal."

"I got it. Please go tell Twi for me. I'm going to see her." Blitz says getting up before ruffling Azure's mane and kissing Octavia.

Octavia smiles as he walks out. "Hey." Blitz smiles as he turns to her. "Rough her up."

Blitz snuck up as quietly as possible before wrapping his hooves around Fluttershy.

Fluttershy yells out and tries to escape. "Let me go. If you don't mind." She quickly added the last part quietly.

"Nuh uh my love." Blitz says.

Fluttershy looks back and sees him. "Blitz?"

"I heard you were feeling down." Blitz says continuing to hold her.

Fluttershy sighs as she stares at her food again. "Yeah. But I'm fine."

"Oh Flutters. Come on you." Blitz says pulling her away.

Fluttershy eeps. "Wait. I haven't eaten."

A week had passed and Fluttershy was going about her business when she had her magical pregnancy test. "Let see." She says not too enthusiastic. "Oh it's positive." She says putting it down sadly. She then looks back at it and becomes wide eyed. "Yes! It's positive!" She yelled out loud that the windows shakes while grabbing Angel and dancing around with him.

Blitz sips away at his coffee as he looks to the papers on the Equestrian military and economy. "Huh, almost there." Blitz sighs and looks to the door as he heard some running hoofsteps and goes for his blaster.

"Ok, the clans' holocommunicator meeting will start soon. Knowing clan Rodarch and Tenau, they will bring up the CIS attacked the ships they sent for a naval exercises." Blitz says.

Fluttershy suddenly burst open the door and makes it slam against a changeling guard standing behind it. "I'm pregnant!"

"Really?" Blitz asks putting down his coffee before opening up his hooves. "Come here Flutters." Blitz says.

Fluttershy laughs and flies and jumps into his hooves. "I love you!"

"So I see it worked and you ok back there behind the door?" Blitz asks.

The changeling guard groans as he pushes the door away. "Just fine." He said before falling into the ground. "Ow."

"Flutters, you must be careful, you hurt that guard." Blitz says booping her stomach.

Fluttershy hides her mane. "Oh, I'm sorry."

Blitz raises an eyebrow and looks to the guard still on the ground before looking back at her. "Huh, you know what?" He said stroking her cheek.

"What?" Fluttershy asks.

"Take him to the medical wing. I got a meeting with the clans." Blitz says donning his mandalorian helmet.

Fluttershy nods. "Sure."

Blitz holds up a hoof. "One more." Fluttershy leans in before she feels her collar pulled to him. "Don't ever doubt yourself and feel down, because I will be there to get you back up. Got it?" He asks pulling her collar harder.

Fluttershy nods vigorously. "Yes master."

Blitz smiles and lets her go. "Good. Now why don't you tell the others? They would want to hear it too. Especially Fleetfoot." Blitz says before petting her mane.

Fluttershy smiles lifting his helmet before she kisses his cheek. "Sure." She said getting off of him. "Bye Blitz." She said walking away.

"See you soon." Blitz says.

Fluttershy waves at him and picks up the guard and takes him away. "Bye Blitz. Thanks for the foal."

Blitz breathes in deeply as he puts back on his helmet as the door closes. "Tell them I'm coming. Need to deal with a few things." He said to the guard as he goes behind his desk and deals with a few things. The communicator soon starts to go off and Blitz activates it and sees many mandalorians talking. "Um…hello?"

One Mandalorian turns to him. "Hi Cross. You here to yell about the attack too?"

"No I am not." Blitz says pretty sure he was getting strange looks from the other chief. "I don't think nothing else needs to be said. The CIS has been borderline harassing us for a while now and now they have attacked. I think there is only one proper response to this." Blitz says before facing Mandalore.

Mandalore sighs. "War it is. Still, you know what that entails."

"We have to put aside any grudges or animosity towards the jedi." Blitz says.

Mandalore sighs as he puts a hand over his face. "The young would agree, the old wouldn't. You got a plan?"

"I think this is the excuse we have been looking for to announce a mandalorian crusade." Blitz says after switching over to a private conversation for a moment.

Mandalore raises an eyebrow under his helmet. "I hope you know what you are doing Cross."

"I do." Blitz says.

Mandalore sighs as he leans back. "Alright. I'll send out the word. But you better be ready to back things up."

"I am." Blitz says switching them back to the rest of the chiefs not noticing.

"So what do we do now?" A chief asks.

"We launch the first crusade since the great war against the war Revan fought in." Mandalore says.

The chiefs all started to talk to one another at the prospect of another war. "And the alliance and other groups?"

"We will take care of it. Spread the word to the other clans not associated with us, even to my displeasure, deathwatch." Mandalore says.

Blitz growls a bit. "Let's hope they hate the CIS as much as us and the jedi enough to stay on our side."

"They have sworn vengeance on Count Dooku after what happened." Another says.

Blitz hisses. "Yeah. That would do it."

"Meeting adjourned." Mandalore says.

Blitz ends the call and heads to the dining room. "Alright. Who's doing what?" The first thing he laid his eyes on was Azure was rolling around with Celestia. "Aww. That's cute. And where's little Luna?" Luna coos at him as she landed on his head and knocks on his helmet. "Hi little Lulu. You playing with the others?"

Before she could coo again she was playfully tackled by Spectrum. Blitz chuckles as the door opens. "We're here." Terra calls as she puts Arcane down. "What did we miss?" Blitz points to most of the foals wrestling with Celestia and Luna.

Terra giggles and pushes Arcane. "Go get them Arcane." She said before he rushes off and pounces on the pile. "Such a cute foal. I can't wait until he's like little Lulu and Celly." Terra said floating over to Blitz.

"You stole him from Twilight again didn't you?" Blitz asks.

Terra giggles as she leans in. "I have to spend time with him."

"She's going to try and blast you again." Blitz says.

Terra hums. "Let her. I am the planet itself. You can't get rid of me. Not even leaving it since I know about him."

"She might try and fire the silencer at you." Blitz says.

Terra waves him off. "Oh please. I'm sort of her…auntie…sister?"

"Niece-in-law." Blitz whispers.

Terra shrugs. "Oh well. Beside, soon I will be more."

"That thing can destroy a planet on overload you know." Blitz says.

Terra rolls her eyes. "Look. I want to be part of the family here. Let me enjoy life."

"Just ease in so Twi doesn't send my ship kamikaze into the planet, ok?" Blitz asks.

Terra giggles and hugs him. "Okay daddy."

"Oh there you are Arcane." Twilight says walking in with a scary smile.

Arcane giggles. "Mommy!"

"Sweetie." Twilight says grabbing him as he jumps into her waiting hooves, her mood doing a complete 180.

Terra sighs in relief. "Thank goodness that's over."

"See, she can scare you if you anger her enough." Blitz says.

Terra smirks as she leans over. "That's because I'm in a sense, younger than her."

"So what have we learnt?" Blitz asks.

Terra smiles. "Don't piss off my auntie."

"Correct." Blitz says as a piece of pumpkin pie floated in front of her.

Terra gasps and takes it before nibbling it. "Thanks daddy." She said muffled by the pumpkin pie.

Blitz shakes his head as he noticed Fluttershy was dancing with Fleetfoot. "How's my mares?" He asks as he walks over to them.

Fluttershy smiles as he walks up to her and looks at the dog tag on her collar. "Remember that night?"

"I do Ms. Expecting." Blitz says.

Fluttershy blushes and hugs him. "Thank you Blitz."

"Hey, where is my hug?" Fleetfoot whined playfully.

Blitz chuckles and brings her in too. "Love you girls. You're my life here and the others…and the foals."

"Hey dad?" Blazer calls from atop the pile of wrestling foals.

"Yes?" Blitz asks.

Blazer tries to get off the pile and tumbles down until he reached the bottom. "Ouch. When can I go out?"

"Just ask Jackie." Blitz says.

Blazer groans. "She doesn't. Ever. Since those guys came over."

"Hey Rainbow?" Blitz calls.

Rainbow looks up from her cider mug. "Yeah?"

"You about ready to go on your morning jog with Spectrum and Blast?" Blitz asks.

Rainbow looks confused. "Yeah. Why?" She asks with suspicion.

"Take Blazer with you." Blitz says.

Rainbow stares at him. "Won't Applejack be mad?"

"Nah, will you Jackie?" Blitz asks.

Applejack comes up from behind him. "Kinda. A little."

"Then you can join them. Exercise is good for the foal and jogging is better than what Pinkie has you do every morning." Blitz says.

Applejack groans. "Fine. Just don't blame me if we get attacked."

"By what?" Blitz asks.

"Mom is a little paranoid right now. Last week she thought the mailbox was staring at her." Blazer whisper to him.

Blitz shrugs. "Must be the hormones. Okay, all of you, grab your breakfast and get going. You got a town to see."

"Sunshine, you ready to work out?" Pinkie asks walking in a gym outfit.

Blitz wolf whistles. "Hello hot stuff."

"No time for flirting right now Blitz." Pinkie says scooping up Sunshine.

Blitz smirks. "Long kiss?"

"Nope, already got it playing." Pinkie says rushing off.

Blitz rolls his eyes. "Oh Pinkie. Still the same mare I know and love. At least she doesn't have a knife."

"Azure." Vinyl calls.

Blitz chuckles. "And the next one of the starting gate is Azure and the music ponies." He playfully calls.

"Oh Blitzy, finish your business call already?" Octavia asks walking past him brushing his nose with her tail.

Blitz smirks as he pulls her back and hugs her. "Oh yeah. And I got a free day today before everything goes crazy. I wonder which one I should hang out with."

"You mean which ones to make pregnant." Twilight says.

Blitz chuckles. "No, which ones to spend time with."

"I got the stuff ready to go. I think me and the rest of the pregnant or have foal already mares can handle the foals while he ravages all who are not." Twilight says.

Blitz smirks. "Oh Twilight. Want little old me to breed all the ponies precious to you? Naughty mare."

"I told them all it is time. Even Fluttershy is now confirmed." Twilight says.

Blitz sighs. "Look. I want to enjoy the day with you all and that's not going to happen with me copped up in one room just having fun one at a time…or two."

"Sorry, not up for a debate we all took a vote on this one." Twilight says.

Blitz groans. "Fine. But I choose the fun for each of us."

"As long as you get them pregnant. I will be right back sweetie." Twilight says trotting to the room as Vinyl snores with the mouth wide open sleeping on the couch E. Vinyl was on as her rest on her stomach.

Blitz shrugs. "Alright. All mares who haven't been pregnant. Please follow me." He said walking away.

"Ah, what, are the waffles ready?" E. Vinyl asks her headphones still on her ears.

Blitz just pulls her along as every mare follows him and the others head out.

"Um…I'm not sure I am ready for th…" Dusk was cut off as Twilight dragged her along with magic.

Twilight giggles as she pushes Dusk into Blitz's room with everypony else as Blitz sat on the bed. "Alright, have fun girls. And remember, his time so try to do what he says, within reason." She said before shutting the door.

"Um…Twi, I think you're forgetting something." S. Vinyl calls.

Twilight creates a ball of magic and throws it into the room before she closes the door again and it explodes in a burst of light. "Done."

"Oh, now time for the non-magical ways." S. Vinyl says.

Twilight heard Blitz chuckle as some of the mares giggle. "Prepare a cleanup crew once done." She said to the guards as she walks off down to the guest rooms Fluttershy meeting up with her on the way.

Ahsoka was sitting on the bed of the room meditating as her masters had gone back to the ship to have a private talk with the rest of the council and Rex went to check on the proceedings on the ship. Soon a knock came to her door and she opens her eyes. "Come in."

Twilight enters alone. "Oh Twilight, you looking for Arcane?" Ahsoka asks.

Twilight shakes her head. "No, I came to see you."

"Is this about me teaching you husband how to use the force when my masters are not around?" Ahsoka asks.

Twilight smiles. "No, it's great you did that. I don't think I could have as I am still his unofficial teacher. This is for something else entirely."

"Oh?" Ahsoka asks.

Twilight nods. "Yes, but one question."

"Yes?" Ahsoka asks confused.

Twilight smiles. "How much do you like Blitz?"

"Huh!?" Ahsoka asks nearly falling off the bed.

Twilight still smiles. "I asked how much you like Blitz."

"I…I…I don't think that is appropriate. I am a jedi." Ahsoka says thankful her skin tone hid any blush, but her reaction was all the answer Twilight needed.

Twilight grins. "Great. Lock it down!" She yells to the guards outside.

Ahsoka goes wide eyed as the doors and windows magically seal. "Um…what's going on?"

Twilight looks coy at her. "Oh, just a little gift." She said lightning up her horn.

"Wait, what are you doi…" Ahsoka was cut off after being engulfed by the light.

Twilight sighs. "There, that should do it." When the light cleared there sat a ponified version of Ahsoka. "Huh, so that's the type of mane you have." Twilight said looking her over.

"What have you done to me?" Ahsoka asks looking at her forehooves.

Twilight smiles gently. "Changed you into a pony. Cute huh?"

"B…but I…" Ahsoka tried to speak when the door opened and Fluttershy walks in before the door sealed behind her.

"Ah good. Fluttershy, it is time to train somepony. She will make an excellent addition." Twilight says.

Ahsoka looks shocked. "Trained?!"

"Yes, you will need to be trained to please your master." Fluttershy says.

Ahsoka looks wide eyed at Twilight. "Don't worry, all of us went through it. Well, mostly us. Some of the stronger ones like Vinyl and Octavia didn't bend so well, but we got some. Besides, it's fun at times. Fluttershy." She said looking over to her.

Fluttershy smirks. "Flutterbug." Fluttershy said and Twilight immediately gains a blank look. "And now Twilight, hold her while I begin." Fluttershy commands.

Ahsoka then backs up before she hits the wall as Twilight stalks her and then grabs her. "Now Twilight, how good is being like this for our master?" Fluttershy asks walking up to them.

"Incredibly good." Twilight says in a monotone voice.

Ahsoka just stares at them. "Why do you make his wives like this?"

"We chose this as the best way to please him and soon you will too." Fluttershy says as Ahsoka locked eyes with her and Ahsoka couldn't turn away.

Twilight laughs one tone at a time. "Join us."

Ahsoka gulps as she kept staring at Fluttershy as she smirks at her with her changing red eyes and she started to change features. "Wha…?"

Fluttershy giggles as she walks over to her. "What are you?"

Ahsoka gulps. "I'm…a je…"

Fluttershy puts her hooves beside her head. "What are you?" She asks trying harder.

Ahsoka just keeps staring at her as some red tint starts to come to her eyes. "I'm…a je…a…master's pet." She said gaining red eyes fully.

Fluttershy grins. "Good." She said before trying even harder and adding a third layer to her before backing off. "Let her go." She said to Twilight who lets Ahsoka fall to the ground. "What do you think Twilight, should we start with the milker or bounding her up?" Fluttershy asks.

Twilight smiles creepily to her. "How about bounding her up? I'm sure master would love what we hate in our normal selves."

"This is just training though. We have to teach her to love this." Fluttershy says.

Ahsoka groans as she gets up a bit. "Ma…master?"

"You are not ready for master yet pet. First you need to be trained." Fluttershy says getting some ropes out.

Twilight acts all giddy as she laughs and bounces around. "Oh, can I tie her up this time mistress?"

"Oh, why not?" Fluttershy says giving her the rope.

Twilight laughs as she grabs the rope and moves onto Ahsoka.

Ahsoka groans as she shakes her head. "Twi…li…"

"Oh, she is a fighter. Will she overcome this like Rainbow did?" Fluttershy asks.

Twilight giggles as she kept tying her up. "I don't think so. Not after we're through." She said licking her lips.

"We shall see." Fluttershy says getting a vibrator out.

Ahsoka groans as she tries to look around before seeing Fluttershy approach as Twilight kept tying her up more, paying extra attention to Ahsoka's breasts and then she squealed. "Take it out! Take it out!"

"Oh seems she doesn't like it in the flank yet." Fluttershy says.

Twilight gasps. "What can we do mistress? None of the others ever had this problem."

"Don't worry, she will break soon enough and will just find pleasure in it." Fluttershy says.

Twilight happily claps her hooves. "Yay mistress. You always know what to do."

"Now on to stimulating her breasts." Fluttershy instructed.

Twilight smiles and goes to a chest and Ahsoka looks to her. "Why me?"

"It is simple. Our husband Blitzy has feelings for you and the foals could always use a new mother." Fluttershy says as Twilight brought out a milking unit.

Ahsoka groans as she puts her head down on the floor again. "But why me?"

"Because you also love him even if you won't admit it. If we were just going for pure breeding. Twilight would have combined the spell she used on you with a gender bending one and used it on your masters." Fluttershy says.

Ahsoka groans and tries to look at her. "No. Don't tell them."

"Oh, don't worry, we aren't going to do that. Besides, if we did do that to them and train them like we are to you, then their minds would completely break and we would make a new one for both." Fluttershy says.

Ahsoka sighs as she just stares at the ground now. "Just…don't have him lose the old me."

"You are starting to like it." Fluttershy says in a hypnotic tone. "The vibrations and the feeling is turning you on." Fluttershy says looking into her eyes again.

Ahsoka sighs and looks to her. "No it's not. Eep!" She squeaked as Twilight keep setting things up.

"The vibrations are shaking you to your core. The feeling is incredible." Fluttershy says in the same hypnotic tone as Twilight hooks each nipple of Ahsoka's up.

Ahsoka shakes her head. "No, it's not."

"You want to kiss something." Fluttershy says changing tactics.

Ahsoka groans. "No I…I…"

Twilight kisses Ahsoka full on the lips shocking her. "The soft feeling of a mare's lips. It feels and tastes so good." Fluttershy says.

Ahsoka groans and shakes her head. "No it's not."

"You want another one." Fluttershy says starting the milker up.

Ahsoka goes wide eyed as she feels the machine works its course. "No…I…don't."

"It's driving you mad. The kiss of a fellow mare. The way their flanks move as they walk." Fluttershy says as Twilight started to walk away sashaying her hips the entire time.

Ahsoka looks to Twilight as she walks away. "Flutterbug." Fluttershy said as Twilight walks out the door.

"It drives you completely mad as you find it so sexy, like how you are feeling like you are being shaken to the core." Fluttershy continues.

Ahsoka groans as she looks to her with glazed over eyes. "Feeling?"

"It is incredible to you. You want a mare to play with you. You love the mere idea of it so much. The hooves of a mare running down your coat or pulling your tail for fun." Fluttershy says.

Ahsoka tries to blink. "I…like…the…no." She suddenly shakes her head.

"Oh, that was close. You about fell under my control Flutterbug. Now Twilight is returning." Fluttershy says as Twilight came back in from the other room with a strap on.

Ahsoka tries to crawl away now. "No, don't."

"You want a mare to play with you to make you feel incredible." Fluttershy says slipping in another vibrator on, this time it was to her most sensitive part.

Ahsoka groans as she looks to them having her lie on her side and lifting her leg up. "But…master…"

"You take solace in the undeniable truth that any pleasure you get from a mare, Master will match and exceed it Flutterbug." Fluttershy says.

Ahsoka gains her glazed over eyes again. "Flutter…"

Fluttershy smiles before kissing her, putting her tongue into her mouth. Twilight smiles as she grabs Ahsoka's tail and pulls it. Fluttershy smiles, breaking the kiss and removing the vibrators as Twilight turned off the milker. "Not just yet, don't want to break you too soon." Fluttershy says.

Ahsoka soon smiles drunkenly. "Good…mistress…"

"Good. Now Twilight, help me secure her to the ceiling. Somepony has been bad and needs a spanking." Fluttershy says.

Twilight smiles. "Yes mistress." She said getting up and grabbing some rope.

"How are you feeling Ahsoka?" Fluttershy asks as Ahsoka was now suspended by her hooves off the floor.

"I…w…won't…submit." Ahsoka struggles.

"Oh, too bad." Fluttershy says before smacking her flank once with a paddle.

Ahsoka yelps as she started to swing a little. "I won't."

"You like being paddled, don't you?" Fluttershy asks.

Ahsoka looks back to her and glares. "No I don't." She growls.

"It sends your senses down here on fire." Fluttershy continues before smacking the other cheek of her flank.

Ahsoka groans. "You…bitch."

"You love the sensation, especially when somepony grabs where you were just paddled." Fluttershy says smacking her right cheek of her flank again.

Ahsoka huffs as she keeps trying to get swing away. "Shut…shut up."

"This has turned you on." Fluttershy says smacking the left cheek again.

Ahsoka shakes her head. "No it doesn't." She said trying to move her hoof.

"You want it so much. To the point where you will beg for it once your master or one of your sisters starts doing this to you." Fluttershy says not smacking her this time, but focuses on the hypnosis.

Ahsoka grits her teeth as she tries to keep moving her hoof that was being hanged. 'Dang it Blitz. What kind of mares do you have? Wait, he used it when he was still a pony.'

"You want the pleasure of a spanking. Beg me for it Flutterbug." Fluttershy says stroking her face.

'Ok, I just need to foc…I…I…'

"Flutterbug, you know you want it so bad." Twilight says.

Ahsoka tries to shake her head. 'Flutterbug…no…dang it…' She thinks as she looks to the drawer where the lightsabers was stored.

"What is more, you look forward to when master holds you on his lap and spanks you for being naughty Flutterbug." Fluttershy says rubbing Ahsoka's flank.

Ahsoka gulps. 'Would Blitz…no…he wouldn't…' She thought before hearing some banging nearby.

"Holding you in his hooves as he smacks your flank a few times. You love every moment of it Flutterbug. It completely turns you on." Twilight whispers into her ear, driving her senses crazy.

Ahsoka groans as she tries to look to the drawer and see it slowly open. 'Almost, got it.'

"Oh, you are such an adorable little Flutterbug." Twilight says smiling before kissing Ahsoka completely, breaking her concentration and Fluttershy smacks her again with the paddle.

Ahsoka groans as she tries to hold it in. "Damn you."

"Say it Flutterbug." Fluttershy says before Twilight kisses her again and she smacks her flank with the paddle.

Ahsoka gulps and looks to them as she sees the drawer opened out of the corner of her eye. "I…like…to…say…"

"Your lightsabers is gone?" Twilight asks.

Ahsoka stops as she looks to the drawer and sees it empty. "Shoot." She said dropping her act.

"Oh adorable little Flutterbug, what did you think I was up to when mistress was working on you without me and I walked out?" Twilight asks before kissing her again and this time using her magic to twist Ahsoka's nipples slightly, sending a wave of pleasure through her and Fluttershy spanking her at the exact moment.

"It brings you so much pleasure." Fluttershy says rubbing her now sore flank.

Ahsoka sighs as she looks to them. "Just…don't make it bad for Blitz. I don't want to hurt him." She said frowning.

"Oh Flutterbug is so thoughtful of master." Fluttershy says looking her in the eyes again and they slowly start to glaze over a bit. "Now say it. I like spankings, but only from my master, mistress, or sisters." Fluttershy says.

Ahsoka groans as she keeps looking at them with glazing eyes. "I like spankings, but only from my master."

"And Flutterbug?" Fluttershy asks petting her flank.

"And…my mistress and sisters." Ahsoka finally said as she started to drool.

"Good girl." Fluttershy says stopping and her red eyes start coming back to life.

Ahsoka shakes her head and looks to them. "Um…girls? Why am I tied up?"

"Why for one, spanking. Now pick who gets to spank the naughty mare." Fluttershy says.

Ahsoka looks around before shaking her head a bit. "Um…mas…ster."

"He is not here right now sweetie. You will have to choose which one of us right here." Fluttershy says.

Ahsoka looks between the two. "Um…her." She said looking to Twilight.

"Here you go pet." Fluttershy says hoofing the paddle.

Twilight giggles as she moves behind Ahsoka and strokes her flank, making her shiver a bit. "Hurry up." Ahsoka pleaded as she shakes her flank.

Twilight grins before bringing the paddle back far before smacking her hard and makes Ahsoka yell out. "You asked."

"Ok, now pet, let her down. It is now time for the next step." Fluttershy says.

Ahsoka groans as she looks to her as Twilight unhooks her. "Next step?"

"Pet." Fluttershy says before Twilight restrains her.

"You want to suck you sister's breasts." Fluttershy says.

Ahsoka starts to stare at her as she slowly gains a glare. "No…I will…"

"Flutterbug." Fluttershy said.

"Suck." Ahsoka drools.

"Not only suck, you want to nibble the breast of your sister." Fluttershy says.

Ahsoka drools as she finally goes limp with Twilight happily restraining her harder. "Nibble."

"You want to tease her while you suck, making her moan." Fluttershy says as Twilight loosens her grip. "But not hard, enough to hurt." Fluttershy says.

Ahsoka moans as she turns around to Twilight. "Sisters."

Twilight smiles as she looks to Fluttershy. "Mistress, can I have some fun?"

"Not just yet pet, we are not done training her." Fluttershy says.

Twilight smiles. "Can we try training her for your style of fun?"

"We will soon enough." Fluttershy says.

Ahsoka giggles drunkenly. "Style?"

"Don't talk, choose a nipple and tease it while sucking." Fluttershy says.

Ahsoka looks between the six of them. "Which one?"

Fluttershy pets her head. "Choose one, it doesn't matter which."

Ahsoka nods and moves to one of them and starts sucking on it while nibbling it a little, causing Twilight to moan in pleasure.

Fluttershy sighs as she looks at her. "Aw, Blitz will love you just enough for you to stay, forever. Now come over here."

Ahsoka sighs happily as she moves to Fluttershy and start nibbling on hers. "Sisters."

"No, no, silly Flutterbug. Sit beside me." Fluttershy says.

Ahsoka smiles happily as she moves over to her and sits down.

"Now snap out of the trance." Fluttershy says clapping her hooves in front of her.

Ahsoka groans as she looks around. "What the heck?"

"Ahsoka, did you nod off while we were talking?" Twilight asks.

Ahsoka looks to her. "I don't know. What time is it?"

"It doesn't matter. Now Twilight, as you were saying." Fluttershy says.

"You see, Arcane isn't nursing from my breasts as much as he used to and they are starting to leak a bit." Twilight says.

Ahsoka smiles. "What do you want me to do?" She asks happily.

"You mind helping me out by sucking out some of the excess?" Twilight asks.

Ahsoka nods. "Sure, do you want to do it on the bed?"

"No, here on the floor, is easier to clean." Twilight says as Fluttershy smirks.

Ahsoka moves over to her and latches onto a nipple and starts drinking happily. "Why would he hate this?"

"I think he is getting a little too old for nursing and wants solidish foods." Twilight says.

Ahsoka nods as she kept drinking. "So good."

After she was finished, Fluttershy spoke up. "Alright now, for the next step." Fluttershy says.

Ahsoka looks back at her. "Next step?"

Fluttershy smirks moving in closer. "We need to practice your kissing Flutterbug." Fluttershy says.

Ahsoka frowns. "I don't kiss girls. I don't even kiss anybody."

"Oh, but you do Flutterbug." Fluttershy says.

Ahsoka shakes her head as her eyes started to glaze over. "Flutterb…"

"We kiss each other to practice for master. You love kissing the other mares in practice." Fluttershy says.

Ahsoka groans. "Kissing…mares?"

"Oh yes. You like each individual flavor we have." Fluttershy says.

Ahsoka starts to drool. "Flavor."

"Yes. Now kiss your sister there." Fluttershy says.

Ahsoka quickly jumps up to Twilight and kisses her as she brings her to the ground.

"You also like to feel another mare up." Fluttershy says as Twilight flipped them to dominate the kiss.

Ahsoka smiles into the kiss as she moves her hooves on Twilight's sides.

"You adore a nice firm flank." Fluttershy whispers into her ear.

Ahsoka moans as she moves her hooves to Twilight's flank and starts to stroke it.

"You also adore being felt up yourself and love having your breasts sucked like you like to suck other mares." Fluttershy says.

Ahsoka breaks the kiss as Twilight feels her up as she sucks on her breasts. "I love…it."

"What flavor is Twilight?" Fluttershy asks.

Ahsoka smiles to her. "Lavender."

"And mine?" Fluttershy asks kissing her.

Ahsoka breaks the kiss. "Butter cream."

"Good girl." Fluttershy says before they all assume the positions they once had sitting and Fluttershy breaking the trance.

Ahsoka groans. "Okay, I feel weird."

"How do you mean, we were just practicing kissing for Blitzy." Twilight says.

Ahsoka blushes as she looks away. "Oh yeah."

Fluttershy smiles. "How have been hit on the battlefield badly?"

Ahsoka thinks on it. "Um…the worst I had was a laser shot on my back. I was trying to save someone from falling to their death. I never saved them though. I did heal up though for the next mission though master did keep me back for that. Found another way and saved him, not shot that time."

Twilight smiles. "Can we have fun with the last bit?"

Fluttershy nods. "Okay time for the last bit of training before you receive your official collar."

Ahsoka huffs. "I never wear a collar."

Fluttershy giggles. "Oh Flutterbug." She said making Ahsoka's eyes glazed over again. "Time for the final test and once you pass this, you graduate and get your collar as proof and get to be with our master. Pet, do you have it?"

Twilight smiles as she takes it from her behind her. "Yep, right here." She said putting it on. "Can I say stuff to her mistress?"

"Onto the bed Flutterbug." Fluttershy says.

Ahsoka smiles as she goes to the bed and gets on and looks back over her shoulder as Twilight goes to her as she smirks. "Can I please say something mistress?" She asks mounting her.

"A few things, but not much. That is reserved for our master." Fluttershy says.

Twilight giggles and enters Ahsoka as she gasps and tries to reach for her. "Aw, she wants it too lovingly."

Twilight smiles and holds her hoof as she starts thrusting into her as Ahsoka gasps happily with each hit. "She really pulls at you. Master will love her."

Fluttershy giggles as she sits on the bed and pets Ahsoka's head. "Aw, who's a good mare?"

Ahsoka moans and looks to her. "I am."

Fluttershy smirks. "And who will listen to our master and be his pet Flutterbug?"

Ahsoka licks her lips as she backs her flank into Twilight's as they collided. "I am and I want him."

Fluttershy smiles as she brings out a purple collar. "Good girl." She said putting it around Ahsoka's neck.

"She is finally broken and given into us. It seems we didn't have a repeat with Rainbow after all." Twilight says.

Fluttershy keeps petting Ahsoka's mane as Twilight kept rutting her. "Yes, she was just trying to be loyal all the way. This one here has been lusting after our master for a long time without even knowing. Right Flutterbug?"

Ahsoka happily moans as she tries to look at her. "Yes, I wanted him. I need him."

Fluttershy smiles. "Alright. Finish her." She said getting up and packing everything else up.

Twilight smirks as she lights her horn and Ahsoka starts to scream loudly before rising up a bit and soon collapses as Twilight pulls out of her. "Got her."

"Yes. Now time to put away the Flutterbug." Fluttershy says and Twilight's eyes return to normal.

Twilight groans. "Dang it Fluttershy. At least give me a break once in a while or I will never return." She said taking off the strap on.

Fluttershy smiles as she looks to Ahsoka. "So when do you want to give this little pet to master?"

"Oh, we are done?" Twilight asks.

Fluttershy nods as she sits down on the bed again and pets Ahsoka's head. "Yes, she's ready."

"Ok, now all that is left is how to give her to Blitz without him taking it the wrong way." Twilight says picking her up and taking her to the bathroom conjoined to the room.

Fluttershy smirks. "Got any more potential mares to change over?"

Twilight huffs. "I'll let you know if Blitz had any more relationships outside of us."

"Oh, you have always been jealous when you found out he loved another first." Fluttershy says.

Twilight sighs. "He loved Applejack before me. Then I fell in love with him and that messed him up. I am not letting him fall into that again."

"Ah, that isn't the whole truth, isn't it? You started developing feelings when you started teaching him." Fluttershy says.

Twilight nods. "Yeah, I loved him…because he was almost like me."

"Except of his tool and his toned flank right?" Fluttershy asks jokingly.

Twilight blushes. "Shut up and let me deal with our new addition here." She said carrying Ahsoka out.

"Oh, one moment, got to install the trigger for her to return." Fluttershy says walking up to them and stands in front of Ahsoka as she wakes up and looks at her. "Ladybug." She said putting her hooves on her head and had her eyes glazed over before they return to normal and falls asleep. "Done. She will be asleep for a while enough time to clean her and put her back to bed in her normal form so she won't suspect everything." Fluttershy says.

Twilight smirks. "Oh, I would love to see that." She said putting Ahsoka in the bathtub.

"We can't risk it yet. We need Blitzy to be trained in the force so he doesn't hurt himself." Fluttershy says.

Twilight nods. "Yeah, now let's get this done."

Blazer happily jumps around he looks into the many store windows. "Cool. Ancient books."

"He is certainly a ball of energy right now." Rainbow says.

Applejack sighs. "I guess I have been keeping him inside too long."

Blazer chuckles as he looks around and coos at something and heads down an alleyway.

"Blazer, get back here." Applejack calls.

"Got it." Rainbow said flying ahead.

Applejack waited with Spectrum and Blast. "Okay, how ya doing?" She asks cheekily to the other two.

"Blazer." Rainbow calls as she glides through the alleyway. "Blazer?" She calls out as she peeks her head around a corner and sees Blazer talking to some filly. "Wait, is that…?"

Blazer chuckles. "Fluffy, huh?"

"Oh shut it you bird." Diamond said.

"If I'm a bird, you're a pigeon." Blazer says.

Diamond growls. "Why do you bother me this much?"

Blazer raises an eyebrow. "I don't know. Why do you keep bumping into me pigeon?"

Diamond gives a frustrated growl at him as her reply.

Blazer chuckles a bit. "Listen, how about this pigeon, I leave you alone if you leave my family alone. Even if we pass by each other, we don't acknowledge each other. Deal, pigeon?" He asks holding a smirk.

"I'm going to…" Diamond was cut off when Rainbow calls for him.

"Blazer."

Blazer looks back a bit before looking at her. "Deal, pigeon?" He asks with a smile.

"Blazer, come on." Rainbow calls.

Blazer sighs and looks back. "Coming." He calls before looking to Diamond as he walks away. "Think about it Ms. I'm so Fluffy Pigeon."

"Come on griffon boy." Rainbow calls.

Blazer groans as he walks back. "Yeah, yeah. I'm coming." He calls and looks back at Diamond with a sly smirk. "Pigeon." He mouths out to her.

Diamond just held a frown as he walks off behind the corner. "What a stupid, idiotic, no good, flightless cute bird!" She yelled out at herself before covering her mouth. "Dang it." She said when she notices other ponies were staring at her.

"So you done flirting?" Rainbow asks.

Blazer chuckles. "I wasn't flirting. I was making a deal to make sure she wouldn't bother us that much again."

"Sure you were." Rainbow says holding a sly smiling as she was being sarcastic.

Blazer sighs. "Look, can we head to a dinner or something? I'm getting hungry."

"Sure sweetie." Rainbow says.

Blazer rolls his eyes as they start walking again. "I'm not a sweetie." He mimics her voice on the last word. "I'm a griffon."

"Your mine and the other's son so you are our little sweetie." Rainbow says.

Blazer groans. "I'm not going to be hearing that when my name is called, do I?"

Rainbow just smiles and snuggles him.

Applejack sighs in relief as the two came out of the alleyway. "About time, where did you go?"

"This little sweetie was flirting with a filly." Rainbow says.

Applejack chuckles. "Really, who's the filly?"

"Not telling." Rainbow says smirking.

Applejack feigns a hurt look. "Aw, come on. We're family."

"Yeah, but it would humiliate our little griffon." Rainbow says.

Applejack smirks as she looks to Blazer. "So won't tell?"

"I'm hungry." Blazer says.

Applejack sighs. "Okay. Let's get something to eat." She said as they start walking again.

"Thanks mom." Blazer says smirking knowing he hit a weak point with that.

Applejack chuckles as she wraps a hoof around him. "Don't think you're off the hook."

"Mom, you shouldn't overexert yourself." Blazer says.

Applejack smiles. "Trust me, I never do."

"Applejack, not even Spectrum or Blast believe that." Rainbow says.

Applejack chuckles. "I never lie."

"What do you think you two?" Rainbow asks her foals how signaled no confidence.

They both coo and shake their heads.

"Votes are in and no foal believes that statement." Rainbow says.

Applejack sighs. "Let's just get something to eat."

"So how is Apple Bloom and the rest of the Apples taking the news of your pregnancy?" Rainbow asks.

Applejack shrugs. "Surprised, they thought that the stallion I would be getting isn't tough enough for me."

"Really now? Maybe I should tell them about…" Rainbow was cut off by Applejack.

"Don't you dare."

They all laugh or giggle as Applejack frowns.

Blitz groans as he stumbled out of the room as he closes the door behind him. "Get the nurses and clean up the room. I need a large lunch now." He says to the guards.

"Hug love?" Twilight asks.

Blitz backs away from her. "No thank you. I have been hugging and feeling up too much for a few hours now."

"Oh. Come here you." Twilight says dragging him to the couch and into her hooves.

Blitz groans and looks to a changeling guard. "Get me a large platter of food, now."

The guards leave as Twilight lays on him.

Blitz sighs. "Those mares know how to tire me out. Don't do much with me, please." He pleads to Twilight.

"Don't worry love, I'm not going to do anything, but pet you." Twilight says starting to pet him.

Blitz sighs in relief. "That's feels good." He said leaning into her petting.

"I thought you would like that." Twilight says using her magic to wrap a blanket around them.

"I will entrust you with my body love." Blitz says activating Imperius' holocron before entering it.

"I will take good care of it." Twilight says smiling as she snuggles into it.

"Ugh. What did I drink last night?" Ahsoka asks herself as she gets up and rubs her head. "Please don't tell me master crash the ship again."

"Oh you are up. Crazy night?" Daring asks.

Ahsoka groans. "More or less. What happened?"

"Don't know, I have been looking after the foals." Daring says before booping Azure's nose.

Ahsoka sighs and looks around before she hears a jingle from her neck. "What?" She asks herself before feeling around and feels a collar. "Why am I wearing this?"

"Don't know, thought it was something to do with the jedi." Daring says as Ahsoka throws the thing off.

Ahsoka sighs. "Where's the two mares? Um…Fluttershy and Twilight?"

"Well Blitz is currently in the holocron so Twilight is watching over him while Fluttershy is looking after her animals." Daring says petting Venator as he napped.

Ahsoka nods and gets up. "Okay. I'll go see Fluttershy and try to figure out what happened. Maybe we talked and drank too much." She said walking to the door.

"Shouldn't you wait here for the other two? In case something goes wrong with the holocron." Daring says.

Ahsoka shakes her head. "Nah. He'll be fine. We have been through worse."

"You know he is quite vulnerable to being petted right now with Twilight." Daring says smirking.

Ahsoka groans. "I'm going to figure things out quickly before seeing him. I kinda had my fill of Blitz's petting."

Daring raises an eyebrow at that. 'That is strange.' Daring thinks.

Ahsoka groans as she stumbled a bit and reaches Fluttershy near the garden. "Fluttershy?"

"One second. Come on Angel, just one bite." Fluttershy says pushing a carrot to him.

Angel frowns as he taps his foot quickly before Fluttershy gets a carrot to the face.

"Angel." Fluttershy says a little mad.

Angel squeaks at her and crosses his arms and huffs.

Fluttershy sighs. "I didn't want to do this." She said before staring at him as he squeaks and looks to her afraid. He then takes the carrot and starts chewing.

"Good boy." Fluttershy says happily.

Ahsoka just stares at the scene. "Okay, I must have drank something."

Fluttershy smiles at her. "By whatever do you…" She gasps as she looks at her.

"So now you know who is talking to you." Ahsoka says.

Fluttershy frowns a bit. "Naughty girl."

Ahsoka becomes confused. "What?"

Fluttershy points to her. "You took it off."

"What are you talking about?" Ahsoka asks.

'Oh right, no memories of last night.' Fluttershy thinks. "It's just it was amusing seeing you drunk last night." Fluttershy says. "For some reason you put on a collar. Come on, put it back on. It was cute."

Ahsoka raises an eyebrow. "Nope, I'm not a collar kind of girl."

"Ah, but it was so funny when you tried to sing and badly and told me you secretly love my husband." Fluttershy says.

Ahsoka blushes. "I do not like him. As a friend, but not a lover. I can't anyway with me being a jedi."

'There it is, your true reservation. The only part I couldn't break. Maybe Blitz can break through it himself.' Fluttershy thinks.

Ahsoka sighs. "Well, I only came over to ask what happened last night. But I got my answer. I'm going to see Blitz and Twilight. Want to come?"

"Sorry, can't, got to attend to my animals and thinking of adding on to my cottage. Make a room for my foal on the way." Fluttershy says getting looks from the animals.

Ahsoka smiles. "Congratulations."

"Thanks, it has been a long time coming." Fluttershy says.

Ahsoka looks around. "Does Blitz know?"

"Oh he knows, I killed open his door and proclaimed it." Fluttershy says smiling.

Ahsoka chuckles. "Did you get a guard?"

"Yeah, helped him to the infirmary." Fluttershy says.

Ahsoka chuckles. "Oh, this is why I like you guys. No two days are the same. Wish I could stay."

"You going back to the war?" Fluttershy asks.

Ahsoka sighs. "Have to. Keep you guys safe."

"So what is the word? Knowing my husband, he won't remain quiet after the attack." Fluttershy says.

Ahsoka stares at her. "War. Good luck on your end. At least we can hope to end this quicker than what we have been dealing with. It has been going on even before I was born. Heck, even before my masters were born."

"The war of the sith and jedi is a timeless battle." Fluttershy says

Ahsoka nods. "Yeah, religion tends to do that."

"So the clone wars themselves. Lightning thinks you have stretched yourselves too thin and leave yourselves open to a major offensive." Fluttershy says.

Ahsoka sighs. "There is only so much the jedi can do."

"And leaving yourselves vulnerable to an attack." Fluttershy says.

Ahsoka shrugs. "What else can we do? We have to go where the army wants us to go. At least we are allowed some leeway since we are our own area."

"Blitz has already deduced that the CIS have been planning an operation to attack Coruscant since the war began." Fluttershy says.

Ahsoka sighs. "Of course they have. They tried a few ways, but that might have been to know where to strike once they get there. Once they get enough, then maybe they'll bring the entire fleet. You think Blitz would really help us out or be a third party in all this?"

"It is hard to say, he bears no love for the jedi and is suspicious of the republic, but he cares about you." Fluttershy says.

Ahsoka presses her lips together. "I can't be everything for this."

"I'm not asking you to be. Just think on it." Fluttershy says.

Ahsoka sighs. "I need to speak to someone. I'll be seeing you around." She said walking away.

"Ok, oh and the other jedi sent word ahead they are coming back here." Fluttershy says.

Ahsoka's eyes widen and hurries out. "Need to talk quick." She said running out the door.

"How long until you are one of us?" Fluttershy asks herself.

"Congratulations on being in the war." Imperious said.

"So you suspect the same as I then? A sith is controlling the republic's movements?" Blitz asks.

Imperious sighs. "Who else? Needs to be someone who knows the force and command of the army and government very well. Meaning, boring politician."

"But who is the question." Blitz says.

"Hard to say." Imperius says.

Blitz sighs. "I at least want to know, you ever been to Coruscant?"

"No, I never went there and it must have changed since my time." Imperius says.

Blitz smiles. "Good, heard it was filled with a signing of contracts that can sell even your own blood."

"Another reason why I preferred the empire." Imperius says.

Blitz chuckles. "Yeah, at least they have more fun every day. Now I'm in the war because of the attack. At least everyone is okay."

Imperius nods before Blitz left the holocron. He sighs and looks around for a bit. "Now where did I leave those settings?" He asks himself before Ahsoka suddenly comes in. "Ah, come back for more?"

"Yes and I see you got a sleeping companion." Ahsoka says.

Imperious chuckles. "At least he's got questions on the war. But what about you? What did you need to ask now?" Imperius asks appearing as a hologram above the holocron.

Ahsoka sighs. "Yes, I need to know. When you got into a war. What was the original reason you stuck with it going into it? It can't be the politics."

"The reason was I wanted to protect my people. The republic once nearly drove the empire into extinction. Making sure that never happened again was paramount to me." Imperius says.

"So Darth Imperius, how old were you when you became a dark council member?" Blitz asks.

Imperius remained silent for a while before reaching up and removing his helmet revealing a young good looking human male. "I became a member of the dark council at the age of twenty two." Imperius says.

Ahsoka stares at him. "And how old is the oldest?"

"At the time, the oldest living member was around seventy. I think the old pureblood could have been older." Imperius says noticing the two jedi standing in the doorway since he took off his helmet.

"Is that…?" Anakin tries to ask.

"Oh masters." Ahsoka says turning around.

Imperious smiles. "Got to go." He said before the holocron shuts itself off and falls to the ground steadily as Blitz catches it.

"So young and yet thrust onto such a position." Blitz says.

Ahsoka sighs. "I at least try to command the forces. Haphazardly at times."

"Yet he had killed a member of the dark council at that point." Obi-Wan says.

Blitz smiles a bit. "I see you started looking back at history. At least the jedi aren't complete dumbasses though I guess it is only natural since you piggybacked on the connection we had to the archives."

Anakin frowns. "Um, we are standing right here."

"I know." Blitz says shaking Twilight.

Twilight snorts awake. "What happened? I fell asleep. Are we under attack by Celestia?"

"No love. The jedi have returned." Blitz says.

Twilight yawns. "Okay. What time is it?"

"Um let's see…noon." Blitz says.

Twilight sighs. "Okay. You got anything you need to do with them? Politics or something?"

"No, but do you mind taking this to my study?" Blitz asks giving her the holocron.

Twilight nods. "Sure. I might be away for a bit though. You know Arcane." She said taking it.

"And your spa appointment." Blitz says.

Twilight giggles. "You should really try it soon."

Blitz looks to the jedi for their reactions.

Ahsoka sighs. "At least we are somewhat of a family here."

'Padme will never get me to do that.' Anakin thinks.

Obi Wan thinks on that. 'I haven't been able to move my arms as much lately. Maybe.'

"Sorry love, still got too much to do." Blitz says.

Twilight sighs and pecks his cheek. "Alright, better get going. Bye honey." She said walking away.

Blitz chuckles as he grabs his armor and puts it on. "At least the other girls didn't drag me off like last time."

"Blitz, come with me." Daring says walking in.

"I spoke too soon." He said walking off. "Lunch is in the dining room. Enjoy yourselves."

"Come on, Venator is awake." Daring says.

Blitz smiles. "I'm sure he wants to hug our noses."

"Come on you slow flank." Daring calls.

Blitz chuckles and rushes up to her. "Coming."

"She should be getting back soon Arcane." Blitz says as Blitz flips the page for him.

Arcane coos and looks at him and giggles and hugs him.

"That's my little colt." Blitz says hearing the door open.

Twilight sighs. "You should really try the spa Blitzy. It's amazing."

"It is not my…hello." Blitz says smirking after looking up at her.

Twilight giggles. "Like my hairdo?" She asks as her mane was stylized up a bit with a curl and spiked.

"Oh yeah hot flank." Blitz says.

Twilight smiles as she walks over and Arcane looks to her and just stares at her. "Ma?"

"Yes, baby?" Twilight asks picking him up.

Arcane looks to her mane before giggling and hugs her.

"You like momma's new mane huh?" Twilight asks.

"Hey Twi, that yo…" Rainbow stops herself seeing it.

Blitz snickers. "You know what, I want a night with you in this mane style."

"Oh you do huh?" Twilight asks.

"Hey Rainbow, hey Blitzy, hey Arcane, hey mare I don't know." Vinyl says walking through. Twilight sighs as Vinyl just passes by them as she grabs some food. "Make sure she heads out. This is Twilight's castle." Vinyl said.

Twilight smiles and gives Arcane to Blitz before going to her and hugs her. "Hello Vinyl Scratch."

"Like Twi's new mane style?" Blitz asks.

Vinyl looks at Twilight. "This is Twilight?"

"Yeah, if I wasn't, how would I know…?" Twilight whispers the rest into her ear.

Vinyl blushes. "You wouldn't."

Twilight smirks and kisses her cheek. "I would."

Vinyl just stares at her. "So you took to my mane style huh?"

"Please, I make this look good." Twilight says joking.

"My line!" Blitz yells as Arcane happily chewed on some pancakes.

"Nope, Blitz choose me first." Vinyl says leaning against him.

Twilight huffs. "And he said he wants to rut me tonight."

"Because you have my type of mane style." Vinyl says smirking.

Twilight smirks. "And I'm making it look better than you. You have it down, I have it up. See, better."

"How about I rut both of you?" Blitz whispered quickly beside their heads.

They both yelp as they back off a bit as Blitz held a sly grin and Arcane kept eating without a care in the world. "Funny ma." He coos.

"Sorry, not me Blitzy. Got precious cargo." Vinyl says.

Blitz shrugs. "Your choice. Now I got the new Twilight here ready for an into the bed and need a new mattress rut tonight."

Twilight giggles as she nuzzles Blitz. "Can't wait. Maybe have a fun time with costumes."

"Who needs those with this mane?" Blitz teases.

Twilight grins. "Maybe a black jacket."

"We shall see love." Blitz says.

Twilight smiles and nuzzles him. "Love you Blitz and Arcane and the others too."

"Wha…" Rainbow tries to ask.

Terra giggles as she floats in and stops in front of Arcane as he kept chewing on his pancake. "Oh, so cute." She said before changing into a filly and grabs her own pancake and starts chewing like him in front of him. "Yummy!" She squeaks before going back to chewing as Arcane giggles and they start sharing their pancakes.

Twilight sweatdrops. "Well, at least she's treating him like family and keeping him happy." She tries to say with a smile before suddenly becoming a big angry head right by Terra. "You stay away from a certain amount of distance! Remember?!" She yells before becoming normal again and gritting her teeth.

Terra keeps chewing before giggling. "Funny head."

Twilight suddenly became a giant head of a changeling queen that starts breathing fire. "I said distance!" She hissed.

Terra rolls her eyes before becoming normal again and taps Twilight's head with her hoof and makes her turn back to normal. "Sorry dear. You need to be more tolerant of others, especially around your foals. Who knows that they might get from this sort of attitude?"

"Terra, please quit teasing her." Blitz requests.

Terra sighs and floats over to him. "Fine. Also, here's the package you wanted me to get. Let's hope that music pony likes it." She said as a cloud of smoke made a wooden box with holes come out on top of it.

"Thanks and how are those two doing?" Blitz asks.

Terra looks innocent cutely. "Oh, they are dealing with it."

"They seem to be having fun with Venator." Blitz says.

Terra nods. "Yes, did you know those two traveled halfway across the continent just for their cutie marks with little tennie tiny Discord? Oh, even climbing to a mountain peak."

"Looks like Venator and them are climbing on the cabinet." Blitz says.

Terra quickly looks over and shrieks. "Ah! You three! Get off now!" She yells as she quickly floats over.

"There you are." Daring says grabbing Venator.

Terra groans as she picks up Celestia and Luna. "You two are trouble."

"What was your first clue?" Daring says petting Venator.

Terra shows them both. "Those devious smiles." She said as both fillies smile.

"And the fact they are about to spray paint on you." Daring says smirking.

Terra looks confused. "Wait, what?" She asks before hearing some spraying and then sees the fillies high hoof each other on the ground as they hold spray paint cans. "What?" She asks herself before looking at herself and goes wide eyes at what they drew on her. "You two are in trouble." She hissed and sounded like Discord at the moment for that is what she was painted as.

Both fillies laugh as they ran away.

Terra growls as she chases them. "Get back here you brats!"

"Come on Venator, time to nurse." Daring says nuzzling him.

Venator smiles and nuzzles her as Blitz goes over to Vinyl. "Hey V. Check out your new present." He said giving her the box.

Vinyl raises an eyebrow and takes the box. "I doubt there is anything, oh my gosh!" She yells as she opens the present and sees a white bunny looking at her. "A bunny!"

"Yes, thought you might like that." Blitz says smiling.

Vinyl giggles as she takes the bunny out and holds it against her. "Aw, who's the cute little whisker player, huh? Who's a cute little hopper?" She asks as the bunny twitches its nose at her and seems to lick at her cheek. "Thanks Blitzy."

"So what will you name it?" Blitz asks leaning against her.

Vinyl hums as the bunny sniffs at Blitz. "How about…Bassy?"

"Want a carrot little one?" Blitz asks giving Vinyl a carrot.

Vinyl giggles as she takes the carrot and the bunny starts reaching for it before she gives it to him and he starts nibbling it.

Blitz kisses Vinyl's cheek before walking with Twilight as Arcane rides on her.

"Loving family, isn't it?" Twilight asks as Arcane tries to get on Blitz.

"Yes." Blitz says picking up Arcane with his magic and putting him on himself.

Arcane giggles as he grabs his mane and tries to braid it. "Sorry son, my mane is still too short." Blitz says.

Arcane groans and just lays down on his back.

"Come on son, me and your mom will read you a story before your nap." Blitz says.

Arcane yawns cutely as he snuggled onto his back.

Twilight smiles as she nuzzles Blitz. "I love you, our foal and our family Blitz. Thanks for this."

"And you are going to have another one soon enough." Blitz says cheekily.

Twilight giggles. "Not if this war gets in the way. Why can't we live in happiness with nothing else bothering us?"

"Because that would be boring." Blitz jokes.

Twilight rolls her eyes. "Please, it would be peace and some of us want boringness to live a good life."

"And did you marry me for peace or to have fun?" Blitz asks smirking.

Twilight smirks. "Okay, you are giving me incentive to bring in some interdimensional creatures to join in on our nights."

"Nope, only I can touch you. Also, Pinkie said all three of her sisters are coming for a visit." Blitz says.

Twilight smirks. "Oh yeah, now that's the definition of boring right there. Had a tough time with Maud. Still, you need to spice things up."

"Isn't that what you do?" Blitz jokes leaning against her.

Twilight giggles. "Oh yeah, still, I need to know. Are you sure you aren't getting bored of us?"

"Never my sexy mare." Blitz whispers into her ear.

Twilight grins and moves his ear and bites it. "And yet, what about us?" She whispered.

"I will never get tired of you." Blitz says.

Twilight smiles. "I meant would you allow us to have fun somewhere else if needed?"

"No other stallions. Mares, ok, if I get to have fun too." Blitz says.

Twilight looks at him carefully. "Really, you would cheat on us?"

"No, but if you are having fun with a mare, it is ok for me to have fun with her as well, right?" Blitz asks.

Twilight sighs. "Okay, then you better go with Rarity when she goes to the spa now if you say that."

"You are not going to let that go till I do, are you?" Blitz asks.

Twilight looks to him. "No, I mean Rarity has fun with those twins at the spa when she gets her treatment."

"They might get in on this." Blitz says.

Twilight smirks as she makes her tail tap under him. "Oh yeah, that's ours though. We need some meat at times."

"I meant rings involved in that." Blitz says.

Twilight sighs. "Don't you dare marry them. We already have enough mares. Still…maybe I should open another portal to a dimension where I'm an s."

"No." Blitz says immediately.

Twilight smiles. "What's wrong?"

"Not around Arcane." Blitz says.

Twilight sighs. "You want to head there one day when we have time? Maybe meet my other half there that is…well…more fun on the badder side."

"Ok, we will talk about that later. For now, what book you want us to read Arcane?" Blitz asks as they enter his room and puts Arcane on the bed.

Arcane thinks on that. "Da?" He asks pointing to him.

"Yes." Blitz says leaning down to him.

Arcane still points at him. "Da."

Blitz smiles and pokes his stomach with his nose.

Arcane giggles and points to the books on the table nearby and then points back to him. "Da."

"Ok." Blitz says lifting him up to the books.

Arcane shakes his head and points at him. "Da."

Twilight smiles. "He wants to hear your story Blitz. One of your own that is about you. He wants to hear about his hero."

"Ah, ok Arcane." Blitz says laying him into his bed.

Arcane smiles as he settles in his bed and pulls the covers around him and looks up to him in anticipation.

"Well it all started when…" Blitz starts.

Blitz groans as he lays down on the bed and looks over to the empty spot. "Guess they would give me a break. Still feels a bit lonely. Maybe…I should take up on their offer. Huh, can't sleep with mares or even talk to them and I want them around me now."

"You still have me." Minerva says walking in.

Blitz smiles as he sits up and she sits on the bed. "Forgot to give you some time, sorry. So, what do you want?"

"Nothing much, just thought you could use company." Minerva says.

Blitz chuckles as he grabs her and has her lean against him. "Do you feel anything?" He whispered. "Something you never felt before?"

"Odd, hunger." Minerva says.

Blitz smirks as he rubs her stomach. "That's just you needing something. It sometimes come as hunger, but if you know what it is, it will feel as something else. You are probably hungry for me." He said with a smirk.

Minerva smiles as she looks back at him. "So what do I need from you?"

"Love as you are also pregnant." Blitz says.

Minerva sighs. "Can't believe that after all this time being your computer helper, then a ship, then finally your android. Now…"

Blitz nuzzles her. "You are my wife and lover and about to be mother. An A.I.'s dream come true."

"And more, my other dream is to conquer the galaxy." Minerva jokes.

Blitz chuckles and kisses her cheek. "And I would be an overlord ready and waiting to conquer all the towns and settlements that fall to your demise."

"You better." Minerva says putting a hoof on his chest.

Blitz holds his hoof against her. "Yeah, you are my wife after all. Still can't believe I was able to get you pregnant. You are part robot after all."

Minerva sighs and pushes him onto the bed. "Can you at least have the most fun we can have now?"

"To an extent." Blitz says before capturing her lips.

Minerva moans into the kiss as he flips them over. "Thanks for giving me this chance." She said after separating.

"No, thank you for taking the risk." Blitz says before reinitiating the kiss.

Minerva groans as she sits up. "Dang it. Did I try drinking again?"

"Nope, you just spent all night making out with me." Blitz says while before pulling her into his grasp.

Minerva sighs in relief. "Good. I don't want to experience…what is that called again? Something over?"

"Hang over." Blitz says.

Minerva nods. "Yeah, that. Don't want to feel that again. What are you going to do now with all this trouble with the war?"

"We aren't at war just yet. The clans are starting to heed the call and gather on the mandalorian station Firebrand." Blitz says.

Minerva nods and watches him carefully. "Where would you be if it starts? I think the others would want to know because they would hounding me for information."

"On the front. I am a chief after all." Blitz says.

Minerva sighs. "And your mares and foals? Where would you send them then?"

"They are staying here, away from the war." Blitz says.

Minerva shakes her head. "Blitz, they would follow you to make sure you would be around them. Are you sure you want them to make them stay here?"

"I don't want them in danger." Blitz says.

Minerva frowns. "They are going to follow you whether you know it or not. And if the war drags on, they will ask and soon demand to see you."

"So how long have they been listening in?" Blitz asks.

Minerva rolls her eyes. "After I got up. Get in here!" She yells to the ajar door.

"And they hear what I want." Blitz says before smacking her flank playfully.

Minerva yelps and jumps a little. "Blitz!"

Blitz smirks. "Nice firm flank. I see you got yourself a great body."

"It should be, I custom ordered it." Minerva says.

Blitz chuckles. "Do I need to know anything extra just for me?"

"Well you could bring home a few more girls for all of us to play with." Minerva says.

Blitz sighs. "Oh boy. I got myself a horny android. So did you ever catch on I was on to you?" Blitz asks.

Minerva looks innocent. "I have no idea what you are talking about."

"That I was leading you and the ones at the door on?" Blitz asks.

Minerva rolls her eyes. "Blitz, can't you just enjoy that one of your mares is here?"

"Yes, but you already slipped up and let me know more are listening in." Blitz says before using his magic to tickle Minerva a bit.

Minerva stops before starting to chuckle and then giggle before laughing. "What's…what's going on?" She tries to ask.

"This is what is called tickling." Blitz says.

Minerva keeps laughing as she tries to get away by rolling across the bed.

"Oh no you don't." Blitz says holding her in place with his hooves.

Minerva keeps laughing at the door suddenly opened to a few familiar mares. "Um…should we help her?" E. Octavia asks.

"You want to get in the middle of that?" Octavia asks.

E. Octavia shakes her head as the Vinyls just nuzzle the little bunny between them. "He's so cute. Why did we bring him with us?" S. Vinyl asks.

"I don't kno…" Octavia stops when she feels a familiar tug.

"Oh Octy." Blitz calls.

Octavia groans and walks over. "Dang it Blitz."

"Oh you are so jealous." Blitz says.

Octavia huffs. "Am not."

"Her temperature and heart rate has increased, I think she is embarrassed." Minerva says trying to catch her breath.

Blitz smirks. "Oh, Minerva got you there. What are you mares doing here anyway?"

"Bunny!" Vinyl calls happily.

"Whoa, she hasn't been that happy since Azure last called her mom." Blitz says.

"Bunny!" Both S. and E. Vinyl cheers.

"Whoa, all Vinyls love a bunny." Blitz says.

E. Octavia groans. "It's all they ever talk about."

"Oh I have an idea. Hey girls, who wants to take care of Azure and the bunny today?" Blitz asks.

All the Vinyls look up and grin. "Would we?" They all said.

"Ok, only one can go check up and see if he has woken open from his nap yet. The other two takes care of the bunny." Blitz says.

They all turn to glare at each other. "Youngest goes." Vinyl said.

"But who is that?" Blitz asks.

All the Vinyls hisses at each other as the bunny just messes with his little whiskers.

"Any fighting and none of you go." Blitz says.

Vinyl hisses at them before suddenly running off. "Hey!" E. Vinyl yells before running after her leaving S. Vinyl smirking as she pets the bunny. "I win."

"So does that make you and E. Vinyl older?" Minerva asks as Octavia was now in Blitz's hooves being petted.

S. Vinyl giggles. "Yep. Created after they were born. Purely for them to be safe when younger."

"But the youngest got to go check up on Azure." Blitz says.

S. Vinyl waves him off. "Please, as much as we love the bunny, we love him even more."

"I'm lost now." Blitz says.

S. Vinyl sighs. "We love Azure more than this bunny. But they are almost equal. Besides, he's also our foal as well…in a sense."

"More than a sense. Three, two, one." Blitz counted down before they all heard Vinyl squee. "He is awake and most likely called her mother."

S. Vinyl sighs. "Would you be willing to have me on a fertility run? Succubus on my end isn't so lucky."

"Um…why don't you get yourself checked first?" Blitz says smirking.

S. Vinyl raises an eyebrow before going wide eyed. "No way."

"Go make su…" Blitz stops when he just sees a dust cloud.

Octavia giggles. "They are still family, aren't they?"

"When did they stop?" Blitz asks as E. Vinyl looked after the bunny and Vinyl comes back holding Azure.

Minerva smiles. "How is he?"

"He is a little angel of the night." Vinyl says with the biggest smile as he rides on her back.

Azure grins as his fangs show. "Daddy." He cheers.

"Come here little guy." Octavia says.

Azure giggles as he jumps off her back and heads to the bed before trying to climb it.

Blitz smiles and lifts him up with his magic.

Azure giggles and hugs him.

Octavia smiles and hugs Azure from behind.

Azure laughs and tries to hug her too and kiss her cheek. "Mommy."

"Our little colt is so smart." E. Vinyl says lifting the bunny into Azure's view.

Azure giggles and takes the bunny and hugs it. "Thank you." He said.

All the mares, even Minerva, start gushing over Azure seeing this.

Blitz smiles as he sighs. "At least we can enjoy this before it all comes crashing down."

"Oh, looks like some colt is hungry." Vinyl says.

Blitz pales. "I won't have to give blood, do I?"

"Oh no, we got blood packs. I'll go fetch him some." Octavia says.

Blitz sighs in relief as she went out to find some. "Thank goodness. I don't want his first official blood…when do they start drinking from a live victim?"

"Oh that is completely optional. We get by on the blood banks so well vampires have gone all but undetected for centuries." Vinyl says poking both the bunny and Azure with her nose.

Azure giggles. "And guessing that drinking from a live victim is for just being mates?" Blitz asks.

"Only if you want to turn them into vampires like yourself. Of course that doesn't apply to half breeds like myself and since most likely the only ones in existence are in this room. Most vampires cannot take the possibility they will outlive their mates so they turn them into vampires." Vinyl says.

Blitz raises an eyebrow. "And little Azure?"

"He is a half breed like me. Aren't you Azure?" Vinyl asks tickling him.

Azure giggles as he tries to grab her hooves, but Vinyl boops his stomach with her nose.

Azure bites down on her nose and makes it squeak with each bite.

"Owee. He bit my little nose." Vinyl says rubbing it.

Azure giggles and claps his hooves.

"I'm back." Octavia says.

Azure cheers as he reaches for her.

"Ok, time to feed everypony." Octavia says picking him up.

Azure giggles as he grabs a pack and bites into it and starts drinking.

Blitz smiles as most of the mares join in. "So…who wants from the bag himself?" He asks opening his hooves.

Both Vinyls latch onto him and start biting into his neck.

'Until the day I die, I will never be used to this and I will need a big breakfast to compensate.' Blitz thinks.

A week later Twilight was reading to the foals.

"And so they lived happily ever after." Twilight read before looking up to see all the foals and Pinkie asleep.

"Feeling good love?" Blitz asks coming out of the holocron.

Twilight nods. "Yeah, just fine."

"Well at least they are not giving you much trouble. Though the rest of the mares should have given you a better heads up before sticking you with all of them while they go to work." Blitz says.

Twilight sighs. "Blitz?"

"Yes?" Blitz asks.

Twilight looks to the foals before looking to him. "You want to walk through the garden for a bit? I kinda need something."

"Terran, watch the foals while we are out." Blitz says getting up and putting the holocron away into his clothes.

Terran growls as he padded over to them and lays down near the bed while they both head out.

"You want to just enjoy the walk or discuss something?" Blitz asks.

Twilight sighs as they get out of the castle and head into the garden. "Kinda a bit of both. Blitz, me and others have been getting worried."

"About the war?" Blitz asks.

Twilight nods. "Yeah, we are worried that you would just leave us behind while we worry our heads off at you being possibly about to die. We…just want to make sure."

"You all are coming with the clans on the crusade. You won't be on the front lines but you will be helping." Blitz says leaning against her.

Twilight smiles and nuzzles him. "Thanks Blitz. I think most of the mares would be livid once they were told to stay behind and the foals a little mad."

"I planned to bring you along all along. That is customary for mandalorians." Blitz says.

Twilight sighs. "What's the rule?"

"You're not going remotely to the frontlines and you will be warped back to this system with the ship you are on if anything happens." Blitz says.

Twilight nods. "Sounds fair. Just don't be like what you did to Lightning during the first part of the war. She told us."

"Be more specific, me and her did a lot." Blitz says.

"The messages."

"Ah no, that was because I had no one else at the time and it was good experience for her." Blitz says.

Twilight shakes her head. "That's my Blitz and you can do even more tonight."

"Down Twi. Just because I love your new mane style doesn't mean we can do it every night, besides, Pinkie's sisters will arrive today. Which reminds me, their train arrives at two and it is half past one so we should go wake Pinkie up." Blitz says.

Twilight smiles. "Sure, one last thing?"

"What?" Blitz asks.

Twilight grins. "Rough kiss?"

"Alright, one then off to meet Pinkie's sisters. I already have a shield unit on in case of Maud." Blitz says.

Twilight giggles. "You're that afraid?"

"Yes, she truly scares me." Blitz says before grabbing Twilight and bringing her into a rough kiss. Twilight giggles into the kiss as he pushed her against a tree and he glares with one eye opened at the guards nearby who quickly turned away. Twilight smiles as he finally breaks the kiss and she giggles a bit drunkenly. "Are you really that high when we kiss?" He asks with a smirk.

Twilight giggles as she tries to hang onto him. "Most of the time."

"I wonder if our son inherited your fiery disposition." Blitz asks jokingly.

Twilight suddenly giggles nervously as she pokes her hooves together.

"Come on hot flank." Blitz says walking away.

Twilight now tries to keep up. "It wasn't my fault. Well…Terra told me that male alicorns tend to have a higher drive once they reach a certain age."

"I meant does his mane and tail burst into flames when he gets mad enough." Blitz says.

Twilight smiles a bit. "Well, he cooks his food when he can't even get a bite and steams it up a bit."

Blitz spares her a glance.

Twilight shrugs. "He's too cute at times."

"No comment on that." Blitz says.

Twilight giggles. "Yeah, how could you comment on cuteness?"

"I'm sure an artist could." Blitz says.

Twilight smiles. "Yeah, one sure could. One last thing before we run out to the train station. I kinda have a confession to make."

"What?" Blitz asks.

Twilight takes a quick look around. "Well, I kinda had a small dream of us, just you and me. This is embarrassing." She whispered the last part.

"Twi, you have a twisted imagination." Blitz says.

Twilight sighs. "Look, we promised no secrets after your whole who to choose fiasco. As for my dream. Strangely enough, you were mayor of a new town." She said looking a bit surprised.

"And that is easily classified as a wet dream." Blitz says.

Twilight hits his shoulder. "Dang it Blitz. I'm trying to talk about something personal. Anyway, basic start, changelings are coming in and you have make a town to make…love magic. And, here's the weird thing, all the citizens, were you and I was actually going around helping them make magic."

Blitz says nothing and just pets Twilight.

Twilight purrs and leans around his hoof for more areas to cover. "Even then, you personal dealt with me Mr. Mayor and I was still being passed around."

'Prostitute.' Chrysalis quipped.

"Well I did take bits and food." Twilight said forgetting he was there a moment.

"Ok Twi, I get the picture." Blitz says.

Twilight purrs as she leans into him now. "So you're not mad or creeped out?"

"No, really not. Come on." Blitz says hurrying her along.

Twilight smiles as she follows. "Thanks for listening. I just feel left out when I keep something like that in."

Not ten minutes later, they were waiting at the train station with Pinkie who was bouncing around.

"I can't believe you guys are going to meet my family. I mean, you're not, but me, I can hardly stand it and that's why I'm bouncing because I can't stand!" She cheered.

"We have yet to meet anypony beside Maud and we won't be meeting your parents Pinkie." Twilight says.

Pinkie stops in midair and gets a thinking pose. "Oh yeah. Somepony has to watch a rock farm. Still, I wonder why the payment letters stopped coming in."

Blitz whistles innocently.

Pinkie drops in front of him. "Blitzy, were you taking my letters without permission?" She asks glaring at him with one eye.

"No, of course not one bit love." Blitz says.

"He paid them all off." Twilight says.

Pinkie glares even harder with that one eye. "Don't diss the rock farm." She hissed as Sunshine gets on top of her head and glares the same way too.

"I didn't, I just paid the bills." Blitz says.

Pinkie and Sunshine suddenly became happy. "Okay." She said before she starts hopping around again with Sunshine hanging on.

"Why did you say that?" Blitz asks looking to Twilight.

Twilight grins. "I don't know. Maybe have some fun with the family?"

"I'm going to have to watch you more closely with those pranks." Blitz says.

Twilight looks innocent. "Who says they are pranks?"

"We are watching you." Blitz says as Pinkie and Sunshine emphasize the statement.

Twilight makes a halo appear over her head. "Little old me?" She asks innocently.

"Vinyl does it better doesn't she?" Blitz asks and Pinkie nods.

Twilight now frowns. "I'm bored now."

"We are waiting on a train Twi, what do you expect?" Blitz asks.

Twilight huffs. "When is it supposed to be here?"

"Our train got here five minutes ago." A monotone voice says behind her.

They all turn around to see two gray coated and hair mares standing there with almost the same creepy expression of Maud. "Inky, Blinky!" Pinkie yells and rushes over and hugs them while they still held the same expression.

"Sister, how many times do we have to tell you it is Marble and Limestone?" One of Pinkie's sisters says.

Pinkie looks to them with the same smile as Sunshine cheers and jumps onto them. "But you'll always be Inky and Blinky to me."

Blitz clears his throat. "Pinkie, don't you think proper introductions are in order?" Blitz asks adjusting his desperado hat before looking at her behind his mirror sunglasses

Pinkie giggles and hugs the two mares. "Well say hello to my family. There is Blitzkrieg, we call him Blitzy." She said pointing to him and now everypony else. "There is Twilight Sparkle, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Fluttershy, Applejack, Vinyl, Vinyl, Vinyl, Octavia, Octavia, Shadow, Spitfire, Fleetfoot and Daring Do."

"Pinkie it's only me you, Sunshine, and Twi here." Blitz says watching Maud out of the corner of his eye.

Pinkie takes a quick look around and she sees herself pointing at nothing. "Oh, okay. Well, we're all here. So what do you want to do? Cupcakes, cake, maybe a little party?" Pinkie asks cheerfully.

"Shouldn't we get to your house before we start talking about that?" Maud says.

Pinkie giggles and hugs them again. "Let's go. Sunshine." She calls and Sunshine jumps from their heads and lands on her back. "To the castle!" She cheers before hopping off.

"I think Sunshine takes after her mom a little too much." Blitz says.

Twilight smiles. "It's her daughter. What do you expect? For her to be like any other pony?"

Blitz says nothing as he inches away from Maud.

Maud and the other two Pie sisters just follow where Pinkie went and Blitz and Twilight follows behind. "Think they might like us?" Twilight asks.

"Maud likes you and the rest of the mares, but she tried to castrate me last time." Blitz reminds.

Twilight leans against him. "She likes you now."

"Not lowering the barrier." Blitz says.

Twilight giggles and nuzzles under his head. "You're so cute."

"How do you think Soarin is doing leading the shows?" Blitz asks.

Twilight shrugs. "Don't know. Ask Spitfire when we get back. I'm sort of curious too."

"I would be surprised if he hasn't pissed off her enough to have somepony turn him into a mare." Blitz says.

Twilight smiles. "Well, with his attitude and style, he could be close enough and possibly right now."

"Which way you think she would go, tearing the thing off or getting a unicorn to do that?" Blitz asks.

Twilight looks to him. "How does she deal with you?"

"Me on top." Blitz whispers into her ear.

Twilight grins. "Then she will like doing it herself."

"So if he did piss her off, which way do you bet she went with?" Blitz asks.

Twilight smiles. "Probably both, maybe me."

"You didn't." Blitz says.

Twilight raises an eyebrow. "Maybe."

"Will you girls be surprising me with her?" Blitz asks.

Twilight shakes her head. "No, she's still in shock and hiding at the moment. Spitfire tried everything, but she isn't coming out."

Blitz says nothing as he keeps walking. 'Although a session with a stallion might do the new Soarin wonders.' Twilight thinks a plan forming in her mind.

Twilight looks up at him. "Blitz?"

"Why do I have this sense of dread now?" Blitz asks.

Twilight giggles. "How do you feel about a dinner date?"

"With?" Blitz asks.

Twilight smiles. "Surprise date."

"Do I have a choice?" Blitz asks looking to Twilight to see a smiling face. "I thought not."

Twilight wraps a wing around him. "Now you're learning."

"Who do you want me to screw this time?" Blitz whispers into Twilight's ear in a defeated voice.

Twilight flicks her ear at him. "Spitfire's worried about Soarin now. Now she's scared for her."

"I got it, help the new mare adjust to her new body…well at least Soarin's sexuality hasn't changed." Blitz jokes at the end.

Twilight smiles. "Thanks Blitz."

"Though that means I will be gone all night. Have fun entertaining Pinkie's sisters." Blitz says smirking.

Twilight pushes him away a bit. "Head off now. The sooner, the better."

"Gotcha." Blitz says disappearing.

Blitz, still cloaked, watches as Spitfire talked through the door.

"Soarin, come on out." Spitfire pleaded.

"Go away! Twilight Sparkle told me this is permanent! You think I would forgive you?!" Soarin's voice now a little higher than his old one.

Blitz shakes his head and walks over and taps Spitfire on the shoulder.

Spitfire jumps a little and looks in his direction. "Hello?"

"I got this." Blitz whispers into her ear.

Spitfire sighs. "Just have him, I mean her, enjoy herself." She said walking away.

Blitz knocks on the door.

"I said go away!" Soarin yells.

Blitz knocks on the door again, this time moving out of the way of it.

The door suddenly slams open. "I said go away!" She yells before seeing nopony there. "Hello?" Blitz says nothing as he snuck passed her into her room before Soarin closes the door confused. "That was weird. At least she's gone." She said heading back into the room and collapses on the bed and started to cover herself up. "Why me?"

"Want to talk about it?" Blitz asks decloaking and sitting in her chair at her desk.

Soarin shrieks a mareish scream as she stared at him. "Wha…who…how…?" She tries to ask.

Blitz just sits there in his mandalorian armor, waiting for her to finish.

Soarin soon shakes her head and tries to watch him. "Who…who are you?"

"Don't you remember? It's me, Southern Cross." Blitz says.

Soarin still tries to watch him. "What…why are you here?"

"Heard something happened at the wonderbolts, but didn't expect this." Blitz says.

Soarin looks over herself. "Ye…yeah. Well, you can go now. I'm sure you can find the door." She said before covering herself up again.

"You're not, just upset about this are you? You're still upset that you and your boyfriend broke up half a year ago and he went for a local schoolteacher mare." Blitz says.

Soarin looks up at him in surprise. "How…um…yeah. But I'm fine."

"No, you're torn up inside from keeping it bottled up." Blitz says flexing a wing, getting the joint to pop.

Soarin sighs. "Just go. This isn't your problem."

"Maybe not, but it is yours." Blitz says as Soarin noticed his wings.

Soaring looks them over. "How? I thought you were a unicorn."

"You're not the only one who underwent a change." Blitz says.

Soarin growls a bit. "I don't need help. I'm already female and I lost half my life, heck, my whole life at this point."

"Well at least more stallions will be attracted to you." Blitz points out.

Soarin moans in despair. "But I wanted to be a stallion, not a mare."

"Why don't you tell me all about it?" Blitz asks tricking her into talking.

Soarin sighs. "Well, I don't know where to start."

"Just choose where you want to start." Blitz says before Soarin started.

"And then Spitfire brought princess Twilight and had me changed. It was only after I was out of shock she mention it was permanent." She pauses for a bit. "I hate them."

Blitz hoofs her another tissue so Soarin could blow her nose.

Soarin blows her nose before she realized that Blitz was sitting on the bed near her. "Thanks for listening."

"Feel better?" Blitz asks.

Soarin sighs. "A little."

"I see you are a little more emotional than when you were a stallion." Blitz says.

Soarin throws the tissues away. "I blame this new one."

"So want to get out of here and go get some food?" Blitz asks.

Soarin sighs. "Okay." She said getting up and off the bed. "At least somewhere quiet."

"Lead the way." Blitz says.

Soarin nods and leads him out, before checking outside to make sure nopony was out there.

Soarin sighs as she tries to keep herself hidden behind Blitz's form as they sat in a dinner in a far corner. "Where's the waiter with our food?" She asks quietly.

"What, afraid somepony will think we are on a date?" Blitz asks.

Soarin frowns. "I just want to keep hidden from the tabloids."

"Would they know it's even you?" Blitz asks making Soarin realize they wouldn't and eases up a bit.

Soarin sighs and tries to drink her glass. "Why would you deal with me?"

"Maybe I have a soft spot for cute mares." Blitz jokes causing Soarin to nearly do a spit take.

Soarin choughs a bit on her drink. "Wha…what?"

Blitz chuckles a bit at her reaction and lets her think it over.

Soarin sighs. "What's the real reason?"

"I heard something happened and went to investigate. So I guess there is no true reason this time." Blitz says as Soarin starts to blush a bit.

Soaring looks away for a bit. "Um…thanks for this."

"You're blushing." Blitz says. 'She is adapting to her new body without even realizing it.'

Soarin sighs. "Listen, I like to be alone after this. You don't need to stay."

"You sure?" Blitz asks noticing her tail moving back and forth nervously.

Soarin tries to nod. "Yeah, you don't need to deal with me. You can head out after we finish eating."

"Oh that is too bad and here I thought we were getting along so well." Blitz says starting to play her.

Soarin unconsciously flicks her tail in his direction. "I said I don't need your help anymore."

'Oh, she wants me right now, but how to get her to ask?' Blitz thinks.

Soarin looks at him before leaning a bit. "Oh, our food's here." She said seeing the waiter coming to them with two plates of food.

"Yeah." Blitz says noticing she scooted closer.

They soon fell silent as they started eating without a word. It wasn't until they left and headed down the street and Soarin was still looking down.

"Something else on your mind?" Blitz asks.

Soarin stops and looks at him before looking away again and heading down an alleyway and she nods her head to follow. Blitz shrugs his shoulders and follows. Soarin sighs as she stops and he stops behind her. "Can you…?" She stops and looks around before she moves over to Blitz slowly. "Can you at least…?"

"At least what?" Blitz smirks as he was going to wait for her to say it.

Soarin keeps moving closer and soon looks to him and starts to nuzzle him. "At least like me for me."

"You know, you are cute." Blitz says.

Soarin keeps nuzzling him until Blitz starts to nuzzle her back and pushes her to the wall nearby. "You know, I just work well with tough love here. I can't feel much if it's soft."

"Only in your room." Blitz whispers into her ear.

Soarin sighs and stops nuzzling. "Just tell me, what do you see?"

"Soarin of the wonderbolts." Blitz says.

Soarin nods and smiles. "Um…thanks for that."

"Come on." Blitz says wrapping a hoof around her.

Soarin sighs and leans against him and he leads her back home. "Thanks for the day."

Soarin wakes up sore. 'Uhg…what happened? Did Spitfire makes us do the iron workout for someone calling her fat again?' Soaring thinks.

Soarin shakes her head before looking around soon realizes she can't move. 'Wait, why can't I move?' She asks herself before realizing her hind legs were tied apart together and her forelegs were tied by rope. "Okay, I may need to tone it done a bit." She says before feeling something move and sees an unfamiliar blue stallion holding her.

Soarin struggles against him a bit. "Hey, wake up."

"Come on Soarin, again? You had me go three rounds with you already." Blitz says in his sleep as he rolls to his other side.

Soarin's eyes widen a bit. "Three? I really have to tone it down a bit." She said to herself, still trying to wake him by hitting herself against him while trying to recall what happened.

"I still find it hard to believe you were a stallion." Blitz mutters in his sleep as she starts to recall the pleasure from last night.

Soarin sighs and stops squirming around now. "Guess…guess I can live with this…maybe."

"Come on Soarin. You said you loved the feeling." Blitz says now faking his sleep to put thoughts in her head.

Soarin watches him carefully for anything. "Who the heck am I going to be with now?"

'Let's see if that necklace Spitfire gave me on the way back actually speeds up Soarin's convergence to the mare way of thinking.' Blitz thinks continuing to pretend to sleep.

Soarin sighs. "At least you're cute, for a unicorn." Soarin says.

"You don't look bad yourself in the dress and your makeup isn't bad either." Blitz says continuing to fake.

Soarin frowns. "Hey." She said hitting him with her forelegs. "Now I know you're awake." 'Though a little eyeliner wouldn't be so bad.'

"Do I have to wear that stupid thing to the Grand Galloping Galla?" Blitz asks continuing to fake.

Soarin groans before going back to her bindings and trying to escape from it. "Dang, he did a good job with this."

"Soarin, you either talk like a mare more or just moan like a mare. Either way since I'm starting to like it." Blitz mumbled.

Soarin stops and looks at him. "Talk like a ma…" She stops and looks to herself. "Is that me?" She asks herself hearing her own voice. "It can't be."

"Why are you teasing me so much with your sashaying flank?" Blitz mumbles.

Soarin stops and looks to her flank to see a few red marks on it but it seems to be bigger and curvier. "Oh boy. I hope I don't look like a bimbo. Then again…"

"So you want me to go straight to rutting you instead of your flank?" Blitz mumbles.

Soarin looks back at him and licks her lips and notices the taste. "You got to be kidding me. And I know you're awake." She said leaning close to his ear before recalling she did have him go for that last night.

Blitz says nothing and flips back over and grabs her and holding her, faking being asleep very well as he fools her.

Soarin stops a bit before feeling his hooves travel over her. "Dang it. He can be frisky asleep too? I wish I was…wait, I am finding that stuff enjoyable and desirable."

Blitz, smirking inward, hugs her closely.

Soarin sighs and leans her head against him. "Maybe…maybe this won't be so bad. But…my life." She whispered to herself before saying to her shock. "I need some new clothes, maybe a dress and need a new uniform in the mare size."

"That's my mare." Blitz said looking down at her. "Still tied I see." He said yawning.

"I…I…I…"

Blitz puts a hoof over her mouth to stop her failed mumbling before smiling. "Understand now?" He asks removing the hoof before kissing her as the necklace jewel starts to turn from blue to pink more and more.

Soarin gasps a bit as he pulled away. "I…I want you again." She said and tries to move her hooves to cover her mouth, but Blitz holds them down as he still held her close.

"Which way, straight to rutting you, going for your flank, or do you want a taste to start out?" Blitz asks.

Soarin tries to focus her eyes on him. "I…want…" She stops and stares at him with a wanting look. "Treat me however you want. I'm yours." She says while thinking. 'What is going on? I have never been this crazy for a stallion even when I was a stallion myself.'

"Ok, I will start with your flank." Blitz says.

Soarin tries to move to allow him access to her, but Blitz flips her over and holds her close. "I'm yours. I'm yours." She kept repeating.

Blitz smirks before positioning himself and teases her a bit first.

Soarin moans and looks back at him. "Please." She pleaded. 'What's wrong with me?'

"Alright." Blitz says before entering her, causing the jewel in the amulet to turn more pink.

Soarin moans as she stares ahead. "More, give me more."

Blitz keeps going as Soarin thinks. 'This is incredible I have had a few stallions in me before, but none of them made me feel this good.'

Blitz turns her head to him and she just stares at him with glazed over eyes. "Make me…yours." She breathed to him.

"Alright, you asked for it." Blitz says before exiting her flank and starts teasing her marehood.

Soarin groans and tries to grind her flank on him. "Dang it stallion. Make me your bitch." Soarin says shocking herself. Blitz smirks before plunging in.

Soarin screeches as Blitz kept holding her close and starts to kiss her neck. "I…want…I…" She starts to close her eyes before her head falls asleep as Blitz finished up in her.

Soarin groans as he gets up and looks around before seeing his mareself in front of him. "What happened to me?"

"I see you're finally up." Mare Soarin says running a hoof through her mane.

Soarin sighs. "Why did this happened to me? I don't deserve this."

"Maybe not, but you are getting to be better either way." M. Soarin says.

Soarin looks himself over before looking to her. "How did it come to this? I lost half my life here!"

"Or did you? Isn't there some part of you that wanted to be a mare instead of a stallion?" M. Soarin asks.

Soarin frowns. "Yeah, but…" He quickly looks away.

"In truth, this is a dream come true to you." M. Soarin says.

Soarin starts to gain a sad smile before looking down. "Yeah, but…my whole life…"

M. Soarin smiles and walks up to him. "Think about it. All the stallions you want and you won't get weird looks this time. Maybe the types of fun you do, but certainly your sexuality won't be questioned."

"Yea…no, I am a stallion." Soarin says resisting.

M. Soarin frowns a bit. "Yet, somepony loves you for who you are. Even your teammate is trying to be forgiving for her dreaded mistake. This is a change to all, but it's ultimately you who really can make the first step." M. Soarin says as the background starts changing as if by force from things Soarin liked to move feminine things.

Soarin looks around and sees some old memories floating around. "Never realized…I was that much of a mare. But that still doesn't mean I am one."

M. Soarin glares. "You are one now." She says.

Soarin frowns. "But that's because of my life which has just escaped me now. I can't go to the same things and events again, I can't live my life like a stallion and I can't even have that other feeling when somepony's with me." He said crying a bit now.

"Yes, that is right, mares cry when they are sad." M. Soarin says changing Soarin's mane to match hers which he didn't notice until it brushed his face.

Soaring glares at her. "Hey! I am a stallion and I'm keeping this body."

"No, you are a mare!" M. Soarin yells mad forcibly changing more of the background to reflect a more feminine mind.

Soarin growls. "I am a stallion. I am not a mare. I like stallions, yes, but that doesn't mean you have the right to change me." He said before M. Soarin tackles him and straddles him as he laid on his back pinning his legs and wings.

"Oh, but I am you and we are going to be a mare for that stallion who has gone four rounds with us now." M. Soarin says.

"Dang it." Soarin groans as he struggles to get her off. "I am not going to be a mare for the rest of my life."

"Who said you got a choice? You will be that stallion's lover, bitch, I think even slave is appropriate." M. Soarin asks as Soarin's form start to become more like M. Soarin's.

Soarin groans as he grew a bit weaker. "Let me…go." He tried to say and noticed his voice becoming more feminine like hers.

"That's better, nice and feminine. The stallion will like it. His own female to have." M. Soarin says seductively.

Soarin keeps trying to get her off, but soon his hooves fell to his side. "No…I…want…to…"

M. Soarin smirked as his form became more and more like hers and his stallionhood started to become a marehood.

Soarin blinks slowly as he looks up to her and tries to reach for her and she grabs his hoof. "I…can't…forget."

"You won't, you just won't care." M. Soarin says as his flank filled out like a mare's.

Soarin moans as he felt himself start to fill out and lose mass in a lot of places. "I'm…a…"

M. Soarin pulls her up after the background was finished and she started to apply eyeliner to Soarin who couldn't resist.

Soarin then tries to blink as M. Soarin steps away a bit and admires her work of being a mare that most stallions would take right on the streets for being too hot. "You make this look good. Now what to wear, hmm…" M. Soarin says thinking.

Soarin tries to shake her head and blink a few times. "Something…dark blue."

"Hmm…what was it that Spitfire said was the best thing for a mare to wear underneath…oh yeah, silk." M. Soarin says as a pair of dark blue silk panties appeared on Soaring as his manhood finished becoming a marehood.

Soarin looks it over and smiles almost a bit with a goofy smile. "Nice, but less silk on it."

"What else? Hot shorts, a skirt, or a dress?" M. Soarin wonders out loud, ignoring her as Soarin feels his new feminine nipples start to fill slightly.

Soarin moans. "Less is more. Really short shorts?" She suggested still feeling herself up.

"Dark blue as well." M. Soarin says.

Soarin nods as a really short shorts appears on her hugs her flank tightly and shakes her flanks a bit. "Yes, he will like this. Maybe a skirt as backup."

"Or maybe biker shorts instead with a skirt." M. Soarin says.

Soaring was still trying to blink normally. "Yes, less is more. Less is more."

M. Soarin smiled as her work was about complete as the short shorts disappeared and were replaced by dark blue biker shorts and skirt.

Soarin shakes her flank approvingly. "Yes, he will like, like, way much." She said with a high feminine voice.

"Now for the top." M. Soarin says as Soarin felt something tighten around his nipples.

Soarin smiles. "Like, maybe a really revealing blouse?"

"Something that will come off so easily." M. Soarin says as it a dark blue one appears.

Soarin nods eagerly as she looks herself over. "Yes, want to be taken at any time."

"Now let's do something about that mane." M. Soarin says making a mirror appear in front of Soarin as she got behind him.

Soarin moves her mane a bit. "Like, something to hang onto for him with just one hoof?"

"Something like this." M. Soarin says styling it to where it nearly covered the left side of her face.

Soarin nods, making the mane bob a bit against her. "Yeah, he can use it to hang on to me."

"Now what are you?" M. Soarin asks.

Soarin smiles as she keeps shaking her flank. "A mare. A needy mare."

"For whom?" M. Soarin ask.

Soarin giggles now. "For my stallion to do what he wants."

"Good, you will be a great mare for him even if you are a bit of a tomcolt." M. Soarin says.

Soarin nods. "Yes, great mare."

"Good." M. Soarin says ask Soarin felt a jolt through her.

Soarin freezes up as she went stiffed. "Yes, his mare." She strained to say.

"Oh he came in us again." M. Soarin says.

Blitz sighs as he pulled out of Soarin's flank and pets her head. "Good mare."

'Yeah, she is.' Spitfire thinks watching from the chair in Soarin's room.

Blitz sighs as he watches Soarin carefully. "Huh, she's coming to."

Soarin groans as she opens her eyes and sees Blitz in front of her. "My stallion." She whispered.

"I take it you enjoyed it." Spitfire says, now able to see the necklace jewel was now a light pink with a female symbol in it now.

Soarin nods and reaches for him. "My stallion."

"Ok, she is a keeper. Welcome to the family Soarin." Spitfire says.

Blitz smirks and kisses Soarin's head. "She will certainly be no problem for Fluttershy to deal with. She already wants it rough and being loss of control. Now do you have anything to say Spitfire?"

"Yes, do her flank again." Spitfire instructs.

Blitz rolls his eyes and looks at her. "Spits." He said simply.

"It will make transporting her easier if she is in a stupor." Spitfire says giving him a smirk, making Blitz roll his eyes before mounting Soarin's flank again.

Soarin groans out loud as Spitfire spreads her legs a little. "My stallion." Blitz started thrusting into Soarin. Soarin moans as she looks back at him. "My stallion. Use me however you want."

Spitfire smirks before getting on the bed and brings out a vibrator. "I got something for you Soarin." Spitfire says before putting it into Soarin's marehood and turning it on.

Soarin moans out loud as she grabs the sheets. "Use me." She pleaded.

"Start licking." Spitfire says shoving her head in into her marehood.

Soarin moans were muffled as she started to lick at her as Blitz kept pushing her forward with every hit. "Oh yeah, this is another form of Fluttershy. This time, horny mare for whatever you want." Blitz said grabbing her flanks and leans forward. "But beg for me first." Blitz says taking out the vibrator.

Soarin mumbled into Spitfire's marehood. Spitfire raised Soarin's head to speak.

"Beg me." Blitz says.

Soarin moans. "I want my stallion." She said with a drunken face.

"Ok." Blitz says entering her marehood.

Soarin screams in pleasure as she felt him. "My stallion." Blitz kept going till he came into her. Soarin let out one last scream before collapsing.

Spitfire sighs as she watches him pulls out and lays her down on the bed. "You want to marry again?"

"Think the others will allow it?" Blitz asks.

Spitfire smiles as she brushes aside Soarin's mane. "Yep. They love you and they will love her. Besides, it's the least I could do for making her go through this. After all she went through, she needs this."

"Very well, we will take responsibility for this, but you, me, and Twilight have a few things to discuss later." Blitz says.

"So you think Soarin looks better as a mare?" Spitfire asks smirking.

"I thought that went without saying." Blitz jokes.

Spitfire chuckles and keeps petting Soarin's mane.

"So want to tell me why you made a necklace that can feminize something?" Blitz asks looking to the now shattered necklace with Twilight holding a hammer.

Twilight puts the hammer down and sighs. "First, it was just in case we had an intruder and we needed information. Shock of life can really work that way. But then Spitfire wanted punishment for Soarin, but this has never been tested effectively, so that's why it's permanent and the best I can do for Soarin going back to her old life, is really a genital spell."

"I meant for the mindset?" Blitz asks.

Twilight sighs. "It's kinda Fluttershy's way of working when we have a new mare and they need to be trained. You can ask her for everything that needs to be known for the mind. I just added it to the amulet."

"Well now we have to take responsibility for you turning him into a mare." Blitz says.

Twilight giggles nervously. "Yeah, but it could have been worse."

Blitz raises his eyebrow like Applejack does.

Twilight keeps giggling nervously. "He could have committed suicide."

"Twilight sleeps alone for three nights." Blitz says as he writes that down.

Twilight groans and brings her head down. "I deserve it. But what about Spitfire?"

"Spitfire is currently pregnant and will be helping Soarin adjust. Speaking of which, when she wakes up, I have to talk to her." Blitz says.

Twilight takes the shards and throws them into the fireplace and they started to sparkle and crackle. "Sorry for this."

Blitz nods. "Yeah, you're forgiven from me, but definitely not from Soarin and I doubt she would remember now."

Twilight sighs and spreads her forelegs. "Hug?"

Blitz raises an eyebrow. "Punishment." Blitz says snickering and starts tickling her.

Twilight giggles as he was able to trap her on the ground and ticklers her everywhere and with his magic. "Stop." She laughs.

Blitz grins. "Nope, you need your punishment." Blitz continued till she was breathing hard.

Twilight keeps laughing out of breath until he lets up and gets up. "Do you…still love me?" She asks out of breath.

Blitz playfully yanks her tail. "What do you think hot stuff?" Blitz asks.

Twilight tries to catch her breath. "Thanks for not hating me."

"Go and see Arcane Twi. I will deal with Soarin and tell Flutters she is off limits for now." Blitz says.

Twilight nods and gets up and walks out. "Thanks for forgiving me Blitz."

"You're forgive, but you are still going to be punished." Blitz reminds walking to the room Soarin was in.

Soarin smiles happily as Blitz walks in. "My stallion. Do you want to have fun with me? I'm already dressed for the occasion." She said wearing a skimpy outfit in Blitz's opinion and was trying to figure out where she got it from.

"Rewind." Blitz says using her keyword to suppress her sexual desires for a bit, allowing Soarin the wonderbolt to come out.

Soarin shakes her head. "Wha…Blitz, what are you doing here?"

"Well this is my castle." Blitz says.

Soarin looks around confused. "What? But why am I here? I still…wait, my home?" She asks herself while holding a hoof to her head. Blitz sits and waits until it all comes back to her. "My home, Spitfire, oh that bitch!" She yelled.

"How much do you remember now?" Blitz asks.

Soarin groans. "That bitch Spitfire, changing me, then…then…you." She said looking at him. Blitz was waiting for her to finish. "You…oh buck what did I do?"

Blitz smiles a bit.

Soarin looks at him. "We did, didn't we?"

"You mean did I do you?" Blitz asks casually.

Soarin nods. "Yeah, all I remember from that is, well, you on me."

"Moaning and begging me to keep going." Blitz says.

Soarin blushes and looks away. "Um…yeah."

"And now since Spitfire and Twilight cause this, we have to take responsibility for it." Blitz says.

Soarin looks up at him. "What do you mean?"

Blitz lays beside her as she joins him on the bed. "I will take care of you." Blitz says.

Soarin blushes and quickly looks away. "I…can take care of myself." Blitz starts petting her mane. She squeaks and then sighs in relief and starts purring and leaning into his petting. "That's…that's nice."

"You can't really leave now. Anyways your body is addicted to me. Note the wing boner you have." Blitz says.

Soarin was too busy purring away as she lays down beside him.

"And you can't control your purring from my contact with you." Blitz says stopping his petting.

Soarin whines at the loss of being petted and looks to him for more.

Blitz pats her head and waits for her to regain enough of her wit to process what he had said and reply.

Soarin shakes her head. "I…don't need anypony."

"We all need somepony Soarin. Besides, what if you get pregnant now? We didn't use protection." Blitz says.

Soarin goes wide eyed and looks to in shock. "What? But I…?"

"Twilight was quite through with the spell. You are fully a mare in body including reproduction." Blitz says.

Soarin groans and brings her head down. "No. That's it. My life is done."

"It's not done until you are dead. I mean you still have your career. Look at Spitfire, she is pregnant, but she hasn't given up her position." Blitz says.

Soarin keeps looking at him. "Why me?"

Blitz says nothing and hugs her.

Soarin gulps as Blitz just keeps holding her. "Maybe…maybe I can stay here for a bit."

"You can even join the family if you want." Blitz says starting to pet her again.

Soarin tries to smile. "May…maybe."

"Also puts you in range to prank Spitfire till the end of time as payback." Blitz says.

Soarin now smiles widely. "Oh yeah. She deserves it."

"So what do you say?" Blitz asks.

Soarin smiles gently to him now. "Sure, if I can be with you for a few days. Help me through this."

"I will help, but you will need experts in the feminine way to help you through most of it." Blitz says.

Soarin frowns. "As long as you keep that bitch and princess from me."

"You will have to deal with them eventually, but they won't be helping you through this if you don't want." Blitz says.

Soarin sighs and lays her head down on her hooves. "I just…I can't…not yet." She said finally.

"Ok, I have two mares that will start helping you out right now." Blitz says before clapping his hooves as a signal and Rarity and Rainbow enter.

Soarin looks up at them. "Wha…but why them?"

"Rainbow is a member of the wonderbolts and an expert flier so she can help you there and Rarity knows clothes and you are already wearing feminine clothes." Blitz says.

Soarin looks at herself and blushes and tries to cover herself up.

"I'll leave you girls to it." Blitz says getting up and walks out.

"Whoa, never thought I would be doing this for one of my old crushes." Rainbow says as Blitz walks past.

Soarin looks at her in shock. "Wha…old crush?"

"Yeah, I had a big crush on you. Didn't you notice at the Grand Galloping Gala?" Rainbow asks.

Soarin looks away a bit. "Um…well. Thought you were a crazy fan."

Rainbow laughs unamused by that. "Well enough talk about that. Come on, we are going to the spa so you can learn a little about being a mare." Rarity says before poofing Soarin's clothes away.

Soarin squeaks as they approach her.

Blitz sighs as he heads down the hall to main room. "This is nice. And we got a new member. A bit not the way we intended, but good all the same. Now then, I feel like some food."

"Still can't believe Twilight went along with that. Especially when she knew Spitfire was steamen…will having my brother's boyfriend here be a problem?" Applejack asks.

"Oh Jackie, they broke up over half a year ago and Big Mac is seeing the local teacher mare." Blitz says.

Applejack looks at him. "Really, that must have been painful."

"Oh Soarin is still coming to terms with it. So how are you and the little one?" Blitz asks rubbing her stomach.

Applejack smiles and looks to it. "Oh just fine. Just needs some food."

Blitz nods. "Yes, we will get some…" He stops as a few knocks came to the door. "Oh visitor." He said walking over with Applejack and opens the door and looks up to a heavily cloaked pony looking down at him. "Um…can I help you?"

The pony tilts its head and looks to Applejack under its hood before looking at him. "Is the other elements of harmony here?" The pony, a stallion, asks.

Blitz raises an eyebrow and watches him carefully. "Yes." He said carefully. "Why?"

They seem to see the stallion grin under his hood even though his face was completely covered. "Oh, just need to see something." He said before Applejack groans in pain. "Just need to see."

Blitz clicks his tongue. "You doing that?" Blitz asks.

The stallion chuckles. "What do you think?" He asks and moves his hoof slightly and Applejack groans more as she lays down on the ground.

"I think you don't know who you are fucking with." Blitz says before the stallion is started to be lifted off his hooves, feeling as though he is being choked.

The stallion growls though his choking and lifts a hoof at him before Blitz gets knocked into the wall behind him and the stallion gets placed back down as Applejack coughs one last time and an orange colored orb comes out of her mouth and he holds it over his hoof. "And you have no idea what my intentions are."

"No, but I do know you're dead." Blitz says tackling him and knocking the orb out of his hoof as he wrestles with the stallion.

The stallion grins. "So this is the great Blitzkrieg, aka, Southern Cross being heard across the galaxy. Nice to meet you." He said making his hindlegs get under him and kicks Blitz off. "And it's about to be your biggest chance at something special." He said as Blitz hears hooves running from the castle.

Blitz smirks, touching his communicator.

The stallion looks down and sees some charges on his chest and clicks his tongue. "Not bad. Not bad at all." He said as the other mares came to the door and he swipes his hoof in their direction before the charges explode.

Blitz sighs. "And that's tha…girls?" He asks looking over to the rest of the mane six and sees them groaning in pain. "Crap." He said to himself and looks to the dust cloud and sees the stallion coughing as he waves the smoke away.

"Never was one for smoking or even drinking. Stop having fun soon enough." He said dusting his chest.

"Oh, still alive? Tell me, do you know an element that can make a nice bomb, but also douses the victim in flammable material?" Blitz asks.

The stallion chuckles. "I don't know. You tell me. You are the one with the charges and bombs on your belt." He said all the mares stay to lie down.

"Zavarious. And all it takes is a spark near you." Blitz says striking a match.

The stallion sighs as he burst into flames. "Oh boy. You really know how to make things fun."

"Oh and not only does it burn, it also acts like acid to organic creatures. Tell me, how does that feel?" Blitz asks.

The stallion chuckles as he calmly walks out and brushes the flames off of him. "You do realize that if doesn't work, you try another tactic. Just upping the ante doesn't do well for the same weapon."

"Maybe, if that wasn't a distraction if they didn't work. I believe they should have infected you enough by now." Blitz says.

The stallion stretches his hooves as Blitz can see he has a black coat on them. "Oh boy. Easy fix. Matt." He calls and spits out a glob of black liquid. "Have friends on the other side." He sang.

"You are not a normal organic. That would kill nearly anything." Blitz says now glaring.

The stallion grins. "What gave you that idea? The fact I can take your mares' elements without trouble or the fact I can survive your tricks and nicks." He said as he holds up a hoof and holds six orbs of different color.

"Terran, feed." Blitz says.

The stallion turns his head to the varren in time to lose his front left hoof. "Pity. Because, this isn't something that you can beat me with." He said as Terran rushes him again and the stallion just calmly stands there and he runs through a sudden portal in front of him and it disappears. "He'll be fine."

"I know, he can tear through reality itself to get at something." Blitz says actually getting an unnerved reaction. "You got two minutes before he gets back." Blitz says.

The stallion smiles. "I doubt that. He must be enjoying himself now. Besides, I've been looking for something like him and that's the thing. Who knew you had him all along?"

"He came to me and look behind you." Blitz says and the stallion actually sees reality crack a little.

"Oh, they can't keep him calm." The stallion said still being strangely calm. "How about a little mano e mano?" He said turning his accent into another halfway. "Winner keeps the elements."

"You don't have the ability to show other emotions, do you?" Blitz asks.

The stallion looks around and digs into his cloak and takes out a watch tied to a chained. "Huh, running a little early. All right. Next step." He said happily and then slouches a bit. "Next step!" He yells to the sky and a flash occurred before something fell in front of Blitz and he sees his aerial armor in front of him. "Better! Get it right next time birdbrain!" He yells to the sky before looking to Blitz. "Now we can have some fun." He said reaching into his cloak again and takes out a long katana blade that was black like Blazer's.

"This armor was destroyed." Blitz says looking back at him. "You played that card too early." Blitz says now suspicious.

The stallion chuckles as he walks around the break in reality and soon Terran breaks through and quickly turns around and stares at the stallion before he sits calmly like a dog and the stallion walks up and pets his head as he passes by. "Because we are going to have fun. Isn't that grand?" He asks actually holding his hooves together like a filly and doing a pose before Blitz sees black wings come out behind him and he takes off a bit. "You going to join or what?"

"Kind of hard to dance little girl with three hooves." Blitz reminds.

The stallion groans and seems to shake his head before showing all four of his hooves. "Now you going to put it on. Come on, don't you want your wives' elements back?"

"Something occurs to me." Blitz says as Terran joins him.

The stallion looks over his sword as if he found something on it. "What is that?" He asks scratching a certain part.

"Like I said, you tipped your hand too soon. I already figured out this is in my mind." Blitz says smirking as the orbs disappear.

The stallion turns to look at him. "Oh, pity. But then we are going to need to do this." He said before he disappears from thin air and Blitz closes his eyes and opens them to see he was in front of the door again and the stallion was standing there with mandalorians pointing their weapons at him.

"Not that easy." Blitz says as the stallion was forced back into his mind to his confusion.

The stallion scratches his head. "Strange. That usually works. How weird that some strong mind other than the jedi…and the spirits…and the gods…hm…"

"And Terran the devour." Blitz says.

The stallion looks down. "Oh yeah, but you forget one thing."

"You're trapped now." Blitz says smirking.

The stallion turns back to his sword. "Is that your honor speaking or just unjust anger yelling out through your mouth than your own mind?"

"No, that is tactical thinking because you most likely had a backup plan and have my girls targeted as we speak." Blitz says unhappy.

The stallion laughs as he throws his head back and keeps laughing maniacally. "You…you think I was going to take them out? Are you crazy?" He asks still laughing. "You're an unjust idiot. One that doesn't walk the world and metal very well. One with something still unanswered. What the heck am I?"

"Ah…no, I didn't, but I expected you to take them captive to either extend this game…or is this a test?" Blitz asks.

The stallion looks down his blade from its end. "Hum…well…let's see. I ask you if the elements were here, not their names or if they're females. Then I proceeded to take out their elements without trouble and sent beloved Terran to another spot in the universe. What do you think?" He asks dryly on the last question.

"You're either like Discord and have a dry sense of humor and too much free time or have an agenda." Blitz says.

The stallion hums and brings a hoof to his face under the hood. "No to the first one, though he is a barrel of laughs. Barrels!" He yells before looking calm. "Sometimes I do to the second one and no to the third because I'm running large amount of things in my head for such a long time and the last, could be counted. Though I do need to know how to make the perfect lobster. I wonder if God has the answer."

"Terran, boot him out of my head." Blitz says dryly.

The stallion chuckles as Terran tackles him as they both disappear and Blitz shakes his head before closing his eyes again and opens them to see them both surrounded by changelings and mandalorians aimed at the stallion who was busy fiddling with a Rubik's cube. "How hard can this be?" He asks like he doesn't know about the soldiers around him.

"You, out, now." Blitz says.

The stallion looks to him. "Oh hi. I see you woken up. And no. We aren't done."

"Terran killing you and devouring you says otherwise." Blitz says.

The stallion shakes his head. "Trust me. You don't want to do that."

"Or what, the guardians of the galaxy will come to the planet?" Blitz asks sarcastically.

The stallion groans. "Man, Matt was right. You really are a headache. I don't know why I took care of this sector anyway. Boys! And girls." He said calmly as a portal appeared above them. "Question, do you want to have an epic space battle?" He asks still playing with the cube. "Besides that little trope is kinda short. Might make a comeback soon enough. Just give the company some time."

Blitz frowns. "Yeah…" He drones out. "No."

The stallion shrugs. "Oh pity. And here I was hoping of using my new toy." He said as some bags came through.

"You used it a lot." A voice said before a rather large snow white owl came through and picks up a laptop and stood bipedal and actually holds it with his wing and starts typing with his other wing feathers.

The stallion scoffs. "Not much. Just that one time and it was boring. I need a match up."

"Great, another one." Blitz says.

The owl looks up before all the weapons on the mandalorians beep and they look and shake it as the lights on it goes out. "Never make everything with electricity. Easy to deal with."

Soon more bags fell through. "Please, you can't even make a proper sandwich." A female voice said as another bipedal figure fell through and they see a fox looking animal with twelve tails.

The stallion shrugs. "That's what we have you for."

"Kitsune." Blitz says before the female slapped the stallion.

"Ow." The stallion said and looks to her. "What the fuck? Hello, I'm doing what I'm supposed to." He said while waving his hooves widely.

The kitsune rolls her eyes. "You still can't get things right. You didn't even lock the mind correctly. Do I need to get Lati?" The stallion waves her off and goes back to his cube. "Lati!" The kitsune yells.

"I'm coming. I'm coming." Another female voice said with a slight country accent and a cat like creature with pink fur came down with a long tail that was split in two at the end and long waist length hair. "How did he fuck up now?"

The kitsune scoffs. "Not getting the mind lock right."

Lati groans and knocks the stallion on the head. "Idiot."

The stallion huffs. "Please. You two weren't saying that when I was busy with you all."

They both blush and hit him over the head. "Shut up." They both yelled.

"I'm here and…I'm stuck." Another female voice said with a British accent and they see a scaly leg with clawed feet dangle through the portal. The stallion's hood falls off of his head as his horn lights up and pulls the leg down and they see a blue bipedal dragon with more dragon in some areas than others.

"Like the place?" He asks scratching his white mane as he tries to figure out the cube.

The dragon looks around. "Needs a bit of touch up."

"Out!" Blitz says as Terran shoots a black ball out of his mouth at them.

A black wall suddenly drops in front of them as the ball hits it and then the wall gets sucked into a cylinder being carried by a bipedal black coated wolf with some ninja garb. "I told you this video game wall works." The owl said as he was still typing away.

The wolf huffs. "What did you to piss this guy off?" The wolf, now female with an Asian accent asks.

The stallion shrugs. "Went after the spirit pieces in his wives'."

Now all the females slap him. "You're an idiot." They all said.

The owl looks up. "Where is she?" He asks before another bipedal form went through and they see it has the form of a red falcon. "Ah, good. You have my tech?"

The falcon sighs. "Here. The mech is ready too." She said giving him a glove with lines running through it with her wing to his.

The stallion chuckles once. "The gang's all here. Now we can get down it business."

"Oh." Blitz says before the head of the stallion rolls off his shoulders and onto the floor.

All of the whole group just stares at the stallion. "Not again." Lati said groaning. "How long did this take?"

The kitsune shrugs. "I think it was ten, no five."

The stallion chuckles as his head was suddenly on his body again like nothing ever happen. "Geez, this one got a temper." He says before two knives went through his eyes.

The stallion just pulls them out and twirls the knives around as his eyes looked their normal red self. "You can stop. You can't kill us. Besides, it's a bad idea for your sake as well."

"Oh no, keep going, I like seeing someone else hurt you."

The stallion rolls his eyes. "Geez, you really are hard to work with. Does your men have the same problem? I swear, Satan himself doesn't have this much trouble."

Blitz just stares at him as he fell apart to tiny pieces. "Finally." He said before the females bring up a curtain around the pieces and then removes it to reveal the stallion standing there again. "Stop." He said in a bored voice. "Just stop and take a moment. You need to at least let us relax and take in the area." He said still working the cube.

Lati sighs. "Look, your wives' are fine. They got their elements back. Just let us mess around here and we'll be on our way."

"Maybe not fast enough." The stallion chimes in.

Blitz just stares at him before placing a charge on him and it explodes and the stallion was sent into the ground before he groans and gets up wipes off the dust and grime. "Again? Come on."

Blitz throws his hooves up in frustration. "Dang it. I give up with you."

They all stare at each other as no one said anything. "So what now?" Matt asks.

"Done!" The stallion cheers as he holds out a finished cube. "And let's head inside. It's getting a bit chilly."

Blitz just stares at them as his eye twitches. "Make some food for our guest and no one is to see them." He said walking back in with them following.

"Okay, what the buck happened?" Applejack asks as she got up in the hospital bed.

"Nothing Jackie, you just hit your head when you slipped." Blitz says at her side.

Applejack moans and shakes her head a little. "You sure? I remember something about a visitor."

"No, that was me telling you about Soarin." Blitz says.

Applejack thinks on it. "Oh yeah. How is he, I mean she?"

"She hasn't returned from the spa with Rainbow and Rarity. The former, I'm surprised, went." Blitz says.

Applejack chuckles. "Yeah, that's Rainbow. Too much of a stallion to go to a spa."

"And yet she went." Blitz says.

Applejack shrugs. "Aw well. At least she finally enjoy a good hooficure."

Blitz nearly burst out laughing. "I think not Jackie, more like she got into the hot tub or steam bath." Blitz says.

Applejack smirks. "Or maybe a good redo of her mane."

Blitz gives her a blank look. "Rainbow gets her mane done?" Blitz asks.

Applejack gives him the same look. "No." She said before smirking. "She does like being petted."

"See?" Blitz asks.

Applejack chuckles and hugs him. "Love ya Blitzy."

"Love you and love you." Blitz says to Applejack than to her stomach.

Applejack nuzzles him. "I think the little one is trying to say love you too."

"Ok, you rest up, ok?" Blitz asks.

Applejack nods. "Sure and I think somepony else wants to spend time with you." She said looking to the door and they see Arcane and Azure there.

"Dad?" They both ask.

"Hey you two." Blitz says walking over before getting to eye level.

They both smile. "Can we play?" They both ask.

"Of course we can." Blitz says picking the two up.

They both smile and hang onto his back as Blitz and Applejack wave at each other before he heads off. "Can we play a board game?" Azure asks.

Arcane smile. "Yeah, like the one mom plays with mom."

"Oh you mean chutes and ladders." Blitz says walking out of the room with them.

They both nod. "Yeah, it has too many snakes." Azure said.

"Come on you two and maybe you will meet your new mother soon." Blitz says.

They both look to each other confused. "New mother?"

"Yeah." Blitz says before nuzzling both.

They both stayed confused as Blitz walks into a closet and grabs a box before heading to the game room. "Anypony here?" He asks and sees Soarin talking with Pinkie. "Hey girls. How's it going?" Blitz asks before seeing Soarin's new mane style. "Hello hot stuff." He said putting the box on a nearby table.

Soarin smile. "Hi Blitz."

"Arcane, Azure, meet your newest mother." Blitz says.

They both wave at her as they stay confused. "Who are you?" Arcane asks.

"I'm Soarin…wait, mother?" Soarin asks confused.

"Yeah, you agreed to become a part of the family. That means my wife and mother to all the foals." Blitz says.

Soarin looks over herself. "Do I…need to be married?"

"You are technically now. Twilight has the power to do that being a princess." Blitz says sitting next to her as Arcane jumps onto her.

Soarin looks back to Arcane. "And what about them?"

"Momma?" Arcane asks.

"He summed it up." Blitz says.

Soarin keeps watching Arcane till she smiles. "Yeah, momma."

Azure smirks and flashes her his fangs.

Soarin sweats. "Um…do I need to be worried?"

"No, though I might nip at you." Blitz whispers into her ear.

Soarin blushes and moves away a bit. "Um…okay."

"Oh Blitzy, I will be unavailable tonight. Me, Sunshine, and my sisters are going to have something like a sleepover." Pinkie says.

Blitz smiles. "Sure, go enjoy being with your family."

Pinkie giggles and kisses his cheek and hugs him as Sunshine hugs Arcane and Azure. "Thanks Blitzy. Come on Sunshine. We have to pack." She said taking Sunshine and leaving with Sunshine waving at them.

"That leaves the four of us." Blitz says.

Soarin whimpers a bit as Azure and Arcane crawl over her. "Help."

"Oh, what is wrong mommy?" Blitz asks smirking.

Soarin glares a bit. "Help me." She whispered.

"Come here you two." Blitz says going over.

They both smile and hugs him as Blitz picks them up. "Can we play now?" Azure asks.

Blitz chuckles and sets up the game. "Want to join Soarin?" Blitz asks as the foals choose their pieces.

"Fine." Soarin says.

"Oh, what is this, they are all tuckered out." Blitz says looking at the two sleeping colts.

Soarin smiles. "That was…actually fun."

"Come on, let's put the two of them to bed then we can have some more fun." Blitz says running a hoof along her flank.

Soarin blushes and shivers. "Um…sure." She said picking up Azure gently as Blitz carried Arcane and they went to their room and put them to bed. "So how was I?" She asks as they walk in the room.

"Good." Blitz say covering them up before walking to his room with Soarin.

Soarin smiles as she tries to look at him. "Thanks for…staying with me. I never had anypony like this…well…unlike him." She said blushing and looking away.

Blitz smirks before throwing her onto the bed.

Soarin yelps and lands on the bed before looking up at him. "Um…Blitz…"

Blitz captures her lips and starts dominating her in the kiss. Soarin goes wide eyed before falling into it and moaning a bit and falls slack as Blitz starts to grab hold of her hooves to the bed.

"You know, Twilight told me something interesting." Blitz says starting to remove his clothes.

Soarin tries to look at him. "Wha…what is it?"

"Your body isn't fully done yet, but after this session, it should be. Because every time you act feminine, it speeds up the spell." Blitz says.

Soarin groans as she tries to get up. "But…I…I…can't…"

"Didn't you notice your flank was bigger and curvier this morning?" Blitz asks.

Soarin blinks before shaking her head. "No, I'm just a dumb mare."

"Soarin, I might not play with you if you lie to me." Blitz says.

Soarin gulps and tries to look at him. "Ye…yes. It was getting bigger and now I'm starting to look like a bimbo."

"No, just more developed as a result of you acting like a mare last night when we played." Blitz say finishing striping.

Soarin blushes heavily as he sees his form again. "I…I just…I…"

"Soarin, come here." Blitz says waiting with open hooves, getting back on the bed.

Soarin was still blushing as she carefully crawls over and he grabs her into a hug as Soarin was frozen in a bit of shock. Blitz smiles as he starts petting her. Soarin goes wide eyed before purring and leaning into his touch. Blitz chuckles as he holds a hoof on her flank and feels it grow a bit more. "Good girl." He said kissing her cheek.

Soarin keeps purring before she felt her nipples get a little heavier.

Blitz smiles and nuzzles her before feeling around her flank as he kept petting and soon feels her breasts actually a little bigger than last time. "Wow, what have you been eating?"

Soarin doesn't respond as she keeps purring and her coat, mane and tail become more lustrous. "You have beautiful hair." Blitz whispers into her ear.

Soarin shivers as she nuzzles him and smiles. "My stallion."

"Good girl." Blitz says feeling the heat coming from her flank.

Soarin moans and grinds her flank against him. "My stallion. My Blitzy."

"Ok, my mare." Blitz whispers into her ear before nipping it softly.

Soarin moans as she rested against him. "Use me." She whispered in his ear.

"Beg me to mount you and take you." Blitz says.

Soarin sighs heavily as she felt her tail being pulled a bit. "Take me." She whispered.

Blitz smirks before mounting her tight flank.

Soarin yelps as she felt something poking her. "Wha…Blitz…?" She asks trying to look at him.

"Shh. Enjoy this my mare." Blitz says before starting to feel her flank grow a little more.

Soarin groans and puts her head down on the bed and just tries to breath. "My stallion. My stallion is using me." She moans with her tongue hanging out.

Blitz smirks as her flank stopped growing and started tightening and condensing into a very well-toned flank.

Soarin tries to turn her head at him. "My stallion?"

"Your body is finished and you are now mine forever." Blitz says stopping and coming in her.

Soarin moans and has her eyes roll up a bit before they start to close. "I…love you…my stallion." She said before fully closing them and snoring.

Blitz smirks and smacks her flank.

Soarin yelps and jumps a little. "Huh…what…my stallion?" She asks looking at him.

"Not done yet Soarin. We have much more fun to do." Blitz says before using his magic to playfully twist her nipples.

Soarin moans as she feels them being pulled and tightened as Blitz strokes her flank. "My stallion?"

"No, it's my Blitzy." Blitz says withdrawing before turning her around.

Soarin groans and tries to look through the haze on her eyes and sees his growth. "My Blitzy?" She asks a bit confused.

"Good girl." Blitz says bring her head onto his staff.

Soarin moans before starting to lick around it and mumbles a bit. "Stallion…Blitzy…stallion?"

Blitz, taking advantage of her open mouth, stick his staff into it.

Soarin coughs as he goes a bit deeper and she just tries to swallow it down. "Mugh." She tries to say as she looks up at him. Blitz pets her mane as she starts to suck. Soarin moans every time she moves up and down on him and he places a hoof on her head and kept petting her. Soarin keeps looking at him with glazed eyes as he smiles at her and moves the tuft of mane out of her eyes. Soarin keep sucking away until it started to throb and soon felt a warm fluid run down her throat before he pulls out and covers her slightly.

"So good. So warm." Soarin said lustfully with her mouth full.

"Good girl, now it is time for your marehood." Blitz says.

Soarin swallows the rest of the fluid and tries to lift a hoof at him. "My mare…"

Blitz takes the hoof and turns her over before mounting her again.

Soarin tries to turn her head at him before feeling his head lean down against his right side as he started to kiss her cheek and neck. "Your choice, fast and hard or slow and lovingly." Blitz said kissing her neck.

Soarin moans and looks to him. "Use me…whatever you want."

Blitz smirks.

Soarin groans as the alarm goes off at 7:03. She tries to reach for it to turn it off but finds herself unable to move and a warm weight on her back. "Not again." She whispered as she sees Blitz's head near hers and draped over her back.

Soarin squirms around before finally making Blitz roll over and moans as he pulls out of it and feels a warm fluid run down her legs. "How much did we do?" She asks herself as she looks to her body and sees red marks all over her. "How hard did we do?"

"The way you like it Soarin. Do you remember what I said last night?" Blitz asks pulling her into his hooves.

Soarin squeaks as she was pulled against him. "Um…not really."

"It was about your body. Ring any bells?" Blitz asks.

Soarin thinks back as she nuzzles him until she stops. "Fast and hard or slow and lovingly."

"No before that, it involved the spell." Blitz says.

Soarin looks to him. "Spell? Wha…the turn me into a full mare spell." She said trying to smack her forehead, but can't move her hooves and sees it tied up.

"Yeah, look at your now fully developed flank." Blitz says rubbing it.

Soarin looks down and sees her flank even bigger than before and wider than Blitz's and very toned. "I'm a bimbo." She said putting her head onto the bed.

"No, you're an athlete. Fluttershy's is much bigger and she isn't one." Blitz says before kissing her.

Soarin tries to kiss back before trying to push him off and he lets go. "Yes?"

Soarin brings her tied hooves into view. "Can you untie me?"

Blitz smirks and uses his magic to untie her. "Now your breasts have also gone from a pre-mare's to a grown mare's." Blitz says.

Soarin sighs as she rubs her hooves. "Yeah and now my life is over."

"Soarin, what have I said about that?" Blitz asks her.

Soarin sighs and looks at him. "You know what? I just don't care about it anymore. If you want, use me anytime you need to."

"No, I want Soarin, not a sex toy." Blitz says.

Soarin blushes heavily and looks away a bit. "Then, what's with the rope? I don't remember that."

Blitz nuzzles her. "You wanted to be tied. Lose your sense of fighting back. Don't worry, I made sure you didn't get hurt."

Soarin nods. "Thank you, but…I'm unsure."

"You don't believe you asked that? I can show you the memory." Blitz says smirking.

Soarin looks at him and looks down a bit and goes wide eye. "Um…"

"I know a spell that can share memories." Blitz says. "What were you thinking my naughty mare?"

Soarin quickly looks away and turns over. "I just don't want to lose my old stallion self."

"You haven't." Blitz says before trailing kisses along her neck.

Soarin shivers. "Wha…what do you mean?"

"You are still you." Blitz says before holding her and feeling her wings wrap around him.

Soarin turns around a bit and rewraps her wings around them. "Blitzy?" She asks looking at him.

"Yes?" Blitz asks.

Soarin puts her hooves on his chest and feels the long time scars on it. "I…I want you to…take me one night, no holds barred…whatever you want."

"Alright my mare and wife." Blitz says before kissing her and dominating it as he holds her body in his hooves.

Soarin moans and tries to push him away a little. "And…tie me up, use me. I want a loving stallion, but also a furious one."

"Ok, now come look at the finished you." Blitz says.

Soarin sits up as Blitz leads her to a full body mirror and she sees the smallish mare standing there. "Wow…I look…"

"Gorgeous?" Blitz asks as she brushes and feels her new more lustrous mane.

Soarin turns to look at him with a smile. "I feel like a mare that any stallion would want to take right on the streets."

"But you are mine." Blitz says as she feels her new tail.

Soarin then turns around and looks at her flank though messy. "Yeah and to do as you please."

"And now what do you think my wife?" Blitz asks as she feels her new coat.

Soarin feels herself over and moves down to her flank and smirks a little and bends down. "How about taking me right here?" Soarin asks smirking thinking he wouldn't.

Blitz says nothing and the next thing Soarin felt was him entering her.

Soarin moans looks down between her legs and sees the mirror showing what is happening. "Wow…hot flank…big one."

"And nice and tight." Blitz says starting to thrust into her.

Soarin moans as she kept watching the mirror and she looks slightly to the door as it opened a little and Rainbow walks in. "Shut the door!" She yells to which Rainbow rushes back out and shuts the door.

"Now is that any way to talk to you sister now Soarin? Do I need to punish you?" Blitz asks.

Soarin moans and looks under them again. "Yes, do it. Punish me."

Blitz smirks and smacks her flank.

Soarin yelps and brings her head up as her eyes rolls upward. "Keep doing it. Punish me. I'm a bad mare."

"Oh, let me help." Rainbow says before capturing Soarin's lips.

Soarin moans into the kiss as Blitz kept slapping her flank and yells into the kiss each time. "How does she taste?" Blitz asks.

"Not bad." Rainbow says as Blitz pulls out, allowing Rainbow to mount her from the top exposing both of them to Blitz.

Blitz chuckles. "Alright, but you may feel warm there all day once we finish." He said entering Rainbow and she moans and starts kissing Soarin's neck.

Soarin moans and follows instinct and starts grinding her flank against Rainbow's and her nipples against her.

Rainbow grits her teeth to stop anything more and looks back at him. "Hurry up."

"Oh, who is in control here?" Blitz asks going slower.

Rainbow groans and bites her lip. "Hurry up." She groans out.

"Who is in control?" Blitz asks continuing at the pace before slapping her tight flank.

Rainbow yelps and moans and brings her head down. "You are." She said defeated.

"Good girl." Blitz says kissing the back of her ear and speeding up. He soon comes into Rainbow before withdrawing and reentering Soarin as Rainbow and Soarin kept making out.

Soarin moans as she separates and looks to Rainbow. "Why did you come here?"

"To pick you up. Spitfire said we needed to get you fitted for your new uniforms." Rainbow says before capturing her lips again.

Soarin nods before moaning out loud as Blitz slapped her flank and came into her as well. "I'm good to go. Ow."

Blitz sighs as he pulls out. "Get washed up. I'll get my own and check on everypony."

"Oh this will be a fun shower." Rainbow says kissing Soarin's cheek.

Blitz chuckles. "Oh girls. How much I love you, you'll never know."

"I'll be on top for you." Rainbow says rubbing her marehood against Soarin's.

Soarin giggles a little. "Oh wow. I didn't realize mares were so fun."

"Oh, you don't know the half of it." Rainbow says starting to smack Soarin's flank.

Soarin smiles and tries to get up. "Can we get washed up?"

Rainbow smirks leading the way and proceeded to dominate Soarin in lesbian sex in the shower as the wash.

Blitz smiles as he soaks in the tub and washes up. "How is she?"

"She's learning." Rainbow calls.

Blitz nods and turns to them. "And how is she on you?"

"No." Rainbow says on top of Soarin who had a drunk look.

Blitz nods and smiles. "Go easy. She just had a rough night."

"Not how I or she rolls. Now call me mistress Rainbow." Rainbow says smacking Soarin's flank.

Soarin yelps. "Mis…stress Rainbow."

"Good girl." Rainbow says washing their manes.

Blitz chuckles as he gets out and dries himself off. "Thanks for the time girls. Now I gotta go check up on things." He said heading out.

It was night as Blitz was sitting in his office reviewing papers when there was a knock at his door. "It's me Soarin."

Blitz smiles. "Come in."

The door opened and Soarin entered wearing a pair of dark blue biker shorts, a skirt, and a top that hugged her curves.

Blitz wolf whistles. "Hello hot flank. Get that piece over here."

"Like it? Special order from Rarity." Soarin says closing the door and walks over to him.

Blitz chuckles. "Yeah. I really like it. It looks real good for me to use. Oh yeah." Blitz says feeling up her flank through her biker shorts.

Soarin raises her flank to him. "Like how it looks for your spot?"

"Yeah, so you finally liking being a mare?" Blitz asks as she sits in his lap.

Soarin sighs as she leans into him. "Only for you. You know, I like what you do at me. Take away my chance to fight, using me however you want, though you should really work on that."

"But I see you are dressing like a mare now." Blitz says.

Soarin blushes. "Yeah, but it still feels like something is missing."

"Soarin, we got your new uniform." Fleetfoot says walking in.

Blitz smirks. "Come on hot stuff. Put that and let's see if you can really show it off." He said rubbing her flank.

"Alright. Though I might need your help Fleetfoot." Soarin says getting off.

Blitz chuckles as Soarin struggles a bit to get into the uniform, but soon zips it up and looks herself over. "Hugs the right places. Don't you think?"

"It's supposed to, it is skin tight." Soarin says messing with her mane so it wouldn't get in her eyes and ended up looking like Spitfire and Fleetfoot's mane.

Blitz grins. "Okay, now get over here hot flank. I kinda want to know what you think also."

"Which one me or Soarin here?" Fleetfoot asks.

Blitz points at her. "You're being slightly punished for allowing this to happen to her."

"Was not involved, that was all Spitfire. Which reminds me, I wonder if the rest of the stallions in the wonderbolts have finally gotten their jaws off the ground?" Fleetfoot thinks out loud.

Soarin blushes and hides behind her mane a bit after she brought it down again.

"So you going with the style me and Spitfire use when flying huh?" Fleetfoot asks.

Soarin frowns. "Shut up about that bitch." She hissed.

"Gonna have to deal with her eventually and she is sorry about she did." Fleetfoot says.

Soarin huffs and looks away from her.

"Soarin?" Blitz asks picking her up with his magic.

Soarin still frowns as Blitz hugs her and nuzzles her slightly. "Fine. She's forgiven, but the bitch is not."

"Just no pranks on her while pregnant." Blitz says petting her as Fleetfoot sits on his lap as well.

Soarin groans as she just leans against him and looks away from them.

"So you bout ready to practice with Rainbow to get back to flying at wonderbolt level with your new body?" Fleetfoot asks.

Soarin keeps looking away as Blitz sighs. "Soarin, for me." He asks.

Soarin sighs in defeat.

Blitz smiles and nuzzles her. "That's my mare."

"And don't you forget it." Soarin says flicking her tail.

Blitz smirks as he looks over to Fleetfoot. "Yeah, I won't. Now do you remember who your stallion is?" He asks pulling Soarin's tail.

"You." Soarin says leaning back into him as he pets both her and Fleetfoot.

Blitz sighs as he moves a little down. "I love my family."

"And it's getting bigger." Fleetfoot says.

"And whose fault is that?" Blitz asks.

Fleetfoot groans as Soarin smirks a bit. "Yeah, this is a pretty cool family." She said while making her tail wrap around his neck.

"How are you so good at controlling that?"

Soarin smirks. "Simple, need to control my direction while flying."

"Yeah, Soarin is the only one we know of that can control it that well." Fleetfoot says.

Soarin looks back at him slightly. "Can you…hold me a little closer?"

"So Soarin…you tell your parents and little sister about this yet?" Fleetfoot asks.

Soarin scoffs. "Like they would like me now. They already hated me for being another way."

"Except your sister." Fleetfoot reminds.

Soarin presses her lips together. "She doesn't need to know."

"Uh huh." Blitz says.

"Oh, I want to see her make you play dress up." Fleetfoot says smirking.

Soarin frowns as she turns to her. "Shut up."

"Soarin." Blitz says.

"…fine, will write them." Soarin says huffing.

Blitz smiles. "Good mare. Who's your family?"

Soarin just pouts.

Blitz kisses her neck. "Such a cute mare. That I love to…" He whispered into her ear suggestions for new nights that made her blush.

"Oh look at her blush." Fleetfoot says smirking.

Soarin huffs and leans over to his ear. "I need something too."

"Ok, but look who is here." Blitz says seeing Azure holding his stuffed animals in hoof on his desk.

Fleetfoot smiles. "Aw, who's a good colt?" She asks messing with his mane.

"Well Soarin, greet your colt." Blitz says.

Soarin looks over and Azure coos at her before she leans over a bit. "Um…hi?"

Azure smiles and hugs her hoof.

Soarin smiles a bit and pats his head. "Um…good colt."

"Pick him up and hold him." Fleetfoot instructs.

Soarin picks him up and hugs him as Azure hugs her back. "Okay…now what?"

"Let your maternal instincts guide you." Fleetfoot says.

Soarin keeps holding Azure as he keeps hugging and nuzzling her. "Mommy." He said.

Soarin smiles and starts rocking him without noticing it.

Blitz smiles and looks to Fleetfoot. "Why don't you head out and if Pinkie is back yet, tell her we need a welcome party."

"She said she would be too busy for that party till after her sisters leave and Maud is wondering where you are." Fleetfoot says and Blitz starts sweating.

Blitz quickly looks to a nearby clock. "Oh look at the time. I have to go check on something." He said quickly placing both mares onto the ground and speed walks to the door.

"She is in the lounge which is in the same hall as this room." Fleetfoot says.

"I see." Blitz says walking over to the bookcase and pulls on one and the bookcase opens to reveal a pole.

Both mares and Azure just stare at him and the pole. "As Pinkie would say, holy guacamole Batmare. To the Batcave." He said quickly jumping onto the pole. "Later." He said before sliding down and soon heard his screams of pain were heard. "Pole burn! I didn't think this through!"

Fleetfoot snickers as the bookcase closed. "You think we should have told him Pinkie said she was taking them down there?"

Soarin smiles. "Nah. Let him fester."

"So already rocking the eldest to sleep. What will Vinyl and Octavia say to that?" Fleetfoot asks.

Soarin looks to her. "Vinyl and Octavia?"

"Octavia is the one who gave birth to little Azure." Fleetfoot says as Azure yawns as Soarin kept rocking him.

Soarin raises an eyebrow. "Should I be scared?"

"Um…I am unsure." Fleetfoot says thinking.

Soarin just gulps as Azure looks up to her smiling.

"Though Octavia is a vampire and Vinyl is a dhampiresa." Fleetfoot says.

Soarin eeps as Azure giggles at the funny face she made.

Chapter 1 (Part 9): Looking Back

Something has gone wrong. We don't seem to have an archived copy of that chapter.

Chapter 1 (Part 10): Tensions Straining

Disclaimer: We don't own anything we don't own.

"Speaking"

'Thoughts'

"Give me a status report." Blitz says loudly entering the bridge.

Spike raises an eyebrow as he looks to him as he shows a datapad. "Well, everything is loaded and all the fighters and bomber prepped to launch as soon as we exit hyperspace." Spike says.

Blitz nods as he stands near him. "So how's the time up here been going? Not too lonely?"

"It has been long and tedious." Spike says.

"But now it is worth it." Ridley says from his seat.

Spike chuckles. "That's because you got our bounty hunter coming in from time to time."

"That and because now, we get to launch our attack." Ridley says excited.

They both shake their heads at him. "He has been itching to fight in some time. How's Twilight and the others?" Spike asks.

"They are disappointed they can't come along for this first wave assault, but understand when I explained this opening move is a lightning strike attack." Blitz says.

Spike sighs. "What do you expect? They want to be with you and of course they want to come anywhere where you are. You know some of them have fighting experience. Some."

"Not like this." Lightning says watching the clock count down till it hits zero. "Commence operations. All ships warp on my mark!" Blitz orders on all of the communication channels.

Spike sighs as he straps himself in his seat with Ridley and Blitz following. "Let's get this done."

"Mark!" Lightning orders before all twelve ships went into hyperspace.

"Good luck my love." Rainbow says watching the ships warp out from the recently competed space station.

Twilight smiles as she stood by her with everypony else and the foals on their backs. "He'll be back. He's too stubborn for his own good."

"So are they still arguing about the name of our world's first space station?" Rarity asks as Diamond and Night were blown away by the site.

Twilight huffs. "Yes, nopony down on the planet knows what to call it. There is still a major vote on the most popular names right now."

"What about naming it after our planet?" Spitfire asks sitting on a bench resting with the other pregnant mares.

Twilight hums. "Maybe. We haven't had a real planet name in a long time. Satellite one to end of it or change it to fit the name with it." She thought out loud.

"Didn't they have a name for our planet in the galaxy?" Lightning says still not happy her pregnancy forced her to stay behind.

Twilight scratches her head. "Can't remember." She said while Rainbow looks it up on her omnitool.

"Really, our planet is named Equine 2 after one of the inhabitants of the planet." Rainbow says reading the datelog entry on it.

Twilight leans over. "Oh yeah. It is. So maybe Equine Star?" She offered. "E-Star? Eq-Star?"

Rainbow, Blast, Spectrum, and Arcane rolls their eyes at her ways. "Give them the suggestions and we'll see where it goes." Rainbow said typing it all up and gives her the file.

"It's a stupid name, we should come up with a better name." Soarin says.

Arcane was messing with his own mini tablet. "Equality Star?" He offered.

"Oh Arcane." Twilight says happily before hugging him.

Arcane giggles and nuzzles her while hugging her back.

Fluttershy smiles as she carefully walks. "Let's get back down home. I'm sure we got many things to do."

Twilight nods as she keeps nuzzling Arcane. "Yeah, let's go. I'm sure some of you are tired." She said looking to Shadow snoring on her back on a bench.

They all laugh as Shadow snorts. A heavy whine came to from the outside and they see another small ship move fast and past the blockade before hyperspacing where the fleet went.

Spike sighs as he tries to read the report. "So…heading to war. Hard to believe it came this fast. Just finish marking our first official place in the universe."

Blitz nods. "It was inevitable. Though that might be Mandalorian fault as we sped up the process."

"Got the reports." Scootaloo said giving Spike the datapad and making Blitz go wide eyed.

Blitz keeps staring as Spike smiles at the report. "Spike? What is she doing here? And are the others here?" He asks carefully.

"They are our assistants, but mostly to him." Ridley said, his eyes never leaving the window showing hyperspace.

Scootaloo smiles. "Plus we have to keep Spike calm so he can be the best commander he can be."

"No kissing or anything like that." Lightning says.

Spike chuckles nervously. "Yeah, it's sort of their style. It'll be private, don't worry."

"One time and you will have to send them back in accordance with military law." Lightning says.

Spike sighs. "Fine. Tell the other girls sorry, but I can't give them that while we're on business." He said to Scootaloo who nods and walks away.

"Right." Lightning says tuning into the senate session through a spy camera.

Both Spike and Ridley leans in. "What's the bill today?" Ridley asks.

"They are finalizing our defensive treaty." Lightning says.

"As such, shouldn't we not ally with the alliance and the mandalorian clans as they wish to help us in fighting the war?" A senator asks.

"But what about the cost?" A trade federation senator asks.

Ahsoka shakes her head as she listens from the hall. "Would never happen fully. They would rather remain partners than full companions. And forgot the cost. Unless you're a weapons maker, in which case you would still make a profit." She said to herself.

"Politics snips." Anakin says.

Ahsoka rolls her eyes. "And brings out the worst in others."

"Now that's not nice." Anakin said looking to her as she looks back to him with a raised eyebrow. "Okay, that's partly true."

"Oh right, you and your girlfriend is in politics." Ahsoka says getting Anakin back for calling Blitz her boyfriend jokes so many times.

Anakin shakes his head. "She isn't. She's just someone in the senate and who can help with legal trouble."

"Uh huh." Ahsoka says smirking.

Anakin keeps shaking his head. "Now be quiet and listen. It will affect our war."

"Senate members please. We have argued about this for seven days straight, let us end this with a vote." Senator Chuchi of Pantora says.

"A fine idea." Palpatine says.

Ahsoka waited withheld breath. 'This is it. Whether Blitz and the alliance fights with us.' Ahsoka thinks.

Anakin looks to her. "Nervous?"

"This determines if we get help fighting the droids or not." Ahsoka says.

Anakin nods. "Yep, plus to chance to see our new friends again. More so maybe for you."

"Let's hope they choose to ally and not keep us neutral with them." Ahsoka says.

Anakin raises an eyebrow. "But they would be a third party and just have to keep someone close to speak to them."

"Yeah, but what if the seps bribe them with credits if they remain a third party?" Ahsoka points out.

Anakin shrugs. "Then we're on our own from there on out."

"And they attack us?" Ahsoka asks.

Anakin raises an eyebrow her. "You really think they might?"

"It possible if bribed enough." Ahsoka says.

Anakin sighs. "Well, let's just hope they vote yes. Or we're dead in this long drawn out war."

"So even you see that another force could determine this war master." Ahsoka says.

Anakin shakes his head. "No, I just recognize a bigger force that could turn the tide of the war. But then again, we would still have problems even if they say yes. This treaty has them as allies, but still free will to operate as their own. A wild card in the war."

"Like how Mandalorians are in most wars?" Ahsoka asks having brushed up on the mandalorians history since they returned to the temple.

Anakin stares at her carefully. "I should probably restrict your access a bit."

"A little too late now master." Ahsoka says smirking making Anakin smile.

Anakin chuckles. "I taught you well."

"The votes are in and the motion is passed by twelve votes, this motion is passed." Palpatine says as the camera droids broadcasts him signing the treaty.

Ahsoka sighs in relief. "Now we just have to give them a few objectives and hope they follow."

Anakin shrugs. "The only thing we can worry less is them moving to the other side."

Ahsoka raises an eyebrow. "Yeah…worry less."

"And now we can worry more about orders coming in." Blitz said leaning back in his chair.

Spike sighs. "So what's first?"

Blitz brings up a star chart. "This. Our first big battle with the republic for once."

"What about that operation that resulted in the death of Darth Nihilus?" Spike asks.

Blitz grimaces. "We could only hope that they won't instigate any grudge from both sides. That's the last thing we need."

"So what about the fleet sent to take back Pantora? From your mandalorian informants, the jedi leading them is Jedi master Luminara and her padawan, Barriss." Ridley says reading a report.

Blitz raises an eyebrow. "Huh, sounds like strictly honor bound than most."

"Also, not one for unorthodox tactics, more along the books kind of leader. Jedi code rules to be precise." Ridley says as Spike pulls up her file.

"Very well. Communications officer Rush, status on the charge for the silencer." Blitz says looking at a former royal guard unicorn.

Rush sighs as he looks at the screen. "Fifty percent. Could charge quicker, but we sending almost all power to the engines for the warp."

Spike shakes his head. "I doubt I could pull the shield trick with those robots again like I did with Ridley here. At least unless one of them goes suicidal."

"No need." Blitz says before using his amulet to transform into humanoid form. Upon seeing this, Spike noticed that Blitz's armor looked slightly modified to have more of the sith from the last great galactic war.

Ridley raises an eyebrow. "Huh, menacing. You hope to scare them to burst their electronics?"

"No, but I did learn from a sith." Lightning says.

Spike sighs. "Let's hope we can scare most of them. Maybe send one of them frying their electronics from the sight. Though maybe just send your résumé." Spike pondered.

"Not possible with droids lack the ability for they will most likely fight to the end like their programed to." Blitz says.

Ridley smirks a bit. "You mean this programming?" He asks showing a vid of a droid taking a box before tripping one second later as the others shake their heads. "Yeah, fight to the death."

"I never said from bravery, more like stupidity." Blitz says.

Spike chuckles. "Got more?"

"Oh, tons." Ridley says chuckling.

"Not now you two. We exit hyperspace in less than a minute." Blitz says.

"General, the Obsidian has been destroyed and the Orion and the Sapphire are badly damaged. We can't break the blockade." A clone officer reports.

"Understood." Luminara says before turning back to the jedi council. "I know you heard. I am afraid we will not be able to free the people of Pantora. If we do not flee now, we might lose the entire fleet." Luminara says in a monotone voice.

"We know. We are sending backup right now. They should be arriving any second now." Windu said.

Luminara tilts her head. "You found a few republic ships to help in this sector?"

Windu nods. "Yes, we got the reports from them and they finished a mop up in another sector and are able to help."

"We will try and hold out as long as we can." Luminara says.

"Understoo…" Yoda suddenly stopped mid-sentence.

They all look to him. "Something wrong master?" Luminara asks.

"I sense a disturbance in the force." Yoda says.

"General, we have ships dropping out of hyperspace." The clone officer from earlier calls.

Luminara looks back to the council. "Excuse me. I have to talk to our reinforcements." She said quickly switching channels. "This is Luminara. Identify." Luminara says but only receives static on the line.

"I repeat, identify." Luminara repeats, but still nothing.

Before she could make another attempt at hailing, the Darkline dropped out of hyperspace before the rest of the fleet emerged.

Blitz sighs as he sees the action. "Great. Spike, Ridley, you ready in the ops center?" He asks over the comms.

"Ready." Spike replies.

"All fighters and bombers, launch!" Blitz orders before launching the Darkstar One.

All the ships launched from the destroyers and starts to follow Blitz as he pilots to the ensuring fight. "Status on the republic ships?" He asks as he tries to figure out a path.

"There is only two instead of the three reported, but the debris tells me where the third ship is." Ridley says as the Darkline commences attack.

Blitz grunts as he goes up high. "Alright then. Minerva, give me a good bombing run route."

"Calculating." Minerva says hooked up to the Darkstar.

Blitz swerved from oncoming fire. "Calculate faster. We're coming up now. All ships, stay behind me and follow me exactly and try not to hit over each other's bomb unless it's a good spot."

"Course calculated for the second on the right from the middle." Minerva says.

Blitz immediately flies over in that direction as the turrets tries to hit them and the bombers behind him get in a straight line. "Fighters, give us cover."

"Roger that." A pilot says as the fighters engage the vulture droids.

Spike frowns as he keeps watching Blitz's bombing run. "Who's the general we are fighting? Droid?"

"No, too good I think." Ridley says looking through the reports before coming across a spy's report. "Apparently it is one of Dooku's so called dark acolytes." Ridley says.

Spike looks over. "Who and how good is he?"

"Not a he, a she." Ridley says sending Spike the file.

Spike raises an eyebrow and looks it over. "Huh, a former Jedi. This isn't good."

"Maybe, maybe not, but she is good." Ridley says before he and two ships started focusing fire on one of the droid control ships with a barrage of high-grade proton torpedoes.

Spike shakes his head as he keeps looking over the report as the ship starts to blow apart. "Yeah, but the troubling part is the fact she's ex-Jedi. She might know some of the most common tactics."

"Let her use them. It won't be the first time I crushed a Jedi fleet." Ridley says.

Spike clears his throat. "Yeah…let's not mention that around the other Jedi we are friends with."

"War breeds strange bedmates." Ridley says.

Spike chuckles once. "And you would know. You have one with your former enemy."

"Master Yoda, are these my reinforcements?" Luminara asks switching back to the council.

"Strange they are, yes, even though." Yoda said.

"This is not the force that was meant to reinforce your fleet master Luminara." Windu says seeing the ships.

"Those are mandalorian ships. That one there is the Darkline, a new experimental one of their ships and the flagship of the mandalorian Blitzkrieg. It also has a working model of the lost weapon from the records of the old council, the Silencer." Obi-wan says.

Luminara stares at them. "Why are they helping us? They could easily turn on us."

Obi-wan holds up a hand. "We have a treaty in the works, but be careful how you treat them. They are not assimilated into the republic and may never be. They are a third party, but are friendly to us, so watch your words. Especially if you speak about old Jedi codes. They seem to be bitter about that." He said remembering Blitz's talk with him and Anakin.

"Insight you have, hum?" Yoda asks.

"Yes, I met Blitzkrieg and was living at one of his homes on his home planet. The experience has given me a better understanding of the mandalorian warrior clans still out there." Obi-wan says.

Luminara sighs. "And how do you expect me to talk to them when they finish up this fight? As you can see." She said bringing up the fight and they see the CID ships being destroyed.

"All troops, prepare to launch. We are commencing our liberation of Pantora." Blitz orders flying the Darkstar to the Darkline and docking.

"Hey Blitz, we got a communication request from the republic fleet." Spike says.

"I will take it personally." Blitz says turning back to normal before heading to the drop pod that contained his partner, Genosaurer.

Geno growls as he lowers his head to Blitz and growls softly.

"Ready for our invasion?" Blitz asks touching his head before Geno opened his canopy and let's Blitz into his cockpit.

Blitz sighs as he relaxes in his seat. "Okay, first the call." He said answering the call. "You reached Blitzkrieg. Who is this?"

"This is jedi Master Luminara." Luminara says.

"I know of you. I have read your file." Blitz says.

Luminara studies him. "And I haven't heard of you anywhere. What are you doing next?"

"Starting our invasion and maybe you know me by the name I go by since my days of being a fighter pilot, Southern Cross." Blitz says.

Luminara goes a little wide eyed before Blitz smirks a bit and prepares to cut the line. "Excuse me. I have to be dropped in a pod. Begin landing your troops with us." Blitz says cutting her off before he felt himself and Geno's pod being shot to the planet below.

"We got a line of droids about to reach the capital with their defense force trying to hold them back. We are dropping you to the other side of them and you can put the squeeze on them. Fighters and bombers are being rearmed for the fight below. So they would be out for a while. Troop dropships from the republic are going in now." Ridley explained.

"Roger, send the jets down with our landing forces to pick up the slack while they are rearmed. I will lead the second zoid unit and establish a line." Blitz says.

Spike comes onto the screen. "They are already coming in. Just tell them where to go. We'll keep watch of the skies and the status of most of the ships."

"Have them secure air dominance in sectors four, six, and nine in preparations to send in our basilisk droids." Blitz orders as his drop pod and the others come under fire and his takes a hit. "Lucky shot. Geno we are good from the altitude ejecting." Blitz says blowing the top off his pod's front and Geno jumps out using his boosters to slow his descent and soon his pod exploded underneath them, creating a smokescreen covering their descent.

Geno roars as they land and starts charging right out of the smokescreen. "Targets acquired, it's a transport formation." Blitz says before using the laser guns mounted on Geno's back to start firing at the transport and their tank escorts.

The droids remain unfazed before they turn around and tries to fire at him before the rest of the pods containing the zoids come in and land before the zoids burst through out of them and begin helping to fire at them. Blitz then turns his focus on the laser tower. "After finishing the tanks, concentrate all fire on that tower and help secure air dominance." Blitz orders.

The zoids all run off after the towers as they keep firing at the tanks and just runs over the walking droids. "Saber Tigers, start hit and run maneuvers on the outlining defenses. Everyone else, form up on me after securing a beachhead." Blitz orders starting to use the gun on Geno's head to fire on battle droids and super battle droids emerging from the city line as the main gate starts to crumble.

The soldiers all shoot back responses as they all try to find a place for a landing zone before they all focus on one and soon causes massive explosion in their wake before leaving nothing there.

Blitz and the rest of the zoids maintained their position outside of the front gate with only one of the Iron Kongs to take a bad hit and being unable to move since. A few hours later, two divisions of mandalorian warriors assembled outside the front gate. "All units hear me." Blitz says over a local channel, so even the local resistance inside the walls could hear him.

"Sir." They said making sure to hold the droids back in case they decide to charge out.

"Before us is the occupied capital of Pantora. Within is the enemy's commanding officer, a fallen jedi, a traitor of all she once held sacred. She oppresses a free people who have done nothing to her. Her methods are cruel, dishonorable, and evil. So what say you my brothers? Will we let our hated enemy continue with her traitorous and evil ways? Or we show the galaxy what we Mandalorians stand for and free the proud Pantora from her evil? If you are with me, raise a shout and rattle the very walls with them!" Blitz yells.

Both Ridley and Spike chuckle as they hear the troops cheer and yell out. "He can sure rile a crowd." Ridley said.

"Now my brethren." Blitz pauses as Geno anchors himself to the spot and charges his particle gun. "CHARGE!" Blitz yells, firing the charge particle gun, destroying the gate, paving the way into the capital open wide.

The troops all shout as they charge their way inside and takes down any droids that start to attack them from all places as Geno unanchors himself. "Well, that was fun." He remarked before opening the canopy and turns into his humanoid form. "Geno, support the troops and attack any enemy reinforcements." Blitz orders jumping out and activates his jetpack, flying straight into the fight.

Geno roars as he charges himself and fires at anything shooting at him. "We got the fighters and bombers outfitted. Tell them where to strike." Spike calls Blitz.

"There is an army of droids coming to reinforce the fallen jedi. Scorched earth." Blitz order simply starting to shoot with his dual blaster pistols and joins up with the mandalorians.

"Copy that sir. We are coming in." A pilot said.

"Roger." Blitz says.

The fighting was brutal as the droids fought them street by street, but the mandalorians were living up to their ancestor's names and blasting them to pieces. Part way through the battle, to Blitz's expectations, Pantorans were starting to rise up and aid them with whatever they had. "Alpha, Bravo, with me. We are going to join up with the elite guard here and retake their capital building where the enemy commander and officers are." Blitz instructs.

"Sir." The commanders said as they joined up with him as they moving around high and low.

"Charge." Blitz yells leading the charge with the two squads of mandalorians and the elite guard following him into the hail of blaster fire from the defending droids as they exchange fire with them when a mandalorian rocket trooper destroyed the machine blaster emplacement with his rocket launcher, opening the way.

"Where's the commander?" Blitz calls out.

"We are still getting a reading from where it has been the whole time. She's probably waiting for you." Spike answered.

"I will deal with the commander myself. Take over their communications and isolate the droids." Blitz orders the Elite guard and the Mandalorians.

"Drop a satellite probe and go in. I'm sure they will give way for you." Ridley said.

"No need. I will knock." Blitz says throwing several explosive onto the door and blows it apart, kicking up smoke as he enters.

"Well that's one way to make an entrance." Both Spike and the commander said inside before Blitz cuts communications.

Blitz walks in with all the menace a sith would have with the Neimoidians manning the controls were either trying to recover from the explosion or moving back in fear. Blitz, seeing this, blasts the Neimoidians without batting an eye.

The commander frowns as she slowly walks to him. "You must be the commander of the fleet above. I hoped to fight you and take what you have."

"Funny, because I intend to collect your head as a trophy." Blitz says withdrawing one of his claws from his bracers.

The commander just huffs and takes out her lightsaber and lights it up. "Well, at least we got a non-boring fight."

"More than you know." Blitz says sheathing his blaster pistol before slashing at her with his claw.

She blocks it with her saber and starts trying to slash at him. "What can you hope to help the republic?"

"Oh, this isn't about helping them. Your idiot fleet admiral attacked one of our worlds. Mandalorians don't take that lying down and it being a newly recognized alliance world also means you attacked the neutral party." Blitz says moving just outside of her range with each slash she attempted.

She growls silently. "Doesn't matter. We are going to take over all of them."

"How with your pathetic skills?" Blitz asks blocking her with his claw before firing his flamethrower getting the side of her face with it.

She yells out as she covers her face and backs off. "Bastard!"

"What? I'm not a jedi like you were expecting." Blitz says charging forward with her blocking his claw with her saber, only to feel a stabbing pain in her right leg to see a second claw coming from his other gauntlet.

She growls in pain and starts punching him in the head as she tries to pull her leg back.

"Ow, that is the best hit you givin yet." Blitz says sarcastically, making her charge in anger only for him to sheath his claws and catch the wrist of the hand holding the saber. He then applies pressure to it using the force to enhance his strength, making her drop the light saber and fall to her knees in pain. "You were pitiful, but…" Blitz pauses, using the force to bring his darksaber into his free hand to her shock. "You will be the force sith user I kill as a sith lord." Blitz says before using the darksaber to decapitate her before she could say what she was about to say.

Blitz sighs as he turns off his darksaber and takes her lightsaber and picks up her head and walks outside to find the Pantorans cheering and Blitz looks up to see their flag flying proudly over the capitol building and smiles.

"Send a transport ship. Need a pickup for me and Geno." He said over the comms.

"Copy that. We are already sending one for you and him. It'll be there in a few minutes." Spike said before cutting the line.

"Alpha commander, take charge with the Pantorans and secure the capital." Blitz orders.

"Sir." The Alpha commander said.

"All high speed zoids with me, the rest defend the capitol. We are off to the next front." Blitz orders.

All the zoids called were then starting to follow him as he gets back into Geno and they start to walk out of the city.

"This is Southern Cross, hailing Jedi master Luminara." Blitz says hailing her after turning back to normal.

Luminara comes onto the screen. "This is master Luminara. What do you need?"

"The Capitol has been secured and the enemy commander is KIA." Blitz says.

Luminara nods. "Good. We got surrounding forces trying to hold back what was supposed to be reinforcement. We need to take out most of them to regain control."

"Me and an armored unit are heading to the next front, but also we took out the communications hub in the capitol and our fleet is jamming communications as well. The droids wouldn't be as organized for a while." Blitz informs.

Luminara nods. "This should be easier for us as well. My squads are reporting that the droids are being taken down easier."

"I will leave that front to you then." Blitz says.

Luminara held a straight face. "Good." She said before cutting the line.

Spike suddenly comes on. "We got transport ships for you with more troops. They can follow you if you need to head somewhere."

"Roger, we will start liberating nearby settlements and head eastwards to meet up with Master Luminara. This acceptable to you?" Blitz asks.

Spike nods. "Yeah, we still got the bombers and fighters waiting for more orders so go ahead and use them. I think they are itching for a fight."

"Transfer them to sector 4 and 5, but have three squads of fighter assigned to the capitol if the droids start firebombing the settlements like Ryloth." Blitz orders.

Spike and looks away. "You got it. Now I bet our Geno friend is hungry so feed him." He said smirking a bit before cutting off.

"I will see the squads as soon as possible." Blitz informs Luminara.

Luminara nods. "You better get going. The faster this is done. The better."

Blitz cut the line.

"Master, are you sure we can trust him as he has a history of killing Jedi." Barriss says as it had been a few days on the planetary time since Blitz had talked to Luminara.

Luminara sighs. "I don't know, but I rather not anger the ones who have an overwhelming force that is too bigger than us and able to take down any one of us in a moment."

"General, I see something approaching." A clone says.

Luminara looks to him. "What is it?"

"I am unsure. I have never seen something like it." The clone says handing her the macrobinoculars.

Luminara takes them and tries to spot where he is looking. "Can you at least tell me what description I'm looking for?"

"A giant metal bipedal reptile." The clone says.

Luminara scoffs. "Now that's just…oh…I see now." She said stopping.

"Master?" Barriss asks confused.

Luminara gives her the macrobinoculars. "Giant reptile."

Barriss looks through the macrobinoculars and sees a black and purple colored metal creature as the clone described and soon starts to see yellow colored giant metal felines.

"What the heck am I looking at?" Barriss asks carefully.

"I don't know, I have never seen such things." Luminara says before Barriss starts to see basilisk droids and Mandalorians.

Barriss gulps a bit. "Mandalorians. You think they would start to at least listen to an extent?"

"Come in Jedi master Luminara." A voice said on an open communication.

Luminara turns on her comms. "You have her. Who is this?"

"Southern Cross. We went into radio silence and took a southern path and looped around if the droids were sliced into our communications." Blitz said.

Luminara sighs. "Well, we got a pocket of droids ahead of us. Then you can burst on through?"

"Exact coordinates?" Blitz asks.

"Three klicks north of our position." Luminara says.

"Roger. Bomber, start a run and everyone else, start an artillery barrage." Blitz order.

"Sir." They all said as they move into formation.

Soon the droids position was razed and the mandalorians started enter the republic camp.

Luminara stares at them as she watches carefully. "Strange, they aren't as ferocious as I read."

"What do you mean master?" Barriss asks.

Luminara sighs. "I mean the fact I read about the most ferocious factions ever made and these were described as the toughest and deadliest around."

"Could their teeth, if you pardon the expression, have dulled?" Barriss asks.

Explosions then happened that took out almost all the droids. "I sincerely doubt that." Luminara said.

The zoids and basilisk droids set themselves down with the republic's armor. "Shall we go and talk to the leader in person?" Barriss asks.

"I don't think he is what you will expect." Luminara says knowing that Barriss hadn't read Obi-wan's report on the species.

Barriss shrugs. "How bad could he be? I mean, we have seen much of most species. Strange and all. What could be bad about his?"

Lunamara and Barris go to where the zoids were and walks up to one of the Saber tiger pilots. "Excuse me, where is your commander?"

"He is piloting the Genosaurer over there." The mandalorian replies.

They all look over to the menacingly looking robot before walking to it as they carefully approach it once it turns its head to them. "Commander? Are you in there?" Luminara calls out.

"One moment." Blitz says over the speaker.

Luminara leans over to Barriss. "Remember, stay calm. We don't want to anger our allies if you talk about a certain aspect of him."

"Understood master." Barriss says before the canopy on Grenosaurus's head opened up and Blitz jumps out and lands in front of them.

Luminara sighs as she sees what Obi-wan was talking about. "I see what all the rumors were about."

Blitz stretches as he looks to them. "Hello there. What's the overall status?" Blitz asks. Barriss just looks down and stares at him. "What?" Blitz asks.

Barriss couldn't help but smile a bit. "He's…cute."

"What?" Blitz asks sweat dropping.

Barriss tilts her head as she studies him. "He's…pretty cute for an intelligent species. This is…still cute."

Blitz chuckles nervously as he looks to Luminara frowning. "Yeah, this happens from time to time. Just give her a moment."

Barriss starts reaching to touch him when Luminara clears her throat and she pulls back blushing. "Sorry sir." She quickly apologized.

Blitz waves her off. "No biggie. Had worse to try and pet me."

"Now shall we talk about our current situation?" Luminara asks.

"Yes, let's." Blitz asks as they go to the command tent.

Luminara sighs as she brings up the many battlefields. "Well, thanks to your incursion, the planet is almost liberated. Now we just mop up the stragglers."

Blitz hands her a lightsaber before saying anything.

Luminara stares at it. "I see you took the commander down."

"Personally. Now only sectors ten and twelve remain contested, as such, I propose start by an artillery barrage on sector ten will having our bombers attack sector twelve to give off the illusion we are stretched thin." Blitz says.

Luminara nods. "The only thing is the terrain in both as the footing is troubling for most foot soldiers."

"Get me a line to the Darkline Minerva." Blitz says into his communicator.

"Granted." She said before both Spike and Ridley come up.

"Need something?" Spike asks.

"I want you to send me two platoons worth of our jetpack soldiers." Blitz says.

Ridley moves in closer. "Ten minutes and they are on the ground."

"Understood, send transports to resupply us." Blitz orders.

Spike pushes Ridley's head away a bit. "That's five."

"Get it done and continue to hold defensive positions up there." Blitz orders.

They both nod. "You got it." Spike said before cutting the line.

"That will fix those problems." Blitz says.

Luminara stares where they were. "Was that…a child?"

"Very long life spans, by most species standards he is an adult." Blitz says.

Barrios looks carefully to him. "Are almost all species as cute on your planet?"

"With three different sub breeds for mine." Blitz says.

Luminara clears her throat again. "Can we get back on track here?"

"What about your troops, they ready for one last push?" Blitz asks.

Luminara nods. "Yes, we're ready to go."

"After we are resupplied, we will commence our final push then." Blitz says.

Luminara moves the map around. "And now we need to plan it out."

"Yes." Blitz says before they started planning with the officers of the clones and a few mandalorians. An hour after the supplies arrived, they finalized their attack plans.

Luminara sighs. "So are we in agreement?"

"Yes. For now, half of our mandalorian jetpack troops will be under your command along with most of our zoids while you strike sector twelve. While I take a platoon of clone troopers and the other half of the jetpack troopers to attack sector ten." Blitz says.

Luminara nods. "Shall we get going?"

"Very well. Good hunting." Blitz says before exiting with the mandalorians.

"I am surprised how easily he let you take command of his troops master." Barriss says.

Luminara nods. "Probably for good graces with this treaty."

"Let's hope we keep in their good graces." Barriss says.

"You mean we haven't heard from master Luminara since her reinforcements arrived?" Ahsoka asks Obi-wan.

Obi-wan nods. "Yes, either she's very busy or worst case scenario time. Looks like we need a checkup."

"Master Obi-wan, a transmission from Pantora is coming in." A clone technical officer says.

"Understood. Shall we go see it?" Obi-wan asks Ahsoka and Anakin who nods.

The three make their way to the communication tower of the temple in time to hear. "This is master Luminara, we have finished off the last of the droids on Pantora." Luminara says.

They all look surprised and walk up to the communication system. "Repeat, we have finished off the droids." Luminara said.

"Excellent news master Luminara." Windu says.

Luminara nods. "Yes, we have now taken control of this sector and are working on placing the defenses as of now."

"Understood, is the leader of the third force available to speak?" Windu asks surprising Anakin and Ahsoka.

"Unfortunately no, he is setting up defenses as we speak." Luminara says.

Windu sighs. "Now I'm wondering who our third party is?"

"Mandalorians master Windu. They are led by Southern Cross." Luminara says.

Windu gains a frown. "This might be spell bad news later on. Be careful around him."

"Say what you wish master Windu, but the mandalorians aid here was invaluable. Without them, Pantora wouldn't be liberated yet and Southern Cross slew one of Dooku's dark acolytes." Luminara says.

Windu watches her carefully. "Who did he get?"

"Our former knight, Marllil Grehog." Luminara says.

Obi-wan, Anakin and Ahsoka looks to each other in slight shock.

"Understood, anything else?" Windu asks.

"Yes, he has informed me that when the republic sends relief forces, they will be leaving." Luminara says.

Obi-wan sighs. "Sounds like him."

"Understood, we will relocate forces to garrison Pantora." Windu says.

Luminara nods. "Luminara out." She said before cutting the line.

"Seems like our alliance with them is paying off already." Obi-wan says.

Windu sighs. "But I worry about the future of it now. Who knows where it could go?"

"Sir, we are getting reports now of other worlds along the border have either fallen to the alliances fleets or are under siege." An officer says.

Windu frowns to him. "What planet hasn't fallen?"

"Here is the report." The officer says handing Windu a datapad.

The three Jedi were still standing off to the side. "Well…what's the word?" Anakin asks.

"Only two planets haven't fallen to the assaults and both the droids and the alliance are bogged down in a ground war." Windu says.

They all look to each other. "So what's the plan here?" Obi-wan asks.

"Should contact the alliance, we should, to coordinate." Yoda says walking in.

"I have to agree. But we can only do so with those that trust us because of our pasts. Jedi and mandalorian sometimes doesn't mix." Ahsoka offered.

"Mostly yes. But we are fighting the same enemy here." Anakin says.

"Who says?" Ahsoka asks.

"Didn't your friend Blitz say so?" Obi-wan asks.

Ahsoka nods. "Yeah, he did. He also said something about war fogging who's who." Ahsoka says recalling that Blitz suspects someone high up is controlling both sides.

"That is a point." Obi-wan says.

Anakin sighs. "Let's just get the whichever one that is or about to be attacked. Maybe we can salvage that planet."

"Anakin, the report means that the alliance is besieging Separatist control worlds." Obi-wan says.

"And we are stuck here." He quipped.

"Actually, we might be able to use this opportunity to press the lines and push the CIS back as they will have to relegate droids to protect or attempt to take back planets the alliance has taken." Windu says.

Ahsoka shrugs. "Why don't we go now? We have a great chance of getting some action if the alliance hasn't taken them all down."

"Because our fleet is being repaired, refueled, and resupplied." Anakin reminds.

"We do have three fleet awaiting orders though." Windu says.

"Send orders to one to move out, the rest, wait and watch, they must." Yoda says.

Ahsoka sighs. "Shall we get this done?"

"Masters, to be able to devastate the droid blockade and armies of droids on Pantora. They must be using some weaponry we haven't seen before besides the silencer. May I and my padawan go see this for ourselves?" Anakin asks.

Yoda nods. "Go now. Find powerful weapon, we must."

"Thank you masters. Come along Ahsoka." Anakin says.

Ahsoka sighs as she follows him. "Might be weird asking him now."

Blitz sighs as he continues watching the landscape. It had been nearly a week since the liberation of Pantora and now he and his forces were waiting for the republic to send forces to relieve them.

"Hey Blitz, how's it going down there?" Spike calls over the comms.

"Bored." Blitz says.

Spike chuckles. "Yeah, expected that. Want to talk to Twilight and the others?"

"Sure." Blitz says righting himself.

Spike sighs. "Alright. Patching you through." He said before cutting off and letting him on the ringing line.

"Come on, pick up." Blitz mumbled after the fifth ring.

He heard a yawn as the line picked up. "Hello?" Twilight asks as he sees her turn on the lights.

"Hey sexy, did I wake you?" Blitz asks.

Twilight yawns again. "Sort of. What's going on?"

"Just giving you a call." Blitz says noticing Daring in the bed.

Twilight smiles as she looks over to Daring sleeping. "Yeah. We are kinda sad you left so we are using each other as substitutes. We will get use to it one day. Anyway, how are you?"

"Bored, all we are doing is waiting right now." Blitz says.

Twilight smiles gently. "Wish I can help fix that boredom."

"So do I. So how are the foals?" Blitz asks.

Twilight giggles a bit. "Sad you aren't here, but they are hopeful after we told them what you do and when you could be back. Arcane wants to talk to you mostly."

"He is such a good foal." Blitz says letting Twilight see the scenery.

Twilight smiles as she looks around him. "Nice place. How is it looking over there?"

"This is Pantora, an inhabited moon." Blitz says.

Twilight hums as she keeps looking. "Not bad. Still need to grow too."

"So how are my girls doing?" Blitz asks.

Twilight shrugs. "Here and there. They are all just missing you at the moment. Still wish we had a good temporary replacement." She said smirking.

Blitz shakes his head. "I will come for a visit as soon as the republic sends troops to relieve us. Also check the intergalactic republic news." Blitz says.

Twilight raises an eyebrow and tries searching. "What am I looking for?"

"You will know it when you read it." Blitz says before Twilight comes across an article reading 'Alliance comes to aid within an hour of the treaty being signed with them.'

Twilight smiles. "Well, you are sure living up to what others need right now. At least we can worry less about you."

"I also slew my first fallen jedi of this war." Blitz says.

Twilight raises an eyebrow. "That one was bad, right?" She asks slowly.

"She was the enemy Twi, so she was bad. Don't worry." Blitz says smiling at her.

Twilight sighs in relief. "Good. And Spike?"

"He is towing the line. I made it clear if he slacks off with his three assistants, they get shipped back home." Blitz says.

Twilight gets confused. "Assistants?"

"CMC." Blitz says groaning.

Twilight frowns. "What?" She asks getting mad.

"How they got employed, I do not know, but they are of legal age." Blitz says facehoofing.

Twilight groans out loud. "And Slender?"

"I have no clue." Blitz says.

Twilight huffs. "The girls are not going to like this."

"Then please take it up with Spike, as I delegate employment to others most of the time as I have a lot other things to do. Also the Pantorans are very interested in a trade agreement after we liberated their planet." Blitz says.

Twilight tilts her head. "Trade huh? What do they got?"

"Credits and we have many untapped resources and goods. Especially food as the droids destroyed quite a few areas that produced that for them." Blitz says.

Twilight hums. "I have to talk about a trade agreement with them. When can talking begin?"

"When you get up, if you choose." Blitz says.

Twilight sighs and nods. "Good. Not a good look at the moment. Now then, what are you going to do?"

"What are you talking about? You look sexy as always." Blitz says smiling.

Twilight giggles. "And you look handsome as ever."

"Well I'll let you get back to sleep and tell the rest I said hi, ok?" Blitz asks.

Twilight nods. "Take pictures." She said before cutting the line.

"Aw, such a cute mare." Blitz says leaning back against his seat. A few minutes later, his eyes were covered.

"Guess who?" A female voice asks.

"Ah, master Ahsoka." Blitz says smiling.

Ahsoka chuckles and uncovers his eyes before going around and walks in front of him. "Yep. How are you doing here?" She asks bending down to his size.

"Waiting and being boreddddddddddddddddddddd." Blitz says holding the last part of bored for a bit.

Ahsoka shakes her head before taking a stance. "Now padawan Cross. What have I taught you?" She mocks.

"Patience is a virtue." Blitz says mockingly.

Ahsoka chuckles. "And what are you going to do in the meantime?"

"I got nothing to do. I unintentionally preempted myself and either assigned or did what was to be done." Blitz says.

Ahsoka shakes her head. "You meditate. Have you been meditating?" She playfully scolds.

"I'm wary of your fellow jedi." Blitz says.

Ahsoka sighs as she lost her stance. "Who wouldn't with your background? Are you at least getting along in some sense?"

"The master, on a profession level. The padawan, well she wants to pet me." Blitz says.

Ahsoka grins. "You are pettable."

"Yeah, not too keen on having them find out I am force sensitive and was trained by a sith holocron of a member of the old empire's dark council." Blitz says.

Ahsoka shakes her head. "You always look at the bad, don't you?" She asks sitting nearby.

"So why are you here…wait, let me guess, your master wanted to see what equipment we brought." Blitz guess.

Ahsoka claps a few times. "Yay for you. Want a prize?"

"What, your company isn't my prize?" Blitz jokes.

Ahsoka chuckles a bit. "Yeah, they wanted to find out how you were able to take this planet very quickly. Care to explain?"

"Well, first we completely overwhelmed their fleet with our forces then started dropping forces at key locations and being unexpected, they didn't have a proper response right away seeing as they had almost destroyed your fleet. We then attacked the capital right away and I killed the commander leaving them leaderless and my troops and the Pantorans, captured their communications while we jammed off world communications. That isolated them so they couldn't coordinate while we did and stamped them out one by one." Blitz explains.

Ahsoka raises an eyebrow at him. "So…basically…overwhelm them with huge numbers?"

"Unlike the droids, each soldier is higher quality and we brought rare weapons to bear like zoids." Blitz says.

Ahsoka looks curiously at him. "Zoids? You have them?"

"Outside the republic and as such, the law the trade federation got passed on them doesn't apply." Blitz says.

Ahsoka raises an eyebrow. "You are really getting more interesting every time I talk to you."

"Anakin won't see them unless he goes to the fortress we have constructed nearby. So Barriss seems interested in our fighter jets. You think your master will be as well?" Blitz asks.

Ahsoka shrugs. "Maybe. He's always been insisting to fly on his own discretion."

"The republic will never go for jet fighter over starfighters." Blitz says laying his head onto Ahsoka's lap.

Ahsoka looks down to him. "True. But if they see an advantage, they would."

"With how much it will cost to make them and starfighters?" Blitz asks.

Ahsoka smiles and starts petting his mane. "True. Now if they found a way to make it better. They might. Although, the war companies would make a big profit."

"Yeah, but they would have to really sell it well because starfighters has versatility, while jet fighters are specialized for atmosphere usage." Blitz says.

Ahsoka shrugs. "Might good in some ways. We don't actually control much in terms of space battles and usually just two ships crashing into each or firing at each and hoping one picks off the other."

"So, missed me?" Blitz asks.

Ahsoka smiles. "Did you?"

"What do you think?" Blitz asks.

Ahsoka playfully frowns. "I say you didn't care."

"Oh so you do care what I think." Blitz says smirking.

Ahsoka chuckles. "Yeah. You really changed my life."

"Proposal accepted, when's the wedding?" Blitz jokes.

Ahsoka slaps his forehead. "Blitz."

"Ok, ok. I'll cut the jokes for a bit." Blitz says.

Ahsoka smiles as she shakes her head lightly. "You know, this is the closest we have ever gotten up to this point."

"Really? Cause I remember having to share a bed the night before that stake out." Blitz says.

Ahsoka smirks. "And you having that accident."

"I can't help if I had to run to the bathroom from food poisoning." Blitz says.

Ahsoka chuckles as she keeps petting his mane. "When have we ever had a moment like this?"

"Very few that can be counted on your hand." Blitz says.

Ahsoka nods as she relaxes. "I wish we can stay like this."

"Yeah." Blitz says happily before getting up. "So I have to say, for a fallen jedi knight, I expected more. It felt bad killing her. She put up that bad of a fight for me." Blitz says.

Ahsoka sighs. "In your case, I don't doubt it. At least it's over."

"Is it Ahsoka or has the war only started for the alliance and me." Blitz says.

Ahsoka looks to him carefully before sighing and looking away. "Didn't you have a saying for war in general?"

"Maybe, but now I am in it beside you." Blitz says.

Ahsoka smiles. "Wouldn't have it any other way."

"So what about your fleet and the 501st?" Blitz asks.

Ahsoka sighs. "Well, they are still being on the high list in terms of how tough and what victories we had."

"I meant their readiness. I sincerely doubt the republic would send one of their best offensive armies to garrison Pantora." Blitz says.

Ahsoka sighs. "After Anakin saw the force you had. He asked the republic to see if we can join up with our own fleet and deal with a few planets and sectors we have on our list."

"I see, so the republic will like to try and combine our two forces huh? That will bring the combined fleet to fifteen ships." Blitz says.

Ahsoka smirks. "But it doesn't matter the amount as long as you got skill and strength."

"Well it does help that most are destroyer class and my flagship has the silencer." Blitz says.

Ahsoka stares at him. "Looks like there's no point in hiding it."

"Not really, as your master and he most likely told your jedi council already." Blitz says.

Ahsoka nods. "You think there might be an attack on your ship one day?"

"More like they will try and seize it to uncover the silencer's blueprints. Unfortunately, the one in the ship's database is a fake and it will destroy any ship that has that design, for it will not be able to handle the strain and blow up taking the ship with it." Blitz says.

Ahsoka smiles. "Smart stallion."

"You know it." Blitz says walking over. "So want to train a bit?" Blitz asks.

Ahsoka nods. "Yes, let's. Now where did we leave off?"

"Meditation." Blitz says.

Ahsoka nods. "Okay, let's start." She said getting comfortable.

Blitz joins her as they start meditating, but to Ahsoka's surprise she could feel his connection to the force stronger than ever.

"What happened to you?" Ahsoka asks.

"Got captured by a cult because my wives were too trusting with them and they somehow blocked my magic and stuffed me into a one room house with nothing to do, but meditate." Blitz said.

Ahsoka looks back to him. "And you got stronger?"

"More like really established my connection to it." Blitz says.

Ahsoka looks him over carefully. "Cult? You have cults too?"

"Yeah, will tell you about it in great detail later." Blitz says.

Ahsoka shakes her head. "You need to reevaluate your life."

"Why? You're not wearing a wedding ring yet." Blitz jokes.

Ahsoka smiles. "Blitz. You need to check your jokes more. Who knows who could be listening on this conversation?"

"Alright, alright, now to meditation." Blitz says.

Ahsoka nods as she tries to meditate again.

"So these are what the Mandalorians used to achieve complete air superiority." Captain Rex says as he Anakin, and Barriss look at the fighter jets.

Anakin hums as he looks them over. "Looks good enough, but these things are looking like they run on another type of fuel than a reactor core."

"You're correct, they run on an older model of engine that is an upgraded version of a pre spacefaring era engine." A mandalorian technician says.

They all look to him. "And how does it fare against our engines?" Barriss asks.

"Well in an atmosphere like this, it isn't a contest. They can fly circles around a starfighter, but the drawback is they can't be used in space." The tech says.

Rex hums. "And what do you use for space combat?"

"We have starfighters, but we prefer to use the specialized fighter jets over them on a planet. They are maybe old fashioned, some may even call them relics, but look to the results in the hands of a good pilot and you will see while we still use them." The tech says.

They all stare at him before they hear a yawn and look over to see Blitz walk over with Ahsoka trailing behind him. "Hi guys. Like the fighter's?" Blitz asks stretching his neck.

Barriss just stares at him, making Blitz sigh before putting his helmet back on so she could focus a bit better.

Ahsoka shakes her head a bit. "Get your head into the game here. We are still on the clock." She said walking over to them.

"I can just image how the rest of the galaxy will treat my species." Blitz says facehoofing onto the helmet.

Ahsoka sighs. "Let's just hope they can listen long enough and get use to it."

"Anyways, Ahsoka here tells me you have sent a request to combine the 501 and the four mandalorian clans under my commander into a collision army." Blitz says.

Anakin nods. "That's the idea. We can take down many sectors in need quicker and easier."

"If Mandalore agrees to this request with the alliance I will do it. Also, there was a second reason to this operation that has captured several key bordering sectors." Blitz says.

Rex watches him carefully. "And you know?"

"I do. Many mandalorian clans are in hiding or on the fence when Mandalore called them to war against the CIS. With this, we have demonstrated our power and…" Blitz stops to let them finish.

"To get them off of the fence and come out of hiding to join you." Ahsoka says remembering similar situations in history before most, if not all, mandalorian clans assemble to fight together.

"Correct." Blitz says.

Anakin sighs. "And you hope to gain more at this point?"

"They will come. I know of one clan that will jump at the chance to hurt Dooku's armies even though I personally dislike them." Blitz says.

Rex raises an eyebrow. "Who?"

"Death watch." Blitz says.

They all frown at that. "I think you said they weren't real Mandalorians." Anakin said.

"Now the mandalorians are savage and sadistic at times, but still mandalorians. The pretenders are the gutless pacifists who hold our home world." Blitz says.

They just look confused. "You made pretenders to protect the home world but you sent the real guys out into space?" Ahsoka asks.

"No, a lot of the clans have been nomadic for centuries either hunting or looking for work with no wars to fight. This recent new government style is an insult to most clans. They turned their backs on their culture and heritage. They have forgotten the heroes who sacrificed everything for their people. In many ways, most clans hate them more than they dislike death watch because of their methods." Blitz informs.

Ahsoka grimaces a bit. "You must really have a hatred. I thought your kind was love and kindness?"

"I'm a mandalorian. We don't care what you are. It is who you are that matter to us." Blitz says as Anakin notices some mandalorians lounging around, playing darts and on the board was a picture of the duchess currently ruling Mandalore.

"You have a lot of spare time." Anakin remarks as he still watches the group.

"No, we are currently just waiting impatiently on the ground here. Those are some of the pilots who are waiting to either be shipped off to the next battle or to be ordered to sortie." Blitz says.

Ahsoka shakes her head a bit. "They won't help with the supplies, will they?"

"Supplies here are loaded and ready to transport." Blitz says.

Ahsoka looks around. "Is there anything to do?"

"Pretty much, not we have already done it and are just waiting. We didn't expect the republic to take so long to send relief troops." Blitz says.

Rex groans as he rubs his head. "Yeah, they are slow on that part sometimes."

"At least the Pantorans are friendly to us." Blitz says.

Ahsoka smirks a bit. "And you hope to make a trade with them."

"Their senator has already been in contact asking who they can talk to get it to happen." Blitz informs.

Ahsoka smirks even more. "You got a connection already, don't you?"

"Not yet, but I have set someone up for her to talk to." Blitz informs.

"Her?" Ahsoka asks grinning. "You got Twilight, didn't you?"

Blitz sighs. "She is the diplomat for the planet. Princess of magic by the way!" He calls to the sky to everyone's confusion. "So any word on relief troops?" Blitz asks.

Anakin looks to his datapad. "About two days so we are still stuck here. You got anything that needs to be done?"

"With that knowledge, I can start doing something." Blitz says contacting Spike.

Spike looks up from the datapad he was looking at as the screen came on. "Do you need something?"

"I have just been informed that the relief will arrive in forty-eight hours. You know what I expect to be done by then." Blitz says.

Spike quickly throws the datapad behind him. "You got it." He said quickly going to the controls.

Blitz cuts communications before starting to yell to the mandalorians to get ready to leave.

Ahsoka smiles a bit. "That young dragon is still like a kid."

"Snips, don't you think you should inform Master Luminara and Barriss here about something regarding Blitzkrieg?" Anakin asks.

Ahsoka sighs. "Yeah. You and Rex can head off. Who knows if the troops need to be replaced from the leaving Mandalorians."

"What does he mean Ahsoka?" Barriss asks after Anakin and Rex left.

"Well…Blitz is force sensitive like us, but he only recently discovered it like a few months ago recently." Ahsoka explains.

Barriss grows confused. "Isn't he too old?"

"Yeah, his species sub breed has an ability that is kind of like the force making him being force sensitive go unnoticed because it was always attributed to that." Ahsoka explains.

"And being an only recently discovered by the entire galaxy species didn't help the jedi find him as a child, huh?" Barriss comments.

"You've read up on them from master Obi-wan's report." Ahsoka says.

Barriss nods. "Yes, this is a new civilization and should read up on how they are."

"Good, so which did you like best amongst the sub-breeds?" Ahsoka asks.

Barriss hums. "I like the one that flies."

"Pegasus sub breed and why, because they are the smallest?" Ahsoka kids with her.

Barriss gives her an annoyed look. "No, because of freedom to fly."

"Ah. So how do you think Master Luminara will take this?" Ahsoka asks.

Barriss shrugs. "Maybe read up a bit."

"I meant him being force sensitive." Ahsoka says.

Barriss smiles a bit. "Oh, that. She would probably ask why he isn't with the council."

"We best go inform her." Ahsoka says.

Luminara sighs as she rubs her forehead. "Why is he not with us already?"

"Busy, at a young age was kidnapped by slavers and picked up and trained by mandalorians and now his species and planet has been excluded from the council as part of the alliance agreement since most of them have a force like power." Ahsoka counted off.

"Yes, it would be next to impossible who has a true connection to the force and who doesn't based on this preliminary report on their species." Luminara says.

Ahsoka shrugs. "At least we have new friends in this. They are a strange and very powerful species and can even be stronger than master Yoda if possible."

"I wouldn't go that far." Barriss says.

"And there is one more thing. It's how he is being trained in the force." Ahsoka says nervous.

They both stare at her. "What about it? He's Mandalorian and probably passed all their tests to get this far." Luminara asks.

"No, he is…learning from the sith holocron of Darth Imperious from the cold war era of the Great Galactic War." Ahsoka says still nervous and quickly.

They now blink and Barriss was surprised. "Excuse me?!" Luminara asks angrily. "He's being trained by a Sith Lord?"

"Well a holocron of one that is long dead." Ahsoka says.

Luminara just groans and rubs her forehead. "Give me a moment." She said turning around and walking away.

"This is bad." Barriss says.

"It's not as bad as you think as Master Anakin and Obi-wan know this." Ahsoka says.

Barriss looks to her. "You do realize she's a by the books type. And your masters aren't exactly one too similar to mine." Barriss said.

"I know, but on this if they saw a problem, they would have reported it. Also, it's not like we can take another government's head of defense and pretty much draft him, as he puts it." Ahsoka says.

Barriss sighs. "You think Blitzkrieg will still be accepted now?"

"He doesn't care either way. He just does his job. That is the way he has been for years." Ahsoka says.

Barriss raises an eyebrow. "Yes, but he possibly won't be allowed around some areas."

"This also means that the sith won't tolerate his presence. The thing they hate more than a jedi is another sith because that makes them a rival." Luminara says.

Ahsoka sighs. "I think he's got enemies on both sides right now so let's not turn it into a worse situation."

"Barriss, I want you to go determine his skill level." Luminara says.

Barriss goes a little wide eyed. "Wait…what?"

"Ask to spar with him." Luminara says.

Barriss looks a bit afraid. "Are you sure that's a good idea?"

"Relax, just get some training sabers. He won't hurt you." Ahsoka says.

Barriss sighs. "Okay." She said walking out.

"No, the attacker class jets first, then multirole, then the fighters." Blitz informs as they were getting ready to ship out of the airfield.

Anakin raises an eyebrow. "Why not backwards? If the fighters are too good in atmosphere."

"Because the attacker class includes the bombers and if we are attacked, we can still sortie the fighters." Blitz informs.

Anakin shakes his head. "And what about starfighters? They need to be in here anyway."

"We are vacating ours so the republic has somewhere to put theirs unless you want to give us yours as a trade." Blitz says.

Anakin raises an eyebrow. "Excuse me?"

"You want to leave our starfighters here, you got to give us something in return as how would we be as effective without them in space battles." Blitz says.

Anakin looks unconvinced. "Uh huh. Right, you're just going to leave your equipment here without trouble."

"The starfighters, depending on what you give us. The fighter jets, heck no. You know how hard it is to find some business willing to make them nowadays and have a good quality to boot." Blitz says.

Anakin rolls his eyes. "Right."

"Is there a reason you're hovering over my shoulder?" Blitz asks.

Anakin frowns a bit. "What do you think?"

"I think you want to try and fly one." Blitz says.

Anakin huffs. "He figures it out."

"Hey Johndus." Blitz calls.

Johndus looks over. "Yes?"

"Take Skywalker up for one last patrol." Blitz orders.

Johndus nods and heads to his F-22 nearby. "Come on nonbeliever."

Anakin goes much to Blitz's relief. Blitz sighs as he walks off in another direction. "Now I can get some relaxation."

"Excuse me." Barriss says walking up to him.

Blitz groans lightly as he turns to her. "Yes?"

"Um…well…I…" Barriss tries to talk.

Blitz sighs. "You know I am force sensitive now right?" Blitz asks.

Barriss nervously nods. "Yes."

"I see, so your master wants to gauge me correct?" Blitz asks.

Barriss watches him. "Yes, that's correct."

"Follow me." Blitz says.

Barriss tilts her head as she follows him. "So…you got a training ground?"

"Yes and we will be alone since no one is slacking off either packing up or going on one last patrol." Blitz says.

Barriss nods as she kept following before reaching a large enough tent with some fake weapons inside. "So…what's the conditions?" She asks.

"Fight how you normally do." Blitz says before he transforms into his humanoid form to her surprise.

Barriss blinks. "Ho…how?"

"My species ability allows us to do such things, but only recently have we been able to do this." Blitz says tossing her a training sword.

Barriss catches it without knowing. "Recently?"

"Yes, my wife is pioneering a mix of technology and as we call it magic. This amulet is a prototype and the only one currently in existence." Blitz says.

Barriss tilts her head. "And if I use it?"

"Not sure as it has only been used on me." Blitz says.

Barriss raises an eyebrow. "Have you even tried?"

"Nope." Blitz say giving his practice sword a few test swings.

Barriss tests the weight of hers. "What's the losing condition?"

"It's just a spar. So think real life fight." Blitz says.

After about fifteen minutes they stopped. "I got to admit you put up a better fight than that fallen jedi did." Blitz says.

Barriss sighs. "Maybe it's because I'm friendly."

"No, your skill is greater. Truth be told, I was bored fighting her." Blitz says shrugging as Barriss could sense no lies from him.

Barriss raises an eyebrow. "And how many Jedis have you taken down?"

"Truth be told, counting her, twenty-nine and most of the time, it is the jedi's own arrogance that started the fight or lead to their death." Blitz says.

Barriss grimaces a bit. "And what of the ones got lucky?"

"I have had a fight with forty of your order. They were either smart enough to recognize an unwinnable battle and withdraw or circumstances didn't let us finish." Blitz says.

Barriss watched him carefully. "And what of now?"

"Have you learnt anything from our spar?" Blitz asks putting back the training sword.

Barriss hums as she puts hers back. "A bit for now."

"Then we are done." Blitz says returning to pony form.

Barriss shakes her head. "Master Luminara was almost suspicious of you. And maybe still is."

"I figure she would be. Like most of your order." Blitz says.

Barriss shakes her head a bit. "And how would you describe the select few?"

"A little more opened minded and not automatically say I am evil for not being with the Jedi or follow their code." Blitz says.

Barriss smiles a bit. "Well that's good."

"And what about you?" Blitz asks.

Barriss looks to him. "What do you mean?"

"Do you have your doubts?" Blitz asks.

Barriss sighs. "I don't know at the moment."

"Then I will not pry." Blitz says.

Barriss sighs as she stands up. "Thanks for the spar." She said walking away.

Blitz watched her walk away. 'At least she isn't trying to pet me now.' Blitz thinks turning away.

Suddenly he was lifted and felt his mane being petted. "So soft." She said making him roll his eyes.

"Finally got to pet me like you wanted huh?" Blitz asks.

Barriss smiles as she keeps petting him. "You're so cute."

Blitz sighs.

Barriss keeps petting him before putting him down. "Okay, I got my fill." She said smiling.

"You're just like Ahsoka, wanting to pet me." Blitz says.

Barriss smiles. "Well, at least that's another thing we can talk about."

"Like how you think I looked hot in humanoid form?" Blitz jokes.

Barriss gives him a funny look. "That's just nonsense."

Blitz grins. "Then why are you petting my tail?"

"Because it is cute as well." Barriss says.

Blitz just rolls his eyes. "Just go already. Who knows when the next mission might come in."

"Oh, one moment." Barriss says before taking a picture of Blitz.

"What are you up to?" Blitz asks.

Barriss smirks. "Just placing you into the archives as an alliance and Mandalorian general."

"Oh great and I'm in normal clothes." Blitz says.

Barriss keeps smirking. "Well, at least you can show your true side and still your most menacing."

"Oh ha ha." Blitz says.

Barriss chuckles. "Maybe you can act menacing while like this. Who knows? You would be the most feared even with just one sight without anything on you."

"I was right, you're just like Ahsoka." Blitz says.

Barriss shrugs. "We are friends."

"I'm going to the barracks." Blitz says walking away.

Barriss grins. "Check the archives later."

"I don't have access." Blitz says.

Barriss smirks. "Yeah, I'll bet. And I'll bet you'll get it."

Blitz shakes his head as he gets out of the tent. "I hate those that find me cute." He remarked as he just aimlessly walked.

"So Blitz called last night?" Daring asks.

Twilight nods. "Yes, looks like I'm going to be working on a new trade treaty. Almost excited, but Celestia is sending over some advisors to help finalize the treaty."

"Well it is our first interstellar one." Daring says as Venator slept in her hooves.

Twilight shrugs a bit. "True. Who knows, we might be getting farther than ever with Blitz having some friendliness with the planets he is liberating. Maybe we can speed up our own space travel instead of relying on military ships."

"Aren't our own still working on our own ships?" Daring asks.

Twilight nods. "Yes, but we do need to speed up with different materials and types of equipment. Plus, the planets would send their own transports so that's half of the ships needed gone from the workload." She said as they hear yawning and they see Arcane coming around the corner. "My little prince is up. Breakfast sweetie?"

"Mommy." Arcane says half asleep walking over.

Twilight giggles as she looks over his unkempt self. "Oh, is my little prince too tired to walk?" She teases as she uses her magic and places him in a chair and some changelings places some food for him as both mares stare at him.

"Twi?"

"I know. He's bigger." Twilight said a little surprised as Arcane seems to gain a little growth spurt.

Arcane yawns again as he looks to the plate. "Pancakes." He said sleepily and just puts his muzzle into the food and starts chewing from there.

"My big boy." Twilight says petting his head.

Daring raises an eyebrow at his style of table manners. "You're not going to punish him for eating like this?"

"He's my baby, he ca…" Twilight was cut off by Pinkie.

"Eat just like you?" Pinkie asks with Sunshine on her back.

Twilight turns to them. "Maybe." She said slowly. "How is the little filly here?"

"Hungry…" Pinkie stops when her own stomach growls. "Like me."

Twilight raises an eyebrow. "And you didn't eat at SugarCube Corner?"

"Because I moved in here when I had Sunshine." Pinkie says.

Twilight shakes her head. "Go and make something. Just don't make it too big."

"Oh, look how big your big brother is Sunshine." Pinkie says next to Arcane.

Sunshine chuckles as he was eating again. "Too much at times?"

"Oh you are right my cute little filly." Pinkie says.

Twilight sighs. "Girls, did you ever believe it would get this far?"

"Well it is in the script." Pinkie says.

"Huh?" The other two mares ask.

Pinkie grins. "Nothing." She said stuffing some papers in her m…stop stealing from our systems!

"So how are the others that are getting near to giving birth?" Twilight asks.

Pinkie hums as she messes with the sc…hey! Cut that out! Don't touch that par…! We're blind. She blinded us.

"Ok, that should fix it." Pinkie says.

Don't touch us again. Now then. "What are you talking about?" Twilight asks confused.

"Hold on, let me roll for my medical check." Pinkie says before rolling a d20 dice.

Neeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrrddddddd!

Twilight just raises an eyebrow. "Um…have you been digging into the many games I have for Arcane?"

Arcane laughs sleepily. "Funny noises." He said before sleeping on the half eaten pancakes.

"Oh, I rolled a 14, that means I know that Spitfire will give birth in less than twelve hours." Pinkie says.

Twilight goes wide eyed. "What?"

"Yeah, she will be going into labor ri…" Pinkie was cut off by a cry of pain.

Twilight goes completely afraid and runs to Spitfire calling out and finds her on the ground. "Infirmary! Now!" She calls out.

"Ok Spitfire, you're through it." Twilight says dapping Spitfire's head with a wet sponge.

Spitfire pants heavily as she looks at her. "Twi?" She asks almost whispering.

"Yes?" Twilight asks.

Spitfire smiles. "Remind to kill you later." She said before closing her eyes and falling asleep.

"Come on Spitfire, don't you at least want to see your foal?" Twilight asks.

Spitfire hums. "Just bring him here." She said sleepily.

"Say hello to your colt." Twilight says giving her a bundle of cloth.

Spitfire smiles as she brings the colt close to her as he sleeps away. "I'll feed him. Just let me rest."

"Before you sleep, why do you want to kill me?" Twilight asks.

Spitfire chuckles. "Because you could have teleported us."

"I could have…" Twilight says in realization.

Spitfire chuckles more darkly. "Yep and save a lot of time."

"Before I go. There is somepony who wants to see you." Twilight says.

Spitfire hums. "Who?"

"I'll send her in." Twilight says leaving and in walked Soarin.

Spitfire looks to her before sighing. "Hey Soarin."

"Hey, you ok?" Soarin asks sounding unsure.

Spitfire shrugs as she held the colt close to herself and wraps a wing around him. "Here and there. Why are you here?"

"Look captain…I think it is time we mended the fence." Soarin says looking away.

Spitfire smiles a bit. "What brought this on?"

"Well I heard you in pain from well…and I thought to myself after a while, why am I holding a grudge when the captain needs me?" Soarin says pausing in the middle.

Spitfire sighs. "Because I took your life from you. I changed who you were and nopony deserves that."

"Yeah, but shouldn't we put it behind us now? If not for our friendship or our stallion. Then for the foals?" Soarin asks.

Spitfire holds out her hoof. "Friends?"

"Sisters?" Soarin offered.

Spitfire chuckles and wraps a hoof around her and brings her in close. "Wives. The best kind that will protect our stallion and keep our foals happy."

Soarin smiles. "So may I get a look at your little colt?" Soarin asks.

Spitfire nods and shows him the colt still sleeping. "You're family. It's only right."

"Oh he has a crimson coat." Soarin says.

Spitfire nods. "Yeah, fiery disposition comes into play I believe."

"Your's or your colt's?" Soarin asks.

Spitfire chuckles. "His."

"So any ideas for a name for our crimson little pegasus here?" Soarin asks.

Spitfire hums. "Not really. Got any?"

"Sunrise Star?" Soarin asks.

Spitfire hums as she looks to the sleeping colt. "Sunrise Star. The red pegasus who will make a sight and make the sun rise for those that deserve it. Not bad."

"Now you best think up a good one for mine when my turn comes up." Soarin teases.

Spitfire chuckles. "It's a promise. Now. I got to sleep. And so does this little one."

"Sure captain." Soarin says before kissing her to Spitfire's surprise.

Spitfire blinks as she separated. "Um…what?"

"What? We are wives." Soarin says.

Spitfire chuckles as she shakes her head. "Go on. Make sure the foals are okay."

"But what about you two?" Soarin asks as the doctors keep using healing magic on her.

Spitfire smiles. "We'll be fine. What happened anyway?"

"Well nothing much, but should we call Blitz when you awaken?" Soarin asks.

Spitfire nods. "Yeah. It's only right for him to know he has a new foal."

"From what I saw from the recording of his call, he is so bored having only waiting to do because he and the rest did everything already." Soarin says.

Spitfire laughs a little. "Wow. He's actually bored by work and this is supposed to be exciting every time."

Soarin sighs. "Yeah, anyway. I'll leave you two to sleep now. Celestia knows you need it."

"Ah, I do, but Sunrise here is way ahead of me." Spitfire says.

Sunrise yawns loudly and tries to sleep with some cute snores.

Soarin giggles as she watches him. "Alright. I'll leave you alone now. See you later captain." She said leaving.

"Your maternal instincts have really developed." Spitfire says.

Soarin stops for a bit before looking back at her. "Only because of you. Guess it is a good thing."

"Finally leaving." Blitz says relieved and onboard the Darkline in his quarters.

Twilight smiles as she watches him from the screen call. "Guess you really wanted to leave because you were bored right out of your mind, right?"

Blitz groans. "What do you think? Anyways, how's the trade agreement?"

"Talks have started and your liberation has gotten us a lot of good will right off the bat, but more on that later. One moment. Spitfire, are you able to come here for a second?" Twilight calls.

Blitz raises an eyebrow as he sees Spitfire come into the screen. "What's going…?" He stops as he sees a little bundle of cloth in her hooves. "Is that…?"

"Meets your new colt, Sunrise Star." Spitfire says.

Blitz smiles a bit. "I missed it." He said sadly.

"Yeah, but you're in a warzone so it can't be help." Spitfire says understanding, showing Blitz his son's crimson coat.

Blitz tilts his head. "Ah, our little red colt. What about his mane?"

"Let's see, he's a blond." Spitfire says showing him.

Blitz smiles a bit. "Well, that's another one down. Whosoever left, give them an emergency hospital use so they can be ready."

"Oh, I have put a device on each to alert us the moment one goes into labo…" Twilight was cut off when an alarm went off.

Blitz raises an eyebrow. "You might want to get that."

Twilight checks it before running off. "Fleetfoot, don't worry, we are coming!" Twilight yells.

Spitfire sighs as she looks back to the screen. "Little Arcane has been wanting to talk to you. I'll let you speak to him and let you know when Fleetfoot gives birth, okay?"

"Ok. In fact, get all the foals old enough to talk to get on here." Blitz says.

Spitfire nods and walks away as he hears some talking off screen. He waited for a bit before the top of some heads were seen. "Too low." Sunshine said.

Blitz snickers as they go off screen and grab some chairs before bringing it back on and sat on them. "Hi dad." They said.

"Hey there my foals. Have you been good?" Blitz asks.

They all nod. "Yep." Azure said.

"Good and it seems you all are getting bigger." Blitz says smirking.

Sunshine points to Arcane. "But he's too big. Look." She said bringing out a ruler from her mane and holds it next to Arcane. "Not the normal height."

"Sunshine, you're a silly filly." Blitz says smiling.

Sunshine grins. "Mommy helps."

"Oh?" Azure asks picking his sister up.

Sunshine laughs as she wrestles with him while Arcane shakes his head. "Why does it feel bigger than ever now?" He mused.

"Ok you three." Blitz says before reaching out with the force and lifting all three up slightly.

They go wide eyed and look to him. "How…?" Azure tires to ask.

"Your dad knows a few tricks." Blitz says smirking.

Arcane frowns a bit. "Dad."

"Ok." Blitz says letting them all be lowered back down.

Arcane shakes his head a bit. "Dad?"

"Yes?" Blitz asks.

Arcane raises an eyebrow. "When are you coming home?"

"I will be coming home soon for a visit, but will have to leave again soon after." Blitz says sounding sad.

They all slouch at that. "Why now?" Sunshine dramatizes.

"Your dad has to go out and keep beating up bad guys." Blitz says.

Sunshine immediately perks up. "Oh, okay. Hey, can you bring presents? We love presents." She cheers as she hops in place.

"I can't tell you that. It would ruin the surprise." Blitz says.

Sunshine pouts cutely. "Not fair."

"Life isn't fair." Arcane said shrugging.

"You three are going to be extra good for me and watch out for your mothers and younger siblings?" Blitz asks.

They all salute. "Yes sir." They all said.

Sunshine suddenly leapt up to the screen and actually pushed her head through. "When are we going to get our own omnitools?" She asks ignoring the two colts behind her in shock at the sight of a filly that phased through a hologram screen onto the other side on the other end of the call.

"Sunshine. No breaking the laws of physics before lunch." Blitz reminds.

"Aww." Sunshine groans and pulls her head back. "No fun."

"Now for your question. Your mothers get to decide." Blitz says.

They all slouch a bit. "Yeah, not fun." Azure said.

"What do you think Octy, are they ready for one?" Blitz asks spying the mare behind them.

Octavia giggles as she walks out behind them. "Well, if they were responsible enough. Then again, they are falling into this anyway and the quicker the better. Do they have training types?"

"Yes." Blitz says.

Octavia grins a bit. "Give them a 'restricted' one. Fully ready for anything and the latest, but have them 'restricted'."

"I will leave that to you and the rest, ok?" Blitz asks as Azure hugs his mom's leg.

Octavia laughs as she hugs him back. "My little colt."

Arcane and Sunshine shake their heads. "Hey dad?" He asks.

Blitz smiles at Azure's hugging. "Yes Arcane?"

Arcane tilts his head a bit. "Hold on." He said before turning around and they see a smoke come out before forming into Terra. "Hi auntie."

Terra smiles. "Hello my little colt. Hi Blitz." She said waving to the screen.

"Hey Terra, been having fun with the foals?" Blitz asks as she was dogpiled.

Terra giggles as she lets them all crawl over her. "Yes I have. They are good bundle of joys. Though I need to talk a bit alone with you."

"Well I don't have the time right just this moment. I have to hang up soon." Blitz says.

Terra sighs as she was hugged by the foals. "Fine. I'll talk to you when you come over. This is about a certain future."

"I see, oh and one last thing." Blitz says.

Terra raises an eyebrow. "Oh?"

"Atomic drop." Blitz says.

Terra goes wide eyed and yells out as all the foals pile drive her. "Dang you, you heathen." She playfully cursed.

Blitz chuckles. "Play nice guys." Blitz says before cutting the line.

"You ok?" Twilight asks Fleetfoot.

Fleetfoot moans and looks to her. "The foal."

"She is perfectly fine." Twilight says.

Fleetfoot sits up a bit. "She?"

"It's a filly." Twilight says.

Fleetfoot smiles gently. "What does she look like?"

"Here she is and thankfully the doctors didn't have a complication with your delivery." Twilight says giving her a wrapped bundle.

Fleetfoot smiles and takes her and pulls back the cloth to see her filly. "I like that she didn't get hurt. And I'm happy this is over."

"Yeah, I'm happy they didn't have to operate on you like Spitfire." Twilight says.

Fleetfoot looks up in shock. "What?"

"They had to operate to save both her and the foal's lives. It really gave us a scare." Twilight says.

Fleetfoot looks worried. "What happened?"

"Shh. Don't worry about it right now." Twilight says.

Fleetfoot sighs as she still stayed worried. "Can I see them?"

"Spitfire?" Twilight asks.

Spitfire yawns as she sits up in her bed with Sunrise. "Yes?"

"Can you come see Fleetfoot?" Twilight asks.

Spitfire nods as she comes over with Sunrise in her hooves. "What do you need?"

"Hey captain, you ok?" Fleetfoot asks.

Spitfire nods and shows her stitched scar on her stomach. "Yeah, but my flying days are over for a bit until this heals and even then I have to take it easy."

"I see. At least you will fly again though." Fleetfoot says.

Spitfire nods as she rocks Sunrise. "Yeah, but not the same as before. Guess it's the retired commander for me."

"No way Spitfire. With our new healing, you will be able to fly again in a few months." Twilight says.

Spitfire smiles. "Let's wait until I'm healed the natural way and then you could do what you want."

"So I hear Soarin kissed you." Twilight says smirking.

Spitfire rolls her eyes. "She apologized."

"And kissed you?" Twilight asks with a knowing smile.

Spitfire groans. "Yes. It caught me off guard for a bit. I think she needs Blitz's help."

"You think her maternal instincts have taken such a hold, she wants a foal of her own?" Twilight asks.

Spitfire nods. "Yeah, think one of you girls can keep her satisfied for now until Blitz comes back?"

"Not sure…maybe Diamond can." Twilight says smirking.

Spitfire smirks as well. "Two changed stallions on each other? This might be fun."

"Now, now captain, don't get too excited. Remember the stitches." Twilight reminds.

Spitfire chuckles. "I won't. Though can you keep a recording?"

"I plan to if the first time is any good." Twilight says.

They all giggle as the foals yawn together as they try to sleep. Spitfire smiles as she looks to Sunrise. "I wish he can be here for them right now."

"He is coming home soon. I can feel it." Fleetfoot says.

Twilight smiles. "Well, I did overhear his talk with the foals. He is coming back soon, though it may take a while and even then he would have to leave again soon."

"That is to be expected. Heck, any of the wonderbolts or the shadowbolts wouldn't be here so much if we weren't pregnant." Spitfire says.

"So that is why Soarin leaves from time to time." Twilight says.

Spitfire nods. "We have to take care of the business somehow and she is the only one who isn't pregnant."

"Speaking of which, I kind of sent an invite to the others to come by to visit, saying you had just given birth." Fleetfoot says nervously.

Spitfire looks at her slightly. "Yeah, you did a bad idea."

"Hey, I thought they would be excited to meet little crimson there." Fleetfoot says.

Spitfire rolls her eyes. "Can I have my time alone with this one? I think she needs it." She asks Twilight making Fleetfoot sweat a little.

"No Spitfire, she is weak from giving birth and you are barely walking around in here." Twilight says.

Spitfire frowns. "I'm commander."

"And I'm the bucking queen." Twilight replied back.

"Yes ma'am." Spitfire sighs.

Twilight smiles. "You'll get her one day. Just not now."

"They replied they would be coming today." Fleetfoot adds.

Spitfire glares at her slightly. "I'll deal with you later."

"Wait, before you continue, let's take a look at her filly." Twilight says.

Spitfire sighs and show Sunrise to her.

"I'm thinking Pearl Petal for her name." Fleetfoot says looking at the dark blue coated filly with her white mane.

Twilight smiles. "I think that's a wonderful name."

"Yeah and it fits her." Spitfire says looking to see she had a horn.

"Yeah, she takes after her father, but with my mane." Fleetfoot says before kissing her filly's forehead.

Twilight smiles. "Guess it's time to make another necklace in case she wants to fly."

"I thought you were going to mass produce them." Spitfire says.

Twilight smirks. "Yeah…decided against knowing it would be abused. Crime and all. A unicorn can rob a bank and then use it to fly away and nopony can tell the description properly."

"Ah, point, but it can also be used to let unicorns and earth ponies to see what it is like to fly with us." Spitfire says.

Twilight holds up a hoof. "Don't bother. Besides, like I said. It can be misused and copied and possibly harm somepony. I can't risk it."

"I guess…but you will make them for the foals, right. Think about it. You teaching all the foals magic." Spitfire says putting thoughts in Twilight's head.

Twilight groans and rubs her head. "Let's talk about this tomorrow. Right now, it's best the foals get some rest with you two."

"You rest Twi. Please push her to a reception room to meet the rest of my team." Spitfire says.

Twilight sighs. "Fine. Or I could let them in. Better than moving her around. Even you."

"No, she sleeps. I will inform them when we talk." Spitfire says.

Twilight still rubs her head. "Sit in a chair. I need to lie down a bit.

"You feeling ok?" Spitfire asks getting into the wheelchair.

Twilight sighs. "With Terra talking to me about something important and Blitz's war problems, I feel a big headache. Top it off with the trade agreement and you got a massacre."

"Ouch, sounds like when I'm forced to do paperwork at the academy." Spitfire says.

Twilight nods. "Yeah. Now let's go see the others. Night Fleet." She said wheeling Spitfire out.

"Night." Fleetfoot says wrapping her wings around Pearl.

Spitfire smiles as she looks back to her. "She'll be a good mother."

"Now let's hope Shadow calms down a bit after she gets hers." Twilight says.

Spitfire chuckles. "Yeah, that mare has finally gotten her dream life. After all these years."

"Yeah, she even has been decorated the room next to hers for her foal." Twilight says.

Spitfire laughs. "Yeah, the life she never thought she would have and she's going to make sure she has that life forever. Being a mother."

"Yeah." Twilight says as a changeling came up to her.

"Pardon me my queen, but the wonderbolts are here." He says.

Twilight nods. "Good. You know what, grab your friends and have yourself a breeding session with the mares in the breeding rooms. They sure like it." She said before leaning down to Spitfire. "Let's go put you with family." She said gently petting Sunrise's head as the changeling leaves.

Spitfire breathes heavily before sighing.

Twilight smiles to her. "It'll be okay. They are family as well as friends." She said as they enter the eating room.

"Hey captain." Blaze greets.

Spitfire smiles and shows Sunrise. "Hey guys. Meet my son, Sunrise Star."

"Captain, you ok?" Blaze asks seeing her in the wheelchair.

Spitfire nods. "Yeah, just fine. A little weak and everything. I should be back up soon."

"No hugging her, any of you. The doctors had to operate during the delivery." Twilight says.

Fast looks at her worriedly. "She is okay, right?"

"Yeah, she will recover, but it will take a while." Twilight says as Spitfire reluctantly showed her stitches.

Misty and the others hissed. "What happened?"

"A complication came up. It put mine and Sunrise's lives in danger." Spitfire says.

Misty leans in a bit. "But you are fine, right?"

"Yeah, I am, but I may be relegated to a desk until I recover." Spitfire says.

Blaze sighs. "So what now?"

"Well, I'm going to inform you that not long before you arrived, Fleetfoot gave birth." Spitfire says.

They all looked shocked. "Really?" Misty asks.

"Yeah, luckily no complications happened and she named her little unicorn filly, Pearl Petal." Spitfire says.

They all smile a bit. "Well at least she made it." Blaze said.

"Yeah, you all better show respect too because one day, my little Sunrise will lead the wonderbolts." Spitfire says confidently.

They all chuckle nervously as Sunrise yawns cutely.

"That is right, fear the next generation you slackers." Spitfire jokes holding up Sunrise.

Sunrise still yawns.

The wonderbolts playfully salutes Sunrise before most of them start laughing with Spitfire.

Twilight smiles as she walks off. "Make sure you bring her back to bed you guys."

"Yes ma'am." The wonderbolts say together.

Spitfire frowns playfully at her. "Hey, they're my team. Stick to your own bugs."

"Nope." Twilight says playfully.

Spitfire keeps playfully frowning. "Oh great queen, back off."

Twilight giggles as she closes the door behind her.

"I envy her sometimes." Spitfire said.

"Let us see, I got the intact droid. I got Pantoran made plushies and toys. And some foreign jewelry for my wives." Blitz says checking some bags.

Spike shakes his head a bit as he sat with Blitz and Ridley. "I'm surprised they gave you some toys just like that."

"I paid for them Spike." Blitz says annoyed at the dragon.

Spike rolls his eyes. "Geez, what's got your tail in a twist?"

"I had to remind some of the troops to not take anything through looting and had to pay for what they took." Blitz says annoyed.

Spike raises an eyebrow. "I can place some credits into your account to account for the payed things. I got nothing to spend it on."

"No thanks. So what you got planned, going to run from the big sisters when we get back or going to take Slender straight out onto a date?" Blitz asks.

Spike chuckles. "Hardy har har. No, I'm just going to drop the girls off because I have something to do."

"Oh, does it have to do with a gift you sneaky reptile?" Blitz says nudging him.

Spike laughs a little. "I wish. No, but it could be counted as a gift. Thank goodness I never spent much on anything since I got credits from that poker game."

"I can give my little brother a little loan." Blitz says.

Spike smirks. "I told you. I never spent and you have never seen the balance on my account."

"I know, but we are family, right." Blitz says.

Spike sighs. "Yeah, but I'm still not telling big bro."

"Oh come on, your off duty right now with me. Let's go do some recreational activity." Blitz says.

Spike shakes his head. "Can't. Have to check on the 'gift'."

"Come on, one game of racquetball won't hurt." Blitz says.

Spike sighs. "As much fun that might be, I have to do a checkup." He said before getting up and leaving.

"Nope, not allowed." Blitz says dragging Spike to the court.

"Come on, come on mommy. We have to go to meet daddy at the Spaceport!" Arcane exclaims.

Twilight smiles and picks him up. "Okay, we'll go soon enough. Just let me grab my things. Now what are you going to do when he comes in?" She asks getting her bags.

"Run up to him." Arcane says happily.

Twilight giggles. "Oh sweetie. Alright, let's go." She said walking out with him.

"Mommy, will mommy Spitfire be able to go with us?" Arcane asks.

Twilight sighs. "No sweetie. She's too weak for much movement at the moment. She'll be fine soon, but she needs time."

"Ok." Arcane says with a sad tone.

Twilight smiles and wraps a wing around him. "She'll be back flying soon enough. Give it time."

"Ok mommy." Arcane says.

Twilight sighs as she walks with him to the spaceport where the others were waiting. "Hey girls, has he come in yet?"

"Not yet." Applejack says.

Twilight nods as she sits nearby. "How long does he have before going off again?"

"Don't know." Fleetfoot says.

"Twilight?" Trixie calls walking up.

Twilight looks behind her to see Trixie. "What are you doing here?"

"Well Trixie is here to see her husband when he gets off the transport to surprise him." Trixie says.

Twilight smiles. "I'm sure he would love that."

"Oh little Arcane, how you have grown since Trixie last saw you." Trixie says.

Arcane smiles. "Hi miss Trixie."

"Hi." Trixie says shaking his hoof with her own.

Twilight smiles greatly. "So how has married life been?"

"Good." Trixie says.

Twilight chuckles. "Of course it has been. So do you have anything planned for him?"

"Well Trixie won't go into details, but he owes Trixie for being away so long." Trixie says.

Twilight giggles. "So does ours, but we don't know how to split it up between us all."

"Trixie hear you…Trixie think that is them." Trixie says.

They all look over to see a shuttle touch down and soon opens to some soldiers as they step out and soon meet up with friends and family. "Blitz?" Twilight and the others call out among the crowd.

"Sharp." Trixie calls holding up a sign.

Sharp chuckles as he walks on over and hugs her. "Hi honey."

"There you are." Trixie says smiling.

Twilight smiles as hears them and looks around. "Blitz?" She called.

"Twi!" Blitz calls.

Twilight jumps up over the crowds of ponies and couldn't see him before feeling a strong hug as she came back down. "Blitz." She said hugging him back.

"Come on Twi, you can't keep me to yourself." Blitz says.

"Daddy." Arcane calls climbing up his back.

Blitz chuckles as he tries to shake him off. "Oh you want to hug from there huh? Well hang on." He said before trying to shake him off as Arcane laughs.

"Dad." Azure says walking up.

Blitz laughs as he grabs him and hugs him. "Hugs for all."

"Wee." Sunshine calls hanging onto him.

Blitz laughs as the mares all watch with the rest of the foals watching him before most of the foals started to crowd him and bring him down. "Help me. I'm drowning in bundles of joys."

"Not a chance." Fleetfoot says holding a sleeping Pearl.

Blitz sits up and looks to her. "Is that…?"

"My daughter. She really takes after you, but has her mother's mane and tail." Fleetfoot says.

Blitz smiles as he sits up and starts to give the foals back to their mothers as he walks over. "What's her name?"

"Pearl Petal." Fleetfoot says.

Blitz smiles as he looks to the foal. "Hey there Pearl. I'm your dad."

"She is asleep and sleeps most of the day." Fleetfoot says.

Blitz chuckles. "Yeah, I do that most of time anyway."

"What did you bring us daddy?" Sunshine asks bouncing on his back.

Blitz sweats now. "Um…"

"Don't forget your droid." Spike calls from the ship as a commando droid steps past him. "Minerva cleaned his system and replaced it with a servant protocol until you need something later. All weapons are cleaned out too."

"My foals, I brought back a new playmate for you." Blitz says as a CIS commando droid walks out.

Twilight's eye twitched. "Blitz?" She asks calmly.

"I thought you could use a bodyguard/playmate/servant to give you girls a break at times and they can color him and make alterations whenever they want." Blitz says.

Twilight takes a breath. "Remind me to add you to the kill list later."

"You won't." Blitz says petting her.

Twilight purrs as she leans into the petting. "That's nice."

"See." Blitz says.

"Sis!" They hear and looks over to see the cmc running to their sisters before hugging them and the foals they were with.

"So how much they going to get chewed out for not telling them their jobs were with Spike leaving the planet?" Blitz asks.

Twilight frowns a bit. "Probably a bit. Though they might understand in the end. Where is he anyway?" She asks as she sees Slender under a cloak trying to stay hidden by the tree line.

The ship's engines were heard and they watch the door closed as it took off back into space. "Um…Spike?" Apple Bloom asks on her omnitool.

"Enjoy yourselves girls. I'll come back for you…maybe." Spike answered.

"Oh, running away from the angry big sisters even though you are off duty, huh?" Blitz asks smirking.

"No, I need to take care of some things on my own. Besides, they have been away too long and they deserve to spend time with their family." Spike replied.

"He is so totally running away scared." Scootaloo says.

"Scoots, just enjoy time. When was the last time you wanted to spend time with your sisters?" Spike asks.

'We'll get you back for hanging us out to dry you.' Scootaloo thinks.

"Also, give Slender a night on the town. She spent too much time with me." Spike said before cutting the line.

"Oh you will pay for that." Slender says.

Twilight raises an eyebrow to Blitz. "What the heck happened?"

"I have been sworn to secrecy." Blitz says.

Twilight looks confused. "Secrecy huh?"

"Yeah, lil' bro has a plan and so do I." Blitz says before nuzzling her.

Twilight purrs and nuzzles him back. "What is your plan?"

"Spending time with my mares and my foals." Blitz says as Applejack helps Minerva into the vehicle they came in.

Twilight grins. "Then let's go. Spitfire and Sunrise is waiting for the father to come in."

"Lead the way queeny." Blitz says.

Twilight just slaps her tail on his face as she walks away.

"Trying to entice with that flank already huh?" Blitz asks.

Twilight chuckles as she kept walking. "You would know 'commander'." She teases as she catches up with the rest.

"You really have missed me." Blitz says getting in.

Spitfire was sitting alone in her room watching the news with Sunrise sleeping next to her.

"How's my new mother and son?" Blitz whispers walking in.

"Blitzy." Spitfire says smiling at him.

Blitz smiles as he walks up to her and hugs her. "You okay? Twilight told me what happened."

"Yeah. The doctors say I can't walk around too much." Spitfire says.

Blitz nods and looks to Sunrise. "Hi there my little colt. I'm your daddy." He whispered.

Sunrise gave no response beside his snoring.

Blitz chuckles and looks back to Spitfire. "You did a great job."

"Yeah, now I just have to heal and get back into form." Spitfire says.

Blitz smiles and nuzzles her. "I love you Spits."

"Easy now, wounded flier here." She reminds.

Blitz smirks. "And when healed up and ready to go, I'll remind you what your position is."

"Oh I know. It is on top of you." Spitfire says putting a hoof on his chest.

Blitz grins. "I thought you liked being on bottom?"

"You wish." Spitfire says smirking before she hears a yawn as somepony awoke.

They both look over and smile as Sunrise yawns and looks to them before smiling and giggling.

"Hey there Sunrise. I'm your dad." Blitz says before booping his stomach.

Sunrise laughs and tries to grab his snout.

"Oh fiery, like your mom huh?" Blitz asks.

Sunrise giggles and grabs him before biting his nose.

"Oh, just like your mom." Blitz says tickling his stomach.

Sunrise giggles and tries to hang on as Blitz kept going before letting up and putting him back down where he let go. "Da."

"Oh he is smart too I see." Blitz says holding him.

Sunrise giggles and hugs him.

"Want to ride on my back little guy?" Blitz asks.

Sunrise cheers. Blitz puts him on his back and walks around. Sunrise cheers as he grabs Blitz's mane as Spitfire smiles at them. Blitz smiles as he gets close to Spitfire before pecking her cheek. Spitfire smiles and pecks him back as she rests down on the bed again. "Can you deal with him for a bit? I got to get some sleep."

"Will do." Blitz says walking out with Sunrise only for Sunrise to start crying. Blitz looks worriedly back to him. "What's wrong my little colt?"

"Ma!" Sunrise cried.

Blitz sighs and walks back in. "Alright. I'll leave you with ma." He said placing him down to Spitfire. "Sorry love, but he wants to be with you." Blitz says as Sunrise crawls to her and snuggles into her.

Spitfire sighs as she looks to him. "Of course. At least he's next to his mother."

"Ma." Sunrise says.

"He's a mama's boy." Blitz says.

Spitfire smirks. "He'll learn. Now let us sleep my little colt." She said wrapping her wing around him. Soon she felt him nursing. "He was hungry."

"Tell me how me how long has he spent away from you?" Blitz asks.

Spitfire sighs. "Hardly a second."

"That explains it." Blitz says.

Spitfire smiles. "Has any other foal left their mother like this?"

"None have been glued to them twenty-four seven." Blitz says.

Spitfire looks to him. "We have to train him. Maybe because you haven't been here."

"Yeah." Blitz says petting Spitfire.

Spitfire purrs. "Spend time with your new foals."

"I can't without you or he will cry." Blitz says.

Spitfire sighs. "We'll train him to spend time away from me."

"If you say so." Blitz says.

Spitfire lays her head down on the bed. "I love you Blitz."

"Love you too." Blitz says before casting a sleeping spell on her and Sunrise. Spitfire snores as Sunrise snores under her wing.

Blitz smiles as he leaves them and closes the door behind him. "I got to find a training book." He said to himself as he walks through the halls.

"Oh Blitzy." Blitz hear a familiar voice.

Blitz looks behind him and sees Diamond. "Hey there. Need something?"

"You." She says leaning against him.

Blitz smiles and nuzzles her. "How are you?"

"Happy you're back." Diamond says.

Blitz chuckles and kisses her cheek. "Good. Now then, how's it been here?"

Diamond shrugs. "Mostly normal. Princess things, births, the foals running around and playing. Even Discord came by to play with them."

"And you feeling lonely and missing our nights together?" Blitz says petting her.

Diamond purrs. "Yep."

"You are going to have to share first night back. So Fluttershy still teaching you sex ed?" Blitz asks.

Diamond shakes her head. "No, why would she?"

Blitz smiles. "Good. Now then, is there any food left?"

"I can think of one meal." Diamond says.

Blitz chuckles and wraps a hoof around her. "You'll get a protein shake soon. Just not here and definitely not here." He said looking around. "Can you take me to Fluttershy?"

"Ok love." Diamond says before they heard Night.

"Hey there sexy." Night said walking up.

"That makes two." Blitz says.

Night giggles as she rubs up against him. "Nice to have you back."

"So who will be number three?" Blitz asks.

"Soarin, she needs it bad." Night says.

Blitz rolls his eyes. "Okay, give me a moment with a few of my mates and I'll give it to her. Deal?"

"Don't forget us." Night says.

Blitz quickly kisses her and let's go with a smirk. "Never. Now then, spending time with family." He said walking off with both of them.

"You know Fluttershy, I just noticed. You haven't gotten a session on dealing with new mares in a long time." He said as he laid down on the bed with her head on his chest.

"I am preparing for my foal." Fluttershy says.

Blitz smiles. "As expected, but don't you feel like you should be doing something like that?"

"Not really." Fluttershy says.

Blitz smirks. "Who have done last time anyway?"

"Let's see…it was Daring." Fluttershy says thinking it over.

Blitz smiles. "More recently. The recent you got."

"Months ago." Fluttershy says.

Blitz shrugs. "Well, you ever needed help with teaching a new mare?"

"No, Twi swore me off Night and Diamond after hearing they never went through sex ed." Fluttershy says.

Blitz hums. "So nopony else? Nopony I need to know about either?"

Fluttershy says nothing.

Blitz looks to her. "Who did you do?"

Fluttershy remains silent and Blitz takes a very deep breath before yelling and all the castle heard it. "TWILIGHTTTTTTTTTTTTT!"

Twilight eeps as she drops her scroll. "Oh shit." He said to herself before walking a bit and then teleporting into Fluttershy's room.

Minutes later, Blitz was pacing back and forth in front of the two mares.

Twilight clears her throat a bit. "Um…we didn't know?" She offered meekly.

Blitz gives her a look and she eeps before he paces again.

Fluttershy just kept looking down. "Why is this so bad?" She asks.

"Did she volunteer or did you force it on Ahsoka?" Blitz asks.

Twilight makes noises as she looks away and rubs her hoof behind her head.

"And you still don't see a problem?" Blitz asks.

They both look to each other worriedly before looking away from each other in a bit of fear.

"Twilight, Fluttershy, you can't keep doing this." Blitz says.

They groan as they look down.

"Girls, if this keeps up…then our marriage might end." Blitz says sadly.

They both look up in shock. "Wha…what?" Twilight tries to ask.

"If being with me results in you forcefully converting girls, this can't continue. This isn't like the Twilight I know and love and Fluttershy, you should know better." Blitz says.

They both whine silently as they bring their heads down.

"You understand this has to change Twi. You weren't like this before…Twilight, let Chrysalis talk now." Blitz says, his tone growing angry.

Twilight groans before she calms down and soon reclines in her seat sultry like. "What do you want?" She asks in a double toned voice.

"You changed my Twilight." Blitz says angrily.

Chrysalis laughs before smirking. "No, I just gave her the means to rebuild the hive and keep it going. Her choice on how to use it, is hers."

Blitz looks at her angrily before sitting in a meditation stance before casting a spell that shoots a beam from his horn to Twilight's.

Twilight groans as she rubs her head as Chrysalis shakes her head next to her. "He doesn't know what is happening to you, does he?" She asks.

"I understand you are hurting my marriage with your actions." Blitz says next to Chrysalis.

Chrysalis look to him and tilts her head a bit. "Why, I just improved it. Made it better." She said proudly as everyone takes a pause.

"Twi, here now." Blitz says.

Twilight perks up and looks between the two on opposite ends of her. "Um…"

Blitz sighs. "Twi, you are not the same ever since this whole connection. Some things I can accept, the increased sexual desire, yes, the desire for new foods that is mostly inedible to ponies, yes, but when it starts making you practically enslaving others to add them to my wives, that is going too far." Blitz says.

Twilight tears up as she looks down. "Wh…wh…why did I accept if you don't want it?"

"Because someone who you let in out of the goodness of your heart has manipulated you." Blitz says holding her.

Chrysalis huffs. "So now you want me gone forever from your life?" She asks turning away from them.

"No, but this cannot continue. Your own actions are about to lead to tearing the hive apart." Blitz says freezing Chrysalis in place.

Chrysalis looks back to them. "So then what would you suggest? Seems the best way is for me to leave her body and pass on. I'll leave all knowledge if you choose that by the way."

"Look how big the family is already and there are already more than two hundred new hatchlings to the hive this year alone. You don't need to push it anymore." Blitz says.

Chrysalis keeps looking back at them before looking away again. "That's true. Though since you mention I did hurt her in a sense and your marriage, I might as well…hey!" She yelled out as she felt something wrap around her midsection and looks to see Twilight hugging her tightly.

"Don't go." Twilight whispered, burying her face into her chitin.

"Alright, I will stay." Chrysalis says sighing.

"Looks like Twi got you wrapped around her hoof." Blitz says.

Chrysalis gives him a slight glare. "Shut up you hunk of stallion meat."

"Yeah, the only one you will never get as it is for my mares only." Blitz says before fading.

Chrysalis shakes her head before looking down to Twilight still hugging her. "You're a good friend." She said smiling a bit as she hugs her back.

Blitz sighs as he walks up to the two mares with Twilight still a bit out of it and to Fluttershy. "We need to talk about the treatment. From now on, no more forcing it onto mares. They must agree and know what they are doing. Second Flutters, you must ask before doing that with another mare and if they say no, it means no and no vampire hypnosis, alright?" Blitz asks.

Fluttershy sighs as she brings her head down. "That's all of them."

"Flutters, this is for two things. Our marriage and the little one on the way." Blitz says.

Fluttershy sniffs. "Blitz, ask yourself. Who would agree?"

"Well you have many a lonely mare here when I am away." Blitz says.

Fluttershy blinks a few. "Blitz, why would they want me? They can have each other anyway."

"You have more confidence in yourself than this." Blitz says trying the jedi mind trick.

Fluttershy looks to him with a raised eyebrow. "What are you doing?" She asks seeing the hoof waving.

"Dang it, I was trying to use the force to give you a confidence boost because that is all you need Flutters." Blitz says petting.

Fluttershy hisses slightly. "Who's hypnotizing who now?"

"It didn't work and I'm not forcing you to do something against your will." Blitz says holding and rocking her the way she likes it.

Fluttershy sighs as she rests her head against his chest. "Do you hate us?"

"No, but we can't be forcing others into something you like, ok?" Blitz asks.

Fluttershy gulps. "Okay. But can you do something?"

"Yes?" Blitz asks.

Fluttershy looks up to him. "Make sure we all have a chance in case we have to leave. Provisions and all."

"Ok." Blitz says.

Fluttershy gulps. "Leave you."

"Nope, you're my wife." Blitz says before raspberrying her stomach.

Fluttershy eeps and then starts giggling as she keeps trying to push him away. "Stop it!"

"No." Blitz says continuing.

Twilight smiles as she wakes up and looks over to see the funny spectacle. "Oh Blitz. Even through all this." She said to herself.

Blitz smirks, hearing that, and uses his magic to lightly pull Twilight's tail.

Twilight eeps and quickly grabs her tail. "Blitz!" She yelled to him.

"You're not out of it yet." Blitz says.

Twilight stares at him. "No nights for the whole time you're here?" She asks slouching with every word.

"No, I didn't say that, but not tonight." Blitz says.

Twilight still whines.

"Tomorrow though, if you can find a partner." Blitz says.

Twilight perks up a bit. "What?"

"You heard me, but it can't be any mare I take tonight." Blitz says.

Twilight slouches now. "No fair."

"It is. Taken turns Twi." Blitz says.

Twilight groans.

Blitz smiles and kisses her cheek. "Enjoy yourselves girls. Just take it easy on hypnotizing. For now, I got to talk to some important ponies." He said kissing Fluttershy's cheek before leaving. "See you later girls."

"You three happy?" Blitz asks the three mares in his bed.

They all moan as they nuzzle him.

"I heard you kissed your Captain." Blitz says turning to one.

Soarin smiles. "A way for getting back at her."

"Oh you can't fool me with that. So you sure you wanted to take the fertility potion before we had fun?" Blitz asks.

Soarin nods as she looks up to him. "Yeah, I want to be with the others here like everypony else."

"Your maternal instincts have really developed since you helped Azure with his preening." Blitz says.

Soarin nods. "Yeah, still can't believe this happened to me."

"So upcoming motherhood, how are you feeling you three?" Blitz asks.

They all look up to him and smile.

"So I'll let you vote amongst yourselves, who did the best job." Blitz says.

"You." They all said.

"Ok, which mare did the best job." Blitz says rephrasing the question.

They all look to each other. "Night." "Me." Night and the others say.

"Then you get a prize." Blitz says.

Night perks up. "What is it?"

Blitz kisses her and whispers. "You get to sit by me tomorrow at breakfast and I will feed you."

Night wiggles in excitement as she nuzzles him.

"Now Diamond and Soarin, I want you to watch the foals for a bit tomorrow, ok?" Blitz asks.

They both nod.

Blitz sighs. "Alright girls, either get some rest or get ready for the day tomorrow because it's almost morning. Your choice." He said and only gets hugs in response. "Sleeping in it is." He said pulling the covers around them again. "Night girls."

"So Minerva, are you ready to deliver your first child?" Blitz asks.

Minerva nods and holds his hoof. "Thanks for being with me…ow…for the time ever since I've been activated."

"Don't act like you're going offline. I plan on being together for many years to come." Blitz says.

Minerva smiles. "I love you Blitz."

"I love you too." Blitz says before crying is heard.

They look to see a dark purple colt unicorn with a black mane being held.

Minerva smiles as they give her the colt. "He's…he's…" She tried to say holding the little bundle.

"Complete organic?" Blitz asks before the scientist comes with a non-radiation portable x-ray.

They watch as he takes the colt and places him on a film before snapping a picture. "Clear." He said before giving the colt back to them and looks to the system. "Huh, weird." He said scratching his head.

"What?" Blitz and Minerva asks.

He moves away to show the screen. "I have no idea what I'm looking at." He said as they see a mixture of bones and organs that seemed to be both organic and metallic. "He seems to be both sides of the same thing yet, it seems all natural. I don't even think he can be classified by current words even."

"Techno organic." Minerva offers.

The scientist scratches his head. "That works." He said before writing it in a book. "So what's the little tyke's name?"

"Tek." Minerva offers.

Blitz raises an eyebrow. "Repeat that."

"Tek." Minerva says smiling as she nuzzles the foal.

Blitz smiles. "Tek? Sounds appropriate. Though, we need a last name. You never had one, but me…hum."

"Ascent." Minerva says.

The doctors write that down. "Enjoy your new life." She said walking away.

"Twilight will flip about this." Blitz says.

Minerva giggles. "When can I leave?"

Blitz smiles and nuzzles her. "The doctors want to keep you overnight to check to make sure nothing happens. So just rest with your new foal. I'll be right here." He said taking a seat next to her.

"Ok." Minerva says before Twilight came in wide eyed and walks up with a zombie like pace.

Blitz chuckles at her reaction. "Yep, our little cyborg gave birth to a hybrid of the two. A natural one at that."

Twilight just kept watching the new mother and foal unresponsive.

Blitz shakes his head. "Twi, we got to rest and so does these two very much. You can stay on one of the beds if you want to study from afar tomorrow."

Still no response. Seeing this, Blitz gets up and walks over and waves a hoof in front of her face with no response. He chuckles a bit and picks her up like a statue before placing her in one of the bed and covers her up. "Sleep well my little restarting brain." He said kissing her cheek and closes her eyes.

"Ok my foals. You still think you can beat me?" Blitz asks as he continues to play racquetball with them.

"Yeah!" They all cheer as they all play against him.

"You're down and you need to score four more times to win while I only need one." Blitz says.

They all pout cutely as they ready their rackets. "We can beat you." Sunshine said cutely.

"Without breaking the laws of physics." Blitz says.

"We can't beat him."

"I'm not giving up." Azure says.

Arcane steps up beside him. "Same here bro."

"There must be a pattern to our dad." Azure says as Blitz bounces the ball on the ground a few times.

Arcane tilts his head a few times and seems to have a few REM state on his eyes before he stops. "Got him. Let's try this." He said moving Azure and Sunshine to certain positions.

Sunshine looks to her spot in the back. "You sure about this?"

"Oh, got an idea of what I have planned and changed up your formation huh? Well let's try this." Blitz says throwing the ball up and acts like is going to spike it, making the three tense and move back, but in the end, barely strikes it making it fly at a moderate pace towards the wall.

They all watch it carefully before Arcane at the front hits it back at almost the same speed.

"Not bad, you reacted quickly to my fake out." Blitz says hitting it after it hit the wall, making it ricque from one wall to another before heading for the ground.

Arcane raises an eyebrow before hitting again and makes it fly high after it hits the wall.

"Not bad son." Blitz says before running to the wall and kicks off of it and smacks the ball back at the wall.

Arcane flies up with a quick flap of his wings and hits it back with a slightly panicked expression.

"A little too hard son." Blitz says landing as the ball ricochets three times off the walls. "Good game you three." Blitz says going to his foals.

Arcane sighs as he lands now. "We still lost."

"The game isn't about winning or losing, it is about having fun and spending time together." Blitz says ruffing Arcane's mane.

Sunshine just throws the racket behind her and makes a cow moo and a cat screech with a dog barking. "So what now?"

"I think I have an idea." Blitz says advancing on Sunshine.

Sunshine growls and barks at him. "Back off. I got teeth." She said baring her teeth.

Blitz smirks before grabbing and starts tickling her.

Sunshine yells out and starts laughing like crazy.

"Who has teeth now little sis?" Azure asks smirking.

Arcane smirks and picks him up. "Hey dad, heads up." He said throwing Azure to Blitz.

"No throwing siblings." Blitz said grabbing Azure and starts tickling him as Arcane chuckles before Blitz pulls him to him as well with his magic.

Arcane yells out as he starts trying to scratch his hooves against the ground to gain the ground.

"No use son." Blitz says picking him up into the air.

Arcane starts flailing in the air as he tries swimming in the air.

Blitz smirks as he grabs Arcane.

Arcane yells as he tries to get out of his grip. "Let me go! Let me go!"

Blitz chuckles as he tickles him. "Never my son."

"Oh that is precious. Isn't it Octavia?" Twilight asks walking in.

Octavia nods as she watches from behind the safety glass. "Yes, one big happy family."

"You going to go in and get Azure for his music lessons?" Twilight asks.

Octavia keeps watching him laugh as it became a free for all tickle fight. "No, I'm going to let him enjoy this."

"So, you shooting for a second child yet?" Twilight asks.

Octavia shakes her head. "No, especially when he's going to be out on war anytime soon and it's best I help keep Azure safe."

Twilight pouts. "Dang it. Who else is going to try the time he is here?"

Octavia looks curiously at her. "You desperate?"

Twilight sighs. "I can only sleep with Blitz if I grab somepony who didn't sleep with him and if I don't get somepony in the time period he is here, I'm not going to be able to sleep with him especially if he gets to everypony else."

Octavia blinks. "Wow, you are desperate."

"I just been through emotional trauma. What do you think?" Twilight talks back deadpan.

"And let me guess, you can't ask who slept with him last week right?" Octavia asks.

Twilight shakes her head. "I got to find one soon or I'll miss my chance before he ships out and his ears are perked this way."

'Try one of the other Vinyls or the other me.' Octavia writes down on a paper before walking past her and puts it in her tail.

Twilight raises an eyebrow as she looks to her tail as Azure rushes out and runs after Octavia. "Wait up mom."

'Foal number two, here I come.' Twilight thinks before incinerating the paper.

Blitz sighs as he comes out with Arcane and Sunshine on his back. "Well that was fun. You two grab something to play. Board game or something."

"Mommy, isn't it time for my magic lesson?" Arcane calls.

Twilight smiles. "Yeah, let's go." She said taking him and placing him on her back as she walks away.

Blitz sighs as he looks back to Sunshine. "So what do you want to…" He stops as he sees Sunshine with a hoof in the air before she seems to zip open the air and pulls herself through it before zipping the air back up and it disappears. "Do? Ah well." He said to himself as he walks down the hall again.

"Enjoying the most you can, aren't you?" Somepony asks Blitz as he looks to a window that has Terra leaning on the window sill as she looks outside.

"Yes, as I will be shipped off again soon and that reminds me, I got to call Ahsoka." Blitz says.

Terra smiles. "Can I talk to you about something important?"

"Shoot." Blitz says.

Terra chuckles a bit. "I need your permission to be with Arcane and get closer as Twilight has kept me away for a long time."

"He will decide whether you will or won't be his wife. It has to be his choice without forcing it." Blitz says.

Terra nods. "Doesn't mean I can't be his close friend. Most don't go for the alicorn unless they are whether very huge or godlike. Look at your princess rulers."

"My granddaughters." Blitz reminds.

Terra waves him off. "Yes dad. My daughters, your granddaughters. But still, you notice the public's reactions, right?"

"You may." Blitz says suddenly, surprising her.

"What? Really? I had a big speech ready and everything." Terra said turning to him surprised.

"Yeah, just like that." Blitz says.

Terra raises an eyebrow. "What about auntie Twilight?"

"She won't give you as much hassle." Blitz says.

Terra looks unconvinced. "She became a big head that breathes fire."

"That was an illusion, besides I will talk to her." Blitz says.

Terra sighs. "Well, time moves forward every day." She said looking outside again.

"Tell me, what was my son like?" Blitz asks.

Terra looks back at him. "Son?"

"Your late husband." Blitz says.

Terra smiles. "Handsomest, smartest, very powerful and most of the time, at times, a good stallion." She said almost lost in a trance.

Blitz is quiet as she goes on.

Terra shakes her head afterwards. "Sorry."

"No, I just wish I could have gotten to know him." Blitz says.

Terra blinks away a tear. "Yes, he would have like you too dad."

"How did he die?" Blitz suddenly asks.

Terra stops for a moment. "I don't know. He just said that…if I got a letter from him that had a few choice words…I would have to become this and get in the box. I don't know what exactly happened to him before that."

"So he coul…never mind." Blitz says.

Terra looks to him carefully. "He could what?"

"Nothing." Blitz says before walking away.

Terra watches as he walks away before sighing and looks outside again. "Yeah, you would have like him."

Blitz waits as the call rings.

The calls are answered as the ringing stops and a video is shown. "Hello?" Ahsoka asks as she came on. "This is Ahsoka Ta…oh, Blitz. You need something?"

"Ahsoka, how are you?" Blitz asks.

Ahsoka smiles. "Just fine. You?"

"Good. So your master make any headway?" Blitz asks.

Ahsoka nods. "Yeah, we're getting the fleet combined and working on our next moves. What about you? Got any plans being done?"

"I have plans, but can you meet me here?" Blitz asks.

Ahsoka looks confused. "Um…sure. Why?"

"Let's just say for your ears only in person." Blitz says.

Ahsoka nods. "Okay. I'll come over in a day or two. Can you tell me why?"

"I don't want to risk someone intercepting this." Blitz says.

Ahsoka nods and gets up a bit. "Okay, I'll come over right now."

"See you soon." Blitz says.

Ahsoka nods and cuts the line.

"Oh Blitz, I found some partners." Twilight says in a singsong voice as she walked in.

Blitz smiles as he turns around. "Who?"

"Three in fact and you have to wait and see." Twilight says in her singsong tone.

Blitz sighs and looks at her. "Twi?"

"Not telling." Twilight says leaving.

"So you got both non pregnant Vinyls and our other Octy huh?" Blitz asks petting Twilight.

Twilight purrs. "Yes. They are the only ones who haven't been touched."

"Well not really. There is Octy, Applejack, Rarity, Pinkie, and Daring." Blitz says.

Twilight nods and looks to him. "So…?"

Blitz smirks and grabs her before kissing her careful not to disturb the three sleeping mares and then let's go. "You're forgiven…for now."

"Ya." Twilight says quietly before falling asleep and Blitz gets up.

Blitz sighs as he wraps the covers around them and looks at them one last time before walking off. "Strange things as always." He said to himself as he walks out and into the halls. "I wonder if anypony is up at this time?" He asks himself as he looks around and notices that the sun is setting already.

"I find new things amazing at times." A voice said and peeks around a corner to see the balcony where he sees Terra and Arcane together watching the sunset.

Blitz shakes his head a bit. "Oh you two. Just be easy Terra." He calls.

"Now keep going just like that." Terra says letting Blitz know she was teaching him to control the sun.

Blitz watches from another window as he walks past and sees Arcane trying to control his magic on the sun and sees it move a bit. "Don't mess up the times by the way. Some of us need to keep track now." He calls again.

"Whatever." Terra called.

"Dad." Arcane says.

"You're doing great." Blitz says as he got a communication that his guest was here.

Blitz sighs as he heads down to their own landing platform for little ships and sees a small ship land on it before opening to Ahsoka walking out. "Hey Ahsoka."

"Hey Blitz." Ahsoka says before picking him up.

Blitz rolls his eyes as he felt himself being petted. "Why?" He drones out.

"Because." Ahsoka says smirking.

Blitz huffs as he just lets her pets him. "How about we go to a private room for now?"

"Lead the way." Ahsoka says.

Blitz doesn't look at her. "I can't when you're still holding me."

"Point the way." Ahsoka says.

Blitz sighs and points with his hoof and she follows it to where she went into a room filled with books like a study. "This should do it. Close the door and put me down on the reclining couch." Blitz said frowning that she was still holding him.

Ahsoka follows his instructions as she puts him down.

Blitz sighs in relief as he lays down on the couch and reclines on it. "Now we got the biggest thing that could get both is us in trouble." He said putting a spell after she closed the door.

"That is?" Ahsoka asks.

Blitz groans. "Hypnotism on you. Fluttershy and Twilight got you."

"Huh?" Ahsoka asks before Blitz explained in detail.

Ahsoka stops for a bit as she sat by him. "So…I can be controlled?"

"Yeah." Blitz says.

Ahsoka looks to him. "So…what now?"

"We can try and undo it." Blitz says.

Ahsoka looks him over as he looked like he was trying to rest. "Why did they do this anyway?"

"I gave you the heads up on Chrysalis and the event leading up to Twilight becoming a queen right?" Blitz asks.

Ahsoka nods. "Yeah, what about it?"

"Chrysalis left a mental command. Make the hive grow." Blitz says.

Ahsoka just gets confused. "Okay, so…why is that so…" She stops as she realizes who would be king.

"Exactly." Blitz says.

Ahsoka looks to him. "So then I would have to be…to you…"

"Your term for it?" Blitz ask.

Ahsoka tries to speak. "Wife?" She offered.

"If you want." Blitz says.

Ahsoka looks surprised. "What?"

"You heard me." Blitz says.

Ahsoka tries to speak. "But…why? Why me?"

"I could ask you the same." Blitz says.

Ahsoka looks away from him as she thought about it. "You know I would have to leave if I do, right?"

"Not necessarily. Your master hasn't." Blitz says.

Ahsoka grows confused. "What?"

"Take a look." Blitz says showing her a video of Anakin's wedding. "You would not believe what Minerva went through to get this data."

Ahsoka looks on in complete shock. "But…that's against…" She stops and puts her hand on her head. "Everything is falling apart more."

"Well the jedi do allow it sometimes. Remember one of your masters of the council and is a husband and has a father." Blitz reminds.

Ahsoka sighs. "Yeah, the whole thing is falling apart."

"No, it's just not as cohesive as you thought it was." Blitz says before a spell hit Ahsoka without her notice.

Blitz looks up and raises an eyebrow at the sight as Ahsoka groans and sits up again. "Okay, that hurt." Ahsoka said rubbing her head.

"Welcome to being a pony." Blitz says smirking.

Ahsoka blinks and looks over herself. "What the…?" She asks looking to her hooves and body.

"So how does it feel?" Blitz asks.

Ahsoka raises an eyebrow. "Different really."

Blitz smirk as he starts petting her. "Now who is petable?"

Ahsoka frowns at him. "Hey."

"Oh, not liking it? Hold on." Blitz says before using his amulet to transform into humanoid form and starts scratching her mane.

Ahsoka eeps before sighing in relief. "That feels good." She said leaning into his scratching.

"Oh, do tell." Blitz says.

Ahsoka smiles and keeps leaning in. "Like I'm being massaged."

Blitz smirks before stopping and reverts to pony form.

Ahsoka whines as she felt no more scratching.

"How does it feel?" Blitz asks.

Ahsoka sighs after claiming down. "Pretty good. Um…can I change back?"

"Twi casted a spell on you. We will need her to undo it after we talk." Blitz says.

Ahsoka looks to him. "And…if I don't want to?"

"Talk first, then you get back to normal." Blitz says looking her over.

Ahsoka nods and notices him staring. "What?"

"You are quite attractive as a pony." Blitz says.

Ahsoka blushes. "Real…really?"

"Yeah." Blitz says leaning against her.

Ahsoka blushes harder as she felt him almost asleep against her. "Um…?"

"So you had no idea this whole time your master and Naboo's senator were hitched?" Blitz asks.

Ahsoka shakes her head as she kept watching him. "No, not really."

Blitz and Ahsoka talked for a few more hours before Blitz got up. "You think you can walk like that?" Blitz asks.

Ahsoka tilts her head and looks to her leg. "Um…" She got off the couch and immediately fell down. "Ow."

"Takes some getting used to." Blitz says helping her up and lets her use him to find her balance.

Ahsoka looks to him. "So…if it so happens…would you take me in?"

"We had this conversation before Ahsoka." Blitz says helping her walk a few feet.

Ahsoka smiles a bit. "Just checking. Anyway, what are we going to do now when we ship out?"

"Business." Blitz says.

Ahsoka nods. "But when we meet each other on the field, what will we do and talk like?"

"Just act normally as your master and others know we act like that to each other and won't see a difference." Blitz says.

Ahsoka nods as she kept trying to walk. "You know, this ain't half bad."

"Just gets a little used to four legs right?" Blitz asks.

Ahsoka nods. "Yeah. Guess it's best to try the culture and life here."

"Not too hard as you are a unicorn right now." Blitz says tapping her horn.

Ahsoka tries to look up and feels around her head. "Huh, so that's what that is."

"Yeah, you're just like me." Blitz jokes.

Ahsoka keeps tapping her horn. "So…what can I do?"

"That will take years to teach." Blitz says.

Ahsoka tilts her head. "But I know the force."

"And I knew magic and it took me a while to just get a connection." Blitz says.

Ahsoka chuckles. "Guess we're opposite of each other here."

"Kind of in that respect." Blitz says.

Ahsoka smiles as she lets him go. "You're a pretty good guy Blitz."

"And you make a good mare." Blitz says nudging her and she does the same back.

Ahsoka smiles as she keeps pushing back and soon it back a nudging contest. "Come on Blitz. I learned balance."

"But can you walk?" Blitz asks pushing her back.

Ahsoka grins and keeps pushing him. "Touchy that the male here can't beat a good female."

"No, actually female are in charge here, remember?" Blitz asks.

Ahsoka smiles and then grins. "So am I in charge of you?"

"Oh heck no, you aren't a local." Blitz says leaning against her lightly.

Ahsoka raises an eyebrow. "But I'm female."

"Not registered officially yet." Blitz jokes.

Ahsoka scoffs. "Maybe not yet."

"But, you will right?" Blitz asks making her smile.

Ahsoka nods. "Yeah, maybe soon will be. Though I need to deal with problems with being away from the republic. I don't think they would like it."

"Ahsoka, there is something else." Blitz says.

Ahsoka raises an eyebrow. "What is it?"

"Looking back, I suspect my son Arcane is showing signs of being force sensitive." Blitz whispers into her ear.

Ahsoka flicks her ear at him. "What makes you say that?" She whispered.

"It's a feeling." Blitz says before telling her of the strange things that Arcane would know or sense from time to time.

Ahsoka hums. "From the sound of it, could be he is one. Though, with the treaty and making your planet the exception, I can't really test him without alerting everyone else."

"Ahsoka, this is a lot to ask, but if he is, can you help me train him?" Blitz asks.

Ahsoka smiles. "Sure. But we need to find out if he is one."

"Thanks." Blitz says hugging her.

Ahsoka smiles and hugs him back. "Yep, a good man."

"And you are definitely a good mare." Blitz says.

Ahsoka sighs. "So what now?"

"Want to stay as a pony for a bit longer or turn back to normal?" Blitz asks.

Ahsoka smiles. "Can I spend some time with you like this?"

"If you wish, but I would have to teach you everything, including bathrooms." Blitz says giving Ahsoka a horrified expression.

Ahsoka raises an eyebrow. "Um…had to go in the field sometimes."

"Yeah, pony biology a little different." Blitz informs.

Ahsoka huffs. "I need a mare anyways to tell me about my body."

"One moment." Blitz says before texting Twilight to come.

Ahsoka smiles. "You getting one of your wives to help me?"

"She is a mare." Blitz says. Ahsoka sighs and sits down. "Sitting on tail." He said to which Ahsoka looks down and tries to control her tail from sitting on it. "Mares do that to cover their…marehood." Blitz says whispering the last word.

Ahsoka blushes as she slowly turns to him.

"See, much to learn." Blitz says noticing she still had her clothes only a pony version of them.

Ahsoka blushes and covers herself with her hooves. "Eyes off."

"I wasn't expecting you to keep your clothes in pony form. That has only ever happened to me, but I thought only because I wear clothes when the spell is casted on me." Blitz says.

Ahsoka frowns a bit. "I like my clothes."

"Same, but I wonder because when Twilight uses the spell on another one of the mares, they have clothes in the humanoid form." Blitz says.

Ahsoka raises an eyebrow. "And you?"

"Same as the things I wear. That is what puzzles me." Blitz says.

Ahsoka shrugs. "Huh, have you tried wearing another set of clothes?"

"Ah, no, we haven't tried it for fear something could happen." Blitz says.

Ahsoka nods. "Makes sense since you are changing the clothing also."

"Could be harmless, could cause something to happen." Blitz says as Twilight overhears them walking up.

"Who's the victims?" Twilight asks.

"Huh?" Blitz says turning around to see Twilight.

"Oh, it sounds interesting." Rainbow says with Lightning Blast and Rainbow Spectrum in hoof asleep as she walks in with Daring.

Blitz smiles as he walks over to her and nuzzles her and the twins. "How are they?"

"Good. Daring can watch them foals while me and you here do the experiment." Rainbow says smirking.

"Wait, what?!" Blitz yells as quietly as he could.

Twilight smirks as she takes the twins away from Rainbow and holds them. "Ahsoka, can you hold them?" She asks passing them to her.

"What about me?" Daring asks.

Twilight smiles. "You can help her. She needs to understand our life."

"I meant, I can watch the twins." Daring says.

Twilight rolls her eyes. "You will watch over them. Now then." She said lightning up her horn.

"Wait, not in the hallway. Remember the incident with the age spell." Blitz says.

Twilight hums. "Good point." She said before wrapping them in a bubble with another bubble of magic inside. "Now I can do it." She said before the inner bubble dissolved and the magic was let go and they both got bathe in magic. But is stopped by Blitz's magic bubble.

"I was thinking in the lab with the anti-magic protection and I haven't agreed to this yet." Blitz says.

Twilight raises an eyebrow. "You already did."

"No, I didn't." Blitz says.

"Blitzy." Rainbow says leaning against him.

Blitz slouches. "I did."

"Go to the lab." Twilight says.

Blitz groans as he follows Rainbow with Twilight following them smirking.

"Want to watch?" Daring asks.

"Yes." Ahsoka says following them.

Twilight chuckles as Blitz was following Rainbow to the big white X. "So, ready yet?" She asks as the shields was placed around them.

"I ain't." Blitz says unhappy as he was naked.

Rainbow chuckles and nudges him. "Come on. It'll be fun."

Blitz takes a sideways glance at her but says nothing as Twilight casted the spell.

Blitz groans as he looks around and see himself in his humanoid form's casual wear. "Dang it."

"Oh, toughen up. Now what Twi?" Rainbow asks.

Twilight smiles and lights up her horn again. "Now for the main spell. Switch clothes though."

"Oh boy." Blitz says blushing and facepalming.

Twilight smirks. "Strip."

Rainbow starts stripping and after she was done, starts making Blitz strip to his embarrassment. Ahsoka, watching this, couldn't help but blush.

Blitz groans a bit as he wears Rainbow's clothing now. "I don't think the panties and bra would work here." He said deadpan.

"Well for the experiment to work, you have to wear each other's clothes completely." Twilight says.

Blitz groans as he looks to Rainbow looking over his clothes that she was now wearing. "I now can see why guys wear this. This is more comfortable."

"Twilight, do it now or I am going to change back." Blitz says. Twilight smirks as she sends the spell she held to them and hits them. Blitz coughs as he the smoke cleared. "Okay, so now what?" He asks before realizing he sounded different and looks down at himself. "Oh boy." He said seeing Rainbow's coat and looks himself over in slight shock.

"Well is there any…why do I sound like Blitz?" Rainbow asks.

Blitz looks to Rainbow and sees himself and screams a high pitched scream. "NOOOOOOO!"

"Oh my…this is hilarious." Twilight says snickering

Both Ahsoka and Daring snicker as well as Rainbow looks over herself and looks between her legs. "Huh, so that's what that feels like."

"Twilight, when I get out of here, you better run!" Blitz yells angrily as she kept snickering.

Daring chuckles. "Yeah, this is going to be a fun experiment."

"Twilight, turn us back to normal!" Blitz yells.

"Oh Rainbow, it sounds like somepony is stressed out." Twilight says.

"Oh, don't you dare." Blitz says getting what she was thinking.

Rainbow smirks as she walks up to him in his body and holds him. "I can see why you do it like this." She said before kissing him.

Blitz glare before pushing Rainbow off. "Rainbow." Blitz says warningly.

Rainbow gains a sad face. "What's wrong? You don't want any love 'Rainbow'?"

"Rainbow, I am not gay. I don't like stallions that way." Blitz says.

Rainbow groans. "No fair Rainbow. I thought you liked doing other mares and even then, you wanted me every night."

"Rainbow no. Bad." Blitz scolds as Rainbow smirks.

Rainbow looks to herself before smirking even more. "Now Rainbow, you will have no nights if you keep this up. Try and behave and I'll give you a night with no hold backs." She said in a lecture tone.

"Rainbow Ma…" Blitz's mouth was instantly covered.

"Do not use my middle name." Rainbow hissed.

Blitz pushes her hoof away. "We will be changed back."

"Nope, I think I will leave you like this for a bit." Twilight says.

"Twilight!" Blitz yells running at her and just bangs on the shield.

"This isn't funny anymore Twilight." Rainbow says.

Twilight giggles as she walks. "Come on, this is funny."

"Not anymore. I am getting a weird feeling looking at my own flank." Rainbow says making Blitz pale and stop as he covers up his flank more with his tail.

Twilight sighs. "Fine." She groans before lighting up her horn. "You owe me." She said before blasting them with the spell. When the light dies down, Blitz is Rainbow's humanoid form and vice versa. "Um…switch clothes?" Twilight meekly offers.

"Quickly!" Blitz says stripping of his.

Rainbow groans as she tries to take hers and tosses it to him while putting on her own clothes. "Well it was fun while it lasted."

"Twi, now." Blitz says after they finished.

Twilight sends another spell at them and soon sees them in pony form after the smoke cleared. "There. You are you, right?" She asks curiously.

She received no answer, but Blitz teleported in front of her.

Twilight shrinks back from the harsh glare he had. "Um…in the name of science?"

"Never again. I know what feeling Rainbow was getting and she doesn't know how to control such urges and would have…fucked me." Blitz whispered the last part into her ear after the pause.

Twilight goes wide eyed. "Okay." She whispered.

"Good." Blitz says walking away, no longer mad. Making Twilight sigh in relief. "Now help Ahsoka with being a pony." Blitz says starting to get dressed.

Twilight looks back to Ahsoka rocking the twins.

"Are you serious?" Spitfire asks as Blitz was eating with the wonderbolt and shadowbolt members of his wives.

Blitz nods. "Yeah, she did change us and now we know what not to do."

"It was weird looking at myself too." Rainbow says.

Blitz huffs. "Trust me, it didn't feel right."

"Wait, then how do we know you are really Rainbow and you're my Blitzy?" Soarin asks.

Blitz grumbles before all the mares realized they had food on their faces. "Good enough?" He groaned.

"No." Soarin says.

"Ok then." Blitz starts whispering into Soarin's ear making her pale a bit.

Soaring gulps. "It's him."

"Good mare." Blitz says petting.

Soaring purrs under his ministrations as she leans in. "That's nice."

"So Spitfire, you feeling better?" Blitz asks as she was still in the wheelchair.

Spitfire nods. "Yeah, I can move better too." She said rocking Sunrise.

"Good to hear." Blitz says looking at the sleeping colt as Fleet had Pearl sleeping in a crib not far away.

Fleetfoot sighs. "Nice to be out of that room now."

"If only for a bit, the doctors still don't want me moving around much." Spitfire says.

Blitz smiles. "Good. Those stitches need to stay or you're staying in bed. More paperwork." He sang at the end.

"I get it." Spitfire says pouting before she felt somepony massaging her shoulders.

Blitz smirks. "How does that feel?"

"Good." Spitfire says smiling.

Blitz nods and nuzzles her head a bit. "Good, can't have my mates feeling too cranky. Unless their name is cranky."

Spitfire lifts Sunrise up for him to boop Blitz's nose.

Blitz chuckles and he nuzzles Sunrise making him giggle and try to grab him.

"So Soarin, Night tells me you, Diamond, and her took the potion before having fun huh?" Spitfire asks.

They all nod. "Yeah, we had too if we wanted to join you guys." Soarin said.

"You know all that what you did entails right?" Fleet asks.

Soarin sighs. "No flying."

"Not only that, but you know what that entails with your anatomy?" Rainbow asks.

Soarin thinks on that. "Foal?"

Fleetfoot sighs. "Fluttershy, are you busy?" Fleetfoot called on her omnitool.

"Not really. Why?" Fluttershy answered.

"I think you need to give another lesson this time on what to expect from pregnancy." Fleetfoot says.

Fluttershy perks up. "To whom?"

"Soarin, DD, and Night." Fleet says.

Fluttershy sighs. "Okay, send them by my room later."

"Need to prepare the chalkboard?" Fleetfoot asks.

Fluttershy giggles. "Yep."

"K." Fleetfoot says cutting the line.

"So has Shadow had no energy for how long?" Blitz asks looking at the sleeping Shadow.

Spitfire smiles. "About a few hours."

"I meant how long has this gone on because she has had no energy while I was here." Blitz says.

Spitfire sighs. "A few days at most. I usually find her in bed until three."

"Could it be her pregnancy?" Blitz asks.

Spitfire shrugs. "Could be. We did feel tired after a while."

"Guess Shadow has gotten it worse than all of you?" Blitz asks petting the sleeping Shadow.

Spitfire shrugs as Shadow snorts. "Guess so. Maybe it's…you know…her past."

"Not so sure." Blitz says before kissing her nose.

Shadow sniffs as she mumbles in her sleep.

"So you think you will be here for the rest of the mares going into labor?" Rainbow asks.

Blitz sighs. "I don't know. It's hard to say."

"I want you here." Shadow says waking up from hearing that as she wraps her hooves around him.

Blitz grunts at her strong grip before hugging her back. "Hey sexy."

"My Blitzy is here." Shadow says happily.

Blitz chuckles and nuzzles her. "How are you my dear?"

"Mood swing?" Spitfire asks casting a sideways glance at Soarin.

Shadow giggles like crazy as she nuzzles Blitz.

"Yeah, from what I know." Soarin says.

Shadow starts laughing like crazy as she fully wraps her legs around Blitz and lets him carry her.

"By the way, where is Mary and Sonata?" Fleetfoot asks.

"Oh, they left their communicators and went on a cruise not long before Blitz came back." Rainbow says.

They all look to her. "What?" Blitz asks.

"Didn't we tell you?" Rainbow asks.

Blitz frowns a bit as Shadow nuzzles his neck. "No you didn't."

"What day is it anyways?" Rainbow asks.

Blitz scratches his head. "The 24th, wh…" Blitz was cut off when the front door was kicked open.

"We're back!" Mary calls.

Blitz shrugs. "Ah well. No matter. Hey mom."

Mary gasps. "My baby!" Mary calls rushing over to him.

Blitz goes wide eyed. "Wait, wait!"

Mary stops, seeing he was holding Shadow.

Blitz sighs in relief and looks to Shadow. "Time to let go my mare." He said poking her.

"No I want to…is Sonata holding a foal?" Shadow asks.

Blitz goes wide eyed at the mare as Sonata came in with a bundle. "Is…that…?"

"Blitz, you're back." Sonata says happily.

Blitz just taps Shadow's back. "Shadow, let go of me."

"Ok, on present circumstances." Shadow says letting him go.

Blitz wordlessly walks over to Sonata as she shows the foal to him. "So…the foal is…?"

"A pegasus." Sonata says brushing her daughter's arctic blue mane.

Blitz smiles as he slowly pets her mane. "She beautiful. What happened?"

"She was born in the middle of a storm at sea if you can believe that." Mary says.

Blitz keeps smiling as he keeps petting her mane. "You gave her a name yet?"

"Roaring Tide." Sonata says smiling.

Blitz chuckles. "Nice name. Did she get anything from you, like your old form?"

Sonata moves the bundle to show her ears were a little aquatic in nature.

Blitz leans down to Tide. "Huh, so she's a siren. What are the early patterns for foals?"

"She doesn't have a tail." Sonata says.

Blitz grows confused. "What?"

"I don't think she is a full siren." Sonata says showing that besides her ears, Tide's body was completely pony.

Blitz hums. "Guess that makes a few patterns easier. But what about the need to feed on negative emotions?"

"That doesn't develop until somewhere around teenager." Sonata says booping her nose to Tide's.

Blitz sighs in relief. "The only problem is finding a good source unless this family starts falling apart around that time."

"Don't worry, leave that to her mama. Right my little Tide?" Sonata asks.

Tide yawns cutely as she still sleeps.

"See?" Sonata says smirking.

Blitz smiles and kisses both of their heads. "I love you two."

"She also had quite a time fishing before and a little after the delivery didn't you?" Mary asks.

Sonata blushes. "Yes…well…"

"She ate like a queen every night from her catch alone." Mary says.

Blitz chuckles. "So you happy you got your tricks and old body back?"

"Well maybe not my old body, but I got my old tricks back." Sonata says before Blitz noticed a dark blue jewel that seemed to be embedded into Tide's chest, though it is hard to make out with her dark blue coat.

"Is that…?" Blitz asks leaning in.

"Ah, you spotted her focus." Sonata says.

Blitz raises an eyebrow. "Focus?"

"For her hypnotic singing powers." Sonata says tapping the necklace she wore around her neck.

Blitz rubs his head. "Just make sure she doesn't go too crazy."

"So Rainbow, we going to have fun with our stallion in those forms like we talk about?" Sonata asks.

Rainbow chuckles. "Maybe. Just need to get him to the rooms."

"Girls, what about your foals?" Fleetfoot asks smirking because she knew what they were up to.

"Can you take care of them for us as you are their mother too?" Rainbow asks giving her puppy eyes.

Fleetfoot rolls her eyes. "Fine. Just don't go crazy."

"Three rounds." Rainbow jokes.

Fleetfoot shakes her head. "Oh boy."

"Kidding." Rainbow says.

"Or were you?" Fleetfoot asks.

"I was kidding." Rainbow says smirking as she is hit in the back of the head by the beach volleyball her foals were playing with.

Fleetfoot smirks. "Hah."

"Those little tykes." Rainbow says smiling as she looked at them.

Blitz smiles a bit. "I really love you all."

"We love you to…why is Spitfire in a wheelchair?" Mary asks.

Blitz sighs. "She had to have an emergency C-section."

"Oh my gosh, are you ok?" Sonata asks rushing up to her.

Spitfire nods. "Yeah, even my son, Sunrise." She said holding him up.

"Oh, he is like you with inverted colors." Sonata says.

Spitfire nods. "Yeah, he's a miracle foal for going through that."

"So you can't move around much?" Mary asks not familiar with a C-section.

Spitfire nods. "Yeah, or the stitches will come out."

"Mom, basically what they did…" Blitz says before whispering what a C-section entailed.

Mary paled a bit. "But…why…?"

"Complication that would have killed both her and the foal." Blitz says.

Mary paled even further. "But…"

"It was to save their lives." Blitz says holding her.

Mary gulps as she tries to hug him back.

"It's ok mom, they are fine. Look them over." Blitz says.

Mary looks over to them to see Spitfire giggling as she nuzzled Sunrise.

"Yeah, they look good." Mary says smirks.

Blitz smiles as he lets go of her. "Good, now lunch?"

"My baby." Mary says not letting go.

Blitz smiles and chuckles a bit. "I'm not leaving mum."

"I know, I just want to hold you for a bit more." Mary says smiling.

Blitz shakes his head. "Yeah, baby boy and everything."

"Grandma!" Mary hears.

Mary smiles and turns around. "Kids." She cheered as she was jumped on by most of the foals.

"Grandma, your back." Azure says.

Mary giggles and hugs them all. "Yep. And I am not leaving since one of us got into trouble."

"Yeah, why did you shoot that stallion in the hind leg?" Sonata asks.

Mary smirks. "Because he was bothering me."

"Which one?" Blitz asks.

Mary grins. "Oh, just this old stallion who was a bit rich. Thought I looked good for my age and decided to try his luck."

"Did you inform him you had a foal?" Blitz asks.

Mary hums and waves a hoof around. "Maybe."

"Were you drunk or should I say tipsy?" Blitz asks.

Mary grins. "Maybe a bit of both."

"That's my mum." Blitz says happily.

Mary chuckles. "Yep, pirate extraordinaire."

Blitz sighs. "So…how about when you tried to flirt with him back?"

"Oh no. Never did that." Mary says.

Blitz raises an eyebrow. "Really?"

"Nope, swore to never flirt with another again after your father passed." Mary says.

Blitz smiles. "Thanks mum. But I think he would want you to be happy."

"I am. I took so much pleasure in shooting him." Mary says before chuckling evilly.

Blitz just raises an eyebrow.

"Your mother has a dark side to her." Sonata says.

Blitz just shakes his head.

"Blitz!" Twilight calls from somewhere in the castle.

Blitz goes wide eyed for a moment. "What's she looking for now?" He harshly whispered to them.

"Um…what happened?" Mary and Sonata ask confused.

Blitz frowns. "A really bad spell."

Rainbow walks up and whispers into Mary's ear.

Mary then smiles and then giggles. "I always wanted a daughter too." Mary says before falling down from laughing.

"Huh?" Sonata asks before Rainbow whispered into her ear.

Sonata giggles and smirks. "Oh my. I wonder what the change felt like?"

"Really weird. The stallion body has so many different feelings." Rainbow says.

Sonata laughs out loud as she tried to keep herself up. "You…did you…?"

"Don't even go there, we have foals here." Blitz says.

Rainbow chuckles a bit. "It felt a bit weird having some extra weight though."

"Well unicorns are a bit of a heavy body type than pegasi." Twilight says walking in, oblivious what was being talked about mostly.

Blitz sighs. "What is it Twi?"

"Blitzy, I received a requisition for us to attend a ceremony." Twilight says.

Blitz raises an eyebrow. "What ceremony?"

"We have finally completed the first prototype spaceship built by our planet. They are holding a festival for three days with a ceremony to be held on the fourth to commission its launch." Twilight says.

Blitz smiles a bit. "About time. Let's get ready to go there."

"We will leave tomorrow. Oh Mary and Sonata, you're back." Twilight says noticing them.

They both nod. "Yes and why do we need to be there anyway?" Mary asks.

"Well mainly it's asking for me and Southern Cross separately. Celestia had Blitz's invitation delivered to me, but I figured the rest of us could go for some fun." Twilight says as Ahsoka walks in.

Ahsoka smiles as she looks to the pile of Mary under the foals. "What's all the commotion?"

"Um Blitzy, did you get a new mare while I was gone?" Mary asks confused at the new unicorn.

Blitz goes a bit wide eyed. "Oh boy. I forgot. Meet Ahsoka Tano. Our residential alien." He said a bit nervously.

"That's not a…" Mary was cut off by Twilight.

"Mary, remember that spell I casted on you that turned you into a bipedal?" Twilight asks.

Blitz raises an eyebrow. "Wait, when did you change her?"

"We got bored one day while you were away overseeing the construction of an AA tower defense system." Twilight says showing them a picture of Mary in her humanoid form.

Blitz goes wide eyed as Mary smirks as she leans on him. "Yeah, I still look hot."

"I thought that was a given." Blitz says looking at his mom as he feeds her ego.

Mary chuckles as she keeps looking at the picture. "Could still catch many eyes too."

"You're going to become a heartbreaker by trade." Blitz says making her laugh.

Mary laughs. "You got that right my boy."

"Well I think I get where Blitz gets some of it now." Ahsoka says.

Twilight leans over. "Want me to change you back?"

"No, I want you to teach me unicorn magic which you have been avoiding." Ahsoka says.

Twilight sighs. "What spells?"

"Telekinesis." Blitz and Ahsoka say at the same time.

Twilight shakes her head a bit. "Okay. Shall we?" She asks pointing away into the halls.

"How did you know?" Ahsoka asks.

"Because ponies lack something you had. Fingers." Blitz says.

Ahsoka smirks. "But you like them."

"Yes, they are quite useful." Blitz says ignoring the taunt of the statement, making Ahsoka frown in disappointment and get a little worried at his smirk that soon followed.

"What you thinking?" She asks carefully.

"I think I will sit in on this lesson." Blitz says.

Ahsoka gulps silently. "Oh boy."

Ahsoka is then lead off by Twilight with Blitz following.

"And that is the basic formula for the spell." Twilight says as Ahsoka felt like she just sat through a lecture on higher space travel mathematics.

Blitz smirks as he leans over. "Too much, ain't it?"

"No wonder your species is grasping space travel so quickly." Ahsoka says before feeling herself being scratched by fingers through her mane.

"That help?" Blitz asks.

Ahsoka sighs in relief as she lays her head on the desk. "Yep."

Blitz smirks as he pulls Twilight to him. Twilight didn't notice it as she had her eyes closed and kept lecturing, but stopped when she felt Blitz scratching her head through her mane.

Twilight hums and leans in close. "That's nice."

"You know it." Blitz says.

Twilight giggles and still leans in close. "Can you go up to my horn…that's it."

"Right here?" Blitz asks petting near her horn.

Twilight hums as she nuzzles him. "I love you."

"What about you Ahsoka?" Blitz asks.

Ahsoka hums as she leans in more. "I love this."

"Oh, what about this?" Blitz asks starting to scratch her around her horn.

Ahsoka purrs. "That's nice."

"So how do you feel now?" Blitz asks.

Ahsoka smiles. "Better. No headache too."

Blitz picks her up and sits her into his lap and scratches her around her horn and under her chin.

Ahsoka purrs and keeps nuzzling into his scratching. "Now I know why…oh that's good…you like this."

"And?" Blitz asks as Twilight smirks.

"Never saying what you want." Ahsoka says resisting.

Blitz smirks as he scratched at her neck. "Now?"

"No." Ahsoka says.

Blitz raises an eyebrow before just stopping now. "Okay then."

Ahsoka sighs before Blitz turns back to pony form and hugs her.

Ahsoka looks to him slightly. "What are you doing?"

"Hugging you." Blitz says.

Ahsoka rolls her eyes. "Let me go."

"Oh just relax." Blitz says using his amulet to turn into a pegasus and wrap his wings around her.

Twilight smirks. "You know Blitz, you sort of are an alicorn at this point."

"Don't go there and I don't want to be one." Blitz says.

Twilight giggles. "Might be fun and you get to be bigger. More ways than one."

"No Twilight." Blitz says firmly as Ahsoka feels his wings.

Ahsoka hums as she scratches his feathers. "Feels so soft."

"Yes they do." Blitz says.

Ahsoka hums happily as she messes with his wings. "Not bad."

"Oh, so you will marry Blitz?" Twilight teases.

Ahsoka frowns. "Hey now. I still got a job."

"So?" Twilight asks still teasing.

Ahsoka huffs. "I still got a job. I can't do much in that department."

"So? Almost all with a job are married." Twilight says smirking.

Ahsoka glares at her slightly. "My job is different."

"How so? How are you different from others? Why are you forbidden from finding happiness?" Twilight asks.

Ahsoka blinks a few times. "What?"

"You heard me." Twilight says seriously.

Blitz smiles. "I'm not the only one with the weird ideas of the code."

"Your jedi code makes no sense in too many places." Twilight says.

Ahsoka raises an eyebrow. "I noticed."

"That's enough for now Twi." Blitz says.

Twilight shrugs. "Just saying."

Blitz starts petting Ahsoka to calm her down.

Ahsoka purrs again. "That's nice."

"You want to try Telekinesis now?" Blitz asks.

Ahsoka nods. "Sure. Might be nice." She said lost in the petting.

"Ok, try on that small empty box over there." Blitz says.

Ahsoka hums as she looks over and tries to focus on it as her horn meekly glows blue. "Can't…see it." She strained.

"Don't give up so soon. You're getting there." Blitz says.

Ahsoka takes a breath before going again as her horn now held a steady low glow with the box being started to be covered in it. "There it is…no!" She cried out as her horn dies down.

The box falls back down. "You did well Ahsoka." Blitz says.

Ahsoka frowns. "Well? I couldn't even grab the thing fully."

"You got it." Blitz says.

Ahsoka raises an eyebrow. "What?"

"You had the right idea, but you lost it at the end." Blitz says.

Ahsoka shrugs. "What do you think."

"Twilight?" Blitz asks.

Twilight waves a hoof half way. "Good new user for the beginners try."

"See." Blitz says petting her again.

Ahsoka huffs as she looks away slightly. "Still can't do it."

"It takes times Soky." Blitz says.

Ahsoka looks shocked. "Soky?!"

"My new pet name for you." Blitz says.

Ahsoka frowns. "No it can't be."

"Oh, what should your pet name be Soky?" Blitz asks smirking petting her.

Ahsoka rolls her eyes. "Ahsoka."

"No." Blitz says smirking, knowing she was in his power from the petting.

Ahsoka tries to squirm away from him. "Yes."

"No." Blitz says before, to his surprise, Twilight kisses her horn.

Ahsoka eeps and tries to move away from her as she blushes, but move into Blitz.

"Twi." Blitz says noticing the mischievous smirk she had.

Twilight looks innocent. "What?"

"I think that is enough for now." Blitz says.

Ahsoka huffs. "Yeah, it is."

"Come on Soky, I will tuck you in." Blitz says.

Ahsoka just glares at him.

"Oh, want me to sleep in the same bed." Blitz jokes making Ahsoka smirk.

Ahsoka chuckles. "You want to meditate in bed?"

Blitz could only raise an eyebrow at her as he turns back to a unicorn.

Ahsoka giggles. "Now I feel better. So let me go."

"Ok." Blitz says letting her go with a smile.

Ahsoka sighs as she jumps down and stretches. "Now can you change me back?"

"You sure?" Twilight asks.

Ahsoka nods. "Yeah, I may have to get back to work tomorrow and I can't go like this."

"I see. It was great having you here." Blitz says picking her up in this hooves with a hug.

Ahsoka eeps a bit as she hangs onto him. "Let me go."

Blitz smiles and holds her.

Ahsoka frowns and pokes his chest. "Let me go."

"Love you too my huggable mare." Blitz says.

Ahsoka rolls her eyes and keeps poking him.

"Alright, I got you back enough." Blitz says putting her down.

Ahsoka shakes herself before walking a bit away. "Change. Now." She said tapping the ground.

"Ok." Twilight says.

Blitz sighs as Twilight fires a spell and Ahsoka coughs and soon the smoke cleared to find herself not a pony again. "About time." She said checking herself up.

"I like you either way." Blitz says turning humanoid.

Ahsoka holds up a hand. "Back off."

"I'm not doing anything." Blitz says.

Ahsoka points to him. "You changed."

"So you couldn't get me back for petting you and holding you." Blitz says smirking.

Ahsoka huffs. "Please. I just want to keep distance after all the time before.

"Ahsoka, do you really mean that?" Blitz asks making her stop.

Ahsoka blinks a few times. "Somewhat."

"Ahsoka?" Blitz asks.

Ahsoka sighs. "Okay, maybe when we get back to work. For now, you have to enjoy what we have."

"What do we have?" Blitz asks seriously.

Ahsoka smiles a bit. "Being very close friends."

"Are you sure that is what we really are?" Blitz asks

Ahsoka looks to him. "I don't know exactly, but isn't it all unknown?"

"I don't think so, I think at this point we know what we really are and just need to admit it, even if saying it hurts us." Blitz says.

Ahsoka sighs. "Yeah, I guess."

"Want me to go or you want to go first?" Blitz asks as Twilight leaves.

Ahsoka looks at him carefully. "I'll…go first. I…we…can we go somewhere else for a bit?" She asks after sighing.

"Lead the way." Blitz says.

Ahsoka nods as she walks out with him before they seem to end up on to the roof as they both just watch the sky. "Okay. I am surprised we got this far. More so than I ever thought." She started.

Blitz smiles as he just stands near her.

Ahsoka then smiles. "And then that mission together kinda had us meet together even more…more so than it was allowed…and I don't care about that one. But here and the future…it's strange now. I never thought we would end up like this."

"Yeah and I decided you to let you choose it." Blitz says.

Ahsoka chuckles a bit. "You always did let the females choose the big huge life plan."

"And because of your commitment." Blitz says.

Ahsoka sighs. "And I have to make a big choice…though…"

"You don't have to leave the order. Your master didn't." Blitz says.

Ahsoka nods. "That's because he left it hidden. Me however, maybe…maybe I will do this."

"Ahsoka?" Blitz asks.

Ahsoka looks to him. "Yes?"

Blitz walks up to her.

Ahsoka stands up fully. "What is it?"

"You can lead here." Blitz says.

Ahsoka looks slightly confused. "What do you mean?"

"How do you feel about me?" Blitz asks.

Ahsoka sighs. "I feel many things about you Blitz. Many things I never thought I would either. Now at this moment, it does feel kinda warm for me."

Blitz wraps his arms around her.

Ahsoka smiles. "And even more…I love you Blitz."

"I love you too." Blitz says leaning in.

Ahsoka chuckles a bit. "Now what are you going to do?"

"I have heard of worse matches than a mandalorian chief and a Jedi." Blitz says.

Ahsoka chuckles. "Like what?"

"A ranchor and an octopus." Blitz jokes.

Ahsoka chuckles as she lets her arms rest on his shoulders. "So…what now?"

"Should I get you the ring?" Blitz asks.

Ahsoka sighs. "That is something I can't possibly show."

"Well not while on the job, but when you're here in pony form." Blitz says.

Ahsoka nods. "That works."

Blitz smiles before kissing her.

Ahsoka smiles into the kiss as she hangs onto him before she lets go slightly. "That was actually fun."

"You know, if the jedi or sith ever found out, they would say I was seducing you to the dark side." Blitz says holding her.

Ahsoka chuckles. "Only if it leads to other people's death."

"Well maybe droids as we are fighting a war." Blitz jokes.

Ahsoka giggles and holds him close. "Want to try and just relax somewhere?"

"I know the perfect place." Blitz says before teleporting them to Neighagra falls.

Ahsoka looks around for a bit. "Where is this?"

"A bit north, by a few hundred miles." Blitz says.

Ahsoka keeps looking. "So what do you want to do here?"

"What, don't think this place is romantic?" Blitz asks.

Ahsoka rolls her eyes. "I'm not that romantic."

"Well, we are alone here because we are in the middle of a natural park and the park is closed at this time." Blitz says picking her up bridal style.

Ahsoka chuckles as she hangs onto him. "So where are we going here?"

"I have a little hideout here." Blitz says walking to a cliff where a huge boulder was. "You mind moving that to the side for me?" Blitz asks.

Ahsoka huffs and holds out her hand to it. "Lazy." She said moving the boulder.

"No, I am holding you and don't want to put you down." Blitz says before kissing her cheek and walks into the cave.

Ahsoka smiles as she looks around. "When did you make this?"

"A long time ago. I started making a few hideouts when I started bounty hunting here. This was one of the first ones I made." Blitz says.

Ahsoka looks confused at some things. "Some of these don't exactly fit."

"Ah, they are relics left in the cave." Blitz says as he casts a sideways glance at Hurricane's picture on the wall while Ahsoka wasn't looking.

Ahsoka hums. "So how much have you used this place?"

"Not much, but I put in a small armory and a very good security system." Blitz says.

Ahsoka keeps looking around before turning to him. "Tell me, what do you have planned for me?"

"If you want, honeymoon night." Blitz says.

Ahsoka shakes her head. "I'm thinking of just laying here."

Blitz nods and lays her on the bed before joining her. 'Hurricane, I haven't forgotten you and I do miss you.' Blitz thinks.

Ahsoka looks him over. "You okay?" She asks noticing his expression.

"I'm fine, my mind just drifted to those I lost though." Blitz says.

Ahsoka sighs as she just looks up again. "You too huh?"

"We all have lost someone in this war I think, but I have some good news for you." Blitz says.

Ahsoka looks to him again. "What is it?"

"I have found your friend, Lux Bonteri." Blitz says.

Ahsoka looks a bit shocked. "Where?"

"On his home planet of Onderon. It seems he has joined up with the forming rebels that oppose the ruler placed on the throne by Dooku." Blitz says.

Ahsoka smiles a bit. "Yeah, that sounds like him."

"They are having trouble and it seems they will try and contact the republic soon for aid." Blitz says.

Ahsoka smiles. "Guess we ship out soon for them."

"Yes and I have to go to mandalore right after my species has launch our first spaceship built by us." Blitz says.

"Why?" Ahsoka asks.

Blitz sighs. "People in the republic are seeing the mandalorian clans allying with them as a way to push for Mandalore to pick a side and Duchess Satine doesn't want that. She demands we come to her home planet and explain ourselves. Mandalore doesn't have time or want to associate with her and no other mandalorian commander is available to go that we can guarantee she will survive the encounter." Blitz says not happy about it.

Ahsoka sighs. "Does this mean we have too?"

"No, this is a mandalorian business. No need for the republic or jedi. It's better this way anyways. I hear the separatists are going to send an envoy to try and press them to their side again. They think that if they can get Mandalore to come over to their side, we will follow." Blitz says.

Ahsoka clicks her tongue. "Yeah…not going to happen…ever."

"Agreed, most of us despise the current administration and that would just give several clans an excuse to invade and take our home planet for ourselves." Blitz says.

Ahsoka sighs. "Will this ever end?"

"It will eventually. But enough talk about work." Blitz says.

Ahsoka smirks a bit. "So what now?"

"So how do you cuddle?" Blitz asks smirking.

"Ok my foals, daddy has to go." Blitz says underneath the foals.

"Aww!" They all whined.

Blitz smirks and lifts all of them with the force before getting up and floating them to their mothers. Most seemed to enjoy the floating. "Sorry I couldn't stay longer." Blitz says to Vinyl, Shadow, and Lightning who were now holding bundles.

They all sigh. "We can speak to you later on the phone." Lightning said rocking her bundle.

"You have your orders. Train for a few months to get back into fighting form then you may join the frontlines." Blitz says.

Lightning looks to her bundle in worry. "That's my worry now."

"Then stay and become the commander of the defenses of the planet." Blitz says.

Lightning blinks a few times. "What?"

"You will be the commanding officer of the defenses and will oversee the defenses being built." Blitz says peaking at the foal.

Lightning keeps blinking. "But…Spike…?"

"Is with me for now. If he will stay behind, you will be second in command, ok?" Blitz asks.

Lightning stares at him before sighing. "Okay."

"Good girl. Now take care of our son while I am gone, ok?" Blitz asks.

Lightning nods. "You got it. Just give me time." She said showing the colt to him. "Say goodbye."

"I will be back soon Onyx Bolt." Blitz says before lightly ruffling his mane.

Onyx yawns as he tries to sleep.

Blitz then goes to Shadow and her bundle. "Shadow, take care of them and you stay safe Crimson Vision." Blitz says doing the same to Crimson.

Crimson eyes him carefully before seeming to smirk before falling asleep with a yawn.

"Has your mischievous spirit. I can already tell." Blitz says.

Shadow chuckles. "We both love you Blitz."

"I love you too." Blitz says before giving her a kiss on her forehead and walks to Vinyl.

Vinyl chuckles as Ice Blossom was squirming in her hooves.

"You two be good, ok?" Blitz asks giving them a hug. "One last one is allowed before I go." Blitz whispers before Vinyl smiles and bites his neck.

Blitz yelps as he felt himself a bit weak. "Okay, bit too much." He said before feeling a bite on his leg and looks to see Ice biting his leg. "Ah, ah, ah." He said quickly pulling back.

"That was good…hey, what are you doing you silly filly?" Vinyl asks leaning down to where Ice was.

Ice coos and reaches for them. Blitz smiles and picks her up before kissing her nose. Ice laughs and tries to reach for him. Blitz smiles before hugging her.

Ice coos and hugs him back before Vinyl takes her and she quickly bites her nose and makes it squeak. Vinyl giggles. "Aw, who's a cute filly?" She asks nasally.

Blitz shakes his head as he grabs his bags and starts to head out before stopping and looking to where Terra was and sees Terran with her and they seem to be in a staring contest. "Um…what are you doing?"

Terra growls. "This one has never blinked for the whole time I've been watching. It's time to prove that with the staring contest cup holder for a thousand years."

"Yeah, well match postponed." Blitz says before whistling, getting Tarren to come bounding onto his ship. "I wish Spike didn't borrow the Darkstar to return to the Darkline to do modifications." Blitz says getting on.

Slender and the cmc gets confused. "Where is he anyway? He said he would back a few days ago." Slender asks scratching her head.

"Took me a while." A voice suddenly said and they see another ship drop in that was even bigger than the Darkstar, but almost the same shape. "The furniture is kinda a picky thing." Spike said as the ship landed and the hatch opened up to him standing there. "Have fun with your present."

Before anyone could respond, Blitz's ship takes off.

Spike shrugs. "Coming girls?"

"Ridley, what is the fleet's status?" Blitz asks as he pilots the star ship.

"Coming along well. We are making personal placements right now. Another thirty minutes and we would be ready to go." Ridley said.

"Good, keep alert status and if you get any new information on the talks between the republic and alliance, send it to me." Blitz says.

Ridley smiles. "Sure. Just try and not hurt anyone on the way here."

Blitz huffs. "That's not going to be a given. By the way, did Spike make a modification on the ship?"

Ridley nods. "New docking port and…that's it."

Blitz sighs. "Okay…grab a couple of guards for the port. I now know what Spike was doing. He is coming, right?"

Ridley scoffs. "Can't really run the ship without him. He knows this whole thing inside and out."

Blitz shakes his head before looking to see a radar blip and looks to see Spike's ship coming nearby. "What the heck did you give it?" Blitz says.

"It's just a few upgrades. Took me a while. I can get you some if you want." Spike said.

"So that's the Darkstar 2 huh?" Blitz asks.

Spike chuckles. "Sort of. Bigger, more functions and can last longer. Basically everything. Like I said, you can get some for the Darkstar if you want."

"The Darkstar is a stealth prototype. She is good as she is. That is a striker class ship. I'm about to jump so make sure they have everything they need to build that dry-dock on the planet." Blitz says preparing the hyperdrive.

Spike nods. "Yeah, you got it. Just make sure Tarren is able to send you back if you knock yourself out."

"Over and out." Blitz says cutting the line.

Spike shakes his head a bit as he watches the ship go into hyperspace as they all hear a whine as it goes off. "He's never getting a big diplomacy without busting a few heads." He said leaning back in his seat.

"Spike, we are waiting." Ridley says impatient.

Spike sighs. "Fine, give me a sec. The girls are enjoying the ship a bit too much." He said glancing behind him.

"A spa!" The girls yell.

Blitz sighs as he comes out of hyperspace in his humanoid form to see Mandalore, the home planet of the mandalorian people or it should be. Blitz answers the predicted hail from the planet.

"This is Mandalorian control tower FJ78, transmit your access codes or you will be fired upon." They warned.

Blitz sighs as he quickly sends over the needed codes. 'Let's hope these things got updated.' Blitz thinks. "This is Southern Cross, chief of the Blitzkrieg clan. Your Duchess requested for someone and Mandalore is too busy to come." Blitz informs. 'Or rather can't be bothered on it.'

"Access codes accepted. You are cleared to land on the palace dock." The tower said.

Blitz growls after closing the line. "I can't wait to be done with these stupid proceedings and the Duchess better not want an apology." Blitz growls matched by Tarren.

Blitz sighs as he sets the landing site and places the ship on autopilot. "All right then. Time to get ready." He said getting up and heading into the ship. "Tarren you ready?" Blitz asks as he feels the ship landing.

Tarren barks and stand beside him.

"Let's go then." Blitz says as the hatch opens and he walks out to see the duchess' personal guards.

One of the guards step forward. "Welcome to Mandalore, please leave your weapons with us and then we'll escort you to the Duchess."

"I think not, if you know anything about Mandalorian warriors, we don't give up our weapons unless tradition dictates it." Blitz says making the guards tense as if getting ready to attack. "Go ahead, attack if you dare and I will go to see your duchess alone after I show you how to fight like a mandalorian." Blitz says as Tarren growls and bares his teeth.

The guard tries to hold his stance. "We have rules of our own."

"Yes and we of the clans don't recognize your duchess as our ruler, in fact your former prime minister barely escaped his own death mark from us for his comment against Mandalore himself." Blitz says not yet even going for his blasters.

There was a tense silence before the commander signaled to lower their weapons. "Very well. You may keep your weapons, but do not draw them." The commander says.

"That I will unless forced to in self-defense." Blitz says.

The guards all eye him as they start to escort him inside.

"Tarren, come." Blitz says snapping his fingers.

Tarren barks and rushes up to him before just walking beside him.

Blitz and Tarren were lead to the front door of the court where they could hear an argument. "Sound like internal politics." Blitz says making out all that was said.

"Look, if we keep concentrating on the little things in this planet, the war would be over us sooner than we think." A voice said.

"So going to knock or announce me?" Blitz asks the guard commander.

The guard grumbles a bit before opening the door. "Head of the Blitzkrieg clan, Southern Cross." He calls out and catches everyone's attention.

Blitz enters with Tarren as the guards close the door behind him. "So what does the great duchess Satine want from the clans?" Blitz asks being sarcastic with his compliment.

"Yes, I called you here to explain yourselves." Satine says.

"Oh and explain what exactly?" Blitz asks.

Satine sighs. "The fact that you're here to choose a side in the war. I believe you already choose one out there, but as you know, this planet has yet to choose. So which one are you on since you are a third party?"

"On our own side." Blitz says.

Satine raises an eyebrow. "Your own? So you rather be a complete third party, but still try and make an alliance with one of the sides we have debating with for a long time?"

"Let me make this clear Duchess. We, the mandalorian clans, do not recognize you as our leader. In fact, we see you as a hypocrite trying to destroy our very culture, but unlike Death Watch, we do not care one bit as it is your right as you rule here. We barely recognize Mandalore as our home planet." Blitz says.

Satine nods. "I have been getting those ideas and looks. Still, those on this planet have been wanting a side, but would you rather stay out or in it all?"

Blitz was about to respond when in entered a CIS ambassador.

Satine frowns. "What is the meaning of this?"

"I see the Separatists are already here. That is unexpected." Blitz says.

Satire sighs. "This planet is still neutral. It's a given."

"So why is he here in a mandalorian matter?" Blitz asks.

Satine leans forward. "I'm thinking of that as well."

'Maybe you're more mandalorian than we thought.' Blitz thinks.

"I demand an audience. I have been waiting a week." The ambassador yells.

"Is he serious?" Blitz asks.

Satine shakes her head. "Welcome to my world."

Blitz inwardly rolls his eyes as this situation become more ridiculous.

The ambassador frowns. "What is a Mandalore doing here?"

"I am a mandalorian and it isn't any of your business scum." Blitz says.

The ambassador growls to him. "Who are you to say vile things when you yourself are like us?"

"Oh, I'm sorry, do you want me to kill you?" Blitz says as Tarren growls and his spikes unfurled.

The ambassador, Blitz, and Tarren stare down each other before Satine stood up. "Enough! This is a meeting and throne room. Not a battlefield. I won't have this on my planet either. Now, can we get back the important businesses?"

"Yes. The Separatist alliance still demands compensation!" The ambassador angrily yells.

"Oh, for what exactly?" Blitz asks petting Tarren to calm him.

The ambassador huffs. "For the unprovoked attacks on the CIS controlled planet."

"Oh, if you want to talk compensation about that, then let us talk compensation for your unprovoked attack on my system in the alliance. My home planet." Blitz shoots back angrily getting Satine and the rest of the mandalorian council in the throne room's attention.

"What's this about an attack on a home planet?" Satine asks.

"Bah, auspiciously I…" The ambassador starts, but is cut off by Blitz grabbing him by the throat and hoists him off the ground choking him.

"Question my honor and integrity again and I will feed you to my pet." Blitz threatens.

"Enough! Didn't I say this is a meeting room and not a battlefield?" Satine angrily asks.

"This is how mandalorians meet as that was a warning." Blitz says tossing the ambassador aside. "Also the unprovoked attack is why the alliance has joined this war." Blitz says.

"Do you have proof?" Satine asks.

Blitz pulls up a video of it on his communicator showing the attack and destruction of the CIS fleet.

Satine could only shake her head. "And this is why I don't want to join anywhere."

"This is why we are now in this war. So as you see, the CIS dragged us into it with their actions." Blitz says.

The ambassador huffs. "We needed the resources to survive for our current fleet. We had no idea there was intelligent life."

"He even admits to it. Duchess, I think we are done talking to him." Blitz says.

Satine nods. "Yes, remove him."

"One last thing. Take a message to count Dooku. We have only begun." Blitz says.

The ambassador growls as he taken away. "Count on it."

"If that is all, I have to get back to fighting this war." Blitz says.

Satine nods. "We'll talk later."

"Talk to Mandalore." Blitz says before snapping his fingers and Tarren follows. They all stare at him and Tarren as he bites an apple from a nearby assistant and bites down on it. "Now, now Tarren. Remember where the real apples are." Blitz said chuckling.

"That was odd, a varren that eats fruit?" One of them said after Blitz and Tarren left.

"This is Southern Cross calling Ahsoka Tano." Blitz says over the communications.

The line was answered as only a phone icon appeared. "Is the line secure? Alright, let's call the jedi temple itself." Blitz says trying another line.

"Who is this?" A voice answered.

"General Southern Cross. I am trying to reach General Skywalker and commander Tano to discuss plans." Blitz says.

"Codes and I'll get them on the line." The voice said back. Blitz transfers the codes. "Good. Hang on and I'll see about getting them." The voice answered back before some muzak came on.

Blitz waits patiently as he punches in the coordinates for Coruscant before it ended. "Thank you for waiting. They are in a meeting with the council as of this moment."

"Very well. I will come in person to speak with them." Blitz says.

"Wait, you can't…" The line was cut.

"Oops." Blitz said before leans back in his seat. "I need vacations more often." Blitz says before entering hyperspace.

Blitz flies through the planet and nears the temple. "About time and still too high and mighty." He said to himself. "Why hang around without tall buildings around you?" He asks himself as lands on the docking platform. "Okay. Tarren." He said getting out of his seat and walks past Tarren in a bag of food. "Don't suffocate. I'll be back." He said heading out.

Blitz walks out the hatch in stealth as jedi and clones head for the ship as he knew he entered without contacting the temple and walks past them without them noticing him.

Blitz yawns quietly as he looks around a bit. "Still drab." He said to himself and heads for the communication room. "603, 605, 606. Here we are." He said entering and finds Ahsoka, Anakin, the jedi council and the rebel commander talking to them in a hologram communication.

Blitz waits as they talk to not be rude. He noticed out of slight surprise was the young rebel giving a sideway glance to Ahsoka as she looked a bit guilty. 'Oh boy. Not this play.'

"Train and observe, send advisors, we will." Yoda says.

'Ah, so the jedi are getting ready to aid the worlds that were forced to align with the CIS.' Blitz thinks as Anakin and Obi-wan talk.

Soon Yoda looks a little uncomfortable. "What is it master Yoda?" Windu asks.

"Sense something, I do." Yoda says.

Blitz raises an eyebrow as he slowly moves around the room.

"What do you sense master?" Luminara asks.

"In the room, something else." Yoda says causing all of them to look around, before Blitz opens the door and stands beside it and doesn't go out it.

"Who's there? Show yourself?" Anakin asks as most of them take out their lightsabers and go out of the room before Blitz closes the door behind them.

"You know you might want to improve your security if I could sneak in with just a stealth generator." Blitz says.

"Blitz?" Ahsoka asks lowering her lightsaber.

Blitz deactivates his stealth as he looks at the four jedi still in the room.

Anakin frowns a bit. "What are you doing here?" He asks as they all out their weapons away.

"I couldn't reach you by phone so since I was close by, decide to come in person." Blitz says.

Ahsoka looks confused as she looks to her communicator without the others knowing. "And who were you trying to call?"

"Ahsoka Tano is the only one I have the number for." Blitz says.

They all look at her as she sheepishly chuckles. "Guess I much had my communicator off."

"So I stayed quiet to be polite with your communication." Blitz says.

Obi-wan shakes his head a bit. "Give a heads up next time."

"I will if you give me your communicator numbers so I can call you." Blitz says.

They all stare at him as Ahsoka gives him an amused look as she shakes her head.

'I see I have amused you love.' Blitz thinks.

Anakin sighs. "Later. Now what are you really here for?"

"Like I said. I even called your front desk." Blitz says.

Obi-wan scratches his head. "We don't have a front desk."

"Then who answered?" Blitz asks.

Ahsoka holds up a finger. "Who did you call?"

"The front desk. I called your temple itself." Blitz says.

Everyone gets confused at that point.

"Look, I will call it again." Blitz says calling the temples number again.

"Hello. You reached the Jedi Temple. Who is this?" The voice asks.

Blitz wordlessly signals the four to explain that.

They all still looked heavily confused till Anakin walks up. "This is General Anakin Skywalker. I need to talk to master Yoda."

"One moment general Skywalker." The voice says before the call starts playing elevator music.

Anakin now looks even more confused. "What the heck did the administration placed?"

The voice soon came back. "I am sorry. Master Yoda is currently in a meeting."

They all look over to Yoda who was waiting patiently with his communicator before turning back to Blitz and Anakin looks closely at the number. "Name and designation." Anakin orders.

"I'm just a receptionist." The voice said as Blitz walks away with Anakin and Ahsoka following as they head down the hall.

Anakin sighs. "When will Master Yoda be available?"

"That is undetermined at this time." The voice said as they approach the lobby and look around before seeing the real receptionist actually asleep and snoring.

Anakin raises an eyebrow at that. "Told you."

"This means someone has infiltrated the system and is funneling the calls elsewhere." Blitz says causing alarm in the jedi.

Ahsoka frowns. "Blitz, did you give anything?"

Blitz shrugs. "Just my…codes." He said facepalming.

Ahsoka shakes her head before connecting his communicator to hers and starts tracking it as she walks away. "Give me a second."

"Oh, now let us see." Blitz says typing on his communicator and suddenly he was looking through a new system.

Anakin leans over. "Is that a ship system?" He asks pointing to it.

"Yes it is." Ahsoka says.

"Hacking now and locking all systems and programming the ship to jump to Coruscant." Blitz says.

They watch as the all the systems lock down and turn red before the hyperspace drive was confirmed. "Which ship was that?" Ahsoka asks.

"Spike isn't going to like this." Blitz said before another call came.

"What's the meaning of the remote jump?!" Spike yells at him.

"Spike, you are in a whole world of trouble right now." Blitz says not sounding happy.

Spike frowns. "And why is that?"

Blitz pushes the recall button and a line starts going off in his ship.

"Hello. Welcome to the Jedi Temple. How can I help you?" The voice asks.

"We will discuss this later. Unlocking your ship now. Go home and hope I don't tell Twi what you did." Blitz says as Spike looks sheepish.

Spike quickly cuts the line as Blitz rubs his head. "Why did you get mad at him?" Ahsoka asks.

"He hacked an ally to steal from them." Blitz says before starting to apologize to Yoda over and over.

"So you came in. Want to talk?" Ahsoka asks as they were walking around the halls of the temple.

"Yes and the start of my first visit is great humiliation by a subordinate." Blitz says.

Ahsoka sighs. "I'm sure he didn't mean it. Think about it. You have more access than he does. And you probably wouldn't have given it. What else can he do when he's also piloting the ship?"

Blitz shrugs. "Could have asked at least. He's like a little brother."

"A trouble making brother?" Ahsoka asks.

Blitz nods.

Ahsoka sighs. "At least this one is over with."

"So when do we leave?" Blitz asks surprising her.

Ahsoka stands up a little. "What do you mean?"

"I'm coming with you to Onderon." Blitz says.

Ahsoka smiles a little. "Okay then. We leave in about a few days."

"I will call a few trainers to meet us. Training others to be the best they can be is their job." Blitz says

Ahsoka raises an eyebrow. "What type of trainers?"

"The mandalorian kind." Blitz says.

Ahsoka sighs. "What are we going to learn?"

"They are in the jungle correct?" Blitz asks.

Ahsoka nods. "Yeah, sort of a desert planet with jungle plants in it."

"Then guerilla tactics mandalorian style." Blitz says

Ahsoka smiles. "We are going to be wearing cloaks for the drop in point."

"Why wear cloaks when you can do this?" Blitz asks before disappearing using his cloak.

Ahsoka chuckles. "For the rebels and they don't want to spend credits on the cloaking technology on us. Too much."

"Well waving those thing around kind of would give the jedi away." Blitz says decloaking.

Ahsoka laughs a bit. "The clones have one too."

"Well speaking of which, I think it is time they got some new trainers to help train the future clone troopers." Blitz says.

Ahsoka watches him. "I thought you won't help us that much and act completely third party."

"We have a treaty and using that, we will send some mandalorian to train the cadets. Also you should consider doing a recruitment campaign for you citizens and not just rely on clones." Blitz says.

Ahsoka sighs. "The citizens are not so keen on joining and since the clone making system. They are used to it so much, they don't want to consider joining. Just send more clones."

"Oh and if we inform them that the clones are stretched to the breaking point and new ones won't be ready for months? Thus allowing the separatists to invade their homes, you think they will stand by and let it happen?" Blitz says.

Ahsoka eyes him carefully. "Blitz, ask a farmer planet and then come back to me."

"Get me permission from the chancellor and I will show you." Blitz says.

Ahsoka sighs. "What do you want to do in the meantime?"

"You on the clock?" Blitz asks.

"I can't believe you talk all of those jedi into playing cards." Ahsoka says.

Blitz chuckles as he checks his account. "Yeah. Even more when I win all this."

"You will give me my credits back right?" Ahsoka asks.

"How about I take you out to dinner in exchange." Blitz says jokingly.

Ahsoka eyes him carefully. Blitz keeps looking at her with his helmet still on. "I'm not the dinner type." She said.

"Oh, then what type are you?" Blitz jokes.

Ahsoka chuckles. "Just the humble type. Want something simple."

"I liked what Yoda said at the end." Blitz says.

Ahsoka smirks. "And what is that?"

"Let this be a lesson to you and learn to read your opponents better." Blitz says.

Ahsoka laughs a little. "I can't believe he counted your little brother as an enemy. Still true though."

"After what happened, I'm surprised he decided to keep it quiet. If it was the chancellor, he would make us have repercussions." Blitz says.

Ahsoka smiles. "I think he saw the humor in it and the importance. Still, this isn't about them. It's about us."

"Right." Blitz says looking around for anyone.

Ahsoka smiles as she watches him. "You know. I actually did like being one of your kind. Cute really."

"Oh want to try it again when you return to the planet?" Blitz asks.

Ahsoka nods. "Might be fun. But you better make our time personal."

"Well for now, we must be professional." Blitz says noticing jedi walking into the hallway on the way to somewhere. From the looks they were giving him, they must think him a clone.

Ahsoka nods as she spies them out of the corner of her eye. "I doubt we can be alone at this point." She whispered.

"Well we will have to make time. So you think the chancellor will actually approve of the written petition to try and recruit volunteers into the galactic military?" Blitz asks.

Ahsoka shrugs. "I don't know. Maybe he will for the war, but he won't for the citizens being happy and supportive."

"Well volunteers are not the same as those you draft. They will be there by a choice and that gives them purpose and drive. Also, it will make the public stop looking at the military as disposable pawns." Blitz says.

Ahsoka nods. "Yeah, maybe he will, but the whole thing about citizens hating the war is at everyone's mind. Weird though. The politicians want war, but citizens want it to stop."

"It almost seems like someone wants the people so sick of war they are willing to accept anything." Blitz says making Ahsoka stop to think about the prospect.

Ahsoka looks at him carefully. "You think they would try and recruit them to the other side of possible?"

"No, I think you should watch your own side as well." Blitz says.

Ahsoka looks behind her. "Even the temple?"

"Maybe even them at times." Blitz whispers as he sees a Besalik jedi walking past.

Ahsoka sighs. "I'll see you later Blitz. I need to get ready. I kinda suggest you do the same."

"I will." Blitz says.

Ahsoka takes one last look around as she almost passed him before giving a quick kiss to the helmet cheek. "Bye sweets." She whispered as she walked calmly away.

Blitz shakes his head slightly. "Why me?" He asks himself before heading back to his ship and finds Tarren on the table with a bunch of bags and boxes around him while he was sleeping on his back with his tongue hanging out. "Oh Tarren." He said to himself as he scratches his stomach, making him growl a little before purring. Blitz, after stopping, just sits and meditates.

"Alright, we will be inserting ourselves here." Anakin says as their ship bypasses the droid fleet.

Blitz eyes the landing zone on the map as he softly pets Terran and notices that it's a sparsely dense jungle area. "Alright then." Blitz says looking to the five other mandalorians that are with him. "We are ready here." Blitz says before the pilot informed them it was time for them to get off.

Everyone immediately gets up and walks up to the door before it stops and opens and they all jump out.

"Alright, you four go on ahead. We will follow cloaked." Blitz says.

Rex, Ahsoka, Anakin and Obi-wan nod as they run off ahead as Blitz and the others disappear. The mandalorians follow until the rebels stop them.

Anakin stares up at the woman riding the creature. "It's alright. We're friends." He said lowering his hood down.

"Jedi." The woman says.

Ahsoka sighs as she jumps down from the tree branches. "I'm commander Tano. We're here to help take back your planet."

"And these are mandalorians including general Southern Cross." Obi-wan says as the five decloak showing they were in position to take them out if the need arose.

The woman hums as she looks at them all. "Not bad. Maybe could help us after all. I'm Steela. I'll guide you to our secret base." She said turning the creature around and walking to where she came from.

"Lead the way." Anakin says and Blitz signals the mandalorians to follow.

By almost morning they arrived at what appears to be an old ruin and hear some screeching and looks up to see a reptile like flying bird with a person riding it. "Ever had something close to your planet?" Ahsoka whispers to Blitz nearby.

"Not like that specifically, but flying creatures, yeah." Blitz says.

They soon see a bunch of regular looking civilians wearing some armor and trying to train. "What kind of life they come from? City? Farming?" Obi-wan asks.

"Looks like from all over. This is what volunteers look like." Blitz says.

Rex sighs. "I got my work cut out for me. Though it would help with where most come from."

"Those five will help you. They help train new recruits for their clans." Blitz says.

Rex looks back to the mandalorians. "Fine by me as long as we make good militias out of them."

"Militia. We don't train militia. We make warriors." A mandalorian says.

"Well they aren't shinys by my standard. But, I can try." Rex said looking over their hunter like uniform.

"General Skywalker." The man on the avian creature greets after dismounting.

"At your service. This is General Kenobi, commander Tano, Captain Rex, and General Southern Cross of the Mandalorians." Anakin introduces.

"We're looking forward to taking the fight to those scrappin droids." The man said.

"Yes, all in good time." Obi-wan says.

"Saw. Saw Gerrera." Saw introduces.

Steela looks a bit unamused. "He fashioned himself as our leader. Though no one elected him."

"Well for now we are in charge and there is much to learn." Anakin says as Tarren finally caught up with a native creature in his jaws.

Blitz frowns. "Tarren, put that down. Now."

Tarren whines before releasing the creature before it scurried away free.

Blitz taps his foot as he crosses his arms. "We don't eat the native life because we don't know if they are endangered or not. Now what do you say?"

Tarren barks loudly.

"That's right." Blitz says scratching his head.

Tarren pants as he leans into the scratching.

After rounding up the rebels, the jedi informed them of their purpose on the planet and Rex left with a few volunteers to transfer the supplies at their LZ.

"Lux, it's good to see you again." Ahsoka says walking up to him.

"It's good to see you too, Ahsoka." Lux says.

"I was a bit surprised when I was informed you were on Onderon with the rebels." Ahsoka says.

Lux sighs. "To be honest. I was too after I kept going over what I did wrong. Wait, how did you know I was here with the rebels?"

"I informed her." Blitz says following.

Lux looks back to him. "You?"

"Mandalorians have our own information networks." Blitz says.

Lux turns to him. "Really, how far?"

"That is my secret." Blitz says.

Ahsoka shakes her head. "Don't bother trying to pry from him. He's too strict."

"She knows I can be from experience." Blitz says.

Lux looks back to Ahsoka. "How much you know him?"

"I've known him before the clone wars." Ahsoka says.

Lux was surprised at that. "Really now?

"Yes. Anyways, you were saying?" Ahsoka asks.

"Oh right, Onderon is my home. My mother represented it in the Senate." Lux says.

Steela chuckles to herself. "Your voice is strong, like hers was."

"Have you reconsidered joining the Republic Senate?" Ahsoka asks.

"Even if we do take back Onderon, it won't change how I feel. I'm not fighting for the Republic." Lux says.

"Well, what matters now is, we need each other's help, just like we did on Carlac." Ahsoka says.

Blitz ended up writing something down. "Note to self, find out about past missions."

"Carlac? What happened on Carlac?" Steela asks.

Lex looks nervous. "Ahsoka is the reason I'm here and not with Death Watch."

"Really? What he means is…" Ahsoka starts.

"She saved me from a huge mistake." Lux finishes.

Blitz rolls his eyes slightly. "Lux obviously thinks highly of you." Steela said after Lux walked off.

"I guess so." Ahsoka says.

Steela huffs. "Let's hope that respect is well founded." Steela says walking away

"Wow, what an attitude." Blitz says.

Ahsoka sighs. "I hope you keep your emotions in check."

"I'm not the one you need to worry about. It's her. She has a thing for your friend and sees you a threat right now to that." Blitz says.

Ahsoka smirks. "Well, guess when she confronts me, I can tell her I'm not interested."

"But will she believe you?" Blitz asks.

Ahsoka looks to him with a sideways glance. "Show you maybe, but that's too much. Maybe just tell my code."

"Maybe." Blitz says.

Ahsoka sighs. "We have a few minutes. Want to patrol?"

"Very well." Blitz says following.

Ahsoka smiles as he follows her and after a bit away, she stops and turn to him. "So…you going to get between anyone of them?"

"No." Blitz says.

Ahsoka raises an eyebrow. "And on me?"

"I will resist from punching them." Blitz says.

Ahsoka chuckles as she shakes her head. "You're just too crazy at this point."

"No, just protective of my wife." Blitz whispers into Ahsoka's ear.

Ahsoka blushes heavily as she tries to figure out how he got too close. "We are not going to get many chances."

"I know, but at least we will be close to each other for the most part." Blitz says.

Ahsoka smiles a bit. "Yeah, but…try to focus on the fight. Can't risk ourselves."

"I will try." Blitz says.

Ahsoka sighs. "We better get back. They are probably training them right now." She said still not moving.

"Yeah." Blitz says.

Ahsoka raises an eyebrow. "Are you going to move?"

"I'll follow you commander." Blitz says.

Ahsoka smiles as she leans close. "You'll get it later." She whispered before walking away.

Later that night, Anakin and Ahsoka were alone by around a campfire. "Hey master, can I ask you a question?" Ahsoka asks.

Anakin looks over. "What is it?"

"How should one handle love?" Ahsoka asks catching him completely off guard.

Anakin stammers a bit. "Well…why are you asking me?"

"Well you are my master and…I have been wondering lately." Ahsoka says.

Anakin tries to say something. "Well…I don't know much about it. I think you're better off asking one of the rebels here. They might know more than me."

"But you are a jedi and they aren't." Ahsoka says.

Anakin raises an eyebrow. "And I can't love so it doesn't cause trouble."

"But what about Senator Amidala?" Ahsoka asks.

Anakin frowns a bit. "She's just an acquaintance for the political things. You know how much we hate it."

"Master, I can see through that by the way you look at her." Ahsoka says.

Anakin sits up fully now. "Ahsoka, I don't have any attachments for a reason."

"Like R2?" Ahsoka asks.

Anakin's frowns falters. "That's different."

"Master, I am asking because…I think I might be developing such feelings." Ahsoka says.

Anakin looks a little shocked. "Ahsoka. This is not good to have. You have drop these feelings or it will lead you astray."

"Master…how can something that brings happiness lead me astray?" Ahsoka says.

"Thinking about it during a crucial part of the battle." Anakin said.

"I can keep that in check, but why does the code forbid it. Even in the last great war against the sith, Jedi could marry." Ahsoka says.

Anakin sighs. "Because forming any attachments almost killed us all when we were away."

"I just don't understand master. Why does the code forbid us from pursuing happiness?" Ahsoka asks.

Anakin shakes his head. "So we can remain level headed in the fight and any training needed. You always need a clear head."

Ahsoka sat in silence as she knew even her master had no clear answers and was just saying what Obi-wan taught him most likely.

Blitz shakes his head as he laid down on a branch and was hearing the whole thing. "To controlled." He said to himself.

"So how are they doing?" Blitz asks as he watches the rebels being trained to take out the droid army's mass produced tank.

Ahsoka shrugs. "Coming along nicely. They should be able to take down small groups at this point."

"So I have heard no complaining from you or the other republican members about how rough the mandalorians are running them." Blitz says.

Ahsoka smiles. "If it gives us an edge. It would be worth it."

"Take a look." Blitz says as some rebels run an obstacle course where they were avoiding stun setting blaster fire.

Ahsoka sighs. "At least we get some chances, but we can't fight because we can't get involved."

"Well republic can't, mandalorians, we can just say a clan that hadn't joined us yet was hired, but we will keep our presence as low key as possible." Blitz says.

Ahsoka rolls her eyes. "The republic isn't an idea I being subtle."

"I got the intent." Blitz says. "So should we try training later when we have some free time?" Blitz asks.

Ahsoka nods. "Yeah, I still have to train you."

"Training sabers." Blitz offers her two.

Ahsoka takes them both. "Alright. The others can learn on their own now. Come on." She said walking away.

"Alright." Blitz says noticing Obi-wan following.

Ahsoka sighs. "So where did we stop?"

"Up ahead." Blitz says stopping and ignites his training saber.

Ahsoka smiles as she turns to him. "You sure you want just one?"

"Only got one so best practice with only one." Blitz says.

Ahsoka rolls her eyes before taking a stance and ignites her training sabers. "Okay, what was the last training moveset we did?"

"It was in the Form VII Juyo." Blitz says.

Ahsoka nods and was about to move before noticing Obi-wan. "Um…reason?"

"Ignore him Ahsoka. We don't have time to train often." Blitz says.

Ahsoka nods. "Good point." She said before attacking him.

Blitz blocks her strike, causing Ahsoka to notice he was favor wielding the training saber with his right hand.

Ahsoka raises an eyebrow. "So you're right handed huh?" Ahsoka asks.

Blitz says nothing and pushes her back and starts assaulting her with swings. The spar lasted for fifteen minutes with Obi-wan clapping.

"Not bad." He said walking up to them.

"You keep getting better Ahsoka." Blitz says deactivating his training saber.

Ahsoka shrugs. "We are still training even if we have to retire." She said turning off hers.

"Shall we get back to the rebels to see how they are faring?" Blitz asks.

Ahsoka nods and they all walk back before Ahsoka turns to Obi-wan. "What were you doing here anyway?"

"I noticed you two walking off and decided to see what you were up to. Imagine my surprise when you were sparing." Obi-wan says.

"What did you think we were going to do?" Blitz asks getting silence from Obi-wan. "Oh, I see your mind went to the gutter." Blitz says.

Ahsoka frowns as she blushes. "I can't believe he told you."

"Told who what?" Blitz asks skillfully acting as if he knew nothing.

Ahsoka looks to him. "Not you."

"No, I mean who told who what." Blitz clarifies.

Obi-wan gets confused. "Who what told who?"

"My master and I had a talk last night and apparently he told master Obi-wan everything." Ahsoka says.

Blitz shakes his head. "Too watchful."

"My apologies Ahsoka." Obi-wan says.

Ahsoka sighs. "It's fine. Just too much."

Blitz keeps a straight face, knowing that isn't what Obi-wan really thought.

Ahsoka yawns a bit. "How far is the training coming along?"

"It's coming well. Next is target practice." Obi-wan says.

"I'm getting a blast shield." Blitz said.

"I don't think that will be necessary." Ahsoka says.

"You never know." Blitz says.

Ahsoka frowns. "I do and these guys know how to handle a blaster."

"Well, it will still come in handy for something like an unexpected attack." Blitz says.

Ahsoka smirks. "Should I get some rope so you can carry it on your back forever?"

"Oh, no need, we have a vehicle for that." Blitz says.

Ahsoka hums. "Now there's a good idea."

"So tell me from your experience, how much does he prepare for worse case scenarios?" Obi-wan asks.

Ahsoka raises a hand above her head. "Too much really." She said putting her hand down.

"Well I guess that isn't too bad in war time." Obi-wan says.

Blitz chuckles. "Though it does impede in my personal life."

"So what kind of vehicle did you bring?" Ahsoka asks.

Blitz smirks. "Nothing much really."

"It's a war vehicle, isn't it?" Ahsoka asks.

Blitz chuckles happily. "Maybe."

"Please tell me it is not a tank." Ahsoka says.

"No, it's just a modified speeder." Blitz says

"Oh, that is good at least." Ahsoka says.

Blitz shrugs. "It's nothing much anyway. I still would like to just take a regular stroll with you watching over my shoulder."

"I will come with you." Obi-wan says as they go to get the speeder.

Ahsoka smiles as she watches them. "Don't crash into another tree."

"I think she has you pegged." Blitz says jokingly to Obi-wan.

Obi-wan chuckles. "I would say she has you pegged."

"What, she's my wife." Blitz jokes.

Obi-wan keeps chuckling. "Now we know why you're so much like you're under control."

"Haha." Blitz says sarcastically.

After trekking through the jungle for a bit they came across a camo colored speeder.

Obi-wan whistles. "Not bad. What's good about it?"

"Camo colors so it stays hidden without giving off a signal and enough power to pull things several times heavier than what a speeder of this size can pull." Blitz says getting in the driver seat.

Obi-wan smirks. "Test drive?"

"No, a mandalorian secret." Blitz says powering the speeder up.

Obi-wan shakes his head. "Oh this might be fun at least."

"Ok, let's move." Blitz says lifting off and travelling through the jungle with what looks like a base for something being towed behind.

Obi-wan groans as they came to a stop and gets off. "On second thought, I'll leave Anakin to drive. I'm at least use to his driving."

"What? Not used to calmer driving." Blitz says getting off and starts setting up the base like object.

Obi-wan shakes his head. "No, I'm probably so prepared for Anakin's style of driving, I think I'm more prepared for his driving than anyone else."

"Like that time he crashed into that dinner?" Blitz asks.

Obi-wan frowns a bit. "That's was a given, but they had some good food."

"Ok, so what is this?" Ahsoka asks.

Blitz turns to them. "Temporary base. Good enough for a quick living problem to be fixed with this. At least that's what it says on the box. Though it's only the start. Got to place the plate needed for the base of the base."

"Uh huh?" Ahsoka asks not convinced.

Blitz rolls his eyes. "Ah come guys. This will help a bunch. Just need to find the right placement." He said before looking back at it. "Maybe a few feet more." He said walking back to the speeder.

Ahsoka rolls her eyes as Steela starts shooting the target that was being held up by Anakin with the force. "How's it going here?" She asks walking over.

"Ah, moving targets." Blitz says.

Ahsoka smiles as Steela hits the busted droid head. "Not bad. You did tell them about the transmitters, right?" She asks Anakin walking over.

"Of course, Rex did." Anakin says.

Steela sighs as she puts her rifle down a bit before hearing something. "Does anyone hear that?"

"I hear…droids." A mandalorians says causing all mandalorians to assume defensive formations.

"Take cover!" Rex said running off while shooting with his own weapons.

Obi-wan and Anakin both took out their lightsabers and starts deflecting the shots. "It appears that training is over." Obi-wan said.

"I'll take the left flank if you take the right." Anakin says.

"No. We can only protect them. We cannot fight for them. We cannot fight this war for them." Obi-wan said as they took cover.

"There are too many. But Anakin, Ahsoka, and I can hold them off while you get your people out of here." Obi-wan calls to Steela.

"You didn't teach us to run." Steela said. "Saw, use your disrupters to take out the droids." She called into her communicator.

"I'm on it." Saw says before turning to other rebels. "Ready disruptors. On my mark." Saw says before throwing his, followed by the other rebel.

"What is that?" One of the droids ask as they look at it.

"It looks like an explosive." Another said.

"How can you tell…" Blitz shakes his head as an explosion happened and took them out. "I like the non-bumbling kinds."

"But it is better with the seps using them." Ahsoka says next to him as Blitz peaks out and starts blasting.

Blitz looks to her as kept blasting. "Really? You want bumbling droids who would be better off making a comedy show?"

"Fighting us, yes." Ahsoka says.

"Blaster?" Blitz offers.

Ahsoka looks to it. "Saber."

"Yeah, but can that hit from range." Blitz says.

Ahsoka raises an eyebrow. "Blitz, I rather use the saber."

"Ok then." Blitz says before he keeps blasting at the droids as Saw and Lux go for the tank. "Well some people are going for the tank." Blitz says.

Ahsoka sighs as she kept watching. "You think they would make it?"

"Five creds say they take out the tank." Blitz says.

Ahsoka smirks. "Ten one of them trips."

"You're on." Blitz says giving cover fire.

Soon both Lux and Saw got onto the tank and both their grenades at it as the droid on top caught it. "Uh…surrender…"

"Shut up." Lux said and quickly closes the hatch on him before they both ran off as it exploded.

Ahsoka holds out her hand. "Pay up."

Blitz hands here five credits.

Ahsoka frowns. "Hey. Ten credits."

"They took out the tank." Blitz says.

Ahsoka scoffs as she pockets the credits as the rest of the droids were taken out and they walk over to the converging group.

"Take confidence from this victory. But rest assured, there will be more droids coming now that they know your position." Obi-wan says.

"It's doesn't matter. You're ready now. We are going to take the fight to the droids and you won't have to hide any longer." Anakin said.

"Droids were a bit dim, more so than I imagined." Saw says.

"They make up for it in numbers, designed to overwhelm." Ahsoka said.

"That is the idea behind the B1 battle droids and even the B2 super battle droids, but the BX-series droid commando and Magnaguards are another story." Blitz says.

They all look to him. "Magnaguards?" Lex asks.

"Most of the time they are the elite bodyguards rarely will be deployed the battlefield, because of their cost." Blitz explains. The rebels nod accepting the explanation.

"But even they're not designed to deal with our approach." Anakin says.

Lux nods. "We hit them where they least expect it."

"And before they realize what happened, we fade in with the rest of the population." Stella finishes.

"But we're going to need a plan to get into the city." Ahsoka pointed out.

"I have an idea on that." Lux says.

"I can't believe we are being snuck into the city under pelts." Blitz whispers.

Ahsoka hits his side. "Quiet."

'At least I am not in pony form for this.' Blitz thinks.

Ahsoka looks him over. "Try and stay calm. I know you hate sitting still." She whispered.

Blitz remains still as something of the dead.

Ahsoka tilts her head and pokes him constantly now.

Blitz still remains unmoving till they start moving into the city.

Ahsoka sighs as she peeks outside and finds themselves inside the city walls. "Now all we have to do is find the inner city rebels." She said gathering her bag.

Blitz moves to look at her as they got out of the carriage and disappear into the market. "See anything you like?" He asks nearby her.

Ahsoka shakes her head and slightly pushes him. Blitz chuckles and steps away from her. "And this is my future life." He said to himself.

"Alright, we should be good here." Steela says.

"I can't believe you talked me into wearing the cloak." Blitz says.

Ahsoka smirks. "It looks good on you."

"You two ready?" Anakin asks.

Blitz shrugs. "Fine. Just need to put all our things."

'And I get to watch.' Ahsoka thinks.

Blitz sighs as they walk through the allies. "So how many rebels we got in the city?"

"A few dozen and they will start convincing people to join." Ahsoka says before pushing him against the wall and kisses him to have the droids ignore them.

Blitz quickly closes his eyes as he hears the droids walk around a corner and opens his eyes again to see Ahsoka still going at it before pushing her away slightly. "They're gone."

"Yeah and I'm glad I got to do that." Ahsoka says.

Blitz shakes his head. "Maybe we should go on patrols more often."

"Maybe." Ahsoka says as they get to their observation positions.

Blitz sighs as he watches the citizens move around. "Blissfully unaware."

"Yeah." Ahsoka says before someone starts sniping droids.

"Seriously, how do people overlook us dressed in these. We stick out like a sore thumb." Blitz says.

Ahsoka looks confused. "I have no idea."

"Are we so conspicuous that they ignore us?" Blitz asks.

Ahsoka shrugs. "As long as it works."

"Here comes Lux." Blitz says as he comes up to them.

Lex smiles as he sees them. "Hey, how's the patrol?"

"Good so far." Ahsoka says.

"Best go, I see five droids coming after you." Blitz says.

Lux nods and quickly walks away as Ahsoka just pushes Blitz against a wall again, but this time doesn't kiss him. "Aw, I thought you were going to go for it." Blitz teases.

"Watch." Ahsoka says as the droids run past them and into the middle of the crowded street, looking for Lux who tosses a droid popper from cover in the middle of the five before activating and frying the droids.

Blitz frowns a bit. "But the citizens' reaction is not good."

"Yeah, they have mistaken the rebel's intentions and are afraid." Ahsoka says.

Blitz sighs as he wraps his arms around her. "Guess we're going to have to find another way that doesn't include sabotage."

"Maybe." Ahsoka says as they disappear and head back to the hideout.

Blitz immediately moves away once they made it back to side where they have mandalorian gear was with Tarren sleeping on them. "Come on boy." He said tapping his side.

Tarren opens one eye and looks at Ahsoka and then Blitz.

Blitz sighs. "No I didn't."

"Best get comfortable." Ahsoka says.

Blitz sighs as he sat down before Ahsoka sat nearby and Tarren laid down on both of their laps. "Tarren." They both said.

Tarren only smirked.

"So to make it clear, we can only watch this attempt." Blitz says to the other mandalorians.

Ahsoka nods. "As much as it pains us, we have too. You hate it too?"

"More like these guys want in on the operation." Blitz says as two of the mandalorians were smoking.

Ahsoka shakes his head. "Well at least you guys get some relaxation. We have to make sure they are safe on this."

"You want some action, then you make sure they call a tank by splicing into the droid communications and you take up a sniper position at the power plant." Blitz says to two of the mandalorians.

They quickly throw the cigars away before rushing out as Blitz takes one last look around. "Still can't believe we are getting these chances together."

"Believe it and I'm happy you and your mandalorians stayed instead of leaving with Master, Obi-wan, and Rex." Ahsoka says.

Blitz nods as he moves close to her. "Yeah, because I know you can mess things up."

"Not likely. That is sky guy's role." Ahsoka says.

Blitz chuckles as he wraps his arms around and keeps watching. "So…what's the big plan after this city?"

"Well unsure about the big battle, but I don't think we will be able to stay in this city for more than another week." Ahsoka says.

"I agree, if we want to avoid civilian casualties." Blitz says.

Ahsoka nods. "Yeah, just need to place safeguards for future attacks and getting citizen's trust back."

"If all goes smoothly tonight, then the puppet king will try something desperate." Blitz says.

Ahsoka smiles. "And that's the plan."

"We will see how he reacts, then we will choose the plan." Blitz says before kissing her now that they were alone.

Ahsoka smiles into kiss as she hangs onto him before letting go a bit. "Still going for it, aren't you?"

"Oh, what do you mean?" Blitz whispers into her ear.

Ahsoka blushes. "Still trying to get me to wear a ring. Really not working, still need to prove too."

"No, not going to have you wear a ring. You are one of my wives and that is all that matters." Blitz whispers into her ear as he massages her rear.

Ahsoka freezes up and grabs his hand. "What are you doing?" She asks smirking a bit.

"Trying to get you to relax." Blitz says before kissing her again.

Ahsoka goes a little wide eyed as she hangs onto him before push him away slightly. "Do I look like I need anything?"

"A little, you are worried." Blitz says honestly.

Ahsoka tries to look innocent. "I'm not worried. They can take care of themselves."

"Ahsoka." Blitz says wrapping his arms back around her.

Ahsoka stares at him before sighing. "Maybe I am a little worried."

"There we go." Blitz says before kissing her again and slips his tongue in this time.

Ahsoka blushes heavily as she tries to kiss back and wraps her arms around him before stopping and pushes him away only a little. "Won't a scout system see us?" She whispered.

"Nah, but you better go before Lux comes looking for you." Blitz says sitting down.

Ahsoka sighs and gets up before walking away. "Yeah and please feed Tarren." She said seeing him eat through some food they bought.

"Alright, I will sneak out of town and let him hunt for a bit." Blitz says.

Tarren perks his head up at that with a bag like a helmet over his head.

"How are you going to get out?" Ahsoka asks.

"I will walk out the front gate." Blitz says.

"Why?" Ahsoka asks with an eyebrow raised.

Blitz shows her an official ID. "I faked landing with a civilian shuttle and went through customs and got a temporary visa for me saying I was a hunter." Blitz says.

Ahsoka slaps her forehead. "Why didn't I think of that?"

"Because it wouldn't have worked as you are registered as a jedi and I had my man who is hacking into the droid communications to cover me with his hacking." Blitz says.

Ahsoka huffs. "Lucky."

"I'm still willing to take you out for dinner." Blitz says.

Ahsoka waves her hand to the city. "Where?"

"Anywhere you choose after we free the planet." Blitz says before making a call on an encrypted channel.

Ahsoka hums as she looks to the city. "I have noticed a few spots."

"Well maybe I should include breakfast and lunch as well." Blitz says.

Ahsoka smirks. "Maybe you should cook something personal than going out."

"Not…my best…skill set." Blitz says looking for the words.

Ahsoka smiles. "How bad could it be?"

"I haven't cooked anything besides roasted meat in years." Blitz says.

Ahsoka stares at him before snickering.

"What?" Blitz says pausing his call.

Ahsoka keeps snickering until she starts laughing. "You can't…can't cook for your life?!" She laughs.

"Hey, Tarren likes it." Blitz says as Tarren collides into a wall from having his vision obscured.

Ahsoka smirks and raises an eyebrow. "Uh huh."

"Ok, point taken." Blitz says defeated.

Ahsoka chuckles as she walks over to Tarren and pulls the bag off of him. "Better boy?"

Tarren pants happily before licking her face.

Ahsoka laughs as she tries to push him away. "Enough boy. I got to go."

"Come on boy, let her go." Blitz says starting to strip.

Tarren whines as he backs off. Blitz pays no mind as he sets his upper body armor on a desk. Ahsoka shakes her head as she pets Tarren's head and he pants happily as he nuzzles her back. "Stay boy." She said walking to the door. "Save most of the tricks for me." She said to Blitz.

"I will. After all, we still haven't done that yet." Blitz jokes starting to remove the lower body armor.

Ahsoka rolls her eyes and walks out the door. "Don't kill anyone." She said closing the door behind her.

Blitz shakes his head as he starts putting on the hunting gear he wore when he had the ID made.

Tarren pants happily as he bounded over to him.

"Yeah boy. Time to hunt." Blitz says picking up his hunting rifle that was registered to him as well.

Tarren growls happily as he followed him out.

"If the rebels abandon the city before I return, make sure my armor and weapons are not left behind, ok?" Blitz asks one of the three mandalorians. The mandalorian nods as they both leave.

Blitz watches from a tree as smoke rose from the city. "In only three days, the city has descended into anarchy." Blitz says as below him on the ground Tarren rends flesh from the bone of a kill they had made as he fed.

Tarren looks up at him and swallows his last bite and tilts his head.

"Looks like we aren't going back into the city." Blitz says before dropping to the ground. "Tarren, find Ahsoka." Blitz says after landing.

Tarren barks and takes one last bite and runs off as Blitz sighs and checks his weapon and fires it without looking behind himself, hitting the probe droid that thought it was hidden from him destroying it. Blitz follows Tarren at a leisurely pace as he makes for the mountains.

Eventually, Blitz stopped when several rebel including those Blitz hadn't seen before, stopped him from an ambush position in the rocks.

"Hi there." Blitz said waving. "Can I get past here?"

"Identify yourself." A rebel says.

Blitz sighs before teleporting away, confusing them till he grabs one of their rifles. "You still don't have a strong enough grip Jakup." Blitz says.

Jakup looks confused for a moment. "Wait…Cross?"

"Yeah, now set back up the ambush." Blitz says giving him back his rifle and walks with Tarren leading the way.

Ahsoka shakes her head as she sees Blitz come out of the forest line with Tarren bounding up to her and nuzzling her. "Okay, okay boy." She said petting his head before turning to Blitz. "How did it go?"

"Tarren has been eating well for the last few days, but inform me of everything as I change into my armor, ok?" Blitz asks Ahsoka, noticing his hood was far enough down so no one could get a good look at his face.

Ahsoka nods as he leads him to their quarters and Blitz starts redressing. "Well…" Ahsoka started.

"I see, so the king is now with us and the royal army as well huh? They did a good job and now I think it is time to get some new equipment." Blitz says before making a call.

Ahsoka moves over to him and sits down nearby. "What are you going to order?"

"Rockets and RPGs." Blitz says.

Ahsoka raises an eyebrow. "Really? Because we are running fine with the weapons we got now."

"Yeah, but we got nothing that can really penetrate armor from a distance and fast moving air units will be a problem." Blitz says.

Ahsoka sighs. "Then you better get some tracker ones as well."

"You think I would settle for anything less?" Blitz says.

Ahsoka clears her throat and waves.

"So Steela still giving you trouble thinking you and Lux have a possible romance?" Blitz asks.

Ahsoka sighs as Tarren jumps onto her lap and she starts petting him. "Yeah, still doesn't know about us."

"I wonder if Skywalker has to deal with the jealousy when someone flirts with his wife." Blitz says out loud.

Ahsoka shrugs and looks him over. "So…how do you think the militia is doing?"

"Starting to stray from militia and starting to move to soldiers." Blitz says finalizing the deal.

Ahsoka smiles. "But as getting more and helping each other out?"

"Getting well enough to not always need the home field advantage." Blitz says.

Ahsoka nods. "Good. So you going to present this to the republic as an example?"

"The citizens, yes, as take a look." Blitz says showing Ahsoka a document signed by the chancellor, allowing the populace to enlist in the galactic army and the date stamp was not a day after the first battle for Geonosis.

Ahsoka looks a bit confused. "So this has been out a while, huh?"

"Yeah, I looked through your army commanders and noticed that Jedi master Koto doesn't have a single clone officer so I investigated and found she has no clones in his army as they are all enlisted men." Blitz says.

Ahsoka smiles. "Well, at least those people are willing to fight."

Blitz nods as he sits down with her. "You can pay a man to take a point. You can pay him to charge a hill. But you can't pay him to believe. Only those that are willing to listen and understand are those that come out on top."

Ahsoka looks to him as Tarren moves into his lap as well. "Well, someone can become a speech maker."

"No need. Already arranged for some very charismatic members of the mandalorians to get to several of your republic planets as officials to give speeches to convince people to enlist." Blitz says.

Ahsoka sighs. "Well, we can be rest assured that if it comes to it. We don't need to worry about being short on manpower. Though the price per soldier will go up for pay."

"Well it just means the Kaminoans won't be getting all the military budget." Blitz says.

Ahsoka looks to him. "Who?"

"The ones who made the clones." Blitz says.

Ahsoka nods in understand as she pets Tarren. "They would be mad if the whole civilian population took over the military personal market."

"Well it has always been that way. Besides they can't keep up with the demand for troops so they have no right to complain." Blitz says.

Ahsoka shrugs. "At least we can have more battles in some areas where we couldn't with clones. No offense to them."

"Yeah. Clones aren't infinite in numbers. Oh, so I should probably speak with Saw and Steela soon." Blitz says.

Ahsoka nods. "Yeah, better go tell them what's coming in so they can train for it."

"More like convince them with facts to convince their people that to enlist is the best option." Blitz says.

Ahsoka chuckles. "I thought you were going to tell them about the weapons."

"Oh no, that is a surprise and they will be delivered in a covert drop in about eighteen hours." Blitz says.

Ahsoka hits his side. "You sly stallion."

"Yeah, so you enjoy the show?" Blitz whispers into her ear.

Ahsoka blushes as she moves away from him slightly. "Sh…show?"

"Yeah, you watched me undress after all." Blitz whisper into her ear as he rubs her back.

Ahsoka freezes up and grabs his hand. "I…I didn't."

"I love you." Blitz whispers making her smile.

Ahsoka sighs and lets him go. "Alright. You get this one pass."

"You said you wanted to try my cooking, right?" Blitz asks.

Ahsoka nods. "Yeah, what do you got?"

Blitz takes out a package from one of the pockets in his hunter's outfit and it was roasted meat in a container. "Try it out while I go talk." Blitz says.

Ahsoka smiles and opens it and then suddenly lifts it away as Tarren tries to take a bite out of it. "No, my food." She said tapping his head.

Blitz chuckles as he walks away and walks till he finds Saw, Steela, and Lux all together. "Saw, Steela, can I talk to you two alone for a moment?" Blitz calls.

They both look over and nod and follow him.

"Have you two thought about what you will do after you liberate your planet?" Blitz asks.

They both look confused for a moment. "Not really." Saw admits. "We figured we liberate it first and work from there."

"And what is to stop the Separatists to reinvade?" Blitz asks.

Steela holds up a finger. "Really we need an army to stop on the ground, but I thought the republic can't help us?"

"Yeah, the republic's armies are stretched to the breaking point." Blitz says.

Saw sighs. "Well we're going to need to build the old government back up and not unlike the one we all hate."

"Tell the truth, once the planet is liberated, will your populace think, 'Yeah, we won the war is over for us.'?" Blitz asks.

They both groan. "No they won't. We have to make them see the war still heading for us." Steela said.

"And the only way to guarantee the safety of your world is to keep fighting the separatist, but can you do that from here?" Blitz asks.

"What are you getting at?" Saw asks.

"Wait, you're suggesting we join the republic's army, aren't you?" Steela asks.

"Bingo." Blitz says.

They both look to each in thought as the possible event went through their heads.

"Here you won't be able fight them here." Blitz says.

"Well we might have to." Saw said.

"And we still need to give the people here hope." Steela said.

"Tell them the reality of the situation that the battle won't end in just your planet's liberation. That much more fighting needs to be done." Blitz says.

Steela nods. "Yeah, that would work. But we're going to need a worldwide view. I wonder if the king will help?"

"Talk to him about it as citizens can enlist." Blitz says.

Steela sighs. "At least we got somewhat of a plan here. But this may not be enough."

"Don't worry about it. We mandalorians know how to get the weapons needed. Also Steela, a romance between Ahsoka and Lux isn't going to happen." Blitz says.

Steela blushes. "Wha…what makes you say that? I got no feelings for anyone here."

"Please, I wouldn't be as good of a warrior let alone a general if I couldn't read others and Ahsoka doesn't have those feelings for Lux, but I can't say the same about Lux because I don't know him as well. So at best, it is a one sided relationship." Blitz says.

Steela looks back to Lux looking over some inventory. "I see."

"So go make your move if you want after the battle." Blitz says to Saw's confusion.

Saw looks confused. "Wait, what?"

"I'll leave you to your thoughts. Oh and Saw, could you get the troops to make room for new equipment?" Blitz asks.

Saw nods. "Sure. Just tell me where."

"Doesn't really matter." Blitz says.

Saw nods and walks away.

Later that night

"Saw the space been made?" Blitz asks.

Ahsoka nods as she watches from afar. "Yeah. Now we just need to worry about retaliation."

"Well it is time." Blitz says and whistles.

Several of the rebels turn to him hearing that. "Listen up, I need a few volunteers to come with me to get some equipment." Blitz says.

Some of them raise their hands. "Follow me." Blitz says before leading them away. They all start to follow as the rest continue their work.

In about an hour, they came back with several crates before the sun rose. "So what's in here?" One asks.

"Gather up everyone and you will see." Blitz says as the set them in a line.

Soon most of the rebels were awake and came out. "Saw, you want to be the one to open the crates?" Blitz asks.

Saw nods and moves to the crates before opening them. "What are these?" He asks taking one weapon out.

"Those are one of the most reliable seeker rocket launchers." Blitz says.

Saw hefts the launcher over his shoulder. "Alright, get to explaining. I'm itching to try it."

"Not just yet. Open this one." Blitz says tapping one of the crates with his foot.

Saw gets confused and puts the launcher and opens the crate. "What do we got?"

"These are specialized RPGs with two sets of ammo. The SRCS has a burst like effect, shoot this in the middle of a formation and how many will stay online." Blitz says handing him one of the green colored pieces of the ammo.

Saw hums as he looks between the weapon and ammo.

"And the spearhead here is designed to take out tanks, even if they have shields." Blitz says showing him the orange colored one.

Saw chuckles as he takes that one. "What else you got?"

"That is the only two for this shipment." Blitz says.

Saw gains a disappointed look. "Mind if I test these out?" He asks looking over to the shooting range.

"Use them sparingly. You have limited ammo." Blitz says.

Saw shrugs as he walks over and loads one of the ammo. "Got it." He said putting the other down and aims carefully.

"So, Steela been giving you any trouble?" Blitz asks.

Ahsoka shakes her head. "Not really. Though she still can't get why I don't want to pursue Lex."

"She'll get it one day." Blitz says.

Ahsoka nods as she sighs. "So how are you?"

"Good, you?" Blitz asks as he watches the mandalorians and royal army help train the rest of the rebels.

Ahsoka shrugs. "Same." She said looking upward to the sky.

"A lovely day, isn't it?" Blitz asks.

Ahsoka hums in agreement as she still stared upward.

"So now that Dooku know that jedi and mandalorians are helping the rebels, what do you think his response will be?" Blitz asks.

Ahsoka chuckles. "Eliminate their leaders." She tries to mimic before giggling. "Sorry, but yeah. He would try to get high valued either killed or on his side."

Blitz was about to say something when his communicator went off.

Ahsoka looks over as he looks it over. "Who is it?"

"Talk to me." Blitz says.

"Commander Dooku has sent fallen jedi to the city. They are killing protestors." The caller says.

Blitz sighs. "Alright. I'll go deal with it." He said getting up.

"Sir, it looks like they are mobilizing most of the army in the capital and there are three jedi in total and they are going with them." The caller says.

"Understood, get out of the city and get to my coordinates before the army." Blitz says.

"Understood. Anything else sir?" The caller asks.

"Don't engage. We are going to set up a defensive line." Blitz says cutting the line.

Ahsoka sighs as she got up. "What's the plan?"

"Well inform the council first and I will inform the rebels of this development." Blitz says.

Ahsoka nods and walks away to talk to them as Blitz heads down to the rebels still looking over the weapons and some sleeping.

"Steela, we got news from the capital." Blitz calls.

Steels looks over to him. "What is it?"

"They are sending a majority of the droid army in the capital at us and there is three fallen jedi among them." Blitz says.

Steela looks instantly worried. "We haven't trained to fight jedi or any kind yet. How can we beat that?"

"Leave them to me, the mandalorians, and Ahsoka for them." Blitz says.

Steela sighs. "Alright, what's the plan?"

"We set a trap." Blitz suggests.

Steela stares at him. "Got something for that?"

Blitz smirks under his helmet.

Steela grins as she watches the droid army get close to their trap. "This is going to be fun."

"Isn't strange we haven't seen a rebel yet?" A B-1 droid asks.

Another nods. "Yeah. Wonder where they are right now? Maybe they are on that cliff." It said pointing to one.

"Don't be short circuiting. They would never be there. They would be right in front of us." The first one said.

"You're righ…" The droid says before mines started going off.

"Hah! I win!" The other said before his friend got blown up. "Double win."

"I'm tempted to play cards while this happens." Blitz says.

Ahsoka smirks. "Got some with me just in case."

"Funny." Blitz says as the rebels starting to initiate their attacks with the gun emplacements. "See the fallen jedi yet?" Blitz says.

Ahsoka hums as she looks around. "Well, I got one on that tank in the middle. Got another near the back. But I can't see the last one."

"Which one you want?" Blitz asks.

Ahsoka sighs as she takes out her lightsabers. "I'll take the tank."

"I'll look for the one unseen." Blitz says before cloaking as the all but one of the other mandalorians cloaked and start to go flank.

Ahsoka sighs before jumping down and heads for the one on the tank as she slices through the ranks of the army.

"Ah, a jedi." The fallen jedi says firing the main cannon of the tank.

Ahsoka jumps off a droid and jumps over explosion as it hits behind her and starts jumping over the droids to the tank.

The fallen jedi drew his red lightsaber.

Ahsoka shakes her head as she was able to jump onto the tank and blocks the incoming swing at her. "Nice try." She said trying her other saber.

The two swing their lightsabers in either attacks or intercepts as the air unit droids come in only to come under fire by the RPGs.

Blitz hums as he watches the army march through the trail and notices the one bringing up the rear, but still not the last one. "Where are you?"

Soon he hears some droids behind him and turns to see the final one with some commando droids looking like they were trying to circle around him. "Oh, that's where." He said standing up and turns to them. "So what's the plan for you guys?" Blitz says before stealthily following them and taking out the droids one by one.

The fallen Jedi keeps looking around and tries to spot Blitz moving around and killing every single droid around before stopping in the middle facing the fallen Jedi as the robot parts fell apart.

"I must say, I am disappointed with you." Blitz says decloaking and ignites his darksaber.

The fallen jedi looks in his directions and wait for him while keeping his saber ready. "And what are the flaws?"

"Lack of foresight and not being able to detect me before I took out all of your support." Blitz says withdrawing his claws from his left gauntlet. "Now come on if you are tired of living." Blitz taunts.

The fallen Jedi huffs. "I'm not stupid." He said not moving.

"Oh, then you will just die." Blitz says shooting force lightning at him to his surprise not expecting that from a mandalorian.

"Ahhhhhhh!" The fallen Jedi fell to the ground as he was caught in the lightning. "How did you ah!"

"A stupid question." Blitz says before throwing his lightsaber, impaling him.

The fallen Jedi grunts as it went through him before Blitz pulls it back with the force and just falls over dead after Blitz stop the lightning attack.

Blitz huffs as he walks over and takes his saber before walking away after taking his lightsaber. "Idiot."

"But how?" Ahsoka's opponent asks as he was impaled by both of her lightsabers.

Ahsoka raises an eyebrow. "You lifted your lightsaber a bit higher than usual."

"Damn it." The fallen jedi says before Ahsoka withdrew her lightsabers.

Ahsoka sighs as he fell down and collects his saber before dropping a grenade into the tank and jumps high and lands on a cliff nearby as it explodes. Looking back, she saw the other fallen jedi was just destroyed as she was either being blasted or stabbed with a vibro weapon.

Ahsoka shakes her head as she walks away and looks over the saber she has. "I wish we can't do this every time."

"So they deployed ray shielded gunship droids huh?" Blitz says.

Ahsoka looks to him. "Sort of I guess. Maybe we should have bought an EMP."

"Or…" Blitz stops as one of the gunship droids takes a direct hit from a RPG and crashes.

Ahsoka smiles. "Well that takes care of that. What else we got?"

Blitz shrugs as he walks up to her. "Not much really at this point. We just have to stop their advance and hope we win. Even they would bring in something that would stop all of us."

Ahsoka makes a shrugging motion. "Guess so. Want to head down there and take some out?"

"Can't get involved remember?" Blitz reminds.

Ahsoka tosses the captured lightsaber to him. "Oh right. So what do we do in the meantime?"

"Oops, I misfired a rocket." Blitz says shooting a rocket into a clump of droids.

Ahsoka chuckles and 'accidentally' kicks over a bag of poppers. "My foot slipped." She said as they went off and took off almost half of a line.

Blitz chuckles. "Will these malfunctions ever stop?" He asks firing another rocket.

Ahsoka shrugs as she tosses a possible defunct popper over her shoulder into the army. "Never. It will always happen." She said as it went off.

"Hum…that gunship droids are coming in a little too fast to start firing on the line and…it has commando droids on it. They must be after our headquarters and the king." Blitz says before turning on his communicator. "Steela, Saw, they seem to be aiming for our headquarters and the king." Blitz says.

"What?! We'll head there now." Steela said.

"Also, all units be advised, all fallen jedi are now dead." Blitz adds.

A chorus of agreements with some cheering came out as the fight on the army seems to have intensified.

"I can see why you were chosen to be a general." Ahsoka says after he cut the line.

Blitz shrugs. "It's nothing much. Any leader can say this. Want to head back to base and help protect the king?"

"Yeah." Ahsoka says before they run off.

Blitz kept running through the tree line and sometimes teleports while Ahsoka jumps through and over the forest before they both reach the campsite and sees it being in a war zone at the moment. "Plan?" Ahsoka asks.

"Bring them down with extreme prejudice." Blitz says.

Ahsoka nods and jumps down as she starts attacking the droids while heading for the king as Blitz heads to the droids running quicker than the rest and starts shooting at the commando droids.

The gunship droid, seeing this, tries to bares its blaster but is hit from behind by a RPG by Saw.

Blitz smirks as he holds one of the commando and shoots it in the head while he had it in a headlock before throwing the body into another commando. "Not bad Saw!" He calls.

Saw gives him a thumbs up as Steela took out the last commando droid.

Blitz smiles as he throws the head of a droid away. "Now that's taken care of. I propose we move to another good camp."

"We can't move everything so soon." Steela says.

Blitz raises an eyebrow. "Yeah…I meant trying to move there. Not 'all at once before we are destroyed because there might be one on the tree line' move."

A few days later, they confirmed the remaining droid armies had withdrawn and the droid general shot and killed the usurper king, Sanjay Rash.

Ahsoka sighs as they finally were able to relax. "Why did his name sound like a bad rash?"

Blitz huffs as he sharpens a knife he had. "I thought it sounded like a bad TV show."

"So you think that Steela will finally make her move?" Ahsoka asks as Blitz pays the waiter.

Blitz shrugs. "I don't know. Time and style will tell. Though she does have a brave and can do personality. I think she will."

"Do you think the parade like march back into the city by the rebels was a little much?" Ahsoka says.

Blitz hums. "I think, showoff, comes into play here."

"Well at least we didn't join in." Ahsoka says.

"You also need to make a report to the council, don't you?" Blitz asks.

Ahsoka nods. "Yeah, a little later anyway. Besides," She waves her arms to the area they are in. "Public."

"Yeah." Blitz says smiling as he pulls down his hat as he wore his hunting outfit.

Ahsoka sighs. "So…ready to go?"

"So you want to listen to the speech they will be making to try and get civilians to join the galactic republic army?" Blitz ask.

Ahsoka shakes her head. "No, it's not needed. Besides, I don't do the big speech, more of a lecture one here."

"And here I thought you were more of the kiss and cuddling type." Blitz says smirking.

Ahsoka playfully frowns. "Unlike you where you are too bold."

"Shall we?" Blitz asks offering a hand.

Ahsoka nods and takes his hand as they walk back into the crowded streets and try to make it back to the camp where they were still living. "So…first big mission on the ground? How was it?" Ahsoka asks.

"Not my first big ground mission, but first one in this war." Blitz says.

Ahsoka chuckles. "Good. But how about with me?"

"Pretty good. We work well together commander." Blitz says.

Ahsoka rolls her eyes. "You know you don't have to call me that when we're alone…in a sense." She said looking around at the sparse crowd.

Blitz grins as he wraps an arm around her. "Don't worry. In private…in a sense…we can drop formalities."

Ahsoka smiles as she leans against him.

Blitz sighs in relief as he keeps looking around. "You know. I think I might have to make a room for you back at my home or rather my wife's. I think I'm going to be seeing a lot of you sooner than later."

Ahsoka shakes her head. "Oh Blitz. You would get it one day. Just not now."

"I know." Blitz says as the populace celebrates.

Ahsoka looks up to him. "You know, you are pretty good. Just need to work on your mannerism at times."

"Ha, yeah right. I ain't changing." Blitz says.

Ahsoka grins. "But then you would have to talk to officials too…so…manners need to change."

Blitz smirks. "But not for you. You're going to be seeing these for a long time."

Ahsoka sighs. "Well, let's see, inform the council, get back to our ships, have a little break and it's back to war."

Blitz leans over. "Well you can spend the break with me and my family. The foals just love having you around."

Ahsoka smiles. "I'll think about it. For now, report time. The biggest draw in school ever since it was made."

Blitz slumps a bit. "I know what you mean."

Ahsoka chuckles as she leans more on him as they continue walking.

After a week of spending time with his family, Blitz was informed he was to head out for a campaign against the CIS.

"Again huh?" Twilight asks as they tried to eat.

"Yeah and this time I will be gone for a long time, maybe even over a year." Blitz says.

Twilight looks down a bit. "Why does it have to be this way?"

"Because I'm in the military and we are at war." Blitz says.

Twilight sighs. "You're going to be missing a lot you know?"

"I know, but I will try and stay in touch with the holocalls." Blitz says.

Twilight still look down. "Why can't you just be here and just stay with us like you did before? You were always there for us."

"Because I have to lead the troops and fight the enemies so they can't come back here." Blitz says before getting up and walking over to her.

Twilight sniffs a bit. "I know…but…you'll be missing almost everything. Especially something about you."

"I know, but it can't be helped." Blitz says before kisses Twilight and rubbing her pregnant stomach.

Twilight wraps her arms around him and kisses back before separating. "We have a small surprise for you before you leave tomorrow."

"What is it?" Blitz asks.

Twilight smiles as she turns to the door and it opens to almost everypony there with a cart with a big cake on top. "Happy birthday, son." Mary said.

"Is today my birthday?" Blitz asks confused.

Mary sighs. "Your papers and birth certificate are gone. So when you finally found me and told me your story, I knew I had to come up with one since none of you have celebrated much. So I choose one where I finally became your mother again. I thought that was as a good time as any."

Blitz blinks as he walks over to them and looks at the cake that said 'Happy Unknown Birthday.' "Guys…this is…"

Mary smiles and hugs him. "Happy birthday my baby boy."

Blitz smiles and hugs her back. "I love you mom. And I love you guys." He said before they all decided to hug from any which way they could.

Twilight smiles as she walks over. 'He is a good stallion…for the both of us.' Chrysalis could only say, making Twilight smile. "Okay guys. Let's eat."

Blitz chuckles as he sat off to the side and watches everypony enjoy the party that only Pinkie could have thrown together. "This is definitely the best birthday I have ever seen."

Twilight smirks as she walks over with a gift wrapped box. "And it gets even better." She said giving it to him.

Blitz raises an eyebrow as he puts the cake down and opens the box to find a…skimpy nurse's outfit? "Um…Twi, I think the presents are mixed up."

Twilight smiles. "They're for us silly. Since most of us are pregnant again, we can't do much. But this is a great thing to wear for now and maybe if you come back, we can give you a good time. Or heck, some of us can put on a show for you."

Blitz chuckles as he gives it back to her. "Alright then. Some of you put them on and you can snuggle with me. I won't be doing anything, but enjoying the time here right now."

Twilight nods and moves over to him and kisses his cheek. "Happy birthday Blitz."

Blitz smiles and kisses her back before letting go. "Thanks for this."

Twilight sighs as she takes the outfit away and goes over to the others and talks with them as Blitz takes the cake and moves to his room before Twilight, Rainbow, Pinkie, and Rarity were in their outfits and moves to snuggle with him in his bed. "Good night girls." He said pulling the covers around them.

"Happy birthday Blitzy." They all said as Blitz turns out the lights.

Chapter 1 (Part 12): Reset the Line

Something has gone wrong. We don't seem to have an archived copy of that chapter.

Chapter 2 (Part Bonus): Take the Ropes

Author's Note

Flair: Hello everyone. This is a special chapter here.

And I didn't notice at the time that we finished the last one. I actually forgot to upload the stupid thing.

Flair: Now this is a bonus chapter. Its main focus is to show more about the academy, it's curriculum, and how Blitz, inspired by Darth Imperious, chose to train and educate the sith and Jedi he would teach. We are also going to show a little of the vehicle, starfighter, ship, and aircraft training. Note, this will be of multiple perspectives. But note that those training to be sith has the hardest course. They are expected to go through the military course as well as training in the force. This is because Blitz sees the sith ways as more militant in nature while Jedi ways are more passive in nature. So while required for those who will become sith the Jedi can sign up for the course, but are not required like the sith.

Literally, military school guys. Just with additional areas for Jedi and sith alike.

Flair: And note, this is when Arcane starts his first day of the academy at the age 10. The reason why not sooner like when Jedi take those who would join their ranks early in their lives is because Blitz saw this as more of a hindrance than a benefit to both branches of the force in the long term.

Also needed as a requirement for those of Equestria is that those who join the Academy have to finish regular school, either elementary for those of force sensitive and high school graduate for those that are not.

Flair: But for those nearby or who want to be close to the academy, there is an elementary, middle, and high school part of it.

Now that we got that part out of the way and usual things you would see for a brochure, let's start with Arcane's look on things.

Chapter 2 (Part Bonus): Take the Ropes

"Alright, Arcane, time to go to the academy." Twilight says, smiling at him as she lays on her pregnant stomach.

Arcane looks a bit miserable at the sound of more school. "Do I have to? I already went through it."

Twilight softly poke his horn and smiles. "Yes. You are able to use the force. Blitz wants you to learn how to use it at least. Don't worry. Your big brother Blazer is going to be able to walk you through every step of the way. You'll see. You'll love it like I have during my years at Celestia's Academy."

"But Blazer can't use the force." Arcane argues.

"And that's why Blitz also made it like a regular school. He's learning many things and so is many other ponies and other beings. Even if they aren't force sensitive, they still want to learn." Twilight says rubbing his head. "You better get going. Your brother Azure is also going for his second year."

Arcane sighs. "Okay. Love you mom." He says going to her and hugs her.

Twilight chuckles and hugs him back. "Love you too honey. Now off you go. Make sure you learn."

Arcane shakes his head as he hefts his backpack and walks out of the castle, finding Azure speaking with some of the front gate changeling guards. "Hey, big bro." Arcane calls running up.

"Arcane, you finally ready?" Azure asks turning to him.

"Yeah…unfortunately." Arcane says frowning.

Azure smiles as he pats his back. "Come on little bro. You'll be fine. Me and Blazer will show you around."

"Great." Arcane whines as a speeder pull up to them.

Azure smiles to him. "Come on. Let's take a fast way."

Arcane groans slightly as Azure pulls him onto the speeder. "Since when did they learn the speeder?" Arcane asks as the changeling driver speeds off.

"Since the war started young hatchling prince." The changeling says smiling a bit.

"Now do you have your schedule?" Azure asks.

"Yeah. Mom gave me mine." Arcane says patting his backpack.

"Good. Because you going to need it." Azure says smiling before frowning a bit. "Did you hear Blazer is about to leave the academy?"

"Oh come on." Arcane whines.

Azure looks to him. "Don't worry. I'll stick with you."

"Alright, from here you head into the auditorium for the orientation." Azure says pointing down a hall.

Arcane sighs. "You'll stay with me?"

"Sorry little brother. I have to head to class. My homeroom teacher doesn't allow tardiness, but don't worry, dad will be there." Azure says.

Arcane slouches his head. "Okay. Thanks for at least being here big bro."

Azure pats his back. "No problem. We're family. Now get going. You got a big day ahead of you."

Arcane sighs as he started walking as he started to be joined by others wearing the same uniform as himself and those who were wearing an army green version.

"No, big bro. I don't need any more tech support. I can handle the computer on my own." Arcane hears and looks over to see Sunshine walking by him talking on her omnitool. "Hey, big bro." Sunshine says turning to him.

"You just joined too?" Arcane asks a bit confused.

Sunshine nervously chuckles. "I may have skipped last year's orientation. Now I need it to pass."

"How the heck did you get in early?" Arcane asks confused.

"Computer mix up." Sunshine says smirking. "Thanks, bro." She whispers into the omnitool.

"You asked Tek to put you in the system? Why?!" Arcane asks surprised.

"Because." Sunshine stopped as she received a message. "Uh oh. Father isn't very happy."

"You think?" Arcane asks sarcastically.

"Time to go receive my punishment." Sunshine says turning around and walking off almost proudly.

Arcane rolls his eyes as he continues with everyone else.

Arcane trudges along the hall before collapsing onto a bench. "So…much…work…for…first…class…"

"It gets better as time goes on." Blazer suddenly says sitting by him in a trenchcoat and a bag near him with his swords sticking out.

"Hey, bro. What are you up to?" Arcane asks looking up.

Blazer smiles. "Taking a break. I practiced enough for some time. So…I'm goofing off." He says grinning.

"Really?" Arcane asks aghast.

Blazer chuckles. "I'll tell you this, the classes get longer, but a bit less work. You just need to put around two weeks of work each for each project. As for me, though…I got sword training…dad got me a griffon master…and my big test is today." He says before shaking his head. "I'm going to have to leave soon little bro. Earlier than I promised dad."

"Oh come on. Can't you stay around and help me?" Arcane asks.

Blazer slowly shakes his head. "I got till the end of the day. Dad has been pairing me up with Jedi and Siths with lightsabers…let's just they almost lost their head and it takes almost an hour to get the energy back into the crystal. My original dad didn't know what he was asking for at the time. Our dad even agrees that weapons of destruction and power should be limited. Besides, my last test will be a sword master from the griffon counties. Dad will take that and I will have to go." He says before looking to see Arcane with his head down now. "Don't worry. Your other big bro and little bros and sis will be there for you."

"Speaking of little sis." Arcane starts.

"She is having to clean all the walkers used in practice today by hoof with no reality bending." Blazer informs.

"Oh, she really loves to use mommy Pinkie's power." Arcane says shrugging.

"Yeah, if she does, dad will punish her more and mommy Pinkie is watching her."

Arcane sighs. "So when do you have this test?"

Blazer reaches into his backpack and fiddles around before finding his schedule. "Let's see. You got an hour before my test from your last class."

"And what then? What will you do?" Arcane asks as Blazer shoves the schedule back into his backpack.

"Hang out with my group." Blazer says waving to a group of stallions and mares a bit away and they wave back. "And you guys haven't been paying attention to what was happening to all the gangs and businesses around Canterlot and Manehattan. By the way, shouldn't you be getting to your next class?"

"Shit!" Arcane yells grabbing his bag and runs off.

Blazer chuckles as one his bodyguards walks over. "Increase pressure. Make sure they pay and know who they are now answering too."

Tek hums to himself as he picks up the server box before shoving it into the rack. "Okay. You can connect it now." He says leaning his head to see Eve's flank sitting out behind the server rack. "And make sure you don't shock yourself." He says before going to a maintenance dolly and hears some electricity crackle. "I warned ya." He says picking up the next server box.

"I am still fine." Eve says coming out from behind the rack, her metal mane sticking up a little.

"No, you're not. Ground yourself at least." Tek says moving to get the next server setup. "Dad wants all these lines of racks done by tonight."

Eve blinks and tilts her head. "Blazer has just booked a flight to Manehattan."

Tek sighs as he pushes in the server. "Well…he'll be back. He needs to since he started to go out with that prissy filly."

Eve blinks. "Diamond Tiara. Records indicate that her father, Filthy Rich, has enrolled her into the business sector of the school."

"Makes sense. Blazer will be taking control of many businesses soon and now he will be taking control of the high mob boss." Tek says rereading the old files on the many businesses Blazer has already taken and the time stamp.

Eve leans past the rack at him. "Is it possible that he will soon be the leader of all the businesses in the world? Probability indicates it can happen."

"Oh. He will leave three others to control some corners of the markets. He needs competition for a reason." Tek says smiling as he connects the server.

"So…probability?" Eve asks.

"High chance of him gaining a monopoly in many areas with few competition, but enough of it." Tek says chuckling.

"And areas in outer space?" Eve asks.

"Very, very high? It seems it's easier out there than here." Tek says smiling. "Now then, help me finish up. The quicker we do, the quicker we can play together."

Eve smiles a bit and walks over to him.

"And that is basically what the force is." A Jedi master says as a droid wrote down his words onto the display behind him so all the students could copy it for notes.

Arcane groans as he rubs his face. 'How does my family sit through this? It's boring.'

"And that is all for today's class lecture. You are to study pages one through eight tonight as your homework and now I will explain to you all the ranks in both revised jedi and the sith orders in this school." The master says, getting all their attentions.

Arcane blinks as he now pays attention.

"Right now, you are all under the category of force sensitive. This is the lowest rank where everyone starts. From here, all of you will either be sorted into either the sith or jedi order. How this will be done isn't to be revealed till the time has come." The jedi informs stopping to let it sink in as the droid pulls up a picture of a mannequin in the light brown uniform they all wore.

Arcane looks to his own uniform at that. 'I always did wonder why dad had this personally made for me.'

"The next rank is the jedi and sith hopefuls. These are the next rank in the hierarchy. It means you are officially a member of that order." The master says as the droid brought up four images, a male and female wearing a black and red uniform on the left while a male and female wore a light and blue one on the right both having the insignia of the academy on them.

Arcane tilts his head. 'It does look nice…but it needs a little flair.'

"Then after you complete the next level, you advance to Jedi initiate and Sith acolyte of the respective orders." The master says as the images change and a stylish sash was now around the waist with the insignias of the jedi order and the reformed sith order on them beside the academy's.

'That looks nice…when can we get custom?' Arcane thinks as he also thought about what to make his.

"Next is the Jedi padawan and the Sith apprentice ranks. These are the final ranks of those in the academy." The jedi informed as the picture changed to where all had a military barrette and a sash from their waist to over their shoulder of their respective colors.

'I really need to ask mommy Rarity to make me a outfit.' Arcane thinks to himself.

"From there, you will be separated into three ranks in both orders. For the jedi, they are the Jedi guardian, Jedi sentinel, and Jedi consular. As such, they are not a part of the academy so they have no official uniform." The jedi says as the droid pulled up three images of different jedi.

'Somewhat…cool.' Arcane thinks unsure.

"Then for sith, you will be separated into Sith warrior, Sith shadow, and Sith inquisitor." The jedi informed as the three jedi were replaced with three illustrations of sith of those classes.

'Wonder what I'll be?' Arcane thinks of both sides.

"Then for jedi, you will become a Jedi knight." The jedi informs letting the droid put up a new image of a jedi.

'Eh.' Arcane thinks blandly.

"Then the Sith warrior will become a Sith marauder or juggernaut, the Sith shadow will become assassins, and Sith inquisitor will become Sith Sorcerers." The jedi says as the droid brought up three new illustrations of the ranks.

'Which are you dad?' Arcane thinks.

"Next for the jedi is the famous rank. The jedi master like myself," The jedi informed showing an illustration of a jedi master.

'I know dad isn't that.' Arcane thinks smiling.

"Then for sith is the Sith master." The jedi says showing an illustration of a sith master.

'Nope. Still not dad.' Arcane thinks chuckling.

"Then for jedi is the jedi council members. These are senior jedi masters who are chosen to sit on councils to oversee their orders. Famous ones are the jedi high council and the ancient sith's dark council." The Jedi says showing an illustration of jedi masters sitting around discussing something.

'Yeah…that's not even him at all.' Arcane thinks shaking his head.

"Then there is the Sith lord for the sith." The jedi says showing them an illustration of a powerful sith.

'Close.' Arcane thinks raising an eyebrow.

"Then the final rank of the jedi. The jedi grand master." The jedi informs showing an illustration of a peaceful jedi.

'Yeah…still not dad. He's never that peaceful.' Arcane thinks shaking his head.

"Then the sith have the Sith council member. Think the jedi council member's just made up of sith lords." The jedi says showing an illustration of sith discussing something.

'Nope. Even he doesn't talk long without smashing the table.' Arcane thinks smiling as he imagines Blitz smashing the table in half.

"And finally their final rank. The Sith overlord." The jedi says showing an illustration of a very powerful sith.

'Yep. That's dad.' Arcane thinks smiling.

"Those are the ranks. I advise you all to commit it to memory and with that, class dismissed." The jedi announced.

"Finally." Arcane says getting his bag and walks out with everyone.

For the next year, Arcane went through many classes from the core of any school to learning how to use the force, meditation, and physical training till at the start of the second year, all of his class and those of the same year who were force sensitive were gathered in the auditorium where he saw his father in full armor.

'Aw Tartarus.' Arcane thinks rubbing his head.

"Welcome, all to your second year at the academy. Now, I know all of you must be wondering with rumors spreading that your second year is the year you are separated into either the jedi or the sith orders. Well, they are true. You will be tested right after this orientation." Blitz informs.

"Oh, crap." Arcane says shaking his head.

"As such, prepare yourselves as we start now. Everyone follow the jedi and sith masters to our destination." Blitz instructs.

Arcane and everyone gets up to follow the masters as Blitz steps off to the side and contacts somepony. "Azure, cut class and come to me now. Don't worry, I'll talk to the professor." He says before heading off to the testing rooms.

"Hey, little bro, your orientation going well?" Azure asks over the omnitool.

"Yeah. It's fine." Arcane says rolling his eyes.

"I'm sorry I can't come, bro. Dad made it quite clear I am to never interfere with the second year force sensitive class orientation." Azure says.

"Yeah, obviously." Arcane says sighing.

"Sorry little bro. Besides, we are about to get our first lesson in walkers." Azure says excited.

"Good luck." Arcane says.

"Thanks." Azure says cutting the line as Arcane headed outside with the rest of the grade. As they trekked across the premise, they saw walkers moving around not too far away.

"Good luck big bro." Arcane says watching them move.

"Alright everyone, in here." A jedi calls as they were in front of a fort like structure used for practice.

"Everyone?" One asks.

"Yes. Everyone." A sith instructs before they were lead into the structure and then down into the bottom of it where there were many doors. "Ok. I will explain what is about to happen. This level is made of a special material that resonates with the force. Each one of you will enter into the doors where you will meditate alone. Doing this will temporarily increase your presence in the force enough for us to tell something about your connection. From there we will inform you what comes next." The sith informs.

Everyone looks around before some started to enter the room and the rest lined up for their choice in rooms, Arcane included.

After all of them had been put in a room, the lights went out and all the jedi and sith sat down waiting and sensing.

After a bit of time, the doors opened again, the students all a bit confused as they were lead out where they came from as the next batch went into the rooms, now with Arcane going into his as he sat down and the lights went off. "Cozy." He says starting to meditate.

"All right. Time to put yourself to use and protect your younger brother." Blitz says on the other side of the wall as he watches with Azure, whose eyes were glowing.

"Little brother is more balanced in it." Azure informs.

"So then it will be by choice will it?" Blitz says thinking.

Azure shrugs. "It could be anything and…" He stops as Blitz smiles.

"Yes. Now you see why I brought you." Blitz says shaking his head. "Your auntie Terra is trouble as it is. I need you to keep an eye on those two souls. Protect your younger brother."

Azure slowly nods as he watches one blue and one red energy source in Arcane, separated, yet mingling only a bit.

After the trial, most of that year was standing in front of a jedi and sith. "Alright, all of you, it is now time for you to choose what order to join. The jedi or the sith." The sith informs.

"Think hard on this as it could influence the rest of your life. But once you decide, head to either the jedi or sith section to finalize it. You have till tomorrow to decide." The jedi adds.

The students all started to talk as some started to make their choice and go their way before others left to make their choice later.

Arcane stood there. 'So I am supposed to choice? No one to tell me which to go to or anything?' Arcane thinks, lost in thought? just standing there, never noticing the rest of the students, jedi, and sith leaving the room.

"Has little bro always had it this way? Lost direction?" Azure asks as they watch from another room now.

"Yes. He can be very indecisive on matters. Unlike his mother Twilight." Blitz says before a hand smacked him behind the head.

"Enough of that. Arcane may be that, but that's because there is nothing driving him. He knows we can handle ourselves well and well…what's there for him to do?" Twilight asks walking up.

"He has to find his own way Twi." Blitz says leaning into her.

"And he can't do it without a drive." Twilight reminds.

"Twilight, we have argued this many times. I am not going to argue it again, ok?" Blitz asks petting her.

Twilight purrs. "Please Blitz. Just give him something. He hasn't had any input for his whole life."

"And that needs to change. He needs to take charge and make this choice." Blitz says calming the protective mother.

Twilight purrs and moves under his hoof. "That feels good."

"Now stay calm." Blitz says grabbing and holding her.

"Ah. Dad." Azure says walking away.

"You can go." Blitz says.

Azure shakes his head as he gets out of there.

"Here I am." Arcane says heading into the Sith section.

A sith master looks up from his desk as other students mingled about. "Are you here to finalize your choice?"

"Yes. I want to join the sith order." Arcane says.

The sith nods and quickly grabs his ID from the scanner. "Go on. The orientation will begin shortly."

Arcane nods as he heads in with many other students. Soon, they were addressed by a sith master who started giving them a welcome speech. "Now in closing, I will inform you have taken the harder, more rewarding road by choosing to become a sith. As a sith student, you will all be required to take every military course. Not the advanced stuff, just the basic courses." The sith master informs as Arcane realized most of the turians from his grade that were force sensitive were here.

'Of course. War basic and Turians always mix quite well. Why am I not surprised?' Arcane thinks as he tries to picture his classes.

"That is all. See to the front desk and get your new uniforms. Sith Hopefuls dismissed." The sith master calls, showing he was very military.

'Let's hope I don't get shouted at that much.' Arcane thinks as he gets up at oh everyone else and head out.

"Alright, what he have here is a DC-15A blaster rifle. These were the standard issue rifle for clones in the clone wars. Can anyone tell me what is this blaster's maximum range?" The instructor asks showing the weapon to the class.

"Ten kilometers at maximum power." A turian says.

"Very good. With that kind of range, this blaster isn't a true repeating blaster. As such, it's accuracy degrades with sustained fire." The instructor lectured as the students, even Arcane, paid very close attention.

'If not sent through amplifiers to help sustain the massive loss of energy.' Arcane thinks as he places a footnote.

"But in a trained professional's hands, it is a very deadly weapon as seen in the overall kill ratio being heavy with the clones over the battle droids. Now who would like to try these weapons out?" The instructor asks.

All the Turians raised their hands at that as Arcane shakes his head, slightly amused.

"Then step up. We have plenty on training mode." The instructor says as the students started coming up to get one of the rifles and were instructed on how to use them properly.

'This isn't so bad.' Arcane thinks as he tests fires the rifle.

"Today, all of you will get to see what an All Terrain Tactical Enforcer or an AT-TE is capable of." An instructor says as a walker moves onto the field. "Now this walker might be old, but she still packs a punch." The instructor says as the AT-TE stops and takes aim at a target before firing, hitting it from twenty kilometers away, destroying most of it.

'Dang. Even after all this time.' Arcane thinks.

"Now can anyone tell me what they noticed from that demonstration?" The instructor asks.

"Chemical explosion from a mass-driver cannon." Arcane points out.

"Correct. That gun on the top is, in fact, a mass-driver, not a laser cannon like most would expect." The instructor says as a nearby facility started messing with a console and cardboard cutouts of generic pirates onto of an RC platforms of some kind started coming out and moving around. "It also features six anti-personnel laser cannons. Four on the front and two the back." The instructor informs as lasers started to be shot from the walker, each one hitting the target.

"Cool." Arcane says smiling a bit.

"Next, we have the Republic Interceptor TX-130 Saber-class fighter tank or the IFT-X." The instructor says as an old speeder came out of the garage as the walker headed to the garage.

Someone boos in the crowd and most of them chuckle at that. "Ah. You say that now, but the Interceptor was used as armored cavalry and anti-tank units. Can anyone tell me what they have?" The instructor calls for.

"Two dual heavy laser cannons." A turian calls.

"Correct, but what really set them apart is, unlike the walker, they have two Exo-Shell 3 Shield Projectors. Making more defensible. As such." The instructor informs as two repeating laser cannon turrets rose and started firing on the tank.

'Yeah. That can kill.' Arcane thinks, but to his surprise, the lasers couldn't penetrate the shield as the tank moved past at a good speed. 'Huh. Who knew.'

"As you can see, it powered through no problem, barely losing speed and now it demonstrates its dual laser cannons." The instructor informs before the tank started opening fire on a few targets, destroying them.

'Not bad. Good enough for a line.' Arcane thinks.

"It also can be equipped up top with either a medium twin laser turret or beam cannon turret. The turret I doubt you need to be told what that can do, but the beam cannon fires a steady red laser beam at a direct target for about two to three seconds and afterward it would have to take three seconds to recharge. In those few seconds, it could do a large amount of damage to any infantry unit, and could even take down a destroyer droid's shields in one blast. The turret was often used against infantry units, but it could also do some minor damage to armored tanks during a battle." The instructor says before everyone heard, "I love this part!" from the tank.

'Oh boy.' Arcane thinks as a beam fired from the top of the tank, burning a hole through a big target.

"And last, but certainly not least, are its dual thermal detonator missile launchers." The instructor calls.

Arcane blinks at that. 'Thermal huh?'

"These prove especially devastating to the separatist droid armies as many of their heavy unshielded armor were destroyed when hit with such a weapon usually." The instructor says before the tank fired a missile at a clump of targets put together in a loose formation.

The targets all exploded as splinters fell apart from it. Arcane smiles that. 'Cool.'

"And as you saw, droids in formation were nearly destroyed from it. Now the next in the line of the Saber-class assault tank is what the empire is currently using, the TX-130T fighter tank or IFT-T." The instructor calls as a new one with a different paint job and different top. "Now as you can see, even though it is an upgrade, not much about the tank is improved. It has slightly better armor and shielding, but other than that, the only difference is that it now comes equipped with the beam cannon turret and also carries concussion missiles with the thermal detonator missiles. This vehicle is made for infantry support and for anti-tank combat." The instructor informs as the tank starts demonstrating its arsenal.

'Makes sense. How many are there?' Arcane thinks to himself.

"Now let me introduce you to our latest tank, the 2-MA Sabre-class repulsor tank." The instructor calls and out came a bigger heavier armored looking one colored black and unlike the other two it had no exposed top, but a fully armored top with a laser medium laser cannon turret and anti-infantry laser cannon.

'Okay.' Arcane thinks taking note in his mind.

"As you can see, it has both a laser medium laser cannon turret and an anti-infantry laser cannon on top. It also has five heavy laser cannons. Three on the front two on the back. It also, like it's previous designs, has two missile launchers, but carries forty missiles unlike the twenty and sixteen of the last two. It's standard missiles are the thermal detonator, concussion, and ion missiles." The instructor informs.

"Instructor, can the two cannons on the top turn?" Arcane asks.

"Good eye. Yes, the cannons can turn a full three sixty degrees. This can fire in any direction so it has no real blind spots." The instructor says as the tank lines up a shot, destroying targets with both cannons.

'Good. That's way better.' Arcane thinks as he imagines what it can be used for.

"Now. That is all for our demonstration today. Now get out your notebooks and start taking notes." The instructor instructed.

Azure idly reads a book as Sunshine walks past him before jumping and sitting by him. "Hey, sis."

"Hey, bro. Whatcha doin?" She asks cheerfully.

"Reading…watching." Azure says flipping a page.

"Boring." Sunshine complains.

"Welcome to school." Azure says shrugging. "How's your studying going?"

"Oh. It's boring. But mom did make me this thing." Sunshine says cheerfully, holding up a big hammer that was slightly bigger than her.

Azure goes wide-eyed as he backs away a bit. "Um…sis?"

"Sunshine, smash!" Sunshine cheers, bringing her hammer down and shakes the whole building while only leaving a few cracks in the ground.

"Oh. Dad's not going to be too happy about this." Azure says worriedly.

"Sunshine Reed, please report to the headmaster's office. Sunshine Reed, please report to the headmaster…and bring your hammer!" An announcement yells.

"Ah!" Sunshine whines.

"Now little lady." Blitz's voice calls through the intercom.

Sunshine whines again as she gets up and stomps away. "Frazza grazza, trikczza…" She mutters frowning.

"Um…bro?" Arcane calls over the omnitool.

"Sunshine." Azure says simply.

"Ah. That explains everything." Arcane says. "You got free time man?"

"Yeah. I got about half an hour. Where?" Azure asks, closing and packing his book.

"Balcony overlooking the courtyard. You see the new tank?" Arcane asks.

"Heck yeah. Really loving new designs and everything. On the way." Azure says smiling getting up and grabs his bags as he leaves the lobby.

"So what is your next class?" Arcane asks.

"On physics for arrows, bullets, even lasers. Got to know how to shot, then it is drivers ed." Azure says smiling.

"Ah, man. You get to learn how to drive a speeder?" Arcane whines.

"Yeah, bro. Don't they teach about speeders and that in the sith line of work?" Azure asks.

"I am only a second year." Arcane whines.

"You'll get your chance soon. It's like having a requirement to have that class." Azure explains as a bell sound came over the intercom. "Oh, lunchtime." Azure says getting up.

"I'm coming." Arcane says smiling at the prospect of food.

'About time to finally learn this stupid thing. I have been waiting for so long.' Arcane thinks as he steps into the large classroom.

The class suddenly went quiet as the door opened and in walked a sith, a jedi, and then a white droid looking creature.

'Okay. What's the first part of the agenda?' Arcane thinks.

"Welcome, all. I am Grievous and I will be your instructor to get all of you into fighting shape." Grievous says, making many of the turians talks, recognizing the name.

Arcane blinks. 'Didn't dad kill this guy?'

"Now, I will say this nicely." Grievous says before slamming his fist onto the table, splintering it on impact. "I do that put up with crap in my class. If I say you do, you fucking do it!"

Arcane blinks again. 'Holy…crap…this will be awesome.'

"Now who can tell me what this is?" Grievous asks holding up and igniting a lightsaber.

"Lightsaber." Arcane answers immediately, hoping to get to the good parts.

"Well, good job." Grievous says sarcastically. "I would hope you would know seeing as this is lightsaber combat class!" Grievous yells berating.

'Okay. He's an asshole. Why did dad spare him?' Arcane thinks frowning slightly.

"So today, you will be receiving these." Grievous says as both the jedi and sith brought out racks out practice sabers.

Arcane frowns slightly more. 'Okay. Nothing to worry about. Just need to practice with this stuff and I'll be fine.'

"Now everyone come and get them now as we are heading straight to the training area behind me." Grievous informs and everyone gets up and starts to grab a training blade as they next lined up for the training area. Arcane, hearing that, left his stuff and went to get one. After that, for the next four hours, they were taught some basics and drill in them without much rest until the bell rings. "Class dismissed, but you are to practice what you have learned here very intently if you ever hope to wield a lightsaber." Grievous says in a way that the class couldn't tell if they had satisfied him or not with their performance that day.

Arcane pants as he packs his bag. 'Well…at least it's one step closer.'

The training seemed to fly by as Arcane's class were schooled in everything from battlefield related to civil related topics. They were also trained hard in physical matters, making sure they were in good shape and were taught how to fight very well. Then there was training in the force. Everything was difficult to learn, but after a while, Arcane started to enjoy it from the sparing to practicing with the force, heck, he even came to enjoy learning the core stuff like math, history, physics, and everything else.

"Oh, you look so handsome my little colt." Twilight says hugging Arcane in his Sith acolyte uniform.

Arcane smiles a bit. "Yeah. A bit cool huh?"

"Yes, you are." Twilight says as a little filly foal crawled under their hooves.

Arcane smiles down to his little sister. "Hey, little sis. How are you?" Arcane asks, making the foal look at him and giggles.

Twilight smiles as she picks up the alicorn foal and hugs her. "So how did your date go?" She asks petting the foal's mane.

"About that…" Arcane says nervously.

Twilight sighs. "Let me guess…she left when you went cheap and simple?"

"I like cheap and simple." Arcane tries to explain.

"Then she's not the mare for you. You'll find a mare one day." Twilight says smiling.

"Come on bro. Azure is waiting to give us a ride in his speeder." Lightning calls.

"Lucky bastard." Arcane curses under his breath.

"Come on bro." Spectrum calls.

"Give me a sec." Arcane calls back before turning back to Twilight. "Bye, mom." He says kissing her cheek before looking to his little sister. "Bye sis." He says giving a quick kiss to her cheek and runs off.

The filly giggled, pushing on him.

Twilight smiles as she rocks her gently. "Good luck son."

Azure shakes his head as he looks over his omnitool before feeling a heavy weight push down the speeder. "You need to lose weight."

"I'm an alicorn." Arcane says dryly.

Azure looks behind him to the stallion twice the size of him. "Not a good excuse."

"Can we just switch to humanoid so nobody has a right to complain?" Spectrum asks.

A flash of light and they were all turned into humans, with Arcane slightly bigger than all of them. "Better?" Arcane asks.

"Yes, now don't whine anymore. Both of you." Spectrum scolds.

"She is sounding more like momma Rainbow every day." Arcane says looking to his big brother.

"That's a given." Azure says as they all get on.

"Better not let her hear that at school you two. She told me she and the wonderbolts were stopping by to help teach pegasus to fly." Lightning points out.

"Yeah. That's going to be tough to do." Arcane says as Azure takes off.

"Wait?! Mom is going to be there today?!" Spectrum yells.

"Yeah. Dad asked her to help teach some flight in case of trouble." Lightning says.

"Oh, today will be fun." Spectrum says as they sped to the academy.

"That was a distraction?" Azure asks as Blitz leads them down the hall.

"Celebrity endorsements are always good to have." Blitz says smiling.

"Really dad?" Azure asks.

"Was our idea." Rainbow says landing in front of them.

Blitz chuckles as he wraps a hoof around her. "Yeah. With her team taking care of the students, we can handle other matters, very serious matters."

"And me?" Spitfire asks.

"I can do you." Blitz says smirking to her.

"And me?" Fleetfoot asks.

"Get all of you later and wear your uniforms." Blitz says smirking to them.

"Um…dad?" Azure says, reminding them he was there.

Blitz rolls his eyes. "You'll get used to it when you get your own mares and…stallions." He stutters as he looks to Spectrum.

"Mommy!" Spectrum yells, running past and pushing Azure out of the way to hug Rainbow.

Rainbow laughs as she hugs back. "Hi, honey."

"Mommy." Spectrum says squeezing her as hard as she could.

Rainbow chokes a bit. "Honey. Let up on the hug. Only Pinkie does it this hard."

"Oh, somepony missed her mom." Blitz says smirking.

Rainbow rolls her eyes. "Just show them the surprise."

"No, that is your job." Spitfire says snickering.

"I'm busy trying to coordinate the lesson." Rainbow tries to defend.

"Right now?" Fleetfoot asks, joining Spitfire in the smirk.

Rainbow sticks her tongue out at them.

"And you left me to do most of the work." Soarin growls, walking up to them.

Blitz chuckles. "Only because you got the stamina to keep up."

"You come here." Soarin demands.

"You get back to work and leave my wives and kids alone." Blitz orders.

"I am your wife to mister!" Soarin says obviously pissed and Blitz walks over to her.

"Care to show it?" Blitz asks chuckling.

"You stay right there. I am chewing these three out." Soarin informs.

Blitz gives a quick kiss. "Go ahead. I'll take the foals."

"Congratulations, you have gone up a rank. I think we can stop going so easily on your training." Grievous says in the tone that all the students had come to expect.

'Oh boy. Here we go.' Arcane thinks rubbing his head.

"Now we are moving on. You will now start using these in practicing in here." Grievous says walking over a few tables lined with lightsabers. "Now who wants to tell me what these are." Grievous inquired.

'I'm not even going to touch that.' Arcane thinks, thinking back to the first time.

"No one? Are you all so stupid to not even know?" Grievous asks.

'No. He's baiting us into a double trap. Let someone else take the fall.' Arcane thinks frowning.

"No one then? It would seem I am very disappointed in all of…" Grievous starts.

"Sir?" One of the other students says and Grievous looks over to the tables and sees one of the sabers shaking before it flew to Arcane who grabbed it.

"Sorry. Got tired of the silence." Arcane says quickly taking apart the saber with the force and looks it over. 'I am such an idiot.'

"Someone has been practicing their telekinesis. So tell us, what is it?" Grievous says, now looming over Arcane, showing even in humanoid form, he towered over Arcane.

'Oh yeah. He's big.' Arcane thinks as he kept looking through every part before he stops at one. "The power regulator is not as strong. This is a training saber, isn't it?"

"Well, even planet dwellers can make something of themselves if they try." Grievous says sarcastically walking back.

Arcane raises an eyebrow as he slowly puts the saber back together.

"Now, like I was saying, you will all be training with these in class and your training will be stepped up." Grievous informs.

'Well, this will be something else.' Arcane thinks as he floats the saber back onto the table.

"Now come and get them, all of you. We are starting today with sparing against the commando droids." Grievous says as many BX-series droid commandos jump down and pull out a sparring saber.

'Now? Great. And these things are a hassle.' Arcane thinks as a lot of the students gets up to grab their sabers.

"Begin!" Grievous orders.

After hours of sparring, the droids stopped and Grievous walks up with noticeably more jedi and sith than usual. "Today is a special day. Today, we start teaching you the style you will come to use as a wielder of the lightsaber. Will you use one or two? Maybe you will use a double blade or a force pike as your weapon? Either way, you will start your training now. Now you must choose." Grievous informs.

Arcane blinks as he looks to his training saber and tries to think of the moves he has been putting out. He then starts moving it between hands before stopping and heads to those who had two lightsabers on their belts.

"Today, you get a look at one of the ships in our navy." An officer finishes giving the students over the intercom as they rode up towards the fleet not far from the planet on a shuttle.

Arcane rubs his head as he tries to stay awake. 'Those droids can still hit hard.'

"Be on your best behavior. We are going to be docking in a few moments." The officer informs.

'Yay.' Arcane thinks tiredly. 'I need to find time to sleep.'

And thus time passed as Arcane grew and his training was stepped up. He was trained in piloting walkers, hover tanks, and speeders and the next year, he chooses to take the starfighter course and learning how to pilot a spaceship. As he trained, his skills grew and so to did his knowledge until he reached the sixth year of the academy.

Arcane stared at himself in the mirror as he put on his red and black military beret.

"Oh. Looks who's a handsome stallion." Terra says cheerfully as she floats through his wall.

"Aunty Terra, do you want mommy to imprison you inside a vacuum again for a few days?" Arcane asks, reminding her what Twilight did to her last time she did this.

"Hey. It's not my fault she had a plunger at the time. If she didn't, I would have gotten away." Terra tries to defend before floating over behind him. "You are pretty good looking, though."

"Yeah and only two more years in the academy." Arcane says looking to his assortment of sith items on the walls.

"Hey. You went through five years of this. I think you can handle two more." Terra tries to encourage.

"At least I didn't take up Zoids class. That might have been too much of a workload." Arcane says getting his stuff as he was nervous today for he has a new trial, a coming of age for all sith and jedi. The construction of his first true lightsaber.

Terra sighs and floats over before placing her hooves on his. "Hey now. Calm down. You are not going to be passing…whatever if you keep at it like this."

Before he could answer, the castle shook. "Terra!"

"Oh dear." Terra says turning to the door. "I better get going. Just remember Arcane, breath and think." She advises before quickly flying off.

Arcane shook his head as he headed out, getting in his speeder and activating it. "Hey bro, wait for us." Spectrum calls as she and the siblings also attending the academy now piled in.

"Of course. Get on." Arcane says sarcastically.

"So are you ready today? Azure graduates." Lightning says.

Arcane's heart skips a beat. "Yeah, wouldn't miss it. But I got some papers to turn in so I might have to skip the ceremony." Arcane says, remembering that military cadets only have a seven-year curriculum when they enter at Azure's age. 'Lucky bastard.'

"So bro, can you tell me what the second year is like and the trial we go through?" Night Shifter asks.

"Sorry. Dad told me never to tell you guys." Arcane says taking off. 'Deja vu.'

"Ah." Shifter whines.

Arcane, despite feeling envious of his older brother, couldn't help but smile as he got his diploma in full Mandalorian armor.

He sighs before walking off as the rest of the class for there's as well and heads toward the trial grounds where some droids were left behind. He shakes his head as he activities them and they start up and swing their staffs around. "Yeah…don't feel like it." He says before the droids were suddenly held in a force grip and were pulled at the limbs. "Sorry. Need something to calm down fast."

"Is that all?" Blitz asks walking down the classroom steps.

"Father?" Arcane asks.

"Are you fine Arcane?" Blitz asks as Arcane dropped the droid.

Arcane nods. "Yeah. Fine."

"Son, you don't have to lie. I can tell you are sad to see your brother and his friends go." Blitz says.

"It's not that." Arcane says waving his hoof and the droid was pulled apart.

"Don't do that to the droids. Your mother Applejack will get mad." Blitz reminds.

"Sorry. Shouldn't you be at the ceremony, congratulating big bro?" Arcane asks putting it back together.

"I will later when we are alone. I will tell him you send your congratulations and you best head to your trial as it has already started." Blitz informed.

Arcane sighs as he walks off. "Yeah."

Blitz shook his head at how spiteful his son was becoming, starting to blame others without his knowledge.

Arcane entered the room for the trial to see many had already completed it and were holding or even practicing with their lightsaber with some training droids. Arcane then surveyed the area before spotting his group of friends to the side talking and heads over there.

"Hey, guys." Arcane says looking them over.

The group turns to him and the first to reply was the one he had spotted. Jaix Boklu, a male Trandoshan sith apprentice like himself. "I see you finally showed up." Jaix says a little sarcastically as he stood over the rest of the group by a foot.

"Well, I had to deal with family." Arcane says rolling his eyes.

"Ah right. Your older brother was graduating today with the other cadets." A male rodian says.

Arcane looked to the rodian and saw it was his friend, Trif Zteeh, another fellow Sith apprentice. "Yeah. So keep it yourself." Arcane says rubbing his head before turning to, Yisar, a Miraluka male jedi padawan who he knew would combat on this.

"Someone isn't too happy today." Yisar says looking at him.

"I'm never going to hear the end of his graduation for a while. I just want to crawl into bed and hibernate." Arcane laminates as he felt a hand clasp his shoulder. Turning around, he saw his friend Dadea, a female Mirialan Sith acolyte.

"Well, maybe you should go out somewhere where they can't find you. I know a few good places." Dadea says smiling.

"If he does, he will miss out on what we are here to do." A male Shistavanen says in a refined voice as he walks up.

Arcane instantly recognized him. This was Dogun Greft, a jedi padawan and another member of his group of friends. "I think she means after. But all I feel like is a big nap." Arcane says rubbing his head still.

"No, she meant right now." A new female voice says before sighing.

"She does have that style about her." Arcane says turning to her. Arcane saw the last of his circle of friends. Nesa'vuz'pighi, a female Chiss sith acolyte. "So you all here means you all finished?" Arcane asks. They all take out their lightsabers and Arcane groans. "Fucking great." Arcane says looking to each, seeing that Nesa'vuz'pighi, Dadea, and Yisar had more of a standard design lightsaber, while Dogun had a curved handle one, and Jaix and Trif, to his surprise on the latter, brought out double bladed lightsabers.

"At least we have a mix." Arcane says rolling his eyes.

"Are you going to go and do yours next?" Nesa asks.

"Yeah. Just need to have my name be called." Arcane says shaking his head.

"No. You don't just walk into one of the rooms." Trif informs.

"I said when my name comes up." Arcane says dryly.

"They aren't calling names numskull." Trif says poking his head.

Arcane swats his hand away. "Cut it out. I have enough problems as it is."

"Then quit making excuses and get in there." Trif says.

Arcane pushes him and walks off to the assembling area. As Arcane entered the room, he saw the walls lined with either different tool, or weapons depending on where you were looking and on tables before him were materials, crystals, and parts to make a lightsaber.

He sighs as he goes around and looks over the parts before grabbing the main part and goes to a bench. 'Should be easy.' He thinks to himself as he starts to assemble.

"Oh, still one of you left?" A droid asks walking up to him.

"Yeah. Was running a little late." Arcane says starting to put the parts together.

"Ah. No matter and you are doing it wrong. You have done the most common of mistakes those who craft a lightsaber the first time do and have your emitter in the wrong way." The droid says making Arcane stop cold and put everything back.

Arcane sighs as he takes everything apart again.

"Do not threat. Everyone today has made the same mistake." The droid says as a memory played in Arcane's mind.

"You're lightsaber designer Huyang." Arcane says in realization.

"Oh, you know me?" Huyang asks as he looks closer.

"Yes, I was there when my father and stepmother brought you and other jedi onto our planet for the first time." Arcane says.

"Oh, you are Blitzkrieg's son, are you? My, how you've grown. Look at you now. Ready to take the next step become a warrior to equal your father and stepmother." Huyang compliments.

Arcane hums as starts again. "Yeah…" He says as he idly looks to the crystals now and then.

"Ah right. Back to fashioning your lightsaber. Come with me." Huyang says motioning him to a door in the back.

Arcane raises an eyebrow as he starts to follow him and leaves the parts behind.

"Time to choose your crystal." Huyang says opening the door, revealing a circular room filled with crystals.

Arcane sighs as he goes to the middle before sitting down and meditates. 'At least something is here and I can move on.' Arcane thought before he quieted his mind and reached out with the force and after what felt like hours, he felt it a crystal calling to him. "Ah. Good." He says getting up and goes to where the crystal was calling from. Upon opening his eyes he sees a yellow crystal in his view and picks it up.

"Ah. Good. Now we can really get building." Huyang says leading him out. Next is the focusing crystal. Let's see. What will you choose? A Kathracite, Relacite, Danite, mephite, or maybe Pontite?" Huyang says rummaging through the crystals on the table examining them.

Arcane raises an eyebrow as he watches him rummage through before reaching over and grabs one. "This one." He says taking it to a workbench.

"Oh, the Pontite then. Now then, hold out your hand. Describe what you see your lightsaber be, feel it with the force." Huyang says.

Arcane sighs as he walks out of the workshop and looks over his new lightsaber. 'Might change this soon.' He thinks as he looks it over and then the classroom which is now empty. "Huh. Must have gone to the common. I guess I can meet them there." He says to himself as gives a wave behind him to the droid as he walks off. "Thanks for everything."

"There goes another one." The droid says almost nostalgically.

Arcane walks down the hall as he heavily thinks on the fact that he has his own saber now. 'Maybe I should add some things. Maybe some waterproofing obviously. Shock pads. If I'm going on bounty missions, silencing would be good as well. Oh boy. There's a lot.' He thinks to himself as he enters his room.

"Help me!" Terra yells from a capsule as Twilight passes his room.

Arcane sighs before stopping and turning to her. "Mom. Let her go."

"No, she is being punished." Twilight says.

"Mom." Arcane says tiredly staring at them.

"Yes?" Twilight asks as Terra acts like a spoiled little filly.

"Let her go. Not worth it anymore." Arcane says shaking his head.

"Oh, it is when she acts worse than your baby sisters. Come on young lady. You are going to the corner. Hurricane already said so." Twilight reminds.

"Mom." Arcane says more roughly and rubbing his head.

"You can take it up with her mother Arcane and do not think you are too old that I can't bend you over my hooves and spank you." Twilight says, making Arcane shrink back.

'Sorry Terra. You are on your own.' Arcane thinks.

"No. Help me!" Terra yells as Twilight carries her off.

"I don't want any of that." Arcane says with pity for her.

The final two years passed not as quickly as the first six to Arcane, but they still passed quickly. Till it came time to take his final exams. His first was a mock battle with him and a team against some of the instructors who were besieging the fortress building. His team managed to stop them at the third layer of defenses and got an average grade.

"They are not going easy. They are taking it seriously." Arcane says sitting down as others took the exam.

"Which means we need to do the same." Dadea says.

"Looks like Mevea isn't having such a hard time." Yisar points out.

Arcane frowns as he looks to the female turian and scoffs. "Great."

"And there it is. The exam is over." Trif says and they look to the scoreboard and soon her score appeared at the top.

Arcane shakes his head. "Dammit. I'm so going to kick her ass."

Next was the armor exam. The students either chose an AT-TE or an IFT-T to run a mock battle.

Arcane frowns as he looks between the two vehicles. "Take the IFT-Ts. Let's get onto the field before them."

"Yes, sir." Yisar says jokingly as they went off to grab the vehicles and Arcane follows behind them.

"Alright. Let's go with the line formation and then we will move to either side of me and speed up." Arcane instructs.

"Yes, sir." The rest says as they get into the vehicles.

"Move out!" Arcane says into the headset after putting it on.

From there, the three tanks moved out and in the end, scored elite scores.

"Fuck yes." Dadea cheers.

"Suck it Mevea." Arcane calls.

"We still got more, but we are going to be on a roll!" Jaix says grinning.

As more of the exams came, both Arcane and Mevea kept competing trying to get better scores than the other until the final of their exams. Lightsaber combat. Both trying to out do the other, choose the most difficult option, four magnaguards.

"Well…at least you won't die." Dedra says shrugging.

Arcane scoffs as he walks over to one of the arenas with the four guards and looks around to see Mevea walking to hers before she looks over and glares, making Arcane glare back as they took out their lightsabers and Mevea activities hers while Arcane kept his off and they both stop on the inside of the arenas.

"Begin." A master calls and the droids start up and hold their staffs up as they advanced on the two.

Mevea immediately charges, going for the legs to trip them and take out their mobility as Arcane looks over the four guards, trying to see a break in the group before rushing off to the side. Both came to the respective groups before Mevea slices off one leg and Arcane moves under a staff and holds up his lightsaber, aiming between them before activating it and keeps moving, ducking under the second star and slices a bit into the chest of a guard, cutting some of the exoskeletons before swinging it and sliding away, leaving some cut marks on the first.

Mevea was working on two of the guards as she holds out her saber, intending to cut the guards as soon as she found an opening when they attacked. However, Arcane kept moving around and between the guards, deactivating and activating his saber constantly, finding the openings as the guards tried to hit him, making him cut the parts he can see, the pipes, servos and whatever he can see that looks important.

Mevea frowns as she pushes against a guard's staff, making it stagger back and into two other before she took a slice and slices into its chest, cutting the power line, making it tumble to the ground dead and holds up her saber to rest.

Arcane raises an eyebrow as he kept watching how the guards were moving and notices the stagger in them. He then holds up his hilt and waits as they slowly advanced before he moves to slide under them and the guards lower their staffs to hit him before he hits his legs onto the staff bars and jumps over them, activating his lightsaber and slices the backs of the front two cutting into the main computer line for the legs, thus making them collapse as Arcane lands behind them and slices across the backs of the other two, slicing into the main bar inside their chests, cutting off the line and power for their legs, making them fall.

Mevea growls as she keeps striking at one and blocking its attacks before pushing it away and slices its head off, but the guard kept coming, making her slice its legs and then slice into its chest as it falls, making it fall apart.

Arcane kept watching the guards on the ground were crawling now, trying to get at him with the staffs and Arcane shakes his head before jumping in between them, quickly putting his lightsaber down and jumps away. Arcane then reaches out with the force and turns on his lightsaber, slicing into one droid and the makes it spin around, slicing into the rest many times and spin back to him as he catches it and turns it off, looking to his handy work of the dead droids before looking to Mevea.

Mevea however was holding two droids before she pushes them away and gives a slight force push, making them stumble back into the third, letting her have the chance to quickly slice across their chest into two before ending up on the third who was smart and holds up its staff, blocking her a bit before Mevea kicks it's leg and sends it bending down, making Mevea have a chance and slice the other way, taking out the main core accidentally as she slices more into the chest and burns it apart before pushing it off.

"The battle is over." The master calls.

Arcane sighs in relief as he looks his lightsaber over. "Good. Barely any damage still." Arcane says looking at the scoreboard and saw an average score. Arcane hums as he looks to Mevea who was smirking at him before her score showed up and Arcane smirks as she looks devastated as she looks to the below average score. "Well…that's my cake for the day." He says grinning, walking back to the others.

"That is all for your exams." Grievous says walking up. "You all came to me pitiful, but now you may survive what is to come, but you can not do it alone. No one can do everything. As such, look around, you is not in this alone. You are the next generation. Make us proud." Grievous instructs.

"Not bad man." Nesa says smiling as she claps him on the shoulder. "You got her big time in something."

Arcane chuckles. "It's good to be the top king."

Dedra hums as she looks through her omnitool. "School scores are up. And you are…never mind." She says quickly putting her arm away before Arcane grabs her arm and looks to the screen. "I don't think you would…"

"Fuck!" Arcane yells seeing his score the same as Mevea.

"It's a tie." Trif says.

"Not good enough!" Arcane yells, obviously angry.

All of Arcane's year's force sensitive class were in a room where they had just heard the graduation speech and he smiled. He had done it. He had graduated. He would now be a true sith.

"So…who wants to get wasted?" Dedra asks smirking.

"From this point on, you are no longer students of the academy. You are officially jedi and sith. Now you will be given your new ranks and assigned to a master to learn from in the field." The professor says.

"I have a feeling our masters are going to stop us." Trif says.

"Your new rank and master will be posted where your class saw their grades posted and once more, congratulations and well done." The professor says.

Everyone starts to look as the professors left. "So who has who?" Arcane asks as he searches for his name.

"Darth Imperious? I never heard of him." Nesa says.

Arcane hums. "Don't know him either."

"I'm a Jedi consular." Dogun says finding his name.

"Holy crap." Arcane says leaning over to see.

"They put me as an Inquisitor." Nesa informs.

Arcane raises an eyebrow as he looks to her. "Who else got what?"

"Guardian." Yisar says.

"Sith Shadow." Trif says.

"Warrior." Dedra and Jaix say at the same time.

"I got the warrior." Arcane says finally finding his name again.

"I guess this is where we go our separate ways for now." Dogun says.

"Don't get into trouble like Omega's fabled Archangel." Arcane says smiling.

"Hello. I am looking for Darth Imperius." Arcane says entering a dimly lit room.

"You found him, son." Blitz says sitting up.

"You have to be kid…you rigged it, didn't you?" Arcane asks raising an eyebrow.

"We choose our apprentices. Now time to get to training." Blitz says.

Flair: And scene.

Oh, that's it for the chapter?

Flair: Yes. I highly doubt anyone wants to go through every little detail. We could finish the rebellion in that time. But if any of you have questions for us, leave them in your comments.

Well, better get back and we won't be placing everyone that was here into the main story in the next chapter.

Chapter 2 (Part 1): Reborn Again

Tek hums happily as messes around the many screens. “Completion amount of documents?”

“Seventy-five percent complete.” Eve said as many documents pass by her screen still in her robot body as Twilight was still setting up the magic in the testing lab.

“You ready to spike the ships?” Tek asks.

Eve stops the documents and moves to another screen. “Yes, let us implement the ships with the virus near the edge near the next mission your parental figure is going to.”

“He is already leaving on it. You are behind schedule.” Tek says.

Eve frowns as Tek smiles at the expressions she can make. “Correcting.” She said as a screen came up of the ship's before they see red alert lights coming from the ship windows. “Activating virus.”

“Hold on. They are fielding a two new frigates for this. Eve, help me hack them. You take one. I’ll take the other. Let's get a look at these Imperial II-class frigates.” Tek says reading the name.

Eve nods as she keeps reworking the placement of the camera and holding the virus. “Ready.”

“Looks like they kept basically the same design, just smaller in scale, interesting.” Tek says.

Eve makes a humming noise. “Scanning ship. Processing and recording files and cross referencing to databases.”

“Huh, that is how they plan to get away with this. They have pirate ships to attack and they will feign chasing said pirates with the fleet and while the navy of the turians are distracted, they will let the inquisitors go in and complete their mission while sending two companies to go in and feign answering a distress call the inquisitors send. That is our window. We will jack the ships and make them fire on the turians and they will board to stop them. The empire will disavow them and the council will accept it for now.” Tek says.

Eve nods as she goes through schematics for the ships and still the virus window was ready to activate.

“You got everything, even the commander of the fleet’s voice print?” Tek asks.

Eve nods as the files runs by his screen.

“Give it to me. I got icing for this cake.” Tek says smirking.

The files began transferring to him as Eve kept staring at her screen.

Soon the image of the commander appears on Tek’s screen. “Turian scum, we are here to reclaim rightful imperial territory. Leave at once or we shall destroy you all.” The image said as it played.

Eve looks back to him as Tek snickers at the recording. “Very authentic. I was nearly fooled.” Eve says.

Tek smiles. “I know. I'm awesome.”

Arcane kept frowning as he looks down to the ship’s floor as it exited hyperspace. “Okay…what's the problem now?” Blitz asks sharpening his dagger.

Arcane sighs. “Now it's the whole marefriend thing.”

Blitz remained quiet before finally asking. “You overheard her, didn’t you?” Blitz asks.

Arcane stops for a bit before looking at him. “Why is Auntie Terra supposed to be a choice for me?”

“I don’t know. She refuses to say. All she says it is all some sort of prophecy.” Blitz says.

Arcane frowns. “A prophecy? I'm part of a legend?”

“You know how much stock me and Twi put into prophecies?” Blitz asks.

Arcane blanches at him. “You have to be kidding me. You and mom are buying that?”

“Oh heck no. Nowadays, we don’t even pay attention to them.” Blitz says.

Arcane didn't look amused. “So what about my end?”

“She won’t share.” Blitz says.

Arcane groans. “My life became more complicated, didn't it?”

“That is life. Nothing is ever simple. I can say that from experience.” Blitz says.

Arcane shakes his head. “Life sucks. Can we stop at a restaurant for a bit? I need to be drowned.”

“Sorry. One, a mission and the inquisitors won’t wait, but I got you a present.” Blitz says.

Arcane blinks. “Present?”

Blitz smiles before bringing out what looked like a modified M-99 Saber.

“What the…?” Arcane asks taking it and looking it over.

“You asked for one remember?” Blitz asks.

Arcane smiles. “Thanks dad.” He said before looking through the scope. “This isn't my Heart’s Warming or birthday present, right?”

“No, that M-102 Sabre is just a gift.” Blitz says making Arcane’s eyes widen.

“The M-102…102…dad, that's…” Arcane tries to say.

“One of the first made.” Blitz says.

Arcane blinks. “First…”

“Yes and it’s yours son. Now get ready we are about there.” Blitz says patting his shoulder.

Arcane nods as he keeps looking it over.

“And score some kills with it, but remember that thing can pierce armor plating. It can shoot through normal tank armor.” Blitz says.

Arcane hums in agreement as he keeps almost test firing it without firing.

“Though the model has a smaller clip than the 99 so you may want to get an extended clip mod for it.” Blitz says.

“Uh huh. Yeah, sure.” Arcane said lost in the gun.

“Also remember, civilians will be in the area so don’t fire wildly.” Blitz says.

Arcane stops and looks a bit embarrassed. “Sorry.”

“As long as you know. Now where do you want to be, with the mandalorians who will be firing from above or with the sith who will engage the inquisitors?” Blitz asks.

Arcane smiles. “This is made for marksmen. Gotta go high.”

“Then you will be amongst the first to get kills. Prioritize the troopers that come to help. Me and Ahsoka will distract the inquisitors and draw the stormtroopers to us and into the trap we have prepared. Both groups will reveal themselves when I snap my fingers.” Blitz instructs.

Arcane nods. “Okay, so…where's the…?”

Blitz smiles and brings up the map of the area. “Here.” He said as a courtyard area came up with three buildings flanking each side. “You have to be in one of the buildings. Try not the roof. And…watch some of the areas. Some of it is heavily irradiated after the plant nearby got a meltdown. Idiots want to save money and instead they got more medical bills.”

“Oh, I bet the hierarchy had a field day with those responsible.” A mandalorian says.

“You don’t know the half of it.” A turian in sith armor says.

Arcane raises an eyebrow. “Shall we?”

“The turians will get you into the building with their men. The sith will remain in the space port until time to show themselves.” Blitz says going to the airlock.

Arcane nods. “Good luck dad.”

“Keep score.” Blitz says smirking as he boarded the dropship where Ahsoka was.

Arcane gives a wave to Ahsoka as she waves back. “Good luck son.” She teasingly said.

“You won’t have the children.” Kanan says out of breath looking at the sixteen inquisitors as he, Ezra, and Zeb were also out of breath standing between the babies and children and the inquisitors.

Arcane shakes his head as he walks through the halls and looks out the window at the interaction. “Set up here.” He said pointing to a room. “And here.” He said opening another door. “And this hallway for the stairs and windows.” He said ducking under the walls before opening another door. “And her…” he stops as he sees something in bed and goes wide eyed at the corpse like doe just sitting on a mattress on the ground dead. “Not this one.” He said looking sadly at it and closes the door before quickly opening the next door and rushes up to the windows. “And here.” He said setting up his gun.

“I’m not in the mood for any more games.” An inquisitor says before force pushing all three of them into the door to the spaceport.

Arcane frowns as he aims carefully. “Hold.”

The three rebels try to get up when the doors to the spaceport opened and out stepped Ahsoka and Blitz in full armor. Ahsoka, seeing them, used the force to pull the lightsabers into her hands and ignited both white blades in reverse grip. Blitz, seeing this, pulled out his lightsaber and ignited the black blade.

Arcane frowns as he sees some of the soldiers lean out. “Hold. He will give a signal. He wants to lure all the enemy to one place then destroy them so they can’t barricade themselves or take hostages.” He warns.

“Unexpected, but not unwelcome. Lord Vader will be please by the capture of both Ahsoka Tano and Southern Cross.” One of the female inquisitors says.

“You want us? Come and get us.” Ahsoka challenged.

“Rebel, best you back up with the children. Those who wish to take these children come at me. You shall not touch them while I still draw breath.” Blitz challenged unleashing his presence through the force to intimidate them at bit.

The inquisitors back up a bit as they take out their weapons and ready themselves.

“Sixteen of them against just us.” Ahsoka says.

“I know. They are completely outclassed.” Blitz insults.

“Hey! We are good enough to beat you!” One inquisitor said.

“Really? Then why did I kill the fifth brother and seventh sister so easily?” Blitz asks smirking under his helmet.

Ahsoka looks to him and fakes surprise. “Really? That far down the line? What about the four other brothers and six sisters?”

“I guess they were all pathetic incompetent cowards.” Blitz says mockingly.

The inquisitors all frown and gets into their stances now.

“Oh look, they want to play pretend.” Blitz insults.

Ahsoka shakes her head. “Seriously, just like the foals on the wooden sticks.”

“Let’s show them how outmatched they are.” Blitz says starting forward at a leisurely pace.

Ahsoka raises an eyebrow as she follows as the inquisitors back up. “Really? You want to teach them? I don't think these guys are good enough for the dunce hat.”

“What do you expect? Everything is second rate in the empire so the emperor won’t feel threatened.” Blitz says.

Ahsoka laughs. “Really? Even you are not stupid enough to do that to protect your empire.”

“Oh, so you won’t come to us huh?” Blitz says stopping before using the force to pull one of the inquisitors to him and impales him on his lightsaber.

Ahsoka points to the body. “He didn't even react.”

“Hum, like an inquisitor to merely play at being a sith. Oh well, fifteen more to go.” Blitz says pulling his lightsaber out of the corpse and use the force to claim the inquisitor’s lightsaber.

Ahsoka hums. “May I try my own trick?”

“Go ahead. I will wait.” Blitz says deactivating his lightsaber.

Ahsoka smiles as she steps forward and everyone starts backing up before Ahsoka uses the force and pulls four to her and just holds up the lightsabers and slices off three as the fourth had the mindset to block, but Ahsoka quickly stabs him. “Four down.” She calls pushing the corpse.

Blitz starts clapping as they continued to stall as much as they could be waiting for the stormtroopers to spring their trap.

Ahsoka bows to him. “Thank you. I'll be here all day. Please tip your waiter and don't be cheap.”

Blitz smirks as he sees one let out a battle cry and charges Ahsoka and engages her in one on one combat. “Oh we actually have someone with backbone. What a pleasant change.” Blitz says.

Ahsoka raises an eyebrow as she blocks each strike. “Uneven and easy to trip.” She said before pushing him and sends him on the ground.

“Still better than the last seven.” Blitz mocks as the inquisitor gets back up trying to overpower Ahsoka.

Ahsoka laughs. “Look at him. He's trying.” She said pointing to as she holds him with one blade.

“Only thing that would complete this is if their little toy soldiers showed up.” Blitz mocks.

Ahsoka hums. “You think they can take our own sabers that well?”

“No, wouldn’t change anything. It would just be adorable that they try.” Blitz insults.

Ahsoka grins. “You think they make plushies of them? I think the young ones would love beating them up with a stick.”

“Nah, give them a somewhat decent challenge.” Blitz jokes as Ahsoka deactivates her lightsabers and goes on one knee in a kneeling position.

An inquisitor sees this and charges at her before Ahsoka grabs the hilt to the inquisitor’s shock and forces it to turn off, surprising them all before pulling it away and force pushes him the nearby pillar. “Literally too easy.”

The inquisitor looks up to her and laughs as five armored transports and stormtroopers run up. “Now you are the ones beaten.” He says.

Blitz, hearing this, starts to chuckle and then laugh.

Ahsoka feigns shock and fear with a very bad performance. “Oh no, they got a hundred blasters pointed at us. The great Southern Cross and Ahsoka Tano. What are we going to do?” She dramatizes before giving them a blank stare. “I mean seriously, what are you going to do?” She asks them without feigning.

“What’s so funny?!” An inquisitor yells.

Blitz then stops and turns serious. “You foals. You are so used to having the home field advantage, you don’t even consider it. I will remind you, this is alliance territory and we will show you what we do to monsters who kidnap children.” Blitz says before snapping his fingers and the spaceport’s doors open and to all the imperials who recognized him and Kanan, Grievous walked out.

Grievous groans as he seems to be talking to someone. “Look, I don't have time right now. We'll send the exams to the testing machine. I have some work to do right now.” He said before hanging up. “Sorry, school problems.” He said as keeps walking up. “Speaking of which, students it is time for real life experience.” Grievous says and out came many wearing Sith warrior armor and a few jedi.

Blitz shrugs. “It's fine. As long as they get a real test rather than words. Now you see. This was a trap. We knew you were coming way before you arrived.” Blitz says before the Mandalorian and Turian soldiers showed themselves. “Attack!” Blitz orders and the mandalorians and turian soldiers open fire and those with lightsabers charged, Grievous included, taking out his signature four lightsabers.

Ahsoka sighs. “Now can you call them?”

“Waiting for the stormtroopers so we wouldn’t have to hunt them down and get them all at once.” Blitz says reignited his lightsaber before force choking a stormtrooper with a rocket launcher before snapping his neck.

Ahsoka hisses as the lasers start firing in response to the bullets. “Should we bother?”

“Show your kids how it is done.” Blitz says.

Ahsoka smiles and runs off into the fray with her children as Blitz smiles as an inquisitor bares his lightsaber to him. Blitz casts a sideways glance before shocking him with force lightning. He then stops a few moments later and then the inquisitor was impaled from behind through the chest by Mystic.

“Good form son.” Blitz says.

Mystic smiles and salutes before running off for more.

“The teams are holding up well.” Blitz says walking up to Grievous who just stabbed an imperial officer.

Grievous huffs. “Not even as tough as jedis.”

“It confirms our suspicions for you?” Blitz asks serious before stabbing the stormtrooper that was trapped under Grievous’ foot.

Grievous growls. “Yes.”

Blitz watch as many of the students were working in teams of three to five to take on an inquisitor. The inquisitor was hard pressed to face them. “Tell me Grievous, what was it count Dooku once said. To defeat the best of the Jedi, you must have fear, surprise, and intimidation on your side. General, what do you think?” Blitz asks.

Grievous groans. “They are just two out of three right now. Surprise is gone.”

“The initial surprise still is in effect. They have yet to realize to use their transports blasters…speaking of which. Instructors. The transports.” Blitz orders and the jedi realized what he was getting at and immediately leapt into action.

Grievous sighs in relief as he watches them blow up. “Nice to see a fiery explosion after so long.”

“Just a little longer General and you will be on the frontlines once more.” Blitz says as with the last of the transports, the stormtroopers started to panic.

Grievous huffs. “Good.”

“And this time you will lead an army of your own people and capable warriors and droids who are not as worthless as the old models thanks to the techno union remnants we recruited in secret.” Blitz says.

Grievous chuckles. “Good and it's good to be back.”

“I see you have already added a new one to your collection.” Blitz says.

Grievous looks over the new saber. “Eh, not my style. But good to show off.”

“Another for the collection.” Blitz says showing him his.

Grievous laughs. “Now you are becoming me.”

“No, the wife said she wanted souvenirs.” Blitz says smirking.

Grievous shakes his head. “Your family is crazier than me.”

“Yeah well, what can you do?” Blitz says as the imperials started to dwindle quickly.

Rael hums walking. “I need food after this.” He said casually as Grievous stabs an inquisitor coming at him from behind and makes him stops before pulling out his saber.

Blitz smirks. “There's this pretty neat diner in the nearby city. Really old school, but the food is amazing.”

Arcane frowns as he puts his gun down for a bit. “I want to try a diner.” He said more to himself hearing this chatter.

“We done here? That all of them?” Blitz asks seeing a few Stormtroopers disarmed and surrendered.

Rael nods. “Yes, just need to finish off the equipment.”

“Very well weapon master, see to it and join me and my son at the diner afterwards.” Blitz says.

Rael smiles. “Can’t wait to try it.”

“Son.” Blitz calls to Arcane.

Arcane sighs as he gets up and heads out. “Yeah?” He asks.

“Let's go get some food.” Blitz says.

Arcane smiles as he puts away his gun and knocks a stormtrooper on his head and knocks him out. “Finally. Some good space food.”

“But we ain’t at spacy’s.” Rael says.

Blitz chuckles. “Well, maybe we can try something new or rather old in this case. Besides, I kinda like malt food.”

“Mind if we four join in?” Ahsoka asks with Mystic, Ralyn, and Nemna.

Blitz smiles. “Sure. The more the merrier. Come on guys.” He said walking away.

The three follow happily having won a battle and get to spend time with their father.

Ahsoka smiles as she steps up to him. “So…finally able to really spend time together huh?”

“One last thing. Tek, how is the ships?” Blitz asks over an earpiece. “Uh huh. Uh huh. Uh huh. So the general agreed to have them if he gets one of the frigates then.” Blitz says smiling.

Arcane leans in. “Does that mean we get a new ship?”

Blitz holds up a hand with two fingers sticking up.

Arcane grins. “Cool.”

“You did what now?” Blitz asks.

They all look to him as Blitz seemed to be contemplating something.

“Execute the commander and his bridge staff saying they resisted to the end. That way no one can deny the story.” Blitz says.

Ahsoka raises an eyebrow. “The only thing that a computer has to think about.”

“That is all. Take a break soon and get some rest.” Blitz says.

Arcane smiles. “So little bro has taken a few more ships huh?”

“He and Eve hacked and shut them down during our little fight with the imperials. He then made a fake recording of the commander of the small fleet up there that basically said we are here to conquer your territory so get out and had the ship fire a few shot and the turians were ‘forced’ to board the ships to stop them.” Blitz says.

Arcane chuckles. “I excepted as much from little bro. He was a prankster.”

Blitz laughs. “Yeah and still is. Now then, I’m hankering for some classic fries. Maybe some chili on them.”

Arcane raises an eyebrow. “Isn’t that meat?”

Blitz smirks. “I can be human too son. You’ll love it so might as well become human as well.”

Arcane sighs as he shakes his head. “Oh boy.”

Ahsoka chuckles. “Why do I have a feeling those at the diner are going to have trouble serving us?”

Rael raises an eyebrow. “I don’t think that is a feeling.”

“We’re back and we got doggy bags.” Blitz calls as Arcane carries a box of cartons and bags.

Rarity smiles as she looks up from her drawings on the table and couch. “Blitz. So good to see you back again.” She said as her mane and tail got a lot more stylized.

Blitz smirks and walks over and kisses her. “So…want to eat?” He asks after separating.

Rarity nods. “I would love to with you.”

Blitz chuckles. “Alright.” He said before stopping. “Where's Terran? He usually comes barreling at me.”

Rarity sighs. “He's gone with Fleetfoot. Said they had to visit somepony.”

Blitz smiles sadly. “Arcane, take the food to the dining room. I'll join in a bit. And it is for everyone.” He said walking away.

Arcane looked embarrassed. “Dad.” He said walking to the dining hall.

“Oh, wait up. I really want to try such an old style gourmet.” Rarity said packing her things and following.

“That was…that was…” A young Fleetfoot said breathless as she laid on the ground next to a Timberwolf.

The Timberwolf growls and licks her cheek as it wraps a leg around her and pulls her close.

Young Fleetfoot giggles and rests up against him. “I think I…I love you.” She said kissing his wooden shoulder.

The Timberwolf just looks down at her as he tries to cover her up as best he could.

Fleetfoot sniffs as she remembers that moment and keeps looking to the grave at the new rebuilt town. “I miss him.”

Terran growls concerned and nuzzles her side.

Fleetfoot sniffs and pats his head. “Thanks for being here.” She said smiling a bit.

Terran pants happily and keeps nuzzling her.

Fleetfoot giggles a bit before feeling a wing wrap around her and looks to see Blitz right by her and smiling. “I'm sure he missed you too.” He said smiling.

Fleetfoot sniffs and wipes her face with a hoof. “I just hope I can see him again. Say goodbye maybe.” She said trying to keep smiling.

Blitz smiles and nuzzles her. “It's okay. Wherever he is, I’m sure he's proud of you and I think Terran would like to meet him too, right?” He asks looking over.

Terran whines and nods before panting and nuzzling her side.

Fleetfoot sniffs and hugs them both. “I love you guys. So much.” She said holding them close.

Blitz chuckles and hugs her back. “Love you too Fleet. Now then…” He stops and looks back to the slightly futuristic town where there was many species of the planet and space were walking around. “Let's see your home and get you some rest.”

Fleetfoot nods and gets pulled along with him. “I love you guys.” She said making sure she was still holding onto them.

Blitz smiles and nuzzles her mane. “We know. Now let us enjoy some time together here.” He said opening the door of Fleetfoot’s rebuilt home. Fleetfoot smiles as she sees the pristine state of her home. “Welcome home.” He said pulling her inside.

“Hey Jax? What do we do with a missing ID again?” An agent at the front desk asks.

Jax, the turian security guard, leans around the corner and sees a scientist fumbling with her hands like the Quarians do. “Fingerprint, eye scan, the works and if it checks out, give her a new one.”

“Right.” The agent says working on making sure the scientist was who she said she was.

“Didja hear about what the quarians asked us to help them with?” Jax asks.

The agent shakes his head. “Man, I'm here most of the time. I don't hear gossip like that. So what is it?”

“Apparently someone attacked their colony and later the same people or someone else vaporized it. I hear all that was left was a crater.” Jax says.

The agent raises an eyebrow. “Oh? And what are they asking us for?”

“They want multiple people checking the data to determine anything.” Jax says.

The agent groans. “I'll see what I can do after this.” He said before checking the last few data entries. “Alright, checks out.” He said making another ID card. “Here. Don't lose this one.” He said giving it to her.

The scientist nods and rushes inside before the main lobby door opens. “Welcome to the Xerox Station. How can I help you?” The agent asks looking over the information without looking up.

“Yeah, where's the locked levels?” The person asks.

The agent chuckles. “Very funny man. Very funny. Now what are you…” He stops as he looks up and sees a cloaked person standing and can't even see the face.

The cloaked person tilts the head. “I see you are looking up the base being destroyed. Surprise, you found your culprit.” The person said before taking out an aged old weapon that the agent recognized as a fifty caliber pistol before he gets knocked backed from the shot and rolls away with a hole in his head.

“Hey!” Jax yelled as he rushes around the corner with a rifle and tries to fire before being shot in the shoulder and looks to see another cloaked person with a smaller pistol and still old gun right next to the first before being shot in the head.

“Get the doors open. We got to get this done fast.” The first said before looking to a camera in the corner of the ceiling and chuckles before shooting it as well.

“And that's that. They took out every single camera from there on in.” Tek said showing the footage to Blitz.

“I see. The turians get this?” Blitz asks.

Tek nods. “Yep and boy are they furious.”

“I bet those who did this are not happy we know about them now and every attempt to cover it up is making them more known.” Blitz says.

Tek raises an eyebrow. “Did you see how that one reacted? He put on a show before shooting the camera. I think they want to be known.”

“You are right. They want to draw attention away from the attack on the settlement and onto them.” Blitz says.

Tek hums. “Such a weird way to draw attention somewhere.”

“They obviously didn’t expect anyone to stumble onto their erasing. I bet they pulled this one out of nowhere at the last moment.” Blitz says.

Tek sighs. “So what do we do?”

“We are the only others who got the data so guess who will be targeted next.” Blitz says.

Tek raises an eyebrow. “Us?”

“Exactly and we will prepare.” Blitz says.

Tek looks a bit confused. “How? They attacked a random station. That seems a bit random.”

“No, they knew exactly where the data was.” Blitz says.

Tek blinks. “Those researching it.” He realized.

“Exactly.” Blitz says as Minerva walks in.

“I was wondering where you were. Come on. It's time to have a few updates.” Minerva said moving over to Tek.

“Mom.” Tek says as Blitz smiles and hugs her.

Minerva chuckles and leans into the hug. “What's that for?”

“I thought you could use a hug. As from looking down here, the foal is hungrily nursing off you.” Blitz says.

Minerva smiles and looks down to the bundle she is carrying. “Yeah, hungry like you at dinner.” She said smirking.

“How is he?” Blitz asks.

Minerva sighs. “Wanting to know more. Just like Tek at this age.”

“You made sure to seal the systems so we don’t have a repeat right?” Blitz asks.

Minerva nods. “Can't let them go back down into the extranet again. Thank goodness something came out of it and I have a pseudo daughter.”

“With your other daughter.” Blitz says.

Minerva giggles. “Yes, my whole line of kids, ready to help out with tech things. Heck, my birth daughter wants to be like you.”

“Define like me.” Blitz says.

Minerva shrugs. “Oh, dressing like you back then. Trying out your skills. She did watch the videos of you fighting too.”

“The video with the bolt that bounced off several things before it hit that bounty in the back?” Blitz asks.

Minerva smiles. “The one and the same.”

“You still can’t believe I shot him in the back.” Blitz says smirking as Tek pulls up the file.

Tek hums. “It says here you also bounced off a metal head of someone sipping tea…and he didn't even react.”

“Only quip I can think of would be too cheesy.” Blitz says.

Tek points to the screen. “It says here he didn't know whether to take the cheese or ignore it after the battle.”

“Ah, that is cute.” Minerva says.

Tek looks up to her confused. “What?”

“You making quips.” Minerva says holding her son.

Tek tried to push her away. “Mom.” He whines.

“Ah, what is the matter?” Minerva asks nuzzling him.

Tek keeps trying to push her away. “Mom, that's not cool.”

Blitz smiles walking away as Minerva kisses her son’s cheek.

Tek yells out as he keeps trying to get away.

“Kanan, are you sure about this?” Ezra asks touching down on the planet.

Kanan nods. “Yeah. We have to talk to these guys or we could be bogged down.”

“You also want to see the jedi who survived huh?” Ezra asks.

Kanan chuckles and nods. “Yeah, want to really see who survived this long.”

“Kanan.” Ahsoka calls as they all walked out.

Kanan grins and follows her. “Coming.”

“I see you accepted the invitation to join us here.” Ahsoka says as all but Kanan stare at the ponies that were passing them by.

Kanan blinks at the sight of the ponies smiling and waving. “Um…?”

“Meet the natives. Around thirty years ago, they didn’t even know about life beyond their planet.” Ahsoka says before signally them to wave back.

Ezra and Kanan try to wave back as the ponies shrug at the newcomers and just go on their merry way.

“So three different types. The earth ponies are just like regular quadrupedal creatures they tend to be stronger than other two types. The unicorns have horns coming out of their foreheads and can use some sort of power like the force, but it isn’t. Then there is the pegasus, the ones with wings and usually smaller than the rest.” Ahsoka says.

“Don't tempt me.” A passing pegasus said gliding by.

“Watch it Glider.” Ahsoka says before turning back to the group.

They were just standing dumbfounded.

“Now shall we go to where you wish to go?” Ahsoka asks.

They still stare surprised at everything.

“Come on, the speeder is waiting.” Ahsoka says.

They tried to follow as some of the ponies were getting a bit confused at the staring.

As the speeder took off, the rebels saw that the two togruta from the fight with the imperial forces were riding with them. “Ok, let me introduce you. These are my children, Ralyn and Nemna.” Ahsoka says.

Both of the togruta smiles and wave. “Hi.” They both said.

“Kids?” Kanan asks.

“Yeah, I am married as well.” Ahsoka says.

“Married?” Almost all of them asks.

Ahsoka nods. “Yep. Really loved the guy.”

“Daddy’s the best.” Ralyn cheered.

Ahsoka laughs. “And where's daddy now?”

“Over at home. He's helping mommy Twilight with some papers.” Nemna said.

“I see so…Ralyn you can ease off the throttle a bit.” Ahsoka says.

Ralyn chuckles and looks embarrassed. “Sorry.” He said letting up.

Ahsoka pats his back. “It's okay. Now then, what the heck did we miss since the diner?”

Nemna hums. “Well, we had a big takeout dinner. Don't worry, we have a lot leftover. And then there's…”

“Sister.” Ralyn said sharply to her.

“What?” Nemna asks smiling.

Ralyn frowns. “Daddy said not to tell.”

“Ah, ok.” Nemna says.

“So does this mean you won’t come back to the order?” Kanan asks.

Ahsoka sighs. “I knew this question was going to be asked. Well…it's complicated really.”

“But, would you?” Kanan asks.

“Truth be told; the order is all but gone. It would need to be reformed and that means reevaluating all our rules and teachings.” Ahsoka says.

Kanan raises an eyebrow. “And if it does come back?”

“Then…maybe if a few rules are changed. For now, it is a long way off. Besides, I am training my kids.” Ahsoka says.

“Got that right.” The two say together.

“Besides, these two are my joy.” Ahsoka says hugging them.

Nemna smirks. “So we aren't your pride?”

“No, pride is not as important.” Ahsoka says.

“Mom.” They said.

“Remember what your father taught you. Pride before the fall.” Ahsoka says.

Nemna waves her off. “Nah.”

“Do I have to tell your father young lady?” Ahsoka asks making her pail a bit.

“No.” She squeaks.

“Good girl.” Ahsoka says smiling.

Nemna breathes a sigh of relief.

“Mom, we are here at the underground city entrance.” Ralyn says.

Ahsoka sighs. “Alright. Now be prepared for any surprises.” She said to the others.

“Underground?” Ezra asks.

“Best way to hide them so the empire’s probes cannot find them. Let me tell you, they kept sending them for years.” Ahsoka says.

“And shot out of the sky every time. Or what Ridley kept saying.” A woman wearing a blue bodysuit said passing by with some boxes. “Hi there. Are you new jedis and/or students?”

“Hi Samus. Still not finding anything on the job list?” Ahsoka asks.

“Nope. The contracts are pretty low considering these guys take it all.” Samus said pointing to the school.

“There is still the offering for a job in the mandalorian clan.” Ahsoka says.

Samus sighs. “And you know I can't. Considering.”

“The chief would accept you.” Ahsoka reminds.

Samus shakes her head. “I would rather live unaffiliated. Makes it easier to run.”

“You can’t run forever.” Ahsoka says.

Samus sighs. “Unfortunately. Still, it's better living. Plus, I don't have to be dragged in and can do it my own way without limitations.”

“So off to see Ridley before you head out?” Ahsoka asks.

Samus nods. “Yep. Just came to grab a few boxes. If you're looking for the master, he's down in his office.” She said before walking away.

“Master?” Ezra asks.

Ahsoka nods. “Yes, he's the one running this place.” She said heading inside. “Come on guys. Don't want to stay out.”

The group followed until they came to a small meditation chamber where a jedi was meditating with his hood up and back to the door.

“Master Koth, we have guests.” Ahsoka says.

Koth brings his head up and looks to the doorway. “Ah. Welcome younglings.”

“Master.” Kanan says recognizing not as Koth but as Eeth.

“Do I know…wait, you are Caleb Dume. You were the padawan of Depa Billaba.” Eeth says recognizing him.

Kanan blinks. “Huh. That is correct. Did any of the other masters make it?”

“We haven’t been able to find any others. Those we found were already dead.” Eeth says sounding sad.

Ahsoka groans as she rubs her head. “Dang it. So more even when I'm looking. There has to be more leads.”

Eeth perks up a bit. “Oh, a griffon said you would be coming by. Drop this off for you.” He said tossing a data chip to her.

“Aw, good lil Blazer.” Ahsoka says smiling and catching it.

“Blazer?” Ezra asks.

“Yeah, the griffon. If he sent this, then…master Kota might be dead.” Ahsoka says.

Eeth sighs. “Looks like it. Maybe we should set up a bigger memorial.”

“But master Shaak Ti is on Felucia.” Ahsoka says.

Eeth chuckles. “And I think she would hate it if we put her name up on the wall a bit too early.”

“Master.” Ahsoka says.

“Yes, I will go immediately.” Eeth says.

“But master, at least take backup…take my children.” Ahsoka says.

“Mom?” Ralyn asks confused.

“Are you sure?” Eeth asks.

“Yes, take them with you on this.” Ahsoka says.

“Um…mom?” Nemna asks.

“You two will protect him right?” Ahsoka asks.

They both sigh. “Sure.” They said.

“Also you two, time to stop procrastinating. It is time to complete your first hand made lightsabers.” Ahsoka says.

They both smile and grin at each other. “Alright, finally.” They both cheered.

“I will have the quartermaster supply the pieces for you to choose from and your crystals.” Ahsoka says.

They both hug each other as they jump around. “Yahoo!” They kept cheering.

“I hear children cheering and they are a part of my family!” Mary yells opening the door.

“Mary. It is good to see you.” Ahsoka says nervously.

Mary smirks. “Ah, the crazy ass jedi who would rather go in head first rather than think just like my son.” Ahsoka didn’t say anything and motioned her not to talk about such things in front of the six visitors looking at Mary now. Mary sighs and gives a wave and sweet smile. “Hello kids. I'm Mary. Bad ass fighter and strategist.” She said cheerfully.

“I will get out of your way. It is good to see you again Caleb and nice to meet your padawan Ezra.” Eeth says leaving with Ahsoka’s children.

Ahsoka smiles and waves to her children. “Bye guys. Have fun.”

“So how are we supposed to choose?” Ralyn asks.

“Sit and meditate. Let the force guide you.” Eeth says.

Nemna hums as she looks to the parts. “Hmmm…”

Ralyn looks to the master sitting on a pillow as he meditates. Ralyn looks from end to end before he sits in the middle of the room and starts meditating.

Nemna groans and sits by him. “Dang it.” She said meditating.

Ralyn breathes deeply with eyes closed before reaching out with the force and Eeth watches as parts start to shake and start to move from the table and containers.

Eeth smiles as he sees the parts start to form together. ‘Thank goodness your father has taught you the parts and how they go. I hate to blow this place up and pay for it like last time.’ Eeth thinks as a green crystal floats from the table of crystals and forms the center. Soon all the parts formed into one and the lightsaber floated to Ralyn.

Ralyn opened his eyes to grabs the lightsaber in front of him and ignites the blade away from him, revealing the green blade.

Nemna frowns as she tries to quicken her pace. ‘Dang it bro.’

“Do not rush sister. This isn’t a race.” Ralyn reminds deactivating his.

Nemna sighs and concentrates and before long, the same happened for her and when she ignited hers, her blade was yellow.

Eeth smiles. “Not bad. Now you have your own. Treat it like family.”

“Didn’t mom’s master lose or get his destroyed every other mission?” Ralyn jokes.

Nemna chuckles. “I think it's twice that.”

The two sibling share a laugh as Eeth facepalms as he recalls that.

“And that is the rep…” Darth Vader stops and looks to the side as the emperor waits.

“Something amiss?” The emperor asks gravelly.

“I feel as though someone is talking about me and it is close to home.” Vader says cryptically, actually confusing the emperor.

Blitz hums as he looks over the reports of the station. “Now it's no trace there. Who are these guys?”

“Hey hun.” Ahsoka says walking in.

Blitz smiles and slams the screen down. “Hey Ahsoka. Need something?”

“Well you know what happened to our kids?” Ahsoka asks walking up to him.

Blitz raises an eyebrow. “Is this about the jealous surge I felt when they were down in the parts room?”

“Well we have a report of master Shaak Ti and they are going with master Eeth to look for her on Felucia.” Ahsoka says sitting on his lap.

Blitz smiles as he leans back in his seat. “Oh, our kids going off on a mission without their parents or family member. What a nice start.”

“Yes and now, time for somepony to go to bed with me as I have waited my turn patiently.” Ahsoka says.

Blitz chuckles. “You going to tell me the order you girls have?”

“You wish we would.” Ahsoka says.

“It has been more than twenty years.” Blitz says.

Ahsoka smirks. “Yep, so…got a bed nearby?”

“Teleportation.” Blitz says smirking.

Ahsoka pokes his forehead. “Let's go.”

“So this is Felucia.” Ralyn says getting off the ship.

Nemna raises an eyebrow as she looks around. “Huh, really forest like. Eh, we have worse.”

“Remember what the wild life is like around here.” Ralyn says.

Nemna points to the sky. “Remember ours?”

“Yes, I do.” Ralyn says.

“Come on you two, time to go.” Eeth says.

They both sigh as they follow. “So where exactly is the master?” Nemna asks.

“We don’t know, but we know she is here.” Eeth says.

“So what does she look like?” Ralyn asks.

“Think your mother but a little older.” Eeth says.

They both look to each other a bit confused.

“She is of your species.” Eeth says getting an oh face from them.

“That makes sense. Since mom can be a pony at times.” Ralyn said.

“So where do we look?” Nemna asks.

“According to the info, there should be a village that a way.” Eeth says pointing in a direction.

Ralyn smiles and walks that way. “Let's go.”

“Be careful, the locals and the empire might not be friendly.” Eeth says.

Nemna smiles and follows him. “Please, they haven't seen us.”

“Yet.” Ralyn says looking at her.

“Oh one time.” Nemna says.

Eeth groans as he rubs his forehead. ‘Why did I get stuck here with them again?’

Ralyn grins. “You think we should mess with a small patrol if we see one?”

“Not unless they are stormtroopers.” Eeth says.

Nemna chuckles. “Maybe just leave a small trap. Like a tripwire.”

“You brought bombs?” Ralyn asks.

Nemna grins. “Nah, just a wire. A very strong wire.” She said holding up a roll.

Ralyn just stares at her.

Nemna looks a bit confused. “What? Big bro and sis helped out finding one for me. Big sis Sunshine said it's cool to trip up others sometimes.”

Ralyn looks to master Eeth.

Eeth shrugs. “I try to keep out of family.”

“Let's go and put that away.” Ralyn says.

Nemna pouts and puts it away. “Dang it.”

“Wait, you sense that?” Ralyn asks.

Nemna raises an eyebrow. “Sense what?” She asks trying to find it.

“I sense the dark side.” Ralyn says.

Both Eeth and Nemna both look to him worried before trying to sense it themselves. “It's close.” Nemna said.

Soon out of the foliage, come creatures with what looks like glowing blue lines on their skin. “Who are they?” Nemna asks.

“Locals and they are what is giving off the feeling.” Eeth says taking out his green lightsaber.

Nemna tilts her head. “These guys are giving off the dark side? Seriously?”

“Nemna, stop talking and start fighting.” Ralyn says igniting his green saber.

Nemna huffs and brings out her yellow saber. “Fine. Let's go.”

One of the local lets out a war cry and charges them. Ralyn seem to be the one it chose to attack and as it made a slice before Ralyn slashed upwards and took off the arm with the weapon attached to it.

Nemna frowns as she moves her body to the side and narrowly misses a strike from the staff like blade of her own attacker before slicing her saber and goes through the arm connecting to the blade and through the waist before it fell in half.

“So you have a staff huh?” Ralyn asks force pushing one of the creatures away.

Eeth raises an eyebrow at one as he keeps slicing through one. “They are tough. Almost like a tree.”

“I’m glad there is only a few.” Ralyn says before using force telekinesis to start shooting loose stones at another.

Nemna raises an eyebrow at another coming at her before using the force on the wire she had and starts manipulating it to make it move fast and slice through the next one.

“You alright master Eeth?” Ralyn asks.

Eeth chuckles. “You kidding, I needed to get out one day. It's bad being cooped up.”

“So these natives were corrupted by the dark side. Could the one we are looking for have gone to that side?” Ralyn asks.

Eeth hums. “Maybe. Maybe not. There are a few masters in history who have held out in dark areas.”

“Should we continue looking then?” Nemna asks.

Eeth nods. “Yes. We must save innocents and masters that are in need…only those that deserve it of course.” He quickly adds as he starts walking around a sliced body.

“Master Eeth, what should we expect?” Nemna asks.

Eeth looks around. “Wildlife. Creatures such as those we just faced. And maybe some sith searching for the same thing we are.”

“I thought that we dealt the empire’s inquisitors a blow after that last operation?” Ralyn asks.

Eeth looks to them. “When there are two or ten, there are bound to be more on the horizon.”

The two said nothing else as they continued onwards moving through the trees with the aid of the force before stopping spotting a military outpost.

Eeth looks closely and sees some stormtroopers in sight. “Well…this is one of the trouble we will obviously see.”

Ralyn takes out his macrobinoculars to get a better look. “It looks like they are on alert.”

“That's impossible. We haven't been to this area yet.” Nemna said.

“Remember what we encountered before? I bet they are no friends of the empire.” Eeth says.

Ralyn hums. “So what do we do now?”

“Try and bypass them. The less evidence, we leave the better.” Eeth says.

They both nod as they move through the tree line and try to stay out of sight. As the three moved along, Ralyn suddenly sensed something behind them and swung around and shoot force lightning at what he sensed.

A body suddenly flew out from behind the bushes and hits a tree before it got back up just as fast and they saw a man with cloth wrapped around his arms and waist while having a half of a cloak around his legs and carrying a blue saber in a reverse grip.

“You were right.” Ralyn says igniting his lightsaber like his sister.

Nemna frowns. “Who is this one?”

“I don’t know sis, but he is obviously not one of us.” Ralyn says.

Eeth frowns as he watches it all. “State your name and master.”

“Where is the senator?” The man asks.

They all frown at that. “Oh, you go to the next planet over and take a right into the volcanic lava pit and he's waiting inside.” Rylan said shrugging.

“Cute.” The man says before unleashing force lightning and Ralyn answered with his own.

The man goes wide eyed as he cuts the lightning. “More sith?” He said frowning as he readies his lightsaber.

“Same to you buddy.” Nemna says just itching to get the guy who attacked her little brother.

Eeth hums. “You seem to hate the sith, why?”

“Must be one of Vader or the emperor's puppets, maybe even cut loose.” Ralyn says.

The man growls under his breath at that.

“Oh, you hit a nerve little brother.” Nemna says as Eeth realizes they were trying to rile him up to make him sloppy.

Eeth sighs. ‘These are definitely the master’s children.’ Eeth thinks as the two children start moving around the man so at least one was in his blind spot.

The man frowns as he tries to keep them in view. “Now who do you follow?”

“We follow our father. That is all you need to know.” Nemna says as Eeth ignited his lightsaber, dividing his focus between all three.

The man huffs. “A Sith Lord I presume?”

“Maybe this one can be of help. I doubt he has love for the empire from what we have heard.” Eeth says putting his lightsaber away.

The twins look to him surprised. “Master, he could be trouble.” Nemna said.

“We are looking for a jedi. Shaak Ti.” Eeth says.

“Master.” Ralyn almost hissed.

The man looked slightly alarmed at Eeth and is hesitant to say anything.

Eeth raises an eyebrow. “Let me guess, saving?”

“Shaak Ti is dead.” The man finally says with a little guilt.

“How would you know that?” Ralyn asks.

The man glares to him. “Killed her.”

The two teens tensed hearing that and were ready to strike, but Eeth signals them to back down before a bull rancor attacked.

They all jumped away and look to it as the rancor tries to swipe at them. “Great, we’ll hold off on killing you until this one is dead.” Ralyn said pointing to the man before jumping away as a new Zabrak female tried to grab him.

As the zabrak tried to get Ralyn, Nemna got another one of those native coming after her and tried to jump away on the other way as well. All the while, Eeth shakes his head. ‘Unbelievable.’

“Who is this?” Ralyn asks.

“Don’t know, but the dark side is coming from her.” Eeth says as the Zabrak’s eyes widen as if she recognized him.

Ralyn frowns. “Want me to kill her?”

“Master Eeth?” The female asks as the mysterious man fought the bull rancor.

“You know her?!” The twins called.

“Do I know you?” Eeth asks.

The siblings faceplant at that as he got the clueless look on his face again.

“Not personally. I am Maris Brood. I was trained on the Gray Pilgrim during the clone wars. I later became master Shaak Ti’s padawan when she found me.” Maris says.

Eeth hums. “And the dark side?”

“It’s this place and master Shaak Ti abandoned me here.” Maris says.

“She’s dead.” Eeth says.

Maris clenches her hands together. “She was supposed to make it out.”

“Do you have a senator?” Eeth asks.

“Yes, he is my prisoner.” Maris says.

Eeth nods. “Care to let him go in my care?”

“But what if the sith lord Vader comes for me?” Maris says, fear in her voice.

“My dear, it won’t be Vader who they will send, but his subordinates and they won’t care for any hostages.” Eeth says.

Nemna frowns as she keeps watching the man and rancor fight. “Master?” She asks with the voice that said ‘Hurry up.’

“Come with us to be where the other jedi are.” Eeth offers.

Maris frowns as she tries to contemplate this. “Are you sure it's safe?”

Eeth smiles. “It kept me alive.”

“…very well.” Maris says.

“And the senator?” Nemna asks.

Maris looks to her. “I can take you to him.”

“Bring him here quickly. We will keep this one occupied then we leave the planet.” Eeth says.

Maris nods and runs off as the man stabs the rancor in the head before jumping off and charges up some lightning and shoots it into his now planted lightsaber before stopping and pulling the saber back into his hands with the force and watches it fall. “Simple.” He said turning back to the rest.

“Master?” Nemna asks.

Eeth frowns. “What are you here for?”

“I am here for the senator.” The man says.

“Then take him.” Eeth says as Maris returned with him.

“Master?!” The siblings ask shocked.

“We leave here on these terms before the stormtroopers arrive.” Eeth says.

The siblings stayed shocked as the man grabbed the senator and walks away with him without another word. “Why did you do that? He could have been useful.” Ralyn asks turning off his lightsaber.

“Actually he's more useful out then stuck with us in an underground building.” Eeth said calling in the airship.

“I shudder to think what mom and dad will say.” Nemna says.

Blitz snores as he rested in his chair. “Fluffy bad bunnies. Take that.” He said sleepily and throws a knife at the wall that hits a picture of Fluttershy holding Angel and hits Angel in the head.

“Aw, aren’t you cute.” Ahsoka says petting his head.

Blitz snorts in his sleep. “I just went five times. Let me sleep you swinger of light.”

Ahsoka smiles as she picks him up and heads for his room. “You really shouldn’t pull so many all-nighters anymore.” Ahsoka says holding his pony form.

Blitz squirms a bit. “Papers. Papers everywhere. Kill it with fire!” He calls out before putting his hooves down and snoring again.

Ahsoka smiles and pets her husband as she enters the room.

Arcane stared at the ceiling as he laid down on a couch in the lobby of the academy. “Okay, why so moopy?” Sunshine asks coming into his view.

Arcane sighs. “Well…how much trouble did you get with your coltfriend?”

Sunshine tilts her head around. “So and so. There were a lot of destroyed walls. On top of the fact that dad seems to really eye my coltfriend really hard. Like, ‘You better take this academy and pass or you will not be with my daughter’ eye.” She mimics Blitz.

“Seriously bro, you've been mooping since you got back. What's the problem?” Azure asks leaning over the couch.

Arcane frowns slightly. “Try imagining that you are destined to be with one of your aunts by some weird prophecy.”

Sunshine hums as she holds a hoof to her chin. “Nope. Don't feel anything.”

“You're a mare.” Arcane said deadpan.

Azure sighs. “Now I see. So…this is after trying to figure out how to get a mare…right?” Arcane only nods. “Well…guess it's time to help you find a mare until we figure it out.”

“I am not getting a placeholder marefriend.” Arcane declares as he sits up.

Azure chuckles nervously. “Think of it not as placeholder, but as…” He tried to come up with a word.

“Placeholder. It's a placeholder.” Blazer said walking up to them. “Take me seriously, I am a walking dictionary.”

“I thought that was auntie Sweetie Belle.” Sunshine said.

Arcane smiles. “Hey bro. What are you doing here? Looking for Diamond to pop the question?”

Blazer chuckles. “Nah. I got the way, but I'm waiting for a bit. Looking for the right time. And…there is a festival coming up soon, so I might do it there.”

Sunshine giggles. “What did you get her? A big rock?”

Blazer rolls his eyes. “Please. As if I'm going to spend my time on a giant diamond and make her head bigger. Nope, it's just a band. But it's a good one.”

Arcane sighs. “Well good luck. You might need it considering her history.”

Blazer smirks. “Spending time with me, she learned a thing or two…maybe more. I'm not worried.”

Azure rolls his eyes. “So…got any top secret missions for us?”

Blazer playfully points a claw at him. “Watch it. Dad told me not to give you any officially yet. Besides, you need to pay up still.”

Azure tries to look innocent at him. “I'm going to pay you soon. I'm just waiting on my last bounty.”

“You already got it.” Blazer argued and Azure looks to his account.

“Huh, what do you know?” Azure asks shocked a bit. Blazer rubs his claws together in a gimme motion. Azure rolls his eyes and transfers it. “There. Happy?” He asks annoyed.

Blazer smiles a bit. “Yes. Now don't skimp. I may be family, but I got a business to run as well.”

Sunshine smiles. “How did you start out again?”

Blazer groans. “Don't remind me of the old days. My talons are still cramping over the paperwork. Sometimes I just want to take a flamethrower and burn those hard drives to bits.”

Arcane chuckles. “Funny thing is dad still has to deal with so much paperwork as well. Both paper and digital.”

Blazer smiles. “Well that's one thing I'm glad we have a likeness of. The hatred of paperwork.”

Sunshine smiles. “I can give you my flamethrower.”

They all look to her questionably. “How do you have a flamethrower sis?” Azure asks.

Sunshine smiles all the while. “Mom gave it to me for cooking.”

They tried to figure that part out. “Auntie Pinkie gave you a you know what? I'm not going to question on anything related to your side sis.” Blazer said.

Sunshine giggles. “And you better keep to that buster. Including you two!” She said pointing at them with a hoof.

“Yes ma’am.” They both said quickly.

Sunshine snickers. “And that is why I am the best po…” She stops as the detector goes off at the security entrance. “Oh. What's going on?” She asks leaning over to see with the rest.

They see a cloaked person standing inside as a security guard checks him over and they see the cloak is like what the new trainees wear sometimes. “Huh. Maybe it's the lightsaber.” Azure thought out loud as the security guard seems to be trying to move the cloak, but the guy keeps moving back a bit from the grab. “Or maybe not.” He said taking out his new gun as he changes into his human form.

Almost everyone in the lobby watches it all happen as the cloaked person kept moving away from the grab and the other guards start to come closer. The cloaked person then stops before putting its arms down and leaning its head down. “Do it.” They heard and immediately duck as it sounded bad and…they we're right.

BOOM

Everyone near the janitorial closet was thrown aside from the blast as fire and rock exploded everywhere while the cloaked figure ran back out and sets off the detector again while another hooded figure followed along.

“Come back here!” Arcane yells as he runs off.

“Arcane! Wait up!” Sunshine yells holding her hammer above her head that she somehow got.

“Wait for me!” Azure yells running after them.

“Oh for the love of…wait up!” Blazer yells flying after them out the door.

“What's going on here?” Twilight demands as she rubs her eyes and comes out of the nearby resting area and walks up to Blitz looking at a video of a drone watching the chase.

“Yeah. I was going to make a big cake, but these stupid alarms messed up my measurements.” Pinkie said angrily as she walks into the office.

Blitz kept frowning as he brings up another screen of the station attack and compared the two figures. “It's one of them at least. But the other…just street clothes. Not bad of a cover.” He said as the two mares look at what he was watching.

Twilight tilts her head. “What happened?”

Blitz sighs. “These two blew up the academy lobby. Luckily, most weren't that much hurt, but now our children are chasing after them.”

Pinkie leans closer and gasps. “Woo hoo! Go Sunshine!” She cheers.

Blitz shakes his head a bit. “I better get the Zoids ready.” He said placing a call.

The two cloaked and sweatshirt wearing figures ran out of the building and then heads down the street as they pass by the many ponies and species that came to the planet, while keeping an eye behind them.

“These guys are fast.” Arcane said flying in the air as quick as he can with the others.

“Man, look at them go.” Azure said keeping up with the use of his vampiric powers.

Sunshine keeps bouncing along at the same speed. “Yeah, like high speed ninjas.”

Blazer frowns. “Sunshine, time to put your mother’s techniques to good use.”

“Yes sir!” Sunshine said saluting before hopping behind a building and then appearing ahead of the two. “Gotcha!” She yells getting ready to swing her hammer.

The cloaked figure slid under her swing and reaches a hand up before lightly touching her chest and then slides away and keeps running.

The boys ran past her frozen figure as they look at her and see her drop like a statue on her head. “Sunshine’s down!” Arcane calls.

“My baby!” Pinkie yells and runs off and goes through a wall and makes the shape of her in it.

“Did she have to use the wall?!” Twilight yells as Blitz keeps watching.

“All forces…don’t let them leave alive.” Blitz orders.

Blazer looks up the loudspeaker at that. “Dad will certainly get everyone on this. They can't make it out at this point.” He said as they now travel through the main street of Ponyville.

Arcane frowns. “And yet the way they are going…it certainly tells something. They attacked the academy and yet they aren't attacking the town or anyone else.”

Azure scoffs. “Then they are going for something else. Maybe…what else is important?”

Blitz gets up out of his chair and head for where the data was kept.

Twilight looks to him slightly shocked. “Where are you going?”

“Where they are heading.” Blitz says opening the hidden elevator.

Twilight stops and points with her mouth open. “You have to place some in the castle.” She finally said.

“You coming Twi?” Blitz asks.

Twilight quickly does a roadrunner and quickly stands by his side and the elevator takes off.

“Seriously?! Where?!” Azure asks his unanswered question.

Arcane frowns as he looks ahead and tries to see their path and remember the layout of the area and sees the path they are taking. “Can't be. Dad only told Tek and Eve to head here all the time.” He said as a low bunker came up with a military base right by it. “We got two tangos coming in. One in street gang clothes, another a cloak. Take them out!” Arcane calls into his omnitool on a radio frequency and the military base starts to shoot on the two as they start to dodge around.

“Damn, they are agile.” Blazer said watching their movements.

The two figures start to swerve back and forth between each other before they hold up a hand and they see something between their fingers before they throw their hands forward and separate for a bit before the door blasts open and they jump in through it. On the other side, they stop, seeing an entire hall filled with sentry turrets with laser line, mines, and three durasteel doors blocking their way. “Well that is not fair at all.”

“I’m sorry. We don’t give a fuck.” A pre-recorded message plays.

The two look to each other as the cloaked one was making a motion with his arm as he tries to speak, but couldn't say anything and waves it off. “You got the chip?”

The hooded person holds up a small drive before going to a panel and opens rips it open before taking out a connector and connects the drive. “Now let's hope he can figure it out.” A female said from the hooded person.

They then see a mouse raspberry them before a countdown started and laser sights started pointing at them.

The cloaked figure shakes his head as he looks to himself and all the lasers. “You know; this is the fifth time I have been in this. It still doesn't get old for me.” He said chuckling a bit.

The hooded girl sighs. “Why do you make jokes? I mean, we got thirty seconds.” She said throwing her arm at the large screen.

The cloaked figure chuckles. “And now we will walk out.” He said walking away.

The hooded girl looks to him in shocked under her darkened face. “Are you kidding? We just came here.” She said following him.

The cloaked figure turns to her. “Oh please. Remember our first time, that shadow man?”

The hooded girl tilts her head. “Oh yeah. That was some plan you pulled off.”

The cloaked figure chuckles. “Yeah, but I didn't tell, because it wouldn't have been as badass.”

“Ok, I think I got it.” The hooded one says before flamethrower, lightning, and spike traps added to the defenses.

The cloaked man just turns his head at her. “Sorry.” She said.

The cloaked man shakes his head. “Hold on.” He said reaching into his cloak and she can hear the beeping. “Okay. He's on it. I'm not letting you handle the hacking next time. Specialist, you are not.” He said as lights blinks on the drive they had that is still connected to the panel.

“Ok, I have by passed th…I got spiked!?” They hear over their comms.

The cloaked man shakes his head. “You have to be kidding. Wasn't the Mariana trench hacked into a long time ago?” He asks as the laser were now trained on his head.

“I was spiked. How did that happen?” They hear over the comms with the best panel sparking behind her.

The hooded girl looks to the panel. “Got a plan?”

The cloaked man sighs. “I hate cheating. Come on.” He said grabbing her gloved hand and drags her behind a pillar as the boys run in and see them heading behind one.

“Hey! Get back here!” Arcane yells and rushes after them and looks behind the pillar and sees nothing. “What the heck?!” He yells looking around it.

Azure blinks. “Where the heck did they go?”

Both the two come out from behind a server and stop at the sight of Blitz standing in the middle of the room of servers as liquid nitrogen fell from the ceiling in mist over the servers and kept some parts of the ground frozen.

“Hello good sir. Mind if we use your servers for our personal gain?” The cloaked figure asked in a heavy accent.

“I have been expecting you both.” Blitz says as a gas unseen and heard starts leaking in.

The hooded girl looks around as the cloaked man claps his hand together. “Well of course you have. We made an appointment, but…we knew you would never let us in. Considering the fact that you can make things unseen float by our heads at times. Like this wire.” He said taking out some school scissors and cuts the line above him.

“Check your feet.” Blitz says as their feet started to turn to stone.

They look down and the girl taps her foot before nodding. “Stone.” She said before they look at him and the cloaked man starts chuckling.

“Yes, yes, turn to stone while I ah, that is what you are hiding.” Blitz says.

The cloaked man keeps chuckling before stopping and smiles under his hood. “You are an idiot. You really thought we were trying to hack into the security itself? If we could get in here the whole time like this, why didn't we do this when we got into the academy? Heck, why the chase?” He asks now walking forward as if his feet weren't like stone. “Besides, you have kept your attention on us and not on the drive we left connected.” He said smirking and Blitz can see his teeth which was in a strange shape like the middle was closer than the sides.

“You mean the one in a close circuit? By the way, what do you call this species?” Blitz asks.

The cloaked man chuckles. “Like I would tell. Now how about my friend?”

“I would think you would ask about your kidney.” Blitz says confusing him.

The cloaked man scratches his head with a gloved hand. “Kidne…fuck this.” He said walking back to where he was and leans against a server. “Look, you can't hurt me. No matter how hard you try.”

“I might not, but…” Blitz says before the guy feels his leg missing.

The guy looks down and sighs. “Not again. I just…dang it.” He said moving his stumped leg behind the server. “Still a nice dog. He's cute at times.”

“Yep.” Blitz says before the guy feels immense pain where a kidney should be.

The guy groans as he puts an arm where his kidneys are. “Damn. Teleportation huh? Not bad. I'm kinda of the hands on type.”

“Oh no. I reached in and crushed it with telekinesis.” Blitz says taking a drink before he felt pain again.

The guy groans. “Second?”

“Think that one wasn’t me. It is an angry mother.” Blitz says taking another drink as his partner was a stone statue now.

The guy chuckles a bit more and sighs. “Well. At least we got it.” He said putting his cut leg down from behind the server and it was back to normal. “It's done and uh…you lost.” He said before snapping his fingers and a blinding flash was made and both of them disappeared.

“Nope, we won. You did integrate the bio homing beacon only changelings can detect?” Blitz asks.

Twilight nods as she comes out from behind a server. “Done. But…they just went back into the lobby and both of them are moving.”

“They still want to distract us from these guys. Terran hunt and kill.” Blitz says.

Terran barks and runs off.

“Fuck! I hate that!” The girl yells as she shakes herself.

The guy sighs. “Yes, it is bad. At least we got it. Now we just have to make a hasty retreat.” He said before a throat clearing was heard. He looks and sees the three guys left behind in the lobby. “Oh. Hi guys.” He said waving.

The girl just grabs his collar and pulls. “Can we just get out of here?”

The man nods before waving and flicking a ball at them before it explodes into smoke and they run off with the guys after them again. “This is ridiculous.” Azure said getting his rifle.

“Yeah and dad already transmitted the data to the Quarians and Turians. You lost before we began.” Blazer taunts.

The guy looks to him. “Did he now? So they are on a public system first before going private. It's strange though. Maybe we should have shut down the satellites instead of hacking it. And don't say anything about a secret one, we hack every single com there is.” He said as they start to run on the rooftops.

“Come in.” A voice says static heard over the communicators.

The girl sighs. “You got the, in his words, epic escape ready?”

“We were tricked. The data was not there anymore.” The voice says.

The guy frowns. “Then it needs to be fixed to plan B. They will find and they will lose. Get us out of here and drop the contract.”

“It's already there. I'll get the contract up and running just for them.” The voice said as the two jump near the fountain of the town and stop as they look to every single soldier, jedi, and sith looking at them with weapons at the ready.

“Oh crap.” The woman says.

Azure frowns as he comes forward a bit and points his gun. “It's over.”

The guy tilts his head. “Hey, you modded my gun. Awesome man. And Blazer, keep training. Those swords were made, but not by your father. So…good luck. Oh and if you see little Terran, tell to not try and eat the watch.” He said as he holds his hand up with the woman as she zips up her hoodie and tightens her hood around her face. “It's been fun.” He said before they quickly got sweat up and away and they see get into an airship that picked them up and fly away as they went inside it.

“We made it.” The woman says before hearing a growl behind them.

The guy sighs. “Yeah. That's what I thought.” He said turning around to see Terran and walks to him before whispering in its ear and steps back and aside before Terran jumps out without another growl. “I swear. I hate dimension hoppers. Always ruin our day. But…now we have to really get involved. They had to stick their noses. Idiots.” He said taking a seat.

“He also stole your pants.” The woman says covering her eyes.

The man chuckles as he wraps the cloak around him a bit. “Please. You were begging for it off last night. You and the other girls.”

“Also a big hole in the back of your cloak.”

The man looks behind and growls. “At least this is my ‘Suspicious Cloak That Is Not Meant To Be Use In Public’ version. Thank goodness he didn't get after my good one. Though…that one seemed prepared. Not the academy, but the data site. He was able to stop our hack and no one can do that since…damn. They got her out. Well…we can activate some protocols on her if we have to.” He said grabbing a towel and covering up the hole.

“You ok Sunshine?” Blitz asks.

Sunshine stretches a bit. “Oh yeah. That was awesome. Can I do it again?” She asks smiling widely.

“Don’t worry me like that.” Blitz says holding his daughter.

Sunshine giggles. “Dad, it was cool. In fact, I think he hit my central nerve somehow. Only my coltfriend can do that.”

Blitz twitched hearing that term.

Sunshine keeps giggling until she looks to the door. “Mileia!” She calls out as a zebra walks in looking a bit worried. “Hey. I'm fine. But that guy used the same trick you use.”

“So this is your coltfriend.” Blitz says.

Sunshine nods. “Yeppers. A bit more fun, but lovable all the same. Right hun?” She said smiling widely as Blitz was looking through his coat.

Mileia gulps with Blitz predatory like eyes on him.

Sunshine laughs and hugs Mileia. “He's handsome, instead he dad?”

“Um Sunshine…is this your father?” Mileia asks.

Sunshine nods. “Yeah. My most badass father that can kill others just by looking at them with laser eyes. Better then sharks even.” She said hugging him tighter.

Mileia gulps at that as he tries to look away from the hard gaze.

Sunshine giggles. “Don't worry. He won't kill you because then I'll be sad and he’ll have to deal with mom and auntie Maud.” She said acting moopy in the middle and then happy again.

“Speaking of your aunt, is she here with Sunny?” Blitz asks.

Sunshine nods. “Yeah. She's with mom cooking with the rocks she brought. Oh, I need to get Discord and Sombra the penguin to our dinner. I need to go.” She said getting on Mileia’s back. “Let's go my coltfriend.” She said pointing forward and out.

Blitz gulps and heads for the kitchen. Entering the kitchen, he found Maud there with only Sunny.

Sunny looks to him and smiles as he smiles and reaches for him while laughing. “Hi daddy. Can we play? Momma wouldn't let me get close yet.”

Blitz smiles and picks up his son. “Nice to see you again Maud.” Blitz says.

Maud looks to him blankly. “Hello. My son has been wanting to see you for a long time. At least this attack gave us a chance.” She said still deadpan in her usual voice.

“So where is he and teaching your nephew how to cook?” Blitz asks.

Maud nods. “My sister has told me to help teach her foals. At least he will be able to cook anything. Rock soup?” She asks holding up a bowl of hot water and rocks.

“I’ll wait till dinner. This whole thing and my daughter being hurt has killed my appetite. So how is your husband?” Blitz asks.

Maud throws the bowl up and behind her. “Trying to make me laugh. He's having more success with our foal.” She said as the bowl’s contents land in the boiling pot and the bowl in the sink. “Just more success. Not full.”

“I can tell you are happy at least.” Blitz says as Sunny rode atop his head.

Maud hums. “And she was hit with a nerve attack. A nerve release and it will be like you just had a massage.”

“Yeah, I just wish I could say those…you know what I would say to those who are in custody or dead right now.” Blitz says stopping himself from cursing in front of Sunny.

Sunny leans over his head to look at him. “Say what dad?”

“Not for your ears little one.” Maud says ruffling his mane.

Blitz sighs. “So…cooking and visiting?”

“Yes…I’m not going to castrate you.” Maud jokes.

Blitz smiles a bit. “Good. I was worried…always. Now then, I'll leave you to it. I need to check up on things.” He said putting Sunny down.

“Alright. Sunny, you mind being aunt's little helper?” Maud asks.

Sunny nods and salutes. “Yes ma’am.” He said jumping into the counter.

“He’s a lot like you.” Blitz says.

Maud looks to his smiling face. “None whatsoever.”

“You can’t see it? I see it clearly.” Blitz says before leaving.

Maud tilts her head Sunny gains that blank face of hers. “Food?” He asks blandly as Maud nods and they get back to cooking.

“Please tell me that drive has something on them.” Blitz asks rubbing his head as Tek and Eve look over everything they left behind.

Tek sighs. “It's just a kill program, but…not for the security. Looks like it was going for the files, but we sent it already and there is no connection to the system. And…now we know why they were trying to kill the data.” He said before a picture of a screen grab of an old footage of the base with some large thin creature holding a crude laser rifle and another with a ballistic style gun that was wearing some tattered rags and chains around it to hold the clothes together as it stood on legs like a bird’s. “They were trying to protect us. Not kill us. This thing…is the only one that attacked the base and it left barely a scratch like they told us.”

“I have found no files on this matter other than those.” Eve said a bit away as she works on her own.

“Unknown species huh?” Blitz says looking at it closely.

Tek nods. “If they were trying to stop us from knowing about, it's probably a good reason for it.”

“Maybe they didn’t want us distracted from the task of the empire. By the way, nice job delivering the files to the Turians and Quarians.” Blitz says patting Eve.

Eve looks to him. “Nice is not the word. I have lost over a thousand packets of data while sending it. I have not done a nice job.”

Tek grins as he looks over. “It still got to them. So it is a nice job. Stop looking to a hundred percent here.”

“We were also right to have to go to see the representatives before giving them the data personally.” Blitz says.

Eve blinks. “It's so…illogical…still.”

“Also it is time Eve. Twilight is waiting for you.” Blitz says.

Eve looks up to him as Tek wraps a hoof around her and pulls her along. “You're going to be happy Eve.” He said leaning his head on her.

“Now I best go take a shower.” Blitz says.

Eve blinks and looks to Tek. “Do I need to shower with you once I am part organic?”

“Yes.” Tek says.

Eve tilts her head. “Strange customs. The usual here is to be alone in some places.”

“Rarity, your back.” Blitz says hugging her.

Rarity giggles as he lightly hugs him back as she had a lot of bags with her. “Hello dear.” She said nuzzling him as her mane was now behind her mostly and wearing some earrings and necklace. “What did I miss?”

“Yes, have a good fashion tour in Asari space?” Blitz asks.

Rarity chuckles. “They know how to accessorize but it's still pony clothes mostly. I am working on full size clothes for other species. Thank goodness for Blazer giving me some ‘market’ tips.”

Blitz smirks before kissing her. “So have you seen the foals yet?” Blitz asks.

Rarity smiles. “No. I had to drop most of my stuff first and these are very valuable items.”

“I know you are.” Blitz teases.

Rarity smirks. “Please. You know I would visit them first. Now then, where is everypony?”

“Getting ready for dinner.” A male voice says.

Rarity gasps and rushes over to the voice. “Luminous!” She calls and hugs the stallion in a dress suit.

“Hello mother, have a nice trip?” Luminous asks in a refined tone.

Rarity laughs and keeps hugging him. “Aw, such a good boy. I've taught you well.”

“So going to go see your daughter and younger son?” Blitz asks.

Rarity clears her throat. “Yes. Where are they?”

“So still not into our preteen daughter’s style?” Blitz asks.

Rarity frowns. “That outfit is scandalous and may get her into more trouble than normal.”

“Well what can you do? It's her taste.” Blitz says petting her back.

Rarity huffs. “Where are they?”

“Your daughter is fixing her hair I think and our younger son…is he still taking a nap?” Blitz asks looking at Luminous.

Luminous nods. “Yes. He's been resting all day.”

“Oh. Where is he sleeping?” Rarity asks.

“Entertainment room nine on the couch with a pillow, blanket, and his stuffed animal lion. Rockette tucked him in.” Luminous says

Rarity smiles. “I'll go him see him later. First…” She said before walking off.

“Chances she is going to see her daughter?” Blitz asks.

Luminous smiles. “Small. But the first is still here.”

“Young lady!” Rarity yells slamming open the door.

Rockette sighs and looks to her mother in the mirror. “Yes mom?” She asks like the thousandth time as she wore some fishnets and a short skirt while having black hoof polish on and some black eyeliner. “What's the complaint on my outfit now?” She asks trying to fix some of her makeup.

“What can’t I say about your outfit?” Rarity asks before Rockette pulled out her blaster pistol and checks it.

Rockette hums. “Let me guess…it's such a short skirt that any stallion would be on my back in just minutes?” She asks checking the charge pack.

“Well at least you are wearing stockings and short shorts underneath.” Rarity huffed.

Rockette looks to her. “Who says this is short shorts? I am wearing panties.”

Rarity, hearing this, seems to be just frustrated.

Rockette sighs. “Take a chill pill. I'm about to head out anyway and I just put little bro to bed. Now let me have fun.” She said sliding a new energy packet in her blaster.

“We are about to have dinner. Stick around for that.” Rarity says.

Rockette groans. “I can find some dinner on my own. Besides, I'm not planning to eat rocks today.”

“Come on Rockette. At least stick around. Your little sister just got back from her survival training and hunting in zebra lands.” Blitz says.

Rockette frowns. “Fine.” She said getting up. “Let's go.” She said walking past her.

Blitz smiles and pets Rarity.

Rarity sighs. “How many times has she went out to clubs and bars?”

“With Vinyl?” Blitz asks.

Rarity shakes her head. “No, alone.”

“None, she is still underage.” Blitz says.

Rarity glares slightly to him. “Look at her and she's already showing off panties since the last time I saw her. What? Is her hormone count high?!” She hissed.

“Love.” Blitz says before sending her a video of Rockette smacking around stallions that got too fresh.

Rarity stops. “Oh. Well that's fine but show her a better way.”

“At least she wears that. Many of us don't even wear clothes.” Blitz reminds.

Rarity looks to her nude self. “Well…it's appropriate with the ones you love.”

Blitz smiles as he leans onto her and smiles. “You have been gone too long. Your foals have missed you, even Rockette.”

Rarity smiles and nuzzles him. “I love you.”

“And your foals?” Blitz asks returning the favor.

Rarity giggles. “Them too. Now let's go eat.”

“What about your other daughter and napping son?” Blitz asks smirking.

Rarity smirks. “Carry some food to them if they don't show. I really want to be together again. It's been too long. Now come on.” She said pulling him along.

“No. You come on. We are at least going to see your napping son.” Blitz says pulling her.

Rarity giggles and leans against you. “Love you my prince.”

Blitz smirks before petting her flank a bit before they head to where their son is.

“He is sleeping soundly.” Blitz says.

Rarity smiles as she lightly pets his head as he snores and curls up more. “Such a sweet boy.”

“Ok Rarity, wake him up.” Blitz says.

Rarity nods and shakes him a bit. “Huh, wha…” He mumbles as he opens his eyes. “Mommy.” He said sleepily.

“Have a nice nap my little one?” Rarity asks lifting the pegasus colt.

He yawns and tries to smile. “Such a good dream.”

“This isn’t a dream sweetheart.” Rarity says before kissing his forehead.

He smiles. “Mommy.” He said hugging her.

“Yes my little one.” Rarity says smiling.

He keeps nuzzling her and hugging her tightly. “Mommy.”

“Come on you. Time for dinner.” Blitz says giving him his stuffed lion.

He smiles and hugs it tightly. “Thanks daddy.”

“Alright. Come on, it’s time to eat.” A female voice says from the door.

The colt gasps. “Sis!” He cheers and holds out his hooves as a younger mare walks in and takes him out of Rarity’s hooves and hugs him. “Didja catch anything? Didja?”

“I did.” The mare says smiling before looking at Rarity. “Hi mom.”

Rarity smiles. “Hello dearie. How are you?”

“Fine. I am glad your back.” She says hugging Rarity.

Rarity giggles and hugs her back. “I'm glad you're okay Lilly.”

“Kill anything worth bragging about?” Blitz asks.

Lilly hums. “Nah. Just the usual.”

“I see.” Blitz says ruffling her hair a bit.

Lilly pushes his hoof away. “Let's go. I'm hungry and so is he.” She said poking the colt’s stomach and make him laugh.

“Oh Cyclone, did Rockette tuck you in?” Rarity asks.

Cyclone nods. “Yeah. She got me in real tight and I couldn't move because it was so comfy.”

“Rockette loves her little brother and sister Rarerare.” Blitz says.

Rarity hits his side. “Shut up.”

“Mother, can I ask for your help?” Lilly asks.

Rarity smiles to her. “Anything dear.”

“I want to make some cameo for my hunting gear. Could you help?” Lily asks.

Rarity smiles. “I would be glad to. But first, let's eat.” She said as Cyclone’s stomach growls.

Blitz chuckles and leads them out. “Let's go. I'm sure everyone’s hungry.”

Blitz smiles as he awoke and stretches. “Honestly, this is too comfy so please don't move.” Shadow said snuggling into his chest.

“Oh, my shadow captain clingy today?” Blitz asks.

Shadow smirks. “Nah, it's your clone on my other end who keeps rubbing my flank.” She said as another Blitz was sleeping away while stroking her flank. “Still comfy.”

Blitz looks unhappy and the clone disappears. “My shadow.” Blitz says.

Shadow giggles. “Yes. I'm your mare and you can do whatever you want to me.”

“Don’t the foals need attention?” Blitz asks before nibbling her ear.

Shadow moans. “That feels so good.”

“So mommy, don’t you have some foals you want to see?” Blitz asks.

Shadow moans and looks to him. “One last spank?”

“You’re insatiable.” Blitz says.

Shadow smirks. “Am I a little sluty?”

“Never.” Blitz says.

Shadow smiles and kisses him before pulling away and getting out of bed. “Okay, I'll go get my kids and get some breakfast.”

“You know what today is right?” Blitz asks smirking.

Shadow looks to him. “What?”

“Flight training. Your second youngest is finally old enough and he is looking forward to it.” Blitz says.

Shadow grins. “All right. Let's get his big life started.”

“You going to do him like you did me while learning to fly?” Blitz teases.

Shadow giggles. “Nah. That was you. But…the last part maybe. We all still have the vision and nopony can figure it out. Now then, I suggest you get cleaned up and get ready. I got a son to teach.”

“A son and daughter to keep drilling as well.” Blitz adds.

Shadow shakes her head as she gets up and leaves.

“Keep shaking that sexy flank.” Blitz says.

Shadow smiles and gives an extra shake at times. “You're a horny stallion.”

“And you are my beloved wife.” Blitz says getting up.

Shadow smiles and heads out as Blitz got cleaned up and heads out to his office and calls up a number before it answered. “Spike my brother. Got anything from our friend/enemies’ escape?”

Spike sighs. “We got the ship they were leaving in…and it's…old.” He said bringing up the footage of their escape and Blitz sees them jump into hyperspace after just one second past the line of ships around the planet.

“Let them go for now. Focus on gathering info on those they were covering for.” Blitz instructs.

Spike raises an eyebrow. “You think they would try and hired those things to attack a base? And I can't shake the feeling they are familiar in movements. I mean…that ship…it's familiar in some way.”

“Look into it, but prioritize the ones they were hiding for now…in fact, assign Arcane to the missions involving them.” Blitz instructs.

Spike gives him an ‘Are you serious’ look. “Really? Doesn't he have a lot on his plate for now?” He said as he takes a seat and Blitz sees the others just relaxing in the background.

“It’s time he started getting more mission. I know for a fact you have been sidelining him.” Blitz says sternly.

Spike snorts some smoke out of his nose. “He asked me for dating advice. I say get his head into the game before we throw him out. Get Terra on him. If he has stray thoughts on the missions I have lined up, he will fall and not the way you want it to really be.”

“I plan to. Now my orders stand.” Blitz says.

Spike sighs. “Fine. I'll get the missions unlocked for him and have it private. At least he passed with flying colors.” He said smirking a bit. “School wise, he's good. Social…must be though for an alicorn.”

“And his mother.” Blitz says.

Spike clicks his tongue. “Been a long time every time. You tend to miss a lot. Heck, I missed one heck of a chase.”

“Maybe it's better if you weren't here. Can't lose a good commander.” Blitz shaking his head.

Spike chuckles. “We know who's the better one here.”

“Also a new order.” Blitz says.

Spike raises an eyebrow. “Yes?”

“Get your flank down here and see Twilight. The same for the girls and their families.” Blitz says.

Spike stares at him before laughing a bit. “Okay. Yes sir.” He said giving a mock salute. “I'll see what I can do. While you have a school to run. Though it would be weird if I'm force sensitive.”

“You’re not. If you were, we would all be in deep trouble.” Blitz says.

Spike frowns. “Hey, one time I blew everything in a fleet to just a single plate of metal.”

“My point stands.” Blitz says.

Spike snorts. “At least I got under control. Well I'll see you planetside. Maybe we can play some good old fashioned board games.”

“Before or after you are buried?” Blitz jokes.

Spike rolls his eyes. “Hey, I was able to finish my whole library of games. Cut me slack. Besides…it's kinda boring up here. I need someone else to play with and those five are predictable.” He said pointing behind him.

“We heard that.” They said.

“I mean by the foals wanting to see their uncle.” Blitz says.

Spike smiles a bit. “Oh those lovable oafs. Getting cuter or handsomer every time. I guess I just have to take it head on. They have been wanting to see their uncle for some time.”

“You seen what Rockette looks like now?” Blitz asks.

Spike raises an eyebrow as he twiddles his claws and a photo of her came up. “I don't know why, but I find that a good look. But I bet Rarity is going crazy over it.”

“Oh yeah. Quite a change from the pigtails she used to have.” Blitz says.

Spike chuckles an old photo came up of her actually in a cute dress. “Oh yeah. Kinda weird at times. She made this big of change and it's so surreal. She's either a punk or a goth.”

“Punk.” Blitz says.

Spike shrugs. “At least she's living a life. This will pass.”

“Well I am not so sure about that, but at least Rarity isn’t going on about how hunting is unlady like to Lilly.” Blitz says.

Spike smiles. “That's because she sees a good job and lots of bits. Can hold out Lilly for a long time too.”

“She just finished survival training in zebra lands.” Blitz says.

Spike chuckles. “Not bad. Speaking of zebras, saw Sunshine’s coltfriend. You must be steaming mad.”

“I have not killed yet.” Blitz says.

Spike grins. “Oh yeah. This is going to be a fun father and future son-in-law confrontation.”

“Also Blazer is about ready to ask Diamond.” Blitz says.

Spike smiles. “Good bird. Been too long for them. Maybe we’ll see it when we come down.”

“Maybe.” Blitz says before someone ended the call. “Was that necessary Applejack?”

Applejack frowns. “Yes. And you still need to help with the future wedding arrangements.”

“I thought we had ours.” Blitz teases seeing the foal sleeping on her back.

Applejack just bonks his head with a hoof.

“Is mommy a little cranky?” Blitz asks.

Applejack holds up a frying pan now.

“Shh he's sleeping.” Blitz says petting his son.

Applejack rolls her eyes and watches him pet their sleeping son who snores in his sleep. “At least he is precious.”

“Like you.” Blitz says.

Applejack hits his side while still watching their son. “I wish we can stay like this forever.”

“You remember when I sent you Blazer?” Blitz asks.

Applejack smiles. “And you gave me my first son.”

“And how many daughters and sons?” Blitz asks.

Applejack smiles wider. “Two sons. One daughter.”

“And who just arranged it to where Apple Bloom will be coming for a visit?” Blitz asks.

Applejack grins to him. “Really Blitz?”

“I twisted Spike’s claw.” Blitz says.

Applejack raises an eyebrow at that.

“Being in charge has its perks.” Blitz says before rubbing against her side.

Applejack keeps an eyebrow raised. “And Spike is the stubbornest dragon I know.”

“Yet he cannot refuse an order so…what do you want to do country mare?” Blitz asks rubbing her shoulders.

Applejack sighs in relief. “How about breakfast and we’ll see where that goes?”

“Alright.” Blitz says leading her.

Chapter 2 (Part 2): Break Heart

Spike's tail twitches as he kept everything about him calm. "Girls." He tries to say calmly.

They all grin. "Spikey." Sweetie said.

Spike opens his mouth before a forkful of chocolate cake was put into his mouth. "Eat up. I'll handle this." Slender said coming onto the screen and pushes Spike away with a plate. "Are you girls okay?" She asks concerned as Ridley was loading a dart gun in the background.

"The tranqs?" Scootaloo asks.

Slender looks behind her. "Ridley, you can put that away now. I'll make sure the girls are on the first shuttle back with an armed guard too."

"Yeah…our nephews and niece rescued us." Apple Bloom says.

Slender hums. "Must have stumbled onto you. We actually had no idea where you are. Guess this investigation is more connected than we thought."

"They had us mining and seemed confused by our appearance." Sweetie Bell says.

Spike leans in. "Let's be honest, most contacts out there in space are walking on two legs." He said before stuffing more cake into his mouth. "How did they get you out?" He asks with his mouth full.

"We kinda busted out of the mine when we rioted and they came in when we encountered armed resistance." Scootaloo said.

Spike raises an eyebrow as he stopped chewing. "You busted out?"

"Yep." Sweetie Belle says.

Spike blinks. "Tell me about it when I have you three with me."

"Will do…also, we might want to contact the krogan and the other members of the council." Scootaloo says pausing in the middle.

Spike hums. "I'll let Twilight and Blitz handle the big parts. Just give me time. How big of a pickup are we talking here?"

"Another Corvette or two if they continue with the assignment they have been given." Apple Bloom says.

Spike snaps his claws behind him and Ridley walks off. "Okay then. Let's see about getting you girls home…and maybe the other prisoners too." He said before taking a big bite. "I'll save some cake." He said with his mouth full.

All three wave before the line is cut. "Okay…well…that was a fun time." Scootaloo said as they walk out toward the ramp where some were standing guard and others were being healed up.

Sweetie bumps into her side. "Shut up. It was Tartarus. At least we got most of them out alive."

Apple Bloom smiles. "And we are getting in good graces with this. So you have to admit, those aliens helped out in some way."

"Besides target practice for our niece and nephews?" Scootaloo asks.

Apple Bloom bumps her side. "Quiet down Scoots. We're safe, they're safe, and we got whatever they had to boot. What's better?"

"The fact we will be sleeping on real beds soon." Scootaloo says.

Sweetie shrugs. "Or in Spike's circle again."

"Tell me you got something Tek and Eve." Arcane says after waiting for twenty-four hours.

Tek hums as he looks over the data. "Well…truth be told…it's almost still gibberish. I said almost." He said noticing the frown. "What we got, for now, is literally data on any species that they have encountered. Mostly what we are like."

"Can you tell me where their main base is then?" Arcane asks.

Tek hums. "Seems to me it's close by where you attacked the mining base. Somewhere on a cold moon. I'll get precise coordinates when you are ready to head out again."

"Guys, suit up. We have the coordinates of their main base." Arcane says.

Tek sighs. "I'll have it by the time you are going to get onto the ship." He said walking back to Eve.

"Pack plenty of ammo and everything." Arcane adds over the communicator.

Tek rolls his eyes as Eve stood before a screen as Arcane walks away. "Are you okay?" He asks carefully.

Eve looks to him. "A block has been removed."

"And here I just thought you were staring at my flank." Tek asks jokingly.

Eve blinks. "The Three Months War is a dark one. Bigger than the Reaper War itself."

"Really?" Tek asks interestedly.

Eve nods. "It not only decided the fate of the galaxy, but also the universe itself. But the only reason it was kept out of all the forms of information was to protect the species of humans themselves."

Tek tilts his head as he wraps a hoof around her. "Any reason why?"

Eve blinks. "They wipe every memory bank there is, including biological. Why cut out a memory of this victory as when humanity has reached and saved at this scale? It could have sent the human race to a higher level among all alien species."

"To not let a single victory go to their heads." Blitz said walking in. "Sometimes it's the many trials among a journey that make a person or a race in this case. Not a single one-shot victory."

Eve looks to him. "Is it right to do this to a single race?"

"No, unless you are a god, you don't have the right to." Tek says.

Eve tilts her head as she thought about it. "They might be. Entries tell that they became gods or something akin to them at the end of the war."

Blitz raises an eyebrow. "Oh? What were they like?"

Eve tilts her head. "One soldier's entry described one as a cocky loudmouth bastard with sharp teeth."

Blitz gains a deadpan look at that. "Yeah. I know who you are talking about now."

Tek looks confused. "Is this about those guys you met on the contract? Because he seemed like a cocky loudmouth bastard."

"And doesn't know when to shut his mouth. I almost killed him when he talked about my family." Blitz says.

Tek hums. "Maybe he's trying to rile you up for something."

"Well two thing are for sure, he is someone's bitch and he needs to replace most of the parts for his mech as I crushed a lot of internal stuff." Blitz said.

Tek shrugs. "If they can do all this, I'm sure replacing is not hard for them."

"It's more of a statement than anything. Lets him know I can hurt him without them knowing it." Blitz says patting Eve.

Eve barely reacts as she kept looking over the information.

"So…are you going to have an official wedding or a private one?" Blitz asks.

Tek smiles. "I'm hoping for a public, but…if she wants to do it privately, I can live with it."

"What about you my daughter in law?" Blitz asks.

Eve slowly looks to him. "Is there any benefit to the choices?"

"Yes. So have you told Min…" Blitz stops as he was tackled.

Tek grins. "She has been waiting for a while now."

"Hi, dear." Blitz greets.

Minerva giggles. "Hi, honey and foremost partner in life. Are you okay?" She asks looking him over.

"You did tackle me." Blitz says.

Minerva stops and looks embarrassed. "Heh, heh. Sorry." She said chuckling nervously.

"Now let me up and tell me any plans for this?" Blitz asks.

Minerva sighs as she gets off of him and he gets back up. "I'm planning for both choices. Just need to the choice to be made by our bride and groom first before I start."

"Oh let them take the time to choose. They are young." Blitz says holding her.

Minerva hums and leans against him. "Remember when you were young?"

"Yeah. Everything seemed so urgent. So much seemed to need to do so quickly." Blitz says petting her as the bundle on her back stirred.

Minerva smiles and looks to her back. "Well…it's still the same."

"Who is napping on your back?" Blitz asks.

Minerva rolls her eyes and bumps against his side. "It's your little filly stallion. Our daughter." She said as the bundle yawns and sits up and rubs her eyes.

"Hey, how is my four year old?" Blitz asks.

The filly looks to him before yawning cutely again.

"Come on Selly. You got anything to say to your dad?" Blitz asks.

Selly giggles and grabs onto his nose. "Da."

"That is right." Blitz says petting her.

Selly giggles and bites onto his nose.

"Hey, now Selly, no biting your dad." Minerva says trying to get her off.

Selly coos as she kept a nice grip on his nose and made him squeak. "Da." She cheers muffled.

"Ok Selly, stop trying to play mom and dad." Tek say making her giggle.

"But it is fun." Selly says.

Blitz pokes her stomach. "You little trickster."

Selly sticks her tongue out before Blitz raspberries her stomach.

Selly giggles and tries to push him away. "Daddy." She said giggling.

"You have a good nap?" Blitz asks.

Selly nods. "Yep. A very good one."

"Will you give your dad a real hug now?" Blitz asks.

Selly laughs and jumps off of Minerva and hugs Blitz. "I love you, daddy."

"Daddy loves you too." Blitz says hugging her back as Minerva raspberries Selly's back.

Selly giggles and turns to her. "Mommy."

"Yes?" Minerva asks.

Selly pokes her nose. "You're a mean pony."

Minerva gasped over dramatically. "Did you hear that?"

Blitz nods. "I think somepony needs a virus check. Want to do the honors?" He asks smirking.

"You're right. It is time for her check up." Minerva says getting her daughter and making her regret her choice of words.

Selly quickly shakes her hooves. "Wait, no. I didn't mean it." She pleaded.

"Don't worry. Your big brother will examine you." Minerva says.

Selly looks pleadingly to Tek. "Big bro, please!"

"He isn't going to give you a shot." Tek says.

Selly screams dramatically. "Help me! I'm going to be probed!"

"Seems she has her mother's passion for acting." Blitz whispers to Tek.

Tek chuckles as they kept watching Selly trying to get out of her mother's grip.

"So what do you and Eve have?" Blitz asks.

Tek hums as he looks to him. "Have what?"

"On the aliens. I know you two already have their language translated." Blitz says.

Tek smiles. "Oh yeah. We got halfway done for sure. The others are on a question for now, but it should help."

"What do they call themselves?" Blitz asks.

Tek hums. "Fallen."

"They call themselves the fallen? Is that a group name or their species?" Blitz asks.

Tek shrugs. "Apparently, it's what we're supposed to call them."

"Good job." Blitz says before hugging Tek.

Tek chuckles. "At least we can put a name to these guys."

"I will leave you two alone." Blitz says.

Tek smiles and turns to Eve watching him. "Want to get some rest?"

Eve nods and follows him to bed before starting to rest her change circuits.

Arcane yawns loudly as he laid on the couch. "Okay, anyone still tired or ready to go?"

"Ready…where is my brother?" Spectrum asks before they heard an explosion from the shooting range.

"Boom baby!"

Arcane points to the direction of the explosion. "There."

"Venator, could you get him?" Spectrum asks.

"On it. Just don't expect me to subdue him if he shoots me." Venator said walking off.

"Hey bro, look at this sweet grenade attachment." Blast says from the other room seeing his brother.

Arcane shakes his head and sits up. "Want some escape proof rope on the next trip?"

"Can it be explosion proof as well?" Spectrum asks raising an eyebrow.

Arcane waves a hoof as he gets up. "At least we know our next stop."

Azure hums. "Cold moon. Maybe we can play badass music when we assault the base. Or do you want a more quiet stealth option?"

"Stealth is the key for the start. We slip in and take out their perimeter defenses then we call in reinforcements and finish this." Arcane says.

Azure smirks. "At least this part will be over. Heck, we should get hazard pay out of this."

"What hazard pay?" Arcane asks.

"a large amount of money for dangerous jobs like dealing with something that can kill you at any time or over time and it's guaranteed. Usually, high risk jobs. And the amounts are in the hundreds of thousands." Spectrum explained.

"We already get that payment. The amount doesn't change." Venator says.

Spectrum shrugs. "It only happens if you got a stable job. Not a job listing like bounty hunting."

"Speaking of which, what is our job…we spec ops or what?" Blast asks.

Azure hums. "I don't know. Hard to tell with what we do."

"Lifting off." Spectrum says jerking everyone, but her as they were not braced.

"Dang, it sis. Watch it." Arcane said stretching and they heard loud cracks from him and make them wince.

Blitz yawns as he laid his head on the desk. "So tired. So hungry. So…lustful hungry?" He asks himself.

"Oh, Blitz, you in here?" Octavia asks walking in.

"Here honey." Blitz says tiredly.

Octavia smiles a bit as walks over. "Are you okay?"

"Tired is all." Blitz says looking to her.

Octavia giggles as she spins a bit in her frilly old style princess dress. "Like what you see? Figure that since I'm an age-old vampire, might as well try my time of outfits."

"Octy, you're not old. You're not even in your mid-forties." Blitz says smiling.

Octavia chuckled. "Aw. Such a sweetheart. Something that I like to suck at." She said licking her lips.

"It is not feeding time Octy." Blitz reminds.

Octavia gives a playful hurt look. "But you do feed me. Almost every day."

"Yes, at nine fifteen with blood packs." Blitz says.

Octavia giggles and leans on him. "So…want to spend some time away from your papers?"

"Maybe I should." Blitz says wrapping a hoof around her.

Octavia giggles and grins. "So…what do you want to do?"

"Well let's…" Blitz stops looking into 'Octavia's' eyes.

Octavia tilts her head confused. "What is it?"

"…well done Blizzard. You fooled me good. Only mistake. The eyes." Blitz says.

Blizzard sighs. "Hey, dad. Thanks."

"You have help or do this on your own?" Blitz asks.

Blizzard smiles and sits on the desk. "All on my own. I love my life."

"By memory or with an image?" Blitz asks.

Blizzard shrugs. "Both. Do I look pretty enough?"

Blitz says nothing as somepony walked in.

"What the heck…am I looking at?" Octavia asks looking to Blizzard on the desk.

"Can you guess who this is?" Blitz asks.

Octavia hums as she walks over. "Wait…no. I got nothing."

"This is DD's eldest. Did you sleep with her?" Blitz jokes.

Octavia hits him over the head. "Shut up. And well…he does make me look good. Especially with the outfit. Where did you…?" She stops as Blizzard takes out a manga with a cover of a boy wearing a girl's outfit from his dress. "Oh. It looks good."

Blitz smiles and picks up Octavia and hugs her.

Octavia giggles and snuggles into him. "So what are you doing here Blizzard? Testing yourself out?"

"Yeah, I fooled dad. All I need is to change my eye color without contacts and he wouldn't have even known." Blizzard says.

Octavia chuckled. "Just don't go too far or it might become weird."

"I know and I know dad will probably be more cautious from now on." Blizzard says as Blitz kisses Octavia's neck.

Octavia moans as she shows more of her neck. "So…I'm curious. You are a stallion, but because of this…are you going for…" She waves her hooves in the air a bit.

Blizzard chuckles. "Come on mom. Dad knows I'm bi."

"But he favors mares more." Blitz says making Blizzard smirk.

Blizzard grins. "Oh yeah. It's just when I dress up like this, I just get into the act. Stallions always fall head over hooves with this on me. Strange I got like half the features of a mare, though. What did you say mom went through?" He asks leaning towards them.

Blitz was silent for a bit before sighing. "I guess you are old enough to understand. Years ago…" Blitz says starting to tell the story about how they first met Starlight and her village. "And as such, DD was turned into a mare." Blitz finishes.

Blizzard looked worried. "But she…he…I don't know anymore." He groans putting his hooves on his head.

"Your mother is a she through and through now. The spell changed her as if she was born a mare." Blitz clarifies.

Blizzard sighs. "So…the reason I have some features like a mare is…because of that?"

"The spell has nothing to do with it. That is just you taking after your mother." Blitz says.

Blizzard groans and rubs his face. "Well…I guess it's time to head to Illium. Might as well get my mind off of this."

"Let me put it this way son. If that were the case, why is your little brother bigger and have a very masculine look about him?" Blitz asks.

Blizzard chuckles. "Oh right. He does have the problem of being good looking at times. I heard some mares are playfully planning a wedding."

Blitz shakes his head as Octavia lays against him.

Blizzard sighs. "Well…better get going. I got time to get to my contract. Still need some good makeup done."

"What contract?" Blitz asks.

Blizzard hums. "Have to sit in on a deal that may go wrong and possibly illegal by Illium standards. Going to play a mare that is part of the group from a company of our planet. Seriously, Illium is a contract death hole."

"So you are going to help catch white-collar criminals?" Blitz asks.

Blizzard grins. "Oh yeah. Safer…mostly than blue collar crimes. Besides, I might find somepony, maybe two."

"They do tend to be less violent. Also, look for a nice mare for yourself there." Blitz teases.

Blizzard smiles. "Maybe a stallion to get the whole package. I love being held."

"But we all know you like mares more." Octavia teases, remembering he only ever had marefriends.

Blizzard giggles. "Well, I have to go get ready. And get out of the look you have mom."

"Don't sign anything without consulting your brother Blazer." Blitz says.

Blizzard nods. "Sure dad. Just don't sign anything without consulting him yourself."

"Now where was I?" Blitz asks rubbing Octavia's inner thigh once Blizzard had left and he locked the door and sealed it.

Octavia hums. "You were about to take me on your desk." She said grinning and hissing quietly.

"You get a partner for this choice." Blitz says.

"DD, are you free?" Octavia calls over her omnitool.

"Sure. What do you need?" DD asks.

Blitz nods before teleporting her into his lap with Octavia.

DD blinks confused. "Um…?"

"Let's have some fun, shall we?" Blitz asks.

DD looks between them before smirking and flicks her tail around. "Awesome." She said grinning.

"Good, because both of you will be baring a new foal." Blitz says before going to work on them.

"I'm surprised you guys made it this far. Hardly any of the other species did as much as you." Spike said as he helps gives the trouble maker squad some of the ships.

"Spike, can you get back to deploying the troops on the stealth gunships? The attack is about to commence as soon as our niece and nephews take out the perimeter defenses." Scootaloo reminds.

Spike turns to her and waves his glove covered hand. "Why do you think I'm wearing this?" He asks wiggling his claws and almost ten movements went by on his screen.

"Spike, why are you just waving your claw?" Sweetie Belle asks.

Spike shrugs. "After the whole fiasco with my first meltdown, R&D came up with a glove for the littlest movements. Course…it does have some glitches, it still works. Now there's barely a need for a full control panel."

"Then why are the gunships not moving into position?" Apple Bloom asks.

Spike sighs. "Direct control from the panel. Like I said, the littlest movements so it makes sense to have them connected to the troop movement."

"So it is basically for games?" Scootaloo asks.

Spike raises an eyebrow. "That and real life. It actually works well in ports all over."

"Can we get back on topic? Are we fielding the new mass production medium walkers and aerial vehicles?" Sweetie Belle asks.

Spike nods. "We might test out our new ones off the line and show them off as 'The Vehicles That Help Eradicate the Fallen.' We might get funding and everything to speed things along." Spike calls out.

"Spike, you have been not reading reports again. The Jackhammers and the Thunderhawks have been fully tested and are being mass produced." Apple Bloom says.

Spike sighs. "Can you blame me, I don't read many reports like that. Once they are in production and all that crap. I just read the important bits that are useful."

"What are the standard armaments on the two new models?" Apple Bloom asks.

Spike stops. "Um…miniguns?" He tries looking sheepish.

The three shared a look then looked back to him with a neutral stare.

Spike chuckles nervously. "It's not…isn't it?"

Scootaloo pushes a few buttons and pulls up the reports.

Spike sighs and slouches. "Fine. I'll read."

Apple Bloom smirks as he reads through them.

Scootaloo chuckles and leans over. "Do you think he would be reading them all now?"

"As long as we get onto him about it." Applebloom says.

Sweetie Belle grins. "Then after this, we press it hard on him."

"Good plan." Scootaloo says.

Apple Bloom smiles. "Then we are in agreement. Now let's get things done here."

"Yeah." The three say high-hoofing.

Slender clears her throat and taps their shoulders. "Can we get things moving?"

"I concur. We really need this assault happening. It's only a matter of time until those things recognize they are about to be fucked up." Ridley said taking over the movements.

"Ok, we got the explosives planted on the turrets and the two pillboxes on the fortress walls." Venator says as he and Azure join them after dealing with the explosives.

"Blast, you want to do the honors?" Arcane offers.

Blast giggles crazily and hops around as he takes the detonator. "Now?" He asks excitedly.

"Make some noise." Arcane says.

Blast cheers and jumps before pressing the button and large explosions blew out from the valley below them and sent a shockwave that blew them back slightly. "Awesome!" Blast cheers.

Azure smirks. "Epic rock music time?"

"Do what you wish." Arcane says.

Azure chuckles he loads up a song. "Alright then. Let's get going." He said grabbing his bow.

"What is the ETA for the reinforcements?" Arcane asks.

Spectrum smiles. "Five minutes to do what we want."

"Let's calm the greatest glory for ourselves and kill their leader." Arcane says.

"Since when did you become a poet?" Venator asks smirking.

"Venator, don't turn into momma Daring please." Arcane says.

Venator chuckles. "Alright then. Let's get down there badass style. Blast…you're up and loose." He said smirking.

"Hooray!" Blast calls before letting loose with his grenades and missiles he had brought, making it look like a surgical artillery strike.

Azure shakes his head and smiles. "The one place he can go crazy. Arcane, make it official with the leader." He said walking by and tosses a sword to him.

"Alright." Arcane says taking off.

Venator sighs. "You think he would be fine?" He asks taking out his new hunting rifle.

Azure smiles. "The perfect way to let off steam. Look at him go already. He's rivaling Blast on kills." He said as they watch Arcane fly straight into a crowd of the fallen running out and kills them as he passes by.

"Wait till he starts throwing lightning and his lightsaber. And there." Spectrum says scoring a headshot with her blaster pistol.

Azure grins as he pulls back on his bow string. "Well…if anything, he's got dad's style." He said before letting go and hits two back to back.

"Is that a good thing?" Blast asks.

Azure hums. "As long as…yeah…never mind." He said as they watch Arcane force push away a wall of fallen. "Yeah. He's got a lot to dish out."

"So what are they bringing? It will be hard to get the armor not being readied for war here." Spectrum says.

Azure nods. "Simply, fast moving ground troops. Though the first best thing is actually two mechs."

"But the Zoids and the walkers are being readied for war." Spectrum says.

Azure looks to her. "Then why did some of the finances go to mech building…unless dad is repurposing the old PTX mech. Still a cool one."

"But it is too expensive to make parts for them and they are too heavily specialized to frozen planets." Spectrum says.

Azure hums. "Makes you wonder what is going on behind our backs."

"I hear missiles." Blast says stopping, his ear twitching.

They all stop for a moment and listen in as their ears perk up before they all look up and sees missiles flying in and then bombards the building that was dug into the moon landscape, obliterating the walls and making holes as some of the fallen flew out from the blast.

"Where did that come from?" Azure asks scratching his head.

"Mark Five Javelin burst missiles. Good anti-personnel and for destroying light defenses and damaging medium." Blast says.

"Leave it to my brother to be able to identify what missiles those were from the impact." Spectrum says sweat dropping.

Azure sighs. "Get back to shooting. We'll think about it later."

"It's odd. None of our mechs or fighters use that missile. Did dad send artillery to aid us?" Blast thinks out loud.

Azure tilts his head. "Who wants to fly and look for it?"

"Huh?" Venator asks, noticing the ones still on the walls preparing for something they could obviously see as she notices a few of their tanks were moving up to defend.

Azure leans over. "Huh. What do you know? Dad did invest."

They then heard the Fallen start to yell as they heard something hitting the walls and it was making them rumble.

Azure nods. "Yep. Dad made a good investment."

"Cracks are forming and they are abandoning the wall." Venator points out as some were even jumping off the wall or stairs.

Azure smirks. "Can you pick them off?"

"Please remember who you are talking to." Venator says starting to shoot.

Azure chuckles and starts firing again.

"OUT OF MY WAY!" Arcane yells as he picks up a fallen with the force before throwing it in front of him and knocks down every one of them before flying off again.

He kept knocking down any that got too close and even trips some up with his magic as he uses his lightsaber to slice through easy ones within reach and uses his blaster pistol as he fires every which way.

A fallen got close as it came up behind him and Arcane just frowns before turning the lightsaber and switches on and goes right through it. "I'm sorry. Were you trying to kill me?" Arcane asks turning his head to it before using his magic and flings it into the crowd.

"Who else?!" He yells and almost all of them charges before he uses a shield spell and blows it up and knocks most of them down. "Not worth my time!" He yells and flies up before heading for the top most window looking part of the building and crashes through it and fires and stabs at every single fallen in the room before coming to a sliding stop in front of a large one with horn like metal parts on its helmet with a lot of little pipes connected to the mouth area as its many eye holes glow bright yellow as it wore a red cape on its back and around its neck while spiked padulians adorn its shoulders and scattered armour plates and wrappings covered its limbs as every other fallen falls dead. "You! How about you come here and I fuck you up?!" He declares as he puts everything away and takes out the old style sword.

The fallen uses its robotic arm and stomps a large metal rod into the ground as it stood up and Arcane cranes his head up to follow its head. "Wow. You're big, but I fought bigger." He said grinning as his eyes glowed before he moved behind it and swipes as its waist before moving to the front of it. "Seriously? This what I have to face?! I fought rancors bigger and harder than you!" He taunts.

The fallen growls and seems to clench its claws before charging at him and Arcane barely dodges to the side before trying to swipe at its arm and it blocks it with the rod it was holding before lifting it up and pointing the end at him and Arcane quickly ducks his head as it fires and makes a hole in the ground behind him. "Fuck you asshole!" He yells as he knocks the rod away before stabbing it all the way to the hilt and backs off before the fallen looks to the sword and pulls it out before throwing it away. "Okay then." Arcane said before taking out his blaster and flies off as he fires while the fallen fires back at him and makes holes in the room.

The fallen roars at him and keeps firing away as Arcane uses his wings to turn on the metal supports covering the room as he keeps hitting the fallen and aims solely on its leg joints or what could be leg joints before ducking under another shot from it and flies straight at it before ducking again and gets under it before bucking his hind legs and makes it fly up before using his blaster to fire off a few shots and brings the sword to him with the force and prepares to cut it as it falls back down to him and he quickly swipes at it and slices off its arm and part of the armor covering its leg and quickly backs off.

The fallen roars as it pounds the ground and gets back up before grabbing the rod again and swings it down onto Arcane and he blocks it with the sword before starting to shoot at it with his blaster up close and aiming at its arm joint and was able to put some burnt holes into it before swinging the sword and rod away before slicing off its other arm. "Any last words?" Arcane asks raising as an eyebrow as he holds the blade to its neck.

The fallen growls and Arcane ducks an energy shot from behind him and aims his blaster at the fallen coming around the corner before hitting it and knocks it down. "Nice try." He said still holding his sword against its neck. "I am not so easily distracted. Besides, how else would I win?" He asks smirking before turning and slices his sword and cuts its neck and makes reddish purple blood spurt out as it fell to the ground, still leaking blood.

Arcane sighs as he looks around before shrugging. "Might as well live a little." He said to himself before taking a seat on the rustic throne. "Give them credit, they make good thrones."

"Seriously?" Venator asks walking in with everypony else.

Spectrum shrugs. "Keep what you kill. It's a classic."

Azure smiles. "Great job little bro. You know, they all stopped fighting for some weird reason."

Arcane raises an eyebrow. "Really? That's weird."

"Our leader has fallen. What do you wish?" A voice asks as the others take out their weapons and aim towards the fallen that came around the corner.

Arcane blinks and rubs his head. "What?" He asks confused as he heard a female voice from the fallen.

"Our leader has been struck down by you. What do you wish of us?" The fallen asks looking to him as the others were a bit confused.

Arcane blinks and slowly reaches out a hoof and types in a number on his omnitool before it rings and picks up. "Hello, Arcane. What do you need?" Twilight asks happily.

Arcane blinks confused as he watches the fallen. "Mom…what happened when you became queen of the changelings?"

Twilight hums confused for a bit. "Well…mainly Chrysalis knocked me out and then transferred all of her mind to mine and we became one. Thereby, in turn, becoming queen. Having the hive speak in my mind was coming after I woke up. Why?"

Arcane looks to the others who seem to gain the idea of what he was talking about. "I think I just became king."

"Is it the Rachni?" Twilight asks sweat dropping.

Arcane shakes his head slowly. "No…it's the aliens we are fighting."

Twilight was silent before she spoke again. "I need to speak with your father." She said before calling him on the same line.

"Yello." Blitz said relaxing in his chair at his desk.

Twilight facehoofed. "Blitz, get them out from under the desk."

Blitz chuckles. "Alright. Take off girls." He said before they saw two heads pass by under the camera. "Sorry about that. When I saw Twilight on the ID, I didn't know you would be on the line." He said looking to Arcane.

"No comment. It never happened and…" Arcane was cut off when he heard an explosion outside. Arcane growls and quickly gets up before blowing open the lower window and looks to see the fighting still going on. "ENOUGH!" He yells in the Royal Canterlot Voice and over the radio that made some of them spark and everyone stop what they were doing.

"Arcane…" Twilight said shocked he was able to use that voice.

"What? You didn't know?" Blitz asks.

"When have we had a need for it?" Twilight asks miffed.

"We can discuss this later. What do you need?" Blitz asks.

Twilight looks a bit worried now. "I think Arcane…just became king…of the aliens."

"The ones that I sent reinforcements to help kill?" Blitz asks.

Arcane finally looks to them and points the camera to the bowing fallen in the room. "Answer your question?"

"Get me Ridley." Blitz says.

Arcane quickly calls up the number and catches Ridley by surprise. "Um…need something? Air strike?" He asks confused.

"Recall the new units. The situation has had an interesting development." Blitz says.

Ridley blinks confused. "Okay. I'll get right on it." He said getting the orders out.

"Arcane, get your siblings and return. We have much to discuss this." Blitz says.

Arcane became a little confused. "What about…these things?" He asks waving a hoof to the fallen.

"Yes. I hope to see you soon and honey, you think you can trade out Luna for a bit to be here for this?" Blitz asks.

Twilight nods. "I'll see what I can do." She said starting to sending messages.

"Also." Blitz says before holding up a hoof and Twilight hears choking behind her.

Twilight leans on her hoof, bored now before slowly turning around. "Hi there. So…yeah…you're going to die. Happy trails." She said before turning back to them. "Have a safe trip sweetie."

"I am not going to kill him, love. No. I have had enough of this. Get me the Salarian councilor…in fact, all the councilors. This ends today. Either with war or that Dalatrass being deposed from her position. Also, get Wrex on the line while I do this. Let's see if our Krogan friends will back us with this." Blitz says.

Twilight nods. "Arcane sweetie, we're going to be busy. Just make it back home safe." She said before cutting his line.

"Wrex, you there?" Blitz asks as Twilight starts making calls on another terminal, keeping that one connected so he could make sure the Salarian wasn't going anywhere.

"Ugh. Ponies again. Cute things. What is it?" The age old krogan asks trying to relax in his seat.

"Wrex, you know who I am. And please no jokes. I am one decision away from declaring war on the Salarians." Blitz says getting his full attention.

Wrex raises an eyebrow. "Did you finally kill an important slug?"

"No, they targeted my wife again." Blitz says showing him the salarian now being slammed against a wall repeatedly.

Wrex chuckles as he watches the show. "Not bad dealing with him. Heard that their liver taste good raw. Any case, support for the stupid pyjacks of a council?"

"It's mostly their current Dalatrass. I don't think I need to remind you what her great grandmother tried to get the legendary hero Shepard to do so many years ago." Blitz says.

Wrex huffs. "Don't remind me. Alright. I'll get you some support. Just expect a firing squad." He said grinning.

"Don't worry. We will get her either in a war or by abducting her secretly. Heck, her government might do it for us so we both don't send forces to stop them." Blitz says.

Wrex chuckles. "Where's the fun?"

"Truth be told, we should conserve our strength as much as possible for the empire. They already made one attempt to take territory back they gave us as the republic for helping in the clone wars. As much as some Asari don't want to admit it that was is inevitable. The question is who strikes first and who is more prepared." Blitz says.

Wrex shrugs. "It's obvious you are. Then the birds. And then the humans. That's pretty much it."

"So what about the krogan clans? They ready for this war?" Blitz asks.

Wrex nods. "Always."

"We also have the Rachni helping us build ships. Even though they won't be helping fight, they still will be a major asset with building us warships." Blitz says.

Wrex nods. "Just keep them from the old ones. They hate the bugs."

"But they like having warships which are being built in our dry docks to be shipped to your clans and mine." Blitz says.

"So that's how you got those three battlemasters to not kill the Rachni workers." Wrex says.

"Twi is very persuasive on those matters." Blitz says.

"Your female did that? I'm surprised you're still at the top." Wrex said smirking.

"Let's just say I have my ways. Alright, here she comes." Blitz says as Twilight returns to the monitor as two krogan bodyguards restrain the Salarian.

Twilight waves and smiles. "Hi, Wrex."

"I am up to speed. We speaking to the council?" Wrex asks.

Twilight nods. "Yep. Got most of them on the line right now. Um…guys…?" She asks as she turns to the krogans struggling with the assassin.

"If you don't stop, I will kill you." Blitz threatens using the force to inspire terror in the assassin, freezing him.

"Finally." One of the krogan said before they carried him out.

"Who is missing from the councilors dear?" Blitz asks.

Twilight sighs and shakes her head. "Salarian."

"Wrex, get ready to deploy your clans." Blitz says unamused, alerting the three council members listening in he was fully serious.

"Already got the troops and ships moving." Wrex said off screen now.

"As you can see, this has pushed my husband over the edge with his anger. He is so mad, he literally comes full circle." Twilight says to the councilors.

"Two pies!" Blitz calls out as he moves his troops and ships.

"I'm sure we can have a peaceful resolve in all this." The Asari councilor tries to find a way out.

"Is that why the Salarian councilor isn't returning my wife's calls?" Blitz asks with no sense of humor present.

"Look, there is no need to go full on war for this kind of situation. A solution can be found from this." A turian councilor said.

"And would you say that if your sovereignty as a species was tried to be revoked twice and your ambassador had now three assassination attempts on them by the same person with documented evidence. I have been more than patient with this issue." Blitz says.

"I would be pissed." The human councilor said.

"Thank you. Now, unless something is done, I am going public with all of this and will launch a full-scale war, despite what anyone says. The krogan are already backing us. How many more will because I will make the argument who is next. The Quarians, the Volus, the Drell? I could go on, but you have the point already." Blitz says.

Twilight whistles a bit. "Ranchi. Can't forget them. Also, even me and the other members of the family can't stop him. So…once he begins…pray."

"So does anyone else see the urgency of getting the remaining council member on the line?" Blitz asks.

"I'm closest." The human councilor said before actually running off the still functioning hologram.

"Still think I will just let this one go?" Blitz asks the Asari councilor mostly.

"No. You have a penchant for war. Much like a current council species we know." The turian councilor said.

Blitz waited patiently as he could as he knew Wrex was bluffing right now as no ship or whole clans had left their planets right now. Though it was only a matter of time.

"Tick tock." Twilight said tapping her hoof.

Blitz was about to close the line when a fourth image appeared.

"Got them." The human councilor said returning to his hologram spot.

Blitz, now in humanoid form, just taps his fingers, waiting for the nervous Salarian councilor to speak.

The Salarian councilor clears his throat dryly. "Well…you can be rest assured we have caught and are preparing to discipline the Dalatrass."

Blitz kept tapping his fingers. "You know I have the oddest feeling we have been here before." Blitz says, his tone turning a little sour the more he spoke.

"By firing her and detaining her. This is a violation of our laws and the council." The Salarian councilor finishes.

Blitz keeps tapping his fingers on the desk, looking at them. "Good news. He is now thinking it over." Twilight says.

"Partly." Blitz corrects.

"Blitz, what do you want?" Twilight asks.

"Deliver her to us." Blitz says after a pause.

All the councilors stare at him slightly shocked, the salarian the most. "We'll…have it done." The turian said suddenly and making the others look to him. "Don't give me that look. It is obvious he isn't backing down and if he does go public, who will support the Salarians in this, especially since the Krogan is already with them on this." The councilor says.

The human councilor sighs. "I'll see to it that the papers are rushed."

"I'll get the commando team to collect." The Asari councilor said. "And don't say STG. It's obvious he has less trust in your race anymore." She said looking to the salarian councilor.

"Mostly in that she will use political pull to try and get out of it with them. I have no beef with the race. Just her and her influence." Blitz says.

"And any that might get in your way." The turian councilor adds.

"Says the species hiring mine to fight a small war over a planet's ownership with the Batarians." Blitz says.

The turian frowns. "That shouldn't be true."

"But it is." Blitz says.

"And how did you come by that information?" The human councilor asks.

"Of those he hired is my nephew." Blitz says.

"Of course family would say." The human councilor said as he seems to be busy with something.

"Also the payment is made to either my clan or the planet and we keep an eye on the income very well." Blitz says.

"Seems you have eyes everywhere and not just where you have expanded or been deployed." The Asari councilor observed.

"Can you say you all don't?" Blitz asks.

They all stayed silent at that.

"Point made." Blitz says.

Twilight sighs. "We will await the transfer." She said before cutting her line.

"Wrex, call off the invasion but get an execution squad ready." Blitz calls.

"Finally. I was getting tired of just standing there." Wrex said walking back into view with a large container of something in hand. "It was getting boring."

"I will see you soon." Blitz says disconnecting from all but Twilight. "As for that assassin, should we give him back Twily?" Blitz asks.

Twilight smiles. "Gesture of good faith."

"Yes and later?" Blitz asks wiggling his eyebrows at her.

Twilight grins. "Calm down big boy. You will get this flank later."

"I look forward to it." Blitz says smirking as Twilight has assumed her humanoid form.

Twilight hums as she smiles and leans back in her seat. "When are you ever going to experiment between human and pony one day?"

"We had this discussion for years, love. No good grip." Blitz says.

Twilight rolls her eyes. "Experiment." She sang.

"Never again. After that time I was turned into Rainbow." Blitz says.

Twilight sighs. "Fine…though it would be fun to try and possess one of us and let us have fun."

"Sounds like you have done it before huh Spitfire?" Blitz asks smirking.

"Shut up." Twilight blurts out in Spitfire's voice.

"So have you possessed anyone else and we…" Blitz stops and wiggles his eyebrows.

"Octavia, Vinyl, their counterparts, Rainbow and Fluttershy." She counts off.

"So how was being a vampire, a dhampir, and a succubus?" Blitz asks.

She licks her lips. "Sexy."

"Explain the difference." Blitz says amused.

She hums as she leans into her seat more. "Being a vampire, very hungry. Dhampir, loads of fun playing with what knowledge she had. Succubus, now there's a libido."

"And compared to right now?" Blitz asks.

"Boring. I'm dealing with papers."

"I mean the body." Blitz says.

Spitfire chuckled. "She's hot and horny right now."

"Oh look who joined me Twily." Blitz says turning to Spitfire who took a seat on his desk.

Twilight chuckled. "Waiting for us to get together again Spitfire? I got my spell ready for you."

"No thanks. This is all the magic I need." Spitfire says now holding Blitz's head and petting it in her humanoid form.

Blitz chuckles almost pervertly. "I feel the love."

"We will see you when you get here for now. I am spending some quality time with Blitzy." Spitfire says disconnecting the line.

Blitz rolls his eyes. "Possessive much?"

"Hush now about that. Time to have some fun and maybe have more foals on the way." Spitfire says.

Blitz smiles. "On the desk missy."

"You can't order this mare around mister." Spitfire says teasingly.

Blitz grins. "Watch me." He said picking her up.

Arcane slouches as he rubs his head as the others stared at him across the room. "Did we have to bring this thing?" Azure asks as the fallen next to Arcane was tied up.

Arcane sighs. "Yes. It's the only second in command left and best to have this one then the whole freakin army." He said still rubbing his head.

"So you haven't seen what dad sent, right?" Venator asks trying to change the subject.

Arcane groans. "I have been busy with these bastards."

"Take a look." Venator says.

Arcane looks up and stops. "What the heck…?"

"Those walkers tore the walls right down." Venator says as fourteen walkers, twice the size of the fallens, were being picked up by transports.

"There cannons?" Arcane asks.

"No, their hands can switch to a jackhammer like setting according to what uncle Spike says." Spectrum says.

"Jackhammer?" Arcane asks confused.

"Yeah, like the construction tool." Spectrum says.

Arcane was still confused. "Why have that?"

"What is the quickest and best way to take down fortifications in peacetime?" Azure asks.

Arcane stops and nods. "Okay. That makes sense. No one suspects jackhammers."

"And of that size and power, it will destroy other walkers or tanks if they get in close." Spectrum says.

Arcane blinks. "That sounds better and better."

"Most walkers are basically tanks upgraded if you consider the armaments. Dad went with building a siege walker that can besiege from near or far with those missiles they fired here and their cannons." Blast says.

"And my brother knows how their explosives are." Spectrum said.

"Doesn't that mean they are not as mobile?" Venator asks.

"Yeah…they are not the fastest and because of that, they are given heavier armor." Spectrum adds.

"Considering they are mainly jackhammering the building and heavy armaments." Azure said.

"They also had something else ready to deploy, but with the calling it off, they didn't deploy them." Spectrum adds.

Arcane turns to the tied up fallen. "You are really messing us up."

"I am sorry master." The fallen replies bowing down as best she could while tied on the ground.

"To the ship?" Venator asks.

Arcane nods grimly as he rubs his head. "Order them to stay and repair." Arcane orders.

The fallen looks to him before looking at her arm where a pad screen was attached to the armor which showed a connection of some kind on the screen and starts to speak in the fallen's language before ending the call.

"Alright, surprise me." Blitz says pacing back and forth in front of his kids.

Arcane and the others watch him pace. "I am like mom with a hive, only this time, it's a house of aliens." Arcane said as he looks behind them to the fallen tied up and watched over by the changeling guards.

"Go on." Blitz instructs.

Arcane sighs. "And I gained the hive mind style in my head. I can literally understand them without trouble."

Blitz stops and looks at him for a moment before going back to pacing.

"Um…any other questions?" Arcane asks raising an eyebrow.

Blitz breathed in deeply before turning to him. "You get to decide their fate. Either they all die, are imprisoned, or you rule over them." Blitz instructs.

Arcane blinks and slowly turns to the fallen before walking over to her.

Blitz went back to his chair and sat in it, waiting to see what he chooses.

Arcane blinks slowly and leans down to the fallen and sighs. "Look at me." He said frowning slightly and the fallen looks up to him. "You will listen, right?" He asks and she nods slowly.

"Yes, master." The fallen said.

Arcane sighs. "Let her go. Cut the ropes." He said turning and walking away. "I'm going to be in my room for a bit."

'Arcane is finally maturing.' Blitz thinks.

Azure blinks and his eyes light up as he watches Arcane leaving before ending his vision and turns to Blitz. "His aura…" He tries to explain after Arcane left.

"Say nothing Azure." Blitz instructs starting to call the Turian and Quarians.

Blitz sighs as he looks over another report when his private emergency line starts ringing.

He sighs and answers as he locks down the room before the screen came up of Ahsoka. "What's wrong?" He asks frowning.

"Blitzy, can I ask a favor?" Ahsoka asks.

"…what do you need love?" Blitz asks before sighing.

"The padawan, the teacher, and I, amongst Phoenix fleet, have recently been to a temple…a vision of Yoda told Ezra to go to Malachor for answers." Ahsoka says freezing Blitz.

"I am coming with you." Blitz says after a long pause.

Ahsoka sighs. "Thanks. Can you hurry?"

"I am on my way." Blitz says cutting the line before yelling, "Twilight!"

Twilight suddenly teleports into the room. "Yes?" She asks obviously worried and annoyed.

"Something serious has come up. Take over…I sense a confrontation in my future." Blitz says opening his hidden armory.

Twilight raises an eyebrow. "Do you know how bad?"

"Someone powerful." Blitz says cryptically, telling Twilight he didn't know who specifically.

Twilight sighs. "Good luck and come back with fewer scratches."

"I will try, but I must go alone. Make sure no one discovers I have left." Blitz says donning his armor.

Twilight nods. "I'll see that it gets done."

"I love you. Convey my love to the other wives ok?" Blitz says petting her once.

Twilight smiles a bit and chitters. "I'll smack their flank for you."

"I will see you soon." Blitz whispers before teleporting away.

Twilight sighs and whistles and a changeling walks in and changes into Blitz before sitting in his seat. "Act busy. The rest of you, no one is to meet with Blitz. Say he is too busy with a project or work." She said walking out.

Blitz glares as his ship touches down on the surface of Malakor. "I can feel it clearly. Find her Terran." Blitz says stepping onto the surface of the planet.

Terran growls before running off with Blitz running close behind.

The two ran on the dark side planet's surface till they came to an opening to an underground location.

"Okay, Terran. Let's put those hunting for foals at night to good use. Find Ahsoka." Blitz said. Terran growls and points down to the underground area. "She is under attack?" Blitz asks.

Terra huffs and growls to somewhere in the darkness.

"You may have the first kill." Blitz says before they jump in.

Terran growls happily before running off into the darkness as he runs through the blocky areas of dim red lighting.

"You hear that?" Blitz asks as the sound of lightsabers was heard.

Terran growls loudly as they see moving blue and red lights mostly from a clearing up ahead.

"I see electro staffs. Terran, they are yours." Blitz orders as he lets him run ahead.

Terran growls as he jumps into the fray and the inquisitor and the two imperial heavy troopers look up in time to see something come at them with sharp teeth and brings two of them to the ground as Terran tries to bite at a neck. "Get this mutt off me!" An imperial heavy trooper yells as he tries to hold back Terran.

"Uh oh. You're in trouble now." Ahsoka says smirking before all of them felt Blitz's dark side presence.

The imperial trooper still dealing with Terran didn't look as everyone else look to see Blitz in his humanoid form walking up them in his speed armor as they can feel him smirking under his helmet. "Hey, guys. Having fun with my pet? He's a lively one, isn't he? Should have fed him, though. But then again, someone volunteered by attacking someone I hold dear." Blitz said chuckling before they felt his anger.

"Oh, I feel the love." Ahsoka said chuckling a bit.

"Terran, kill." Blitz orders sending a chill down Ezra's spine as the trooper not held down by Terran quickly tries to backpedal away.

Terran growls and opens his mouth wider than they could possibly think it could go and bites down onto the trooper's neck and pulls back as he left only a little flesh for his head to hang onto. Terran then burps loudly before panting his tongue out and scratches behind his ears.

"You still have more." Blitz says noticing the inquisitor. "So you are still around. I thought we killed all of you." Blitz says making that one back up.

Terran keeps scratching behind his ears as he hops towards the inquisitor and trooper before stopping and sitting in front of them before growling as gets louder.

Seeing this, the inquisitor spins his lightsaber before using it as a propeller to fly away. "That is an interesting function. Terran, finish up." Blitz instructs before looking them all over and stops at Maul.

Maul notices the stare and looks to see Blitz staring at him. "The horns?" He asks in a tired voice.

"You are Darth Maul. Obi-wan Kenobi told me of you long ago." Blitz says.

"Well, I should feel flattered that he remembers me enough to mention to you." Maul said rolling his eyes.

"How could he when you kill the woman he loved, Duchess Satine of Mandalore." Blitz says.

Maul huffs. "Senile old fool. As for you, you seem to have embraced the dark side already." He said as an arm flies by them.

"You would be surprised. Now Ezra, why are you here on this dead world or do you not know it's history and who did this?" Blitz says.

Ezra tries to shrug as he can't keep his eyes off the feast and screams. "This place can help us how to figure out how to stop the sith."

"Ahsoka told me Master Yoda sent you here correct?" Blitz asks.

"Yes, that is right. I saw him in a vision." Ezra says making Maul pay close attention.

"I see. Do you know what happened here or who made this a dead world?" Blitz asks.

Ezra shakes his head. "No…" He stops as a torso flies past him before Terran snatches it up and start to chew. "No sir."

"This was the site of the final battle of the Mandalorian Wars. During which the most terrible atrocity of the war was committed. Malachor was restricted to Mandalorians, a taboo in Mandalorian culture, something that the Jedi General Revan used against them in order to win the war. Revan is one of the most curious and highly regarded forces users of all time. He was both Jedi and sith and yet neither." Blitz starts as the screams ended permanently.

Erza gulps as he slightly watches Terran waddle up to them and sits down in front of them before burping. "Oh, who's a good boy?" Ahsoka asks happily as she scratches his head and he pants happily.

"Revan amassed an enormous fleet composed, not coincidentally, of Jedi and Republic soldiers whose loyalty to Revan was in question, at the planet, providing the Mandalorians with a target that was too good to pass up. During the Battle of Malachor V, Revan single-handedly slew Mandalore the Ultimate aboard the warlord's flagship. As Republic and Mandalorian forces out the system from the planet itself continued to clash, Surik ordered the activation of the Mass Shadow Generator superweapon with a single, wordless nod towards its inventor, Bao-Dur, in order to prevent the Mandalorian forces they faced from overwhelming them and moving on to attack Revan's forces from behind. In an instant, Malachor's gravity crushed every combatant in and around its atmosphere, Mandalorian, Republic, and Jedi alike. Malachor's surface was transformed into a barren, shattered and lifeless wasteland you have seen, all of Revan's enemies were eliminated in a single stroke. The planet was left scarred from the battle as the surface had been obliterated." Blitz explains.

Ezra gulps as he looks around quickly as he tries to imagine all that.

Ahsoka sighs as she kept petting Terran. "Easy. You're scaring him."

"I am not surprised you found a sith Holocron as later there was an academy here. Now Maul, what are you really doing here?" Blitz asks.

Maul huffs. "I'm here to gather the same information as the group you see before you. You need all the help you need to defeat the dark side one day when they turn on you."

"So this is about revenge for Sidious killing your brother." Blitz says.

Maul growls under his breath as he glares at him.

"What is really here Maul? You are not stupid." Blitz says menacingly.

"It's a battle station." Maul growls.

"Activated by a Holocron?" Blitz asks.

"Yes." Maul says.

Blitz inhales briefly before asking, "Do I need to explain how impractical that is?"

"Look around." Maul said frowning.

"Moving on. Vader will be here soon enough. When the inquisitor gets word back of Jedi, you, and an unknown sith, he will come." Blitz says.

"Precisely." Maul confirms.

"Then we better hurry and get out of here." Ahsoka said looking around a bit.

"Wait we came for knowledge and we have the Holocron. You said so yourself. To defeat the sith we must understand them." Ezra says.

Blitz looks to Ezra and sees he had grown since he last saw him. "He is right." Blitz says.

Maul smirks a bit as Ahsoka and Kanan look to him slightly shocked. "Are you sure?" Ahsoka asks.

"An ancient wise man once said, if you know your enemy and yourself, you need not fear a hundred battles. If you know yourself, but not the enemy, for every victory you gain, you will also suffer a defeat, and if you know neither yourself nor your enemy, you will succumb in every battle." Blitz says.

Ahsoka raises an eyebrow. "Which wise man said that?"

"Sun Tsu." Blitz says obviously confusing all four of them.

"Who?" They all ask.

"A human but from how long ago, I do not know. That is how old he is…maybe even pre-space faring for them." Blitz says.

Maul blinks. "Humans that old coming up with strange words? Think of the archives."

"He also understood war than many even to this day. Now let's get moving." Blitz says.

Maul raises an eyebrow as he crosses his arms as they all start to walk to the big building just up ahead before he follows.

"You know what era this is from?" Blitz asks as they near a lift.

"Me? No." Maul said still frowning.

"What do you think Revan's age or a newer one?" Blitz asks.

"I would say the age of Revan more likely built by the sith who were here that made an academy." Maul says.

"So that group." Blitz says thinking as they came to a lift.

Ahsoka looks to him lightly. "What are you thinking?"

"This may be more damaging to us in the long run. And it would need to be examined to see if it is still fully functional." Blitz says.

"Shouldn't it be destroyed then?" Kanan asks.

"It may destroy itself from the strain." Blitz whispers to them once Maul was far enough away.

Ahsoka leans to him. "So one shot is all it can get off?" She whispers.

"Possible. Have to check to confirm my suspicions. If it was in space, less likely, but on this planet, I can not say." Blitz whispers.

Ahsoka nods and turns to Maul. "We have to watch, don't we?"

"Maul can't be trusted. If he tries to seize the station, we have to end him." Blitz whispers

Ahsoka nods and watches Maul. "I can do that."

"Ahsoka, be prepared. I have a feeling we meet Vader today." Blitz whispers.

Ahsoka looks to him as she tries to contemplate that.

"I sensed a battle was in my immediate future. It could be Maul or it could be Vader." Blitz whispers.

Ahsoka frowns as she then looks worried to him. "Do you know which?"

"No." Blitz says as Kanan looked at them.

"So what is your relationship?" Kanan asks.

Ahsoka smiles to him. "Only if you want to get technical."

"Please tell me." Kanan requests very interestedly.

Ahsoka hums. "Should we tell him?" She asks Blitz as she smiles.

"Go ahead." Blitz says.

Ahsoka nods. "We're husband and wife."

"Wait, what?!" Kanan calls.

"Keep it down. We don't want the entire galaxy to hear." Blitz says as Terran walks up with a crushed droid in his jaws.

Ahsoka smiles to Terran. "Aw. Who's a good boy?"

"That is why I said you can tell him." Blitz says before reaching the temple and Kanan starts arguing with Maul who Ezra should be with.

Blitz sighs and rubs his head. "The life of teenagers. Enough, if it is that big of an issue, I will take him up. Ahsoka with Maul, Kanan take Terran." Blitz instructs.

Kanan slowly looks to Terran mindlessly chewing on a metal piece.

"A problem with that?" Blitz asks.

Kanan slowly shakes his head as he watches Terran look at him blankly.

"Follow him Terran." Blitz instructs before leading Ezra away.

Ezra looks back to the rest. "They will be alright, right?" He asks looking at Terran.

"Yes, they will be fine." Blitz says as they take a lift.

"Why are you so against Darth Maul? He's helping us." Ezra asks raising an eyebrow.

"You are being too trusting. This battle station is a prize. Why do you think he was here?" Blitz asks.

Ezra stares at him before looking off thinking.

"I can sense your confusion, but remember who is your friends and allies before you make a decision." Blitz says keeping his tone neutral to avoid sounding like he was lecturing.

Ezra slowly nods as he still thinks.

"It seems we also have jump troopers." Blitz says seeing people using jetpacks to scale the cliff.

Ezra quickly looks over and sees around four jump troopers heading for where they were going.

"Now show me what you have learned." Blitz says as the lift reaches the top.

Ezra nods as he takes out his lightsaber and goes to where he thinks they will land and follows their movements carefully as he activities his lightsaber.

Blitz watches as Ezra gets the jump and dispatches three of them before knocking the fourth to the ground.

Blitz sighs as Ezra waits for the trooper to get up before the trooper charges at him and Ezra slices him across the chest.

"Your form and skill have defiantly improved, but you still have a ways to go." Blitz says sensing the approach of the others.

Ahsoka hums as she looks to the bodies and Ezra in the middle of them. "Much trouble?"

"Seems they somehow tracked us here or they sent troopers to aid in taking you down Maul." Blitz says.

Maul huffs. "Nothing can stop until I did my own job."

"Either way, there is bound to be more and that inquisitor is still out there no doubt a probe droid relayed he has the Holocron to him." Ahsoka says.

Blitz nods. "Lead the way guys."

"This time, I will take you, Ezra." Maul says.

Blitz glares slightly under his helmet at him. "Let the kid decide for himself."

"It's fine. I will be ok." Ezra says.

"Very well, Terran, let's head out." Blitz says walking away.

Terran barks and hurries over to his side and walks beside him.

"How many do you think are with the Inquisitor?" Kanan asks.

"Dozens at least." Ahsoka says.

"Those jump troopers cost us too much time. Hurry Terran." Blitz says running.

Terran growls as he runs ahead a bit and quickly turns and leads Blitz to another clearing.

"You smell the inquisitor huh? Well, we finish him here." Blitz instructs as they near blaster fire and lightsabers.

Terran growls as he bares his teeth and jumps up high as Blitz went across the walkway. When they got close, they see the inquisitor trying to make an escape only for his lightsaber to fall apart and send him plummeting towards the ground, screaming all the way.

Blitz blinks. "Huh. That's one way. No more blaster fire…Terran, Maul usefulness is over." Blitz says.

Terran barks loudly and grabs Maul's attention and turns to the large varren and brings his lightsaber up and tries to swipe at him before Terran moves out of the way in midair by spinning around and lands on the far side as Blitz comes up on the other end.

"Trying to get rid of them so you can convince Ezra to join you huh?" Blitz asks walking up, making both Kanan and Ahsoka be on complete guard.

Maul frowns as he turns to him. "You would never give up on searching, will you?"

"You were a fool if you considered for a moment I would trust you." Blitz says igniting his dark saber.

Maul glares at him. "So be it."

Blitz was about to step forward when he stops. "Ahsoka, Kanan, get to Ezra. Vader is here." Blitz says.

Ahsoka goes wide eyed before running off with Kanan close behind.

"Now to deal with you, Maul." Blitz says as Terran growled.

Maul huffs. "I think I can take on you and this pet dog."

"No, you can't." Blitz says as he stops suppressing his force signature for a bit.

Maul goes wide eyed for a bit at the aura he gives off before Blitz suddenly shot forward and slices his dark saber and cuts off his arm. Maul screamed in pain before being force pushed off the temple by Blitz. As he fell, he saw Blitz glaring down on him

"Trash." Blitz says deactivating his dark saber before heading towards the top. As the two made their way up they felt it clearly. "He has arrived." Blitz says and soon heard lightsabers clashing.

Terran growls loudly as they got closer and barks.

"Let's go." Blitz says making them increase their speeds to running.

Terran barks loudly and jumps at high speeds and aims himself toward the fight as he opens his jaws ready to bite as Blitz comes over the ledge and sees Terran aim for Darth Vader who looks up in time to swipe at Terran actually glance off his teeth and sends Terran sliding away as he seems to glare at him.

"You?" Vader asks confused then he felt a presence in the force he hadn't felt in years, only much more powerful and intense.

"So, at last, we meet Darth Vader." Blitz says.

Vader seems to glare at Blitz as he relaxes his stance. "You have changed."

"You know who I am?" Blitz asks.

"Blitzkrieg Read. The chief of the Mandalorian Blitzkrieg clan." Vader says.

"And my sith title is Darth Imperius. Now then…I know you." Blitz says recognizing his presence.

Vader turns his lightsaber towards him at that.

"Ahsoka, do you also recognize him?" Blitz asks.

Ahsoka looks to Vader and tries to recognize the presence before stopping. "It can't be him."

"I'm sorry Ahsoka, but we finally found your old master Skywalker." Blitz says assuming a defensive stance.

Vader assumes a somewhat lazy stance as Ahsoka glares. "He can't have done all these things."

"Ahsoka, I am sorry." Blitz says taking a step forward.

Vader took a step toward him as Ahsoka was hesitant at first before shakily taking a step toward them.

"Ahsoka, get them out of here. The last thing we need is for the empire to have a chance to use this." Blitz says.

Ahsoka stops before turning off her lightsabers and running towards where Ezra and Kanan were.

"You realize why I did that Anakin?" Blitz asks knowing that calling him that would annoy him.

Vader huffs. "You just wanted to make things easier for yourself."

"No. I wanted to spare my wife the heartache of fighting you. I also see instead of fighting the true enemy, you joined them." Blitz says.

"They have the power to help." Vader defended.

"Oh yes, the power…you killed your wife?" Blitz asks making Vader realize he was probing his thought.

Vader seems to glare. "You have embraced that dark side as well."

"You haven't embraced it. You have been consumed." Blitz says channeling the light and dark side to launch a torrent of force lightning and a barrage of telekinetic shots.

Vader holds up his lightsaber and his hand and tries to block both before they hit him and he kept being peppered with the debris being ripped from the ground.

"Unlike you, I am no slave to it. I am a true sith. Not one of your foolish rule of two." Blitz says mockingly.

Vader breathes deeply through his mask as he sends a pulse of force at him and rips up the ground that made Blitz trip a bit and stops his assault for a moment before recovering.

"You guarded your chest most of all…ah. You are in critical condition. And that controls your life support." Blitz says realizing why he was guarding it so closely.

Vader glares at him behind his mask and sends another pulse at him as he walks up to him and tries to swipe at before Blitz blocks it and strikes back. "You do not know anything about me."

"So the emperor wants a constant reminder of your vulnerability huh? He is a very cruel man. Why do you put up with him?" Blitz asks as they exchange blows from their lightsabers.

"He saved lives thanks to the dark side. The Jedi way did more harm than good." Vader countered as he tries to knock away Blitz's lightsaber.

"Is that what you really think? Did the dark side save your wife or your unborn children?" Blitz asks making him freeze for a moment as Blitz blocked his lightsaber with his claws.

"Children?" Vader asks almost lost before ducking and dodging the saber and pulls his saber away and tries to swipe back.

"Oh, you didn't know. How many other things has the emperor been keeping from you? I know because my spy sent me a copy of the last medical records of Padme when she died. It says she gave birth to them both, but the fates of them were left undocumented. As such, I can only guess they died as well." Blitz says.

Vader growls under his breath and starts to swipe and strike at Blitz hard to send him skidding back a few times.

"You also lack the maneuverability you once had. Are you so far gone all you can do is hurt others?" Blitz asks running his mouth to distract Vader as they escaped.

Vader growls. "I can protect them more than you can."

"Can you protect what really matters to you or do you just kill them?" Blitz taunts.

"Silence." Vader threatened as he throws him away with the force.

"It angers you doesn't? To know I speak the truth and you can only lie to yourself and cling to power now?" Blitz taunts.

"I said silence." Vader throws back as he rushes forward and strikes his saber and sends it up before trying to strike at him and Blitz freezes some of his cybernetics with magic.

"And now…" Blitz stops seeing the temple starting to rumble. "Damn. Out of time. Next time Anakin." Blitz says before jumping back to Terran and teleporting them away.

Vader glares at where they were before walking back to his ship.

"Ahsoka, come in." Blitz says over the comms.

"Blitz. Thanks for the help." Ahsoka said.

"I could do no less for my wife. Now follow me to Korriban. The force is telling me to go there with visions." Blitz says.

"Sure. I'll get the course set up." Ahsoka said.

"Also, tell Ezra and Kanan to tell Phoenix that the empire is making a big move. I just got a report. Vader's fleet and the 501st are moving." Blitz informs.

"I'll get the news to them. Just be sure that we can make this one on time." Ahsoka said.

"Ahsoka, the war will begin sooner than we thought. I can sense it." Blitz says.

"So can everyone else." Ahsoka said.

"When we get back, I will be going straight to the turian primarch, Wrex, and the new head of the salarian STG. I will also send word to Aria and the other Asari matriarchs who see it as we do. We must unite again. Also, the clans must unite. I must find Boba and put forth the vote of a new Mandalore." Blitz says.

Ezra and Kanan, hearing that, looked toward the monitor surprised.

Ahsoka raises an eyebrow. "Who could be possible for the new Mandalore?"

"I have an idea who." Blitz says before entering hyperspace.

"Kanan, stay on your ship with Ezra. We go on." Blitz says as Ahsoka got off the ship.

Kanan raises an eyebrow as Ezra stays in his seat as they watch Blitz, Terran, and Ahsoka walk off.

"We know where we are going or just letting the force guide us?" Ahsoka asks.

"The latter…can you sense that?" Blitz asks.

Ahsoka looks around a bit. "Somewhat…yeah."

"Someone has been awoken by our presence." Blitz says.

Ahsoka frowns as she tries to see with the force and pinpoint the source.

"They are coming. Don't leave my side, my beloved." Blitz instructs.

Ahsoka looks to him. "They?"

"Some sith spirits are coming our way. Not those like the darth. More along the lines of students and failed apprentices." Blitz explains.

Ahsoka looks a little shocked. "Dead…right?"

Blitz looks to her. "You've seen windigos, right?"

"Yes." Ahsoka says.

Blitz hums. "Good. They'll be like that. Except they can hurt you directly."

"How bad?" Ahsoka asks.

Blitz didn't answer as they were surrounded by what looked like a dust storm.

"This them?" Ahsoka asks as they ended up back to back.

"Yeah." Blitz says as the dust started to take the form of ancient sith sorcerers.

"Got anything in that magic arsenal of yours?" She asks trying to keep an eye on them.

"I do. Don't worry." Blitz reassures.

"Trespassers of light. You dare to disgrace this land with your aura?" One asks in an echoey voice.

"You have something to say?" Blitz asks.

"Do you for none come here?" It asks back.

"Yeah, I have something to say. BEGONE FAILURES OF THE SITH!" Blitz roars unleashing his dark side powers.

The clouds start to be blown away and the spirits come apart before they disappear.

"You basically have to show them who's the boss." Blitz says looking back to Ahsoka, smiling under his mask.

Ahsoka smiles a bit. "Not bad."

"Oh, Terran is happy." Blitz points out the varren happily rolling in the sand.

Ahsoka chuckles as she watches him acting like a puppy. "He's so cute like that."

"Yes and unlike Anakin, he likes sand." Blitz says.

Terran growls happily as he keeps rolling around them.

"Alright, this way. So Ahsoka, did you meet most of the Jedi?" Blitz asks as they walked.

Ahsoka sighs. "Most of whom survived, yes."

"But you knew those who were generals right?" Blitz asks.

Ahsoka nods. "Yes and some who were turned but gone now."

"Yes. I have a feeling you might know who or what the force is calling us to find." Blitz says.

Ahsoka sighs. "Let's hope I do. Because I feel a bit lost."

Blitz reached out and took her hand and held it to reassure her.

Ahsoka smiles a bit and squeezes his hand back. "Thanks."

"Alright Terran, come on. We have to find what we were sent for." Blitz says.

Terran barks and wiggles in the sand one last time before getting up and starts to follow them.

Blitz and Ahsoka spent a little over an hour before stopping and finding a half-buried temple.

"Well,…that's something." Ahsoka said looking around.

"This is the place." Blitz says.

Ahsoka hums. "What are we going to look for in here?"

"I don't know. Let's find out." Blitz says starting to walk down the steps.

Ahsoka hums as she looks at the strange designs on the walls. "Know the language?"

"Ancient language of the sith. Nothing too important. Mostly propaganda like stuff." Blitz says.

Ahsoka hums and nods as she kept following and holds his shoulder to make sure he doesn't go away. "How close do you think we are getting?"

"Close. I would think." Blitz says as they walked through the dark.

Ahsoka raises an eyebrow. "You think?"

"Hard to say sometimes with a temple…well, we found a corpse." Blitz says seeing the skeletal remains of a humanoid without a head.

Ahsoka stops as she looks closely at it. "Must have gotten lost."

"Look closely. The spine shows signs of being burnt through by plasma." Blitz says.

Ahsoka moves the skeleton a bit. "Huh. So it is. Must have been running then or got struck from behind."

"Or tossed away…I sense a force ghost. Can you?" Blitz asks.

Ahsoka immediately tries to search for it and frowns. "Just up ahead." She said looking in that direction.

"And someone is alive down here. You want to open the sealed doorway or shall I?" Blitz asks.

Ahsoka smiles a bit. "How about as a husband and wife should do this?" She asks reaching out with the force and grabs a hold of the doorway.

"We pushing it in or pulling it down?" Blitz asks reaching out with the force as well.

Ahsoka wraps an arm around his waist. "Push. I think we want to make a bit of a flashy entrance since you love it like that."

"No. I love my girls." Blitz says giving her a quick kiss before they pushed together, blowing the door inward, breaking the stone when it hits the ground.

Ahsoka smiles to him. "Like the old days huh?"

"Yeah. So let's see who we have." Blitz says walking in with her.

Ahsoka hums as she looks around the chamber. "This is a very strange temple."

"Heads up." Blitz says igniting his dark saber and blocking two lightsabers.

Ahsoka quickly activities hers and goes for an attack. "What the heck is attacking?"

"The one we came for." Blitz says before his armor shines a light on the attacker.

Ahsoka goes wide-eyed at the sight. "Wait. Isn't that…"

"Jedi master A'Sharad Hett?" Blitz asks and pushes him away as they all took a stance and watch other for any sign of movement.

"Master Hett. Is that you?" Ahsoka asks.

A'Sharad stopped hearing a name he had long since heard and looks to Ahsoka for a good time before recognizing her. "You are Skywalker's padawan?"

Ahsoka nods slowly. "Was, but yes."

"Master Hett, what brings you to Korriban?" Blitz asks before both deactivated their lightsabers.

Hett sighs. "I came here looking for a possible sith that can either help or hinder us."

"You found someone. I can sense your body now knows sith teachings…meaning we have a powerful force ghost here." Blitz says pausing in the middle.

Hett nods. "You're right about the teachings. But wrong with the ghost."

"Master Hett, I myself am a sith trained in the sith arts. I know when I sense one of their force ghosts." Blitz says as Ahsoka got beside him seeing a blue form appear.

"I'm guessing that's the ghost?" She asks seeing the female figure float behind Hett.

"Hett, do you know how we found you?" Blitz asks.

Hett frowns a bit. "The force being called?"

"Yes, the force lead us here. We are about to go to war with the sith empire. We have gathered what allies we could and saved as many Jedi as we could for this. I can sense the hate you have for it. Will you join your former comrades in our quest to free the galaxy from the One who killed so many of your comrades and friends through his schemes to become emperor of the galaxy?" Blitz asks.

Hett frowns a bit more as he thinks. "Apprentice Hett, you still have much to learn. If you don't learn all the teachings I have, you won't win the war at all. Stay or send them away, forcefully if you have to." The ghost behind whispered loudly.

"XoXaan, be silent. Your age long since ended and the sith have long since surpassed you." Blitz says.

XoXaan glares at him. "You are not being spoken to and my apprentice here still hasn't answered."

"Hett, how long do you think the clone wars ended ago?" Blitz asks.

Hett blinks. "Around…nine years."

"It's been nearly twenty." Blitz informs.

Hett stops as he stares at him. "That can't be."

"Hett. She keeps you here, not telling such things. By the time you leave here by her allowing it, the emperor will have died a natural death of old age." Blitz says.

"Listen to him Master Hett, he speaks the truth. The ghosts of the dead sith can not be trusted." Ahsoka pleads.

"Don't listen. They are lying to falsely keep you away from your training to be strong enough to take down the empire." XoXaan said glaring at the two.

"What reason do we have to lie? We also are fighting the empire." Blitz says.

"But he must be strong enough. He has not finished his training…" She spits.

Blitz hold up a hand and XoXaan is suddenly silenced.

"Not bad." Ahsoka said smiling.

"Be gone." Blitz commands banishing her, forcing her to become one with the force.

XoXaan screeches loudly before she phases out of existence. "What did you…?" Hatt asks looking to him.

"The one thing I learned a lot about is force ghosts, even how to purify them and make them become one with the force." Blitz says.

Ahsoka raises an eyebrow. "You purified an old sith ghost?"

"Yes, though it is tiring." Blitz says.

"How much energy is needed?" Ahsoka asks slightly interested.

"Enough to tire you out for around five hours." Blitz said blinking as his head slouches a bit. "Beginner of course. Mine is two hours."

"So Master Hett, will you now join us?" Ahsoka asks.

Hett looks to where XoXaan was before looking to them. "I don't have anything here to hold me. I will."

"Thank you, master." Ahsoka says.

Blitz sighs. "So…anything of interest that should be taken?"

"Nothing here." Hett says as Ahsoka helped Blitz out through the door.

Blitz nods. "Good. Because we are leaving and need to prepare."

"The force seems to be with us." Ahsoka says.

"For now." Blitz says.

Blizzard hums happily as he flicks his tail before he sees Blitz walk through the front doors. "Hi, dad."

Blitz sighs and looks to him smiling before stopping. "Not bad a catch." He said seeing him sit in the lap of another stallion and a mare beside him wearing some citadel clothing. "Be happy."

Blizzard chuckles. "I am." He said leaning back into the stallion who wraps his hooves around his waist as the mare leans on them.

Blitz smiles almost sadly before walking on down the hall and hears giggling and looks to an open door and sees Sunshine laying her head on Mileia's lap as they watched something and Mileia pets Sunshine's mane.

Blitz smiles to them as they didn't notice him and continued on before seeing Azure leaning on a windowsill as he polishes his weapons. "Hey, dad." He said as he kept concentrating on the polishing.

"I expect you now know about the weight of leadership?" Blitz asks.

Azure nods slowly before looking to him. "It's tough. That much is true. But still dad…little bro…what is going on?"

"Don't worry." Blitz says patting his eldest head.

Azure frowns. "Dad, I can't help him if I don't know what's going on."

"His moms will help him." Blitz says.

Azure sighs. "Fine." He said before going back to his polishing.

Blitz pats his back as he walks on. "He'll be better." He said as he continues down the hall before spotting the fallen Arcane let go sitting and leaning on the wall near his door and Terra slightly glaring at it as she looks a bit worried to his door. "Staring at it won't help." Blitz said walking past.

Terra looks to him at that. "His aura is changing. Don't think I didn't notice that."

Blitz hums. "I know about it. But that doesn't mean he's back. He knows about your connection to him so let him figure it out. If he can do this…" He says pointing to the fallen looking at him. "He can deal with your end soon."

Terra frowns. "I'm just going to ask him myself." She said before pushing open the door and stops in the doorway. "He's not scheduled for a mission is he?"

"Waffle." Pinkie says.

They all look toward Pinkie holding a plate of waffles. "Um…okay…" Terra says picking one up and looks it over. "Have you seen Arcane?"

"Waffle time." Pinkie says.

Blitz blinks before slowly backing off as Pinkie holds the waffle plate up to the fallen as it picks one up and treats it like a live grenade. "Always the ice breaker." Blitz says to himself before hearing some happy humming and leans over to a doorway and sees Tek looking at his screens as always. "Hey, son." He says walking in.

"Is momma Pinkie still going on about waffles?" Tek asks.

Blitz sighs. "Unfortunately. I just had a run in with her. Please tell me you are not doing anything waffle related."

Tek smiles. "Well…other than trying to exclude waffles on my searches and building an object excluder field…" He mutters at the end. "I am finding out about lost inventions." He said as he looks at old human photos.

"How about any progress hacking into those heavily encrypted imperial databases?" Blitz asks.

"Oh. We decided to use the processing power of dead computers that hasn't been used in so many years and use the hacking system with that. So they can't be traced back to us and would more than likely head to a dead warehouse. As for the progress…eh. Around fifty percent done. Just…give it time…" Tek says still going through the old photos and leans in on some.

"He's been staring at the old archives ever since I gave him access." Eve says walking up and pats Tek's back who seems to be drooling now.

"Eve, smack your husband to be." Blitz instructs.

Eve blinks and looks to Tek before raising a hoof. "OW!" Tek groans as he rubs his face. "The heck?" He asks turning to them.

"Back to reality, I see." Blitz says.

Tek sighs as he kept rubbing the hoof mark on his face. "And learning about ways to give us free energy."

"Uh huh. Minerva!" Blitz calls.

Tek goes wide-eyed. "Wait. You don't have to bring mom in!" He pleads as they hear a happy humming. "Eve! Help me!" He pleads with her.

"What do you think? Something like Vinyl's mane for the color theme?" Eve asks.

Blitz hums as he looks her over. "No. It needs to fit the techno theme. Maybe some electronic green." He says as they ignore Tek as Minerva walks in and goes up to him.

"Yes, love?" Minerva asks leaning against him.

"Our son is getting distracted from planning his wedding." Blitz says.

Minerva slowly looks over to Tek shivering from the smiling look she was giving off. "Is that so?"

Blitz nods before they hear Tek struggling. "Help me! I'm being dragged away to be reprogrammed!" Tek yells uselessly as Eve kept looking over wedding colors.

"Electronic green, right?" Eve asks making a helping picture.

"That is a suggestion from me." Blitz says before hugging her.

Eve smiles as she kept making choices. "Thank you." She says looking up to him.

Blitz hums. "Now enjoy yourselves okay? And make sure you have the best wedding ever. Money, forget the limit…though don't buy out the entire solar system at that…that's a big limit."

Eve lightly smiles. "I know how long to run a loop for."

"Go have fun." Blitz says.

Eve chuckles as she walks off. "And I will check into the free energy thing. We are still having fights and disagreements on this planet because of it." She said passing a screen running a scan on the old lost inventions.

Blitz rolls his eyes. "Like husband, like wife." He muses walking away.

"Brother Arcane is on Omega." Eve suddenly said.

"What about my granddaughters, the princesses? Is Luna with her P&P group?" Blitz asks.

Eve nods. "They are in the middle of the game. One of the guards is trying to stay his diligent self. Princess Celestia is staring at paperwork, hoping it would catch on fire."

"I will call Lulu and Celly." Blitz says.

"Already done." Eve said walking away as his omnitool started ringing.

"Go have fun." Blitz says patting her mane before connecting to Luna.

"Hello, yes, hello, we are busy." Luna says as she stares off-screen.

"How is my level twenty-six rogue?" Blitz asks smirking looking at her in her fantasy styled leather armor with a hood and mask.

Luna yelps as he heard clattering and Luna looking shocked. "Um…grandfather…I didn't expect this."

"Having fun?" Blitz asks.

"Um…" Luna looks to the messed up board and frowning faces of the guards as they stare at the cluttered mess. "Sort of."

"I see. Well, I was just calling to check up on you and to inform you Minerva is getting Tek back on track with his wedding." Blitz says.

Luna starts to set up the pieces again. "I see. Me and sister are going to join soon once it is ready."

"I would think you would want to be there for your uncle's wedding." Blitz says.

"I will. We are all just waiting for the invitations and getting presents ready." Luna said.

"Ok, I will leave you to your game Lulu or would you prefer Winabell, the shadow bat?" Blitz asks.

Luna looks to the shadow guard as she shrinks down a bit below the table. "Just leave us to our game."

"Have fun." Blitz says ending the call with her as he waits for Celestia to answer.

"How does this newfangled thing work?!" Celestia yells as she comes on and seems to be pounding the communicator.

"You answered Tia." Blitz says smiling.

Celestia stops and stares at the screen. "Oh. Um…what do you need grandfather?"

"Calling to check on you and see how you are doing." Blitz says noticing her mane is a little bit of a mess, most likely from being slept on moments ago.

Celestia clears her throat. "Well, I am fine at the moment."

"I interrupt a nap?" Blitz asks.

Celestia sighs and hangs her head. "Unfortunately."

"Go to bed Tia. You need the rest." Blitz instructs.

Celestia sighs. "Okay grandfather."

"See you later and hello my lovely Hurricane." Blitz says turning to the door.

Hurricane smiles as she walks up to him and hugs him. "Hi, honey." She said before looking at the screen. "Oh, my. You better get some sleep granddaughter."

"Yes, grandmother." Celestia says before trying to turn off the device.

"The red button that looks like a telephone." Blitz said rolling his eyes as he wraps a hoof around Hurricane watching amused. Soon Celestia cut the call and Blitz pets his pregnant wife's stomach. "So what have the latest revealed?" Blitz asks.

Hurricane smirks. "It's a healthy foal and we got a pegasus."

"Oh?" Blitz asks before raspberrying her.

Hurricane giggles and tries to push his head away. "Stop it."

"No." Blitz says before turning both into their humanoid form and leans her back as he holds her.

Hurricane hums as she looks up to him. "Strange you are still having fun with such an old mare."

"Why? You are my wife." Blitz says.

Hurricane smirks. "We never married back then. Which means…you got one more wedding to go through." She said poking his chest.

"Nope. We had our wedding you." Blitz says before starting to massage her breast.

Hurricane moans and leans into him. "Tease. You really want to do it while I'm carrying?"

"No. It's against the rules and besides, teasing you is as much fun." Blitz says.

Hurricane playfully frowns. "You little…"

"Be nice." Blitz said booping her nose.

Hurricane huffs. "Dick stallion."

Blitz sticks his tongue at her when he feels someone slap his flank.

"Care to tell me why my husband and co-wife is almost ready to get it down in Tek and Eve's room?" Twilight asks walking up smirking in her humanoid form.

"I am teasing Hurricane here as she is pregnant." Blitz says looking her over.

Twilight chuckled. "Is that why you are putting your hands literally down my pants?" She asks slapping his hand away.

"Oh yeah right. You have no pants Mrs. Robes." Blitz teases.

Twilight grins. "I needed a new look but also one for you to have easy access to some bug queen flank."

"What? You jealous that Hurricane is pregnant again?" Blitz teases.

Twilight hits his side. "I don't need another egg here Blitzy. Just that you calm down when messing with Hurricane here."

"I think I see the lust in her eyes." Hurricane teases.

Blitz wraps an arm around Twilight's waist. "Looks like she needs a round. Want to watch?" He asks Hurricane.

"Only if you get one of the Vinyls, an earth pony, and another pegasus in it as well." Hurricane says smirking.

Blitz laughs. "Only if you watch and enjoy yourself. I love to have a fivesome."

"Oh, I will like that…oh, what about for getting Ahsoka while we are at it?" Hurricane says smirking.

Blitz grins. "Oh. An alien species too? Well…she is resting here for a bit. Might as well."

"Shall I go get the mares?" Hurricane asks smirking.

Blitz chuckles as he lets go of her and hold onto Twilight. "Please do. I will take the queen here to her chambers and make sure she is ready."

"Now wait a mome…" Twilight was cut off by Blitz's hand onto her mouth.

"I'll see you in a bit." Hurricane says walking off as Twilight pulls his hand off of her mouth.

"You're insatiable." Twilight said huffing.

"No. That is you as you are already aroused." Blitz says smirking.

Twilight rolling her eyes. "Let's just…"

Eve looks back to the spot where they were and sees a teleportation mark. "Mortals."

Arcane groans as he laid his head on the counter.

"Tough day?" A mare asks cleaning a glass.

Arcane groans more. "Please tell me you at least have daisy water."

"We also have spirited daisy water." The mare says.

Arcane raises a hoof before another hoof slams down next to him. "Give two shots." Arcane hears another mare say.

Arcane sighs and turns his head. "Hey."

"Oh, your back?" She asks looking at him.

Arcane slowly nods. "I needed to get away for a bit. You on break or I can buy your time?" He asks yawning a bit.

The mare nods and smiles. "Got the bits, big boy?"

Arcane just messes with his omnitool and her own beeps. "Would this cover it all?" He asks getting up and taking his filled glass.

The mare looks at her payment account and stops at the amount given. "You must be tired." She said following and taking her own glass.

"Yeah. So shall we go to your private room?" Arcane asks.

The mare nods and leads him to a small room and lets him in. "So…sleep or just simple talk?" She asks closing and locks the door behind her.

"How are you?" Arcane asks laying on the couch.

The mare shrugs as she sits on the table in front of him. "Fine. Customers getting crazy till Aria got us ponies an area all for us. Now…it's just stallions and the occasional mare taking me."

"You fine here?" Arcane asks catching her off guard.

The mare blinks slightly confused at him. "Um…yeah. I make a decent living here. Just need to duck at my place when an alarm sounds and that's it."

"Are you sure?" Arcane asks looking to her.

The mare slowly nods before raising an eyebrow. "What brought this on?"

"I have been thinking." Arcane says.

The mare tilts her head. "About?"

"The future." Arcane says.

"Doesn't everypony?" She asks shrugging. "I have seen multiple stallions and some mares come through thinking about it all. Even the past." She said taking a small sip.

"What about you?" Arcane asks.

The mare hums. "I'm actually fine. I got a set life here and it doesn't matter." She said relaxing more on the table more and doesn't realize she spreads her legs a little to show off the dancer outfit she is wearing.

"Really? No unresolved issues or any wants?" Arcane says.

The mare hums and looks to him at that. "What's bringing this on? I thought you would ask for any info on anything going on here."

"I feel like you aren't telling the truth for some reason." Arcane says.

The mare raises an eyebrow. "There isn't much to tell or rather you aren't asking the right questions. What do you want to know?"

"You want to get married and have a child?" Arcane asks bluntly.

The mare coughs on her drink and looks at him shocked. "What?!"

"I have a feeling it is an unresolved issue with you." Arcane says.

The mare frowns slightly. "Slightly. I am slightly miffed, but not that much."

"Only slightly?" Arcane asks unconvinced.

The mare puffs some of her mane out of her face. "Okay. A bit. But that doesn't mean I want to. Would you really raise a foal on this rock?"

"You could always head back to our home planet." Arcane says.

The mare stares at him before sighing. "I would like to go back…but I don't have that much of an education and my resume would be this." She said running a hoof along her outfit. "Not a great start for a job back home."

"Oh pish posh. It's not that hard to get a job back on the planet nowadays. Especially in the shipbuilders, they need all the heads they can get to keep it all straight." Arcane says dismissively.

She looks to him surprised. "Really…that easy?"

"Oh yeah. Mostly you would be an aide that helps by checking timetables and reports and stuff. The economy is booming to the point we are considering building droids to take over a few sections." Arcane informs.

The mare hums. "I see. Maybe…" She says looking to the side.

"And if you brought a little gift like a name of one of those ponies, griffons, and zebras in black, the government would reward you." Arcane adds.

The mare brings up a hoof to her chin. "Hum. Sounds promising."

"So come on. Forget about professional silence and tell me." Arcane says trying to tempt her.

The mare sighs. "It does sound promising. Fine. I guess I can move out of here."

"I'll clear it with Aria. All you need to do tell me the name." Arcane says.

The mare slowly nods. "I was able to listen in. One called the griffon Skyhawk. Another called the zebra Striker. And one of the dancers once called the pony Zenbar. That enough?"

"That is great." Arcane says.

"Mr. Skyhawk. We need to talk." A pony in a black suit and sunglasses says to the drinking griffon.

"Eh. What for?" The griffon asks turning to him.

"Question?" The pony asks pointing a blaster in the griffon's face.

The griffon blinks. "Um…nope. None here."

"Then get up. There is a speeder waiting for us outside." The pony instructs.

The griffon sighs as he gets up and follows the pony as the zebra and pony look on in confusion.

"Mr. Striker?" A zebra in a black suit with black glasses asks.

"Tell me you have found Boba." Blitz instructs, not paying attention to the three being interrogated.

"Hardly." Arcane says as he sits by him watches the interrogation. "He's a tough one to fine, I'll give him that."

"Found him." Twilight says happily.

"Or can we wait for that." Arcane says deadpan, turning around with him to Twilight.

"One of my changelings spotted him in Jabba's palace on Tatooine." Twilight explained.

Blitz hums. "Really?" He asks thinking of ways and then smiling.

"I know that look. That look means trouble." Twilight says playfully. "Just don't blow things up." She says before walking away.

Arcane raises an eyebrow and looks to Blitz. "How many times?"

Blitz chuckles. "More so even before you were born."

"Blitz, I just got done talking to master Hett. Master Obi-wan is on Tatooine." Ahsoka says over the com, stopping Blitz dead.

"This is a problem?" Arcane asks.

"No. Arcane, I am leaving you and Azure in charge of a special fighter projects that need to be finished by the time I return. The XFA-27 and the ADF-01 FALKEN. They will be the models that join the X-02 Wyvern in this generation of fighters." Blitz informs. Arcane blinks as Blitz starts to walk past. "Don't scratch the paint." He adds smiling a bit.

"Um…okay." Arcane says still blinking surprised.

"Really, you're letting them oversee those?" Twilight asks in disbelief.

"Yes, I am." Blitz informs.

"Then I guess we can hope he does a great job." Twilight says hopefully.

Blitz hums. "I have an idea." He says walking off. "They still have time before they have to get to it."

"What?!" Three voices call out.

Blitz grins. "Yes. The foals room needs a new fresh coat of paint since it's been a while. So…enjoy." He says before walking out.

Sunshine, Azure, and Arcane look around the large room. "This is going to take a while." Arcane says before floating over a paint can and brush. "I'll be in this corner."

Azure groans. "I thought we were going to watch over some ships and jets."

"We were. Maybe dad just wants us to do something else other than…I guess shoot…saber…magic." Arcane says to himself as he tries to figure it out.

"I think it's fun." Sunshine cheers on the ceiling.

"Um…sis?" Azure asks looking up and gets some pink paint onto his head. "Sis?" He calls louder.

"Yes, bro?" She calls out smirking as she kept painting.

"Paint on the walls." Azure orders pointing a hoof at her.

"Let her be." Arcane says walking by to get more paint.

Azure blinks and looks at the wall to see it done. "How…?"

Arcane just holds up a paint can with his magic before taking the paint out with his magic. "Magic." He says making a thin line of paint and carefully moves it to the wall.

"Sunshine, down, now." Azure orders as he watches her paint almost half now.

"Nope." She calls flicking the brush and makes paint splash onto him.

"Sunshine." Azure calls warningly as he tries to wipe his face.

"Uh huh." Sunshine says giggling as Arcane rolls his eyes and carefully placed the line of paint onto the wall.

"Two sides done." Arcane says walking past Azure.

"This isn't working." Blitz says shaking his head.

"You think? Old tricks like this never work on us." Twilight says raising an eyebrow. "We got Sunshine…daughter of Pinkie Pie so we know her deal. Azure, a stickler to rules…like me at times. And Arcane, who just wants it over with." Twilight lists off as they watch Arcane finish the room and Azure and Sunshine still arguing.

"And now me who has to go. See you soon love." Blitz says walking away.

Twilight nods as she looks back to the Azure and Sunshine still arguing as Arcane looks to his omnitool.

"Are you ready?" Blitz asks looking to Ahsoka in his humanoid form.

"No. Not really. But we have no choice." Ahsoka says looking to the building.

"Don't worry about it. We won't see him for long." Blitz says looking to Jabba's palace.

"And that's what worries me. Even a second, many things can happen." Ahsoka says.

"Keep those lightsabers ready just in case Jabba doesn't want to give him up. He employed Boba as a favor to Jango Fett that he never got to repay in his life and he has been making quite a name for himself since then." Blitz informed, pulling her hood up.

"Well then…let's hope blaster fire doesn't come from it." Ahsoka says frowning.

"Boba may also not come on his own, but this involves all the clans, no exceptions." Sky says, Ahsoka knowing he was smiling at her.

"Sure. Just try to keep things quiet." Ahsoka says chuckling.

"I intend to. Don't want the empire catching wind of it. Speaking of which, before we go, remind me of the three imperial spies in his court." Blitz requests.

"And you wi…blast them of course." Ahsoka says stopping her own question as they walk towards the palace.

Upon getting to the door, an eye stock came out and looked at them. "Tell Jabba Southern Cross has come to speak with him personally." Blitz calls frowning.

The eye stares at them before pulling itself back into the door and then clanking was heard as the door was pulled up and opened.

"Well, that will get his attention." Blitz says walking in with Ahsoka.

"You think? You announced your name." Ahsoka asks sarcastically.

"Would he know how serious this was then?" Blitz asks seriously, moving past the gamorrean guards.

"Only if you start shooting." Ahsoka says shaking her head.

"That is nothing new here." Blitz says teasingly as they made their way to the throne room. The moment they entered, everyone immediately went silent.

"Like I said, hard to miss." Ahsoka says frowning as they look to the large slug looking alien. "And there he is."

"Jabba, it has been awhile." Blitz says casually.

Jabba starts talking in Huttese before a droid started translating. "The illustrious Jabba bids you welcome. Though he inquires why you have come personally instead of just contacting him via communications."

"I have recently learned that Boba Fett is in your employ. Is that correct?" Blitz asks.

"Yes is he. Why do you ask?" The droid translates.

"I have business with him. He is needed as heir to the Fett clan to participate in the clans meet. This is not for debate." Blitz informs.

Jabba seems to stare at them before speaking again. "He is about to leave on his ship."

"Then call him here. The empire doesn't need to catch wind of this." Blitz informs.

Jabba grunts before speaking to someone else who quickly walks off.

"Speaking of the empire." Blitz says before taking out one of his blaster pistols and fires three times.

"And you hit something." Ahsoka says smelling something burning.

"Those three were spies for the empire." Blitz informs.

"At least we got them…unless they send information back all the time." Ahsoka says thinking on it.

"Nope. I set up jammers on my armor for this." Blitz whispers to her as they wait.

Ahsoka hums as she taps her foot. "At least we got something coming our way. Soon, you would need to choose." Ahsoka says looking to him.

Blitz said nothing waiting till a Mandalorian warrior walked in.

Everyone in the room stops and stares at the three as the warrior walks up to Blitz. "Don't you ever fix those breaks? They might shatter?" Blitz asks sarcastically before motioning for them to leave.

Seeing this, Boba followed the two out of Jabba's palace and into the desert where they were alone. "Do you know why I have come?" Blitz asks bluntly.

"The clan meeting is coming up. What else?" He asks frowning under his helmet.

"You have to attend Boba." Blitz informs.

"I don't." He says crossing his arms.

"You do. War is upon us and we need to be united." Blitz lectured.

Boba scoffs while Ahsoka rolls her eyes at the attitude. 'Almost like Blitz way back then.'

"Boba, you can't escape it or would you prefer everything your father did be destroyed or made meaningless?" Blitz asks hitting Boba where it hurts the most and freezes him.

Boba stares at them as Ahsoka prepares for anything he might do until she heard him sigh. "Fine."

"Go to my clan's planet then. That is where the clans will meet." Blitz informs.

"Fine." He says before walking off to his ship.

"No. My wife, it is time." Blitz says looking into the desert.

Ahsoka sighs. "I'm actually a bit scared of what we might find."

"Don't be love." Blitz says moving close to her.

Ahsoka smiles a little and leans on him. "Thanks."

"Now, how about a little love you sexy thing?" Blitz asks smirking, starting to take off his helmet.

Ahsoka gives a sly smirk and a raised eyebrow. "Really? Before meeting an old master?"

"He wasn't your master." Blitz reminds before kissing her.

Ahsoka yelps before kissing back and holding him. "Geez. Take it easy." She says pulling her head back.

"With you?" Blitz asks.

Ahsoka just bonks him on the head lightly.

"I'll tell you what. I will take you either on the way back or when we get home." Blitz whispers into her ear.

Ahsoka smiles. "Naughty boy." She sang.

"Naughty wife." Blitz counters.

Ahsoka lightly taps his head. "Let's go."

"Who is driving?" Blitz asks putting his helmet back on.

"You are. Who else could know where he is?" Ahsoka chuckling.

"You. You are the one who talked to master Hett. I didn't." Blitz reminds.

Ahsoka pushes his shoulder. "At least we will find him."

"Yes. Now, which way?" Blitz asks getting in the speeder.

Ahsoka points to the dunes ahead. "In that direction. We might see something." She says before getting in the speeder as well.

"Alright." Blitz says driving.

"Ok. I have to ask. Where did you learn to speak Tusken?" Blitz asks looking to his wife.

"When I knew you were going to talk to raiders one day…" Ahsoka starts before holding up her omnitool. "Also Twilight helped set this up."

"But how?" Blitz asks in disbelief.

"A combination of Skyguy's old tricks and words, Eve's help in gathering what written and spoken language there is…and my own brain." Ahsoka lists off smirking.

"And still we don't know. The only clue we have is he defended that moisture farm from him and his tribe decades ago, but is he watching it or was he tracking them?" Blitz asks looking at the moisture farm with electrobinoculars from nearly out of sight.

"Who knows? Some masters have strange agendas on their own." Ahsoka says watching normally.

"Well I know one thing, we have reached a dead end so. We must rely on the force." Blitz informs.

"Want to come back here and we do it together?" Ahsoka asks as she lays back in the back seat.

"No. I mean we meditate and see if the force will direct us to him like with master Hett." Blitz says looking back to her.

"Well, maybe you should start. I'll follow." She says shaking her head.

"Yeah right. You are just sunbathing. I really should have brought Terran, he would love this planet." Blitz mumbles assuming a meditation position.

"Though he would have sunbathed too by rolling on his back…and begging for belly rubs." Ahsoka says chuckling as she follows his example and meditates too.

The two meditate for hours, trying to sense anything in the force until they felt two force signatures. One faint and not as clearly a fledgling force user who had yet to start realizing they were one and then there was a far more powerful one mile away from where they were.

"Got him?" Ahsoka asks.

"Yeah, it has to be him. Shall we go and greet him?" Blitz asks.

"Yep. Drive on good sir." Ahsoka requests humorously.

"We should make it by sundown." Blitz says tossing her a packet.

Ahsoka smiles as she opens it and starts to eat it. "Go on and drive good sir. We better make a good time here."

"You're right. We don't have time." Blitz says taking a bite as well before starting up the speeder and zooms off in the direction they felt it come from.

"As least you're a good driver." Ahsoka says grinning.

"Why thank you for volunteering to be the first to meet him." Blitz says smirking.

"Oh fuck you." Ahsoka says frowning.

"You do already." Blitz quips back.

"I mean yourself." She says rolling her eyes.

"No need. You will do that to me." Blitz quips again.

"Then grab your wives." Ahsoka quips back to him.

"Well, one is with me right now." Blitz counters.

"So why not do anything?" Ahsoka asks looking to him.

"Hey, you elected me driver and he likes you more than me last time we met with him." Blitz says.

"He does like you…you are just…" Ahsoka tries to describe.

"Without feminine charms." Blitz teases.

"Being nice." Ahsoka finishes.

"But seriously, you first. Go see the other one who you saw as a master." Blitz says seriously.

Ahsoka sighs. "But are you ready?"

"No, many of our weapons and ship designs are not finished being developed yet." Blitz says.

"I mean you." Ahsoka asks leaning over.

"I am prepared. In fact, my skills have never been more honed and I can tell from here, physically, my skills will start to waver with age." Blitz says.

"You are definitely old." Ahsoka says smiling.

"Aren't you a mother as well?" Blitz asks.

"But you are the oldest." Ahsoka points out.

"How am I your kid?" Blitz says trying to be cute there.

Ahsoka bonks him on the head.

"So love, when were you going to tell me?" Blitz asks.

"Tell you what?" Ahsoka asks leaning back in her seat.

"That you are pregnant with our third child." Blitz says soberly.

Ahsoka sighs. "When?"

"When we were meditating." Blitz says.

Ahsoka looks to him. "I am since you know."

"Tell me, how does it feel knowing you have another one on the way?" Blitz asks.

"Still scared…even more so when we are this close to war." Ahsoka says shaking her head.

"Still, we can't change it and deep down, I know you are happy." Blitz comments as a partially hidden building come into view.

"I am. I'm still glad to have met you." Ahsoka smiles.

"We are here. You ready to meet with him?" Blitz asks.

"Nope. And that's the fun of it." She says as the speeder comes to a stop before she gets out.

"I will enter in a bit." Blitz informs turning off the vehicle.

Ahsoka nods as she approached the building slowly to not alarm anyone.

'If I am feeling old, how are you Master Obi-wan pushing around fifty-five?' Blitz thinks as he waits in peace before Ahsoka calls him inside.

"Blitz, master Obi-wan is in here!" Ahsoka calls out.

"Alright. I am coming in." Blitz says getting up and walking over.

Blitz yawns as he steps inside the modest home and raises an eyebrow. "Wow. Not bad."

"Master Obi-wan, I believe you remember Blitz." Ahsoka says.

Blitz yawns again as he rubs his eyes. "Sorry. Long drive. Lazy legs here wanted me to be the chauffeur." Blitz says teasingly to Ahsoka as he looks to the old man now sitting in front of him.

"You don't have to put up the act. I have a good idea about how you really are. Though, I am surprised you found me." Obi-wan says calmly.

"I see your mind is as sharp as ever master Obi-wan. As for how we found you…well, the force led us to master Hett and he told us of your encounter and from there we had an idea where you were." Blitz informs.

"And of course tongue slips." He says chuckling.

"Hard to forget the one who severed your arm with a lightsaber." Blitz reminds.

Obi-wan just waves it off. "Any case, I'm assuming you are wondering why I am not out there or trying to find you and the others?"

"I can only guess you are either in hiding or watching over someone. Maybe on that moisture farm nearby." Blitz says.

"Well, at least he's still bright enough." Obi-wan says chuckling.

"One of the reasons why I married him." Ahsoka remarks.

"And you are still happy. That's another piece of good news." He says still chuckling before stopping. "So…how goes the war?"

"The empire has been consolidating themselves since the end of the clone wars and recently have gotten bolder and started to harass our borders. Though because of this, we acquired the empire's latest star destroyer, the Imperial II class star destroyer and two CR90 corvettes." Blitz informs.

"Not bad. I assume you are going to put them to good use?" Obi-wan asks raising an eyebrow.

"We devoted a full section of our dry docks. Taking it apart and learning all we could from it and used that to improve our own ship designs and building. Now it is my turn. We're you the one who mained Anakin as badly as he was?" Sky asks.

Obi-wan stares at them before sighing sadly. "Unfortunately, I had to. He was too far gone."

"I know…one of his children is at that moisture farm, aren't they?" Blitz asks bluntly.

"Yes. And I have chosen to watch over him until he has grown ready." Obi-wan says shaking his head. "I wish I didn't have to."

"Get him and bring him with us. The Jedi order yet exists on my planet." Blitz says surprising him.

"And what if the empire tracks us. This can bring the war early on and I do not want the young boy to be harmed or ready for the empire just yet." Obi-wan argues.

"The war is already beginning. The Jedi are readying and so are my sith. The boy needs to be trained and you alone can't do it. You need help. You need the others. The Jedi were never alone. They always had each other to lean on when things got hard." Blitz says seriously.

"And what do you say, teach him the values of war? Let him learn only war?" Obi-wan asks looking to him.

"No. Teach him the force and let him learn how complex the universe is." Blitz says looking to Ahsoka and, more accurately, her stomach.

"The dark side included?" Obi-wan asks crossing his arms.

"The Jedi's teaching are flawed and you know it. I can't say mine are any better, but I can say one thing, they are the mortal way, trying to find the truth and not just suppress or dominate. The Jedi way has failed so it is time to reevaluate everything and forge a new way." Blitz says with absolute conviction.

Obi-wan stares at him as Ahsoka watches on, wondering if he will even accept. "Find the other, bring her and I shall follow." Obi-wan orders.

"I cannot for I would not know where to look. I only guessed the son was here from what I know and the evidence of your being here. Besides, Vader now knows of their existence." Blitz informs.

"It's somewhat hard on that. Their connection to the force is low at this point." Obi-wan points out.

"And yet we found you and him." Blitz counter argues.

"Only because you found someone else." Obi-wan adds.

"Master please, it is for the best." Ahsoka tries.

Obi-wan looks to her before looking back at Blitz. "We will find our way off the planet and to yours. I'm sure you have other things to do. Besides, children have a thing for long goodbyes."

"Very well. Just please hurry as soon we will be securing the borders more." Blitz informs.

Obi-wan nods and gets up and walks out of his home after he grabbed a nearby bag.

"Thank you, master. I hope you will come visit my house. I would love for you to meet my two kids." Ahsoka says.

"And there's goes another piece of my brain cells." He calls jokingly.

"It will soon be three." Blitz reminds and the room goes silent.

"Why do you have to point it out?" Ahsoka asks.

Blitz waits for it before Obi-wan finally manages a, "Congratulations."

"Thank you. Ahsoka dear, don't you have something to say?" Blitz asks leaning onto her shoulder.

"Thank you, master." Ahsoka says nicely before elbowing Blitz in the stomach, making him double over.

"It is no problem. It was nice meeting you both again." Obi-wan says smiling.

"It has been a pleasure master. Now you march!" Ahsoka orders at Blitz.

"Yeah, yeah." Blitz says walking off with her.

"You forgive me now?" Blitz asks laying beside her with both of them in pony form as the ship travels through hyperspace on autopilot.

"How could I ever be mad at you?" Ahsoka asks laying her head on his chest.

"No. Let's see." Blitz says before kissing her as he starts to get on top of her.

Ahsoka giggles and pushes him away a bit. "Easy. Got a third child here."

"I know. Now let me lay on you, my wife." Blitz says snuggling with her.

"Cute." Ahsoka says hugging him.

"Who is a good wife?" Blitz asks playfully.

"Who is a good husband?" She counters smirking.

Blitz just raspberry her.

Ahsoka laughs and hugs him tight. "Stop!"

"No." Blitz says defiantly.

"Quit it!" Ahsoka yells laughing trying to push him away.

"What can you do to convince me?" Blitz asks before feeling her shift and a hand suddenly pets him.

"How's that?" Ahsoka asks smirking.

Blitz smiles as his hind leg starts tapping.

"Good. Now will you do what your wife tells you?" Ahsoka asks chuckling.

"Not unless it is what she wants to do in bed to an extent." Blitz says.

Ahsoka stops scratching his head. "Then I guess I will stop." She says crossing her arms.

"Oh, then I will do this." Blitz says before assuming his humanoid form before starting to kiss her again.

Ahsoka smiles into the kiss and tries to hug him before she rolls on top and sits up on him. "So what are you going to do now?

"This." Blitz says starting to feel up her rear.

Ahsoka smirks. "I mean what next? We have a lot to do now."

"Home and await the clan meeting." Blitz informs before making her moan.

Ahsoka smiles as she leans down. "Then want to sleep on it?"

"I thought you would never ask." Blitz says smirking.

Chapter 2 (Part 3)

Arcane sighs as his ship was on approach. It had been nearly six months but it had felt like it was decades since he was back home.

“Landing area coming up. Welcome to your home…I should bring down the brightness on my viewing systems.” Raider 8 says almost sarcastically.

Arcane ignored his droid partner as he came in for a landing at the military port while wondering if anyone would be there to meet him.

“Okay. Now get out of here because I have to clean up after you.” Raider 8 says as Arcane huffs and grabs his bag as he heads out.

Arcane yawns as he steps out onto the landing port to see that hardly anypony was there. Probably to keep his job a secret still. ‘Not really needed since we took down so many of them…where the heck was the jokers?’ He asks himself as he starts to walk out of the base now.

“Where are you going?” Blitz suddenly asks from the side and makes Arcane jump in place.

Arcane slowly looks to her before smiling a bit. “Hey dad…I was able to have a great time playing the cards.”

Blitz chuckles. “Yeah. I know. I have a copy of the deck.”

Arcane raises an eyebrow now. “Where were the joker cards anyway?”

“Reserved for a new target we previously didn’t know about.” Blitz informs.

“Oh…so…did mom stop crying yet?” Arcane asks almost chuckling.

Blitz holds a hoof up and moves it side to side. “Eh…”

Arcane sighs. “Fine. I’ll go see mom and the others.” He says walking off now.

“I thought I smelled you.” A familiar voice says.

Arcane blinks and looks behind him and sees Vinyl standing there. “Uh…hey, mom. I’m just about to head back home to see everypony.”

“Oh, who is a good boy?” Vinyl asks ruffling his mane.

Arcane pushes her hoof off. “Mom. Seriously?”

“I am my cute little foal.” Vinyl says smiling.

Arcane rolls his eyes and looks around. “Um…anypony else here?”

“I didn’t expect you my rave wife.” Blitz says, letting her know he was there as well.

Vinyl chuckles. “If one of my foals comes back home, you can bet I am coming here to greet them.”

“So what about the other foals?” Blitz asks moving beside her.

“Eh. There are here.” Vinyl says shrugging.

“Oh, you don’t fool me. You love being called mama.” Blitz says smirking.

Vinyl sticks her tongue out at him. “Shut up.”

“No.” Blitz says being cheekily as Arcane smiles as he was no longer the subject of Vinyl.

Arcane sighs as he walks off again and heads back to the castle. On the way there, he notices how the base has changed. Including new buildings and warehouses full of different vehicles and ships. All while the Fallen were training in the training and experiment fields nearby. ‘Huh…I wonder if she is still guarding my door…wonder if the changelings are still?’

“Who is a cute vampire mare?” Blitz suddenly says petting Vinyl in his human form.

Vinyl purrs and leans into his scratching. “That feels so good.”

“Say it.” Blitz says as Arcane stifles a laugh.

“Me. I am the cute vampire.” Vinyl says showing more of her neck in his arms.

“And my wife.” Blitz says turning back and holds her in his hooves.

Vinyl giggles before noticing something. “Aw. He’s gone. I wanted to hug the big boy.”

“You know he is…” Blitz stops as he is suddenly held like a stuffed animal.

“Who’s a cute little commander?” Vinyl teases scratching his head.

“That would be me.” Blitz says smiling looking up to her.

Vinyl giggles and keeps scratching him. “You are so cute.”

“Look who’s talking.” Blitz says.

Vinyl sticks her tongue out at him.

Arcane quickly shuts the door behind him and sighs in relief that he didn’t run into anyone else. “I must have been gone for years.”

“Nope.” A voice sounding like Vinyl says from the ceiling.

“Hey mama Vinyl.” Arcane says looking to up to see Moon hanging from the ceiling. “Moon? What are you doing up there?”

“You know…just…” Moon, the eldest of S. Vinyl’s foal starts.

“Don’t you dare.” Arcane says.

“Hanging around.” Moon smirks finishing, despite her brother.

Arcane groans and facehooves. “I swear. Your jokes are as bad as momma S. Vinyl.”

“Neh.” Moon sticks her tongue out teasingly before letting go of the ceiling and flies down to him and hugs him. “Missed you big bro.”

Arcane smiles and hugs her back. “Missed you too. Where’s everypony else?”

“Here, there, everywhere they want. So when are you bringing home a mare?” She asks.

Arcane groans out loud and looks to the side annoyed. “Seriously. First second back and that’s the first question asked?”

Moon shrugs. “Have to keep mommy informed on what you do.”

Arcane rolls his eyes. “I’m not getting with anypony. And even if I did, I would probably outlive them. It’s not worth it.”

“Uh huh. Should I tell your handler that?” Moon asks freezing him.

“Uh…handler? What handler? I didn’t say handler. Don’t you dare speak a word of this to anypony.” Arcane threatens lowly to her as he gives a glare.

“Neh.” Moon sticks her tongue again at him. “Already done. Momma Pinkie is going to set up your wedding already.”

“Gah!” Arcane yells to the ceiling and sees a few changelings looking at him. “Yo. Go on. Tell mom I’m here. And as for…” He stops as he looks down and sees Moon gone. “Man. I hate it when they all do that.”

“My prince.” A changeling says bowing as he steps up to Arcane. “Queen Sparkle would like to see you. She is in the library right now.”

Arcane sighs. “I’m going to need my armor.” He says to himself as he walks off to the library. “Thanks Gary.”

The changeling, Gary, smiles a bit as he feels Twilight’s emotions running through him and the others.

Arcane peeks through the door and looks around before tiptoeing through the library as he tries to find his mother. “Mom?” He calls out softly as he turns a corner and gets knocked down as a purple blur knocks into his chest. “Ow.”

Twilight smiles as she hugs her big boy tightly. “Hey Arcane. Welcome back.” She says happily squeezing his neck.

Arcane chokes and gags. “That’s great mom. Now let me breath.”

Twilight giggles as she lets go of him and let’s him take a big gulp of air. “Good. You have no scars which means you didn’t get shot on the job.”

Arcane scoffs as he gets up. “Trust me, that’s a regular thing. Hey mom.” He says smiling as he hugs her now.

Twilight smiles greatly as she hugs him more softly now. “My baby boy. So glad you are back. Want some tea?”

Arcane shakes his head as he lets go of her. “Nah. I rather get some sleep. Starship lag. Besides, can’t go around smelling like this.”

Twilight takes a few whiffs and recoils a bit as she holds her nose. “Nope. Can’t do that. We’re going to have a family get together tonight through. Would be great to have you there.” She says nasally.

Arcane chuckles a bit. “Okay. Shower first though.”

“In total, that is about seventy ponies and Togruta.” Twilight says, recalling all the wives and foals still on the planet.

Arcane sweatdrops. “Are you sure I haven’t been gone long?”

“Shower mister.” Twilight says almost playfully as she points toward the door.

Arcane holds his hooves up as he smiles. “Okay, okay. Geez.” He says before leaving and heads out to find his room.

“And Arcane?” Twilight calls and gets him to look back at her. “Welcome back home.” She says leaving him smiling now.

Arcane smiles greatly as he heads down the hall and notices how most of the doors have been personalized since he has been gone and must be for every single brother and sister he has now. “Times change.” He says to himself before coming across his door and frowns slightly at the Fallen still sitting beside it. “When I said the guards don’t have to guard anymore, that meant you as well.”

“I am not. I was asked to give you this.” The Fallen says handing him a datapad.

Arcane blinks and takes it as he looks it over. “New tanks for you?” He asks looking back to her.

The Fallen nods. “They are our new armaments on the field. The leader wanted you to know about this so you can prepare for any plans you may have about it.”

“Oh, for the war to come. The war we are already making moves in before it officially starts.” Arcane says. The Fallen just looks at him now. Arcane sighs and waves her off. “Go on. Do something…not guarding. Train or something. Just don’t guard my door now that I am back.”

“Understood.” The Fallen says before leaving.

‘Since when could they speak basic?’ Arcane thought.

Arcane steps into his room and finds it mostly clean of dust rather than being layered on each other. “Wow…mom must have got the changelings to help out.” He says out loud before going to get cleaned up.

Arcane stretches as he steps out of his room fully cleaned and heads to the dining room as he hears loud chattering. “Oh boy…maybe I can blend in.” He says to himself as he opens the dining room door slowly and sees a lot of ponies and three Togruta.

“Welcome back.” Rainbow calls to him.

“Aw man.” Arcane groans as he steps in and his sisters rushes him and hugs him. “Hey…can you let go of me? I need to walk to even meet the others.”

“Just be happy that they aren’t using the lassos.” Applejack calls to him.

“Really? Lassos?” Arcane asks sarcastically.

“Why not?” Applejack asks chuckling.

Arcane shakes his head lightly as his sisters finally let go of him and lets him find his own seat to sit in on. Most of the time being spent catching up and eating what they can from the food being placed out. Though it wasn’t until Sunshine, Azure, and Blazer came over to him. “Hey little bro.” Azure says smiling.

Arcane sighs in relief. “Finally. The old trouble maker squad.”

Blazer chuckles. “Though that now belongs to the youngest over there.” He says pointing a claw toward the little foals being held by their mothers.

Arcane smiles and raises an eyebrow to Sunrise. “Did dad kill your coltfriend already?”

“Nope.” Sunrise says.

Azure shrugs. “Doesn’t matter now. Now is a time to catch up so…how many did you get?”

Arcane frowns to him as he sees a few foals climbing the walls.

“Kills man. Not mares.” Azure says grinning.

“Honestly, haven’t been keeping track.” Arcane informs.

“Aw. You seriously couldn’t count?” Blazer asks grinning.

“I’m doing more black ops like stuff.” Arcane informs.

“Should you really who am I kidding?” Sunrise says rolling her eyes.

“So I see our vampire and Pie siblings are crawling on the walls and ceiling.” Arcane says hoping to change the subject.

“Yeah…mom and dad are trying to calm them down.” Sunrise explains.

“Did it work with you?” Arcane halfheartedly asks.

“What do you think?” Sunrise asks suddenly climbing the pillar next to them.

“I really do pity our father and mothers.” Arcane says looking to Azure.

Azure shrugs. “They have been through Tartarus with us.”

“They aren’t done either.” Blazer jokes.

Arcane smiles. “At least they aren’t forgetting about us. That would be the worse.”

“What are you three talking about?” Twilight asks standing by Applejack and Octavia behind them.

“Yipe!” They all jump before realizing something. “Three?” Azure asks before looking around and doesn’t see Sunrise. “Traitor!” He calls.

“Oh. Are they being naughty?” E. Vinyl asks leaning on Octavia’s back.

“Maybe we should send them to their room.” Twilight says smirking.

“Hold that thought.” Blitz says wearing a police uniform with a stop sign.

“How…never mind.” Twilight says.

“Pinkie costume changed me.” Blitz informs.

“Yeah…figured.” Twilight says nodding along.

“Now are you girls behaving?” Blitz asks wiggling his eyebrows at them.

“Yes.” E. Vinyl says almost immediately.

“Uh huh.” Blitz says unconvinced as he wraps a hoof around her.

“Come on girls. This means, you know?” E. Vinyl says smirking.

Twilight and Octavia both smirk at that as the boys slipped away. “Remind me not to stay around dad when that happens.” Arcane says looking behind them.

“Oh, come on Jackie.” Blitz says as a lasso came and ensnared Arcane.

“Oh shit.” Arcane says before being dragged away toward Surgere. “Come on. Untie me.”

“No can do bro.” Surgere says in a very country accent.

“Seriously?” Arcane asks annoyed turning to her.

“Come on, don’t you remember our little game?” Surgere asks smirking.

“What game?” Arcane asks confused.

“Rodeo.” Sugere says smiling deviously.

“No!” Arcane declares frowning.

“Why not? Mom and dad play it all the time.” Surgere says dragging him closer.

“That’s different! Dad! Momma Applejack!” Arcane calls almost pleadingly.

Blitz hums as he stares hard at Soarin. “I don’t know. I can’t see it.”

“Seriously?” Soarin says pointing a hoof toward Blizzard dressed up like her who grins. “Don’t tell me that’s not creepy.”

Blitz shrugs. “I can’t help it that our son here likes to do this. Honestly, it’s an asset.”

“Thanks dad.” Blizzard says in Soarin’s voice. “Both my colt and marefriend think so too.”

“Momma Applejack!” Arcane calls now that Blitz is out.

Applejack chugs down a mug of cider and slams it onto the table as Rainbow finishes hers afterward. “Won that round.”

Rainbow grins back. “You’re on. Next!” She calls.

“Um…guys?” Arcane calls almost weakly before Surgere is lifted into the air and placed on the other side of the room as the ropes falls apart. “What the…?”

“Hi little Arcane.” Terra says smiling as her horn stops glowing.

Arcane groans as he gets up and stretches. “Ow. Hey Terra. So…how many times in the vacuum?”

“Seventy eight to zero.” One of his little brothers tells him with a scoreboard.

Arcane raises an eyebrow at her. “Really? You pissed off mom that much?”

Terra shrugs. “Can’t help it. Really, I need fun in my life.”

“And a vacuum is that?” Arcane asks sarcastically.

Terra grins still. “Maybe. But making sure auntie Twilight is on her hooves is the best excuse as well.”

Arcane shakes his head slowly. “You are so going to be banished one day.”

Terra giggles to herself as Arcane looks around. Azure raises an eyebrow as his eyes glow and looks to see Arcane’s energies starting to comb together. “Hey…Terra?” Arcane asks carefully.

“Hmm?” Terra asks smiling.

“Can we talk…privately?” Arcane asks almost nervously.

Azure tilts his head confused as the colors in Arcane seem to be mixing together now. “Sure. Let’s go.” Terra says leading him away.

Azure blinks before going to Blitz and whispers in his ear. Blitz blinks a bit surprised before looking to where Arcane and Terra went before sighing. “Don’t follow. Just…leave it lie.”

Now Azure was even more confused at what could this mean.

“So…what’s this about? Oh, did you get my gift?” Terra asks smiling towards him as they went out into the hall.

Arcane smiles a little. “Yeah. Got it. Got to say, it’s a great gift. But uh…yeah.”

“Yes?” Terra asks chuckling.

Arcane gulps. “I…have been thinking…since I have been on that mission.”

Terra blinks a bit confused now. “What about?”

“Well…you really. I don’t know how to explain it. But every time I am here, I always feel a tug towards you. Like a magical tug. I can’t really understand it. But when I went on the mission, I kept feeling the tug getting stronger. And now that you showed up, it moved toward you and wherever you went.”

“Oh.” Terra says to herself as she realizes that her husband’s spirit got stronger and now seems to be taking over. “So…what are you going to do about it?” She asks carefully as she really doesn’t want to face the wrath of any of the mares in the other room.

Arcane was silent on that as he looks down and scuffs his hoof on the ground as some words came into mind…but it wasn’t forceful. “Well…auntie Terra…what’s really going on here?”

Terra stares at him before sighing. “Okay. Look, there is a reason you only have sisters. No male alicorn can be born again once one exists. That’s you. And…well…male alicorns are really an amalgamation of all the past alicorns. Whatever is pushing you towards me is probably my husband doing that. He’s the most recent and most powerful so it would make sense he would try to do this. I’m sure you remember how I am promised to you in some way.”

“Yeah. I kinda do.” Arcane says to the side as he remembers when he overheard Mary and Terra arguing about it.

“Yes. So…now you really know. You don’t have to anymore. I kinda accepted that. Blame your father. But…you could just go with normal mares and live like that. Live out your life that way.” Terra says floating back a little as she looks down a little hurt.

“Well now.” Twilight says walking up to them.

“Mom!” Arcane yells jumping a bit as Terra didn’t move or respond.

Twilight smiles at him before looking to Terra. “So you told.”

“It’s been long enough. He should know.” Terra explains looking to her.

Twilight sighs. “What are you going to do Arcane?” She asks looking at him.

Arcane was about to say something when there was an explosion from where the family was. “Um…anyone want to check that?” Arcane asks.

“I got it.” Twilight says rolling her eyes and walks off as she doesn’t look back. “Pinkie! I said no explosive cakes!” She yells.

“You got to have some Twi. These are delicious.” Blitz says with his mouth full of cake batter.

Arcane shakes his head before seeing Terra start to float off. “Terra.” He says stopping her.

“Yes?” Terra says carefully as she turns to him.

Arcane gulps nervously as more words and phrases came to him. “I potest experiri.” He suddenly says and realizes he can understand it.

“What?” Terra asks almost shocked.

Arcane shakes his head quickly before looking back to her. “We can try. Look. It’s obvious you are not getting with anypony else because he is gone…but if I am him in a way…maybe we can. Just…try as a new couple maybe.” He tries to explain as he blushes.

“Well…uh…I never expected this. Your father has basically squashed all hope of this happening but…are you sure?” Terra asks more carefully as she knows that Blitz is listening close near the door in the dining hall.

Arcane stays silent for a bit before nodding.

Terra doesn’t say anything before floating over and hugs him softly, before they heard sirens and the screeching of wheels coming at them from behind a door.

Arcane blinks and pushes Terra off as the door was opening to Blitz wearing a police uniform with a little police car made for a foal behind him. “Pinkie. So…accepting it?” He asks getting the uniform off and walks toward them.

Arcane nods slowly. “Yeah…kinda hard to explain myself.”

“Baa.” A white coated earth filly says climbing into the car.

“You should get that one.” Arcane says pointing to the filly as she tries to spin the wheel around and kept making noises.

“DD’s filly.” Blitz says smirking as she was just like her mother.

Arcane chuckles a little as Terra floats over and grabs the filly’s hooves and plays around as she starts to push the car around with the filly cheering. “So…are you bothered by this?” Arcane asks carefully as he steps up beside Blitz.

Blitz says nothing before teleporting away and returning a few moments later in his usual armor. “That’s for you to decide.”

“Right…” Arcane says before yawning. “Okay…I need to get some sleep. It’s been long enough.”

“Hold it.” Surgere calls before getting him with another lasso.

“Seriously?” Arcane asks frowning.

“Yep. You thought auntie Terra can keep me away? Never! Back to the family!” Surgere declares pulling him in.

“This is going to be a long night.” Arcane mumbles still frowning.

“What do you girls think?” Blitz asks his wives.

“Which part?” Twilight asks smiling as she leans against him.

“You all know which part.” Blitz says petting Vinyl.

Vinyl purrs. “Everything.” She says nuzzling against his hoof.

“Come on girls. Voice your opinions. If not, then we always could sit our foals down and tell embarrassing stories about their moms.” Blitz says smirking as all of their eyes widen.

“Don’t you dare.” Octavia says frowning towards him.

“Then start telling your thoughts on what happened with Arcane and Terra.” Blitz says showing them the lie detector Twilight made for the foals, making her chuckle nervously.

“Well…it’s kinda weird…but she is the least connected to the family.” Vinyl tries to explain.

“Vinyl, did you drink my secret stash of Snops.” Spitfire says.

“Was it red or green?” Vinyl asks before hiccuping.

“Red.” Spitfire says frowning.

“No.” Vinyl says and the machine beeps loudly.

“You did.” Spitfire accuses.

“Girls, focus. You can abuse the lie detector later.” Blitz says.

Twilight sighs and lays her head down. “A bit…uncomfortable.” Twilight says before it beeps loudly.

“You are so lucky I am not going to ask you very embarrassing questions.” Blitz says.

Twilight frowns. “Fine. I actually accept it all.”

“Good. We are making progress.” Blitz says.

“Actually…happy.” Spitfire says rolling onto Hurricane who snorts awake.

Hurricane yawns loudly and rolls over to Blitz. “What I miss?”

“Oh, good. You’re awake. Now tell us your feelings about Arcane and Terra.” Blitz says smirking, knowing the room was on lockdown and no escape.

Hurricane blinks before tossing everyone up and rushes to the door and slams into it. “Ow.”

Blitz chuckles as he floats her back to the bed and into his hooves. “Now, what do you think?” He asks petting her.

“No.” Hurricane says stubbornly.

The machine beeps loudly and Blitz smirks. “Strike one.”

“It is not right here.” Hurricane says still stubborn.

The machine beeps again and Blitz grins. “Strike two.”

Hurricane growls. “Fine. I’m happy for them.”

“Who’s a good girl?” Blitz asks scratching her mane in human form.

“I’m a bloody commander that founded Equestria. Not a pet!” Hurricane yells angrily and the machine beeps. “Fuck you!” She yells to the machine and makes it beep again.

“Who is a good wife?” Blitz asks getting her behind the ears.

Hurricane groans before falling apart and purrs and leans into his scratching. “Me…”

“And you love it, don’t you?” Blitz asks knowing he had her no matter which answer she gives.

“Yeah…” Hurricane purrs out as she twitches her ears now.

“Are we really all in agreement?” Twilight asks as they watch Blitz scratch Hurricane behind the ears.

“Yeah. Hurricane loves it.” Rainbow says snickering.

Hurricane tries to stick her tongue out at her but kept purring under the scratching.

“Ahsoka?” Blitz asks.

Ahsoka yawns and looks over smiling. “Fine here. Kinda happy they finally got someone.”

“So…how has visiting with master Obi-wan been?” Blitz asks as she rubs her stomach.

Ahsoka smiles. “Amazing. It’s been awhile since I have even been taught by him.”

“I’m happy for you.” Blitz says before they all heard Pinkie snoring.

They all look over to see Pinking snoring up a chainsaw as she hugs her poofy tail. “Cup…cakes.”

“I want an answer from the rest of you later and I will be using this.” Blitz says poking the lie detector.

“Good to know sugarcube.” Applejack says cuddling up next to him.

“Now let’s get some rest.” Blitz says before a wing wraps around his head.

“Or…we could have fun.” Soarin says giggling.

“Too tired.” Blitz says as Night grabbed Soarin around the waist from behind.

“Leave him be. It’s been a long day.” Night says grinning as she nuzzles her.

“Also, double check to make sure we don’t have Blizzard in here with us.” Blitz says.

“How?” They all ask as they look to each other.

“Eyes. He always forgets them.” Blitz informs.

They all rush to look at each other as Blitz chuckles.

“Found him.” Night says looking at ‘DD’

Blizzard chuckles deviously. “Hi moms. Hi dad.”

“Where is your mother?” Blitz asks simply.

“Her room. Getting ready.” Blizzard explains getting off the large bed.

“Go to your own bedroom.” Blitz instructs.

Blizzard shrugs as he leaves and kept grinning.

“About time you sent him out.” Ahsoka says.

Blitz shrugs as he lays his head down. “Just…sleep…you are becoming sleepy.” He says pushing her head down to the bed.

“Not going to wait for DD?” Night asks.

“Like I said, too tired.” Blitz says shaking his head.

“Come on. Stay awake.” Ahsoka says.

Blitz sticks his tongue out teasingly. “Nope. Cutie.”

Ahsoka knocks his head at that. “Idiot.”

“Alien.” Blitz teases placing a hoof on her head.

“Sexy.” DD says from the door.

“My love.” Blitz kept going as he brings his head up to look at her. “You know, your son was here.”

“I met him on the way and flashed him my disapproving frown.” DD says.

Blitz chuckles. “Admit it. He captures the beauty you girls share. If there’s one thing he’s good at it’s capturing a picture perfect image.”

“Quiet you.” DD says booping his nose.

Blitz kisses her hoof. “Yes my mistress.” He jokes grinning.

“Put your head down and go to sleep and don’t say anything.” DD threatens holding a hoof up.

“Somepony is a far cry from when she was first turned into a mare.” Blitz teases.

DD boops his nose again, this time hard.

Blitz chuckles and wraps a hoof around her. “Cutie.”

“Imbecile.” DD quips starting to smile.

“Sexy.” Blitz says before pulling her to himself like a stuffed animal.

“Aw. Isn’t that cute? She’s like a cute little puppy.” Fluttershy says smiling.

“I would think polar bear.” Blitz teases.

DD boops his nose again. “Shut up.”

Blitz nuzzles her before laying his head back. “Ow. I really need sleep.”

Arcane just frowns as his flying senses were acting up. Even a tug from how it was leading him to Terra is now gone, but it started up again in a new direction. Somewhere far out of place. His view being helped up by the spiky look of what seems to be a HUD based on some of the fighters he flew, but these seem red and more dangerous looking.

As for now, his magical sensor, which even Blitz told he doesn’t have when he flies, is going off and leading him near the far side of the Everfree Forest. “What are you?” He asks himself as he sees a crevice running into the mountains. Seeing the sensor pointing him down into the ground below, he starts to fly down and carefully move away from the cliff edge as he notices how the edges were darker than the rest and nothing seems to be growing on the area. “Huh.”

Landing on the ground, he notices the small river running through the canyon as he walks deeper into the area. “Where are you leading me?”

Arcane kept walking along as he looks on the simple canyon for anything as his magical sensor finally went away and hasn’t lead him anywhere else. Now without a guide, he choose to wander to see if he can find anything about this tug was starting to get stronger. Coming around a corner, he quickly ducks behind the wall and peeks out to see some ponies covered in iron plates with helmets that covered up their entire head. “What the…?” He whispers to himself as he peers closer.

The ponies seem to be gathered around what seems to be an old temple entrance as two ponies in the middle circle each other as they each held an old weapon of a spear and axe. “A fight?” Arcane asks looking around before climbing up the walls a bit and tries to look closer and sees the two in the circle of the crowd fight each other in some sort of competition. Arcane kept watching before feeling the tug again and feels it toward the temple. “Okay…how do I get past?” He asks himself as he sees a few of the ponies blocking the entrance.

Arcane climbs down and heads around the edge while keeping to the darkness and rocks that he can take cover behind as he gets closer. Arcane gulps as he peeks out and sees that most of the attention is on the fight before trying to move again. “Dem mo!” One of them calls out and Arcane immediately looks to see that they saw him and jumps back as he gets his blaster out and aims.

“Okay. Fight the way through. Shouldn’t be too hard.” Arcane says to himself as he looks to all of the ponies as they point their weapons at him.

“Not if I stand in the way.” Daring says frowning as she walks up what seems to be a long cloth that the ponies immediately bow to. “What are you doing here? Blitz picked up your tracker heading for this area.”

“I was following instinct.” Arcane explains.

“Uh huh. You’re pretty lucky me and Blitz handled this area before.” Daring says still frowning before looking to the ponies and starts to talk in a strange language to which the ponies grab their weapons and goes back to what they were doing. “So…where is it leading you?”

Arcane points his hoof to the temple. “In there.”

Daring raises an eyebrow confused. “That’s impossible. When me and Blitz finished here, I came back to find out more about this place. Went over the whole place, top to bottom.”

“Well, my instincts tell me otherwise.” Arcane says before starting to walk.

“Hold it.” Daring says in a motherly tone that made him stop. “You can’t just walk in willy nilly. Especially this one. This one is full of traps and I’m sure you don’t want to face Blitz with an arrow in your flank.”

Arcane groans before Daring walks ahead of him and looks back to him. “Well? Let’s get going.” She says before walking up to the ponies at the temple steps and talks to them.

Arcane blinks confused as he walks up and the ponies start to talk back to Daring and she nods before looking to him. “They will let us through. But you need to be on your best behavior. Got it?” Daring explains tapping a hoof.

Arcane nods slowly as he puts his blaster away. “Right.”

Daring shakes her head slowly before looking to him. “I’m sticking my neck out for you here. Blitz expects me to bring you back so don’t mess up.” She says before following two of the ponies inside with Arcane following.

Blitz frowns as he watches the map with Arcane and Daring’s trackers as they go into the temple now. “Must be related to him.”

“Or it could be something planet shattering.” Someone says behind him.

Blitz frowns even more now and turns his chair to look at the cloaked being. “What do you want?”

The cloaked man chuckles. “Nothing. Checking up on progress. I see your son is actually starting to understand his place.”

“He makes his own.” Blitz argues.

The being chuckles deeply. “Keep telling yourself that. By the way, got some fun things for you.”

“Oh. Is it torture tools I can use on you and maybe chop off that tail?” Blitz asks sarcastically.

The being pulls down his hood to show a wolf who grins with mirth in his eyes. “No. Though that would be fun…for you. See, me and my team play a dangerous game. A game of cheats and cheaters. I already approached the emperor. And…” He dodges his head to the side to avoid the blaster shot. “Hear me out. I am giving your side a chance to gain the upper hand. See, this spot is a treasure trove of minerals and tech you can use. Coordinates are more on your territory than anything. The empire is already moving. I suggest you move your own now.” He says taking out something and presses it as a new screen appears on Blitz’s terminal to show some coordinates. “Note, not that big of an advantage, but an advantage nonetheless.”

“Or I could kill you and take everything.” Blitz says bring up the blaster.

The wolf smirks and tilts his head as he holds up his other hand. “Blind.” He says before the flashbang in his hand went off and Blitz rubs his eyes to see that he is gone.

Blitz scoffs before looking back to the terminal to see the coordinates. “Fuck.” He curses mostly to himself as he sends it to Spike and goes back to watching the trackers.

Arcane felt the tug become stronger as he kept walking deeper into the temple as the ponies and Daring stop, all of them talking together as the two seems to be explaining something to her while pointing to the rest of the large room.

Arcane slowly turns his head away from them and looks down a hall before walking down it. “Hey. Arcane!” Daring calls seeing him head on without them. “Man. Blitz is so going to kill me.” Daring mumbles as she follows with the ponies catching up and staying ahead of Arcane to watch for traps.

Arcane looks around as he feels his control of his body partly slipping away until they reach a dead end as the ponies became slightly confused and talks to Daring who shrugs and tries to explain herself and Arcane. All the while, Arcane stares at the wall as Daring walks up to him. “Come on. This part of the temple is already cleaned out and studied. You aren’t going to find anything.” She explains as Arcane’s horn glows as he reaches out with a hoof and touches the wall. “See. Nothing but symbols on how to grow crops and…” Daring shuts up as a sudden rock creak made her look down to see that the wall has moved up a bit. “What the…?”

Arcane twists his hoof and pulls it away as he blinks and shakes his head as the wall starts to slide up and show another chamber now. “Okay…I did not know about this.” Daring says looking around and notices how the architecture is different than the main temple.

Arcane breathes carefully as he walks in slowly and up to the table looking block while statutes of what seems to be different ponies was around it all in the walls, each holding a different weapon in old knight armor. “Whoa…” Arcane breathes out and looks to the block in the middle and sees it is actually a coffin with one of the knights’ figure on top. The hooves holding a dark sword on top that was intricately crafted.

Daring walks around the room as she looks to each of the statues before looking back to Arcane and sees him reach out toward the dark weapon and touch it. Daring become surprised as the weapon glows brightly before it rises up, not bothered by the stone coffin, until it floats above it and then flies straight into Arcane and sends him down. “Arcane!” Daring yells worried as she rushes over and looks him over to see no sign of injury.

Arcane groans as he sits up and rubs his head. “That hurt…okay…I…feel different. Mom…do you know what to make of this?”

Daring slowly shakes her head and looks around the room. “I don’t know…come on. Let’s get out of here. I don’t think you can be in any condition to do any more treasure hunting.” She says pulling him up.

“Yeah…let’s get home.” Arcane groans standing up before looking to the ponies staring at them. “Uh…are they okay?”

“I informed them you are mine and Blitz’s son.” Daring informs.

“Really? Not even questioning the whole alicorn thing?” Arcane asks poking his horn.

Daring shrugs. “Probably think you are just a pegasus with a fake horn to kill with.”

Arcane hums as he sees the ponies still staring. “Make…sense…let’s go home.” He says walking off.

“Of course, they also think your father is a god.” Daring adds.

“What?” Arcane asks looking back at her. “What does that make me?”

Daring hums as she thinks on that. “Uh…a weaker god.”

“You know, that would have gone right to my head last year. Now it seems stupid to me.” Arcane informs.

Daring smiles at that. “Good. You are learning.”

“No, I grew up. Had to stop being a baby at some point.” Arcane says nearly making Daring burst with pride.

“Come on big boy. Let’s get you home…and to a sit down with your father on what happened.” Daring says pushing him along as the ponies start to lead them back.

“Admiral Thrawn is where?” Blitz asks sitting up immediately.

“Lothal system.” Spike says frowning.

“Spike.” Blitz says calmly with his eyes now closed as he thought about this.

“What’s the plan?” Spike asks carefully.

“Call the krogan and the alliance councillors.” Blitz informs.

“Got it.” Spike says placing in the request as he knew this got serious.

“Twilight, come see me now.” Blitz says calling her before sending the code Zeta forty-seven to the rest of his wives.

It was a bit before Twilight finally came in looking worried now. “So…that’s it, huh?”

“The time is now.” Blitz says simply.

Twilight frowns slowly and looks down. “Why couldn’t it be held off more?”

“Because Thrawn has moved to the other side of the galaxy.” Blitz informs.

“So now what?” Twilight asks walking up to him.

“We tell the councillors and they tell their generals and admirals it is now time.” Blitz informs.

“Well…I hope we survive this then.” Twilight hopes leaning against him.

Blitz says nothing as he waits to be connected with the five he was calling.

Twilight breathes carefully before a beep was heard and the holograms of the councillors and the krogan came up on the other side of the room.

“I expect this is a status update on the readiness of the mandalorian forces and wish to check on our forces readiness?” The salarian councilor asks.

“No.” Blitz says simply.

“By that tone, I say some killing is coming.” The krogan says crossing his arms.

“Now is the time. One of their best admirals has been called to the other side of the galaxy to deal with a rebel cell. This is a golden opportunity. We mustn’t pass up. The time for hesitations and reservations is over. Do you go to war with us or no?” Blitz asks looking at the asari as he spoke, letting her know she had to make a decision now for her people.

The asari frowns heavily before sighing. “Fine then. I will lend some of the fleets to direct in the war. But I can’t lend every single one of them.”

“Then the Asari have finally taken a side.” Blitz says turning to the rest who nod to him. “Very well. Let the war begin. We will issue an official declaration of war and then attack twelve hours later. They will mount a defense, but those we have placed in key positions will sabotage this and we will cut right through them.” Blitz says repeating the opening of their first plan.

“And we’ll get our forces into position.” The turian says.

“Very well. Then we begin operation Dawning Star.” Blitz says ending the communication before getting up as the alarm went off and a voice spoke over the speakers.

“We are entering code Zeta forty-seven. We are now at war.” The voice started to repeat.

Twilight looks worried up to him. “Are you going to be fighting?”

“I am the head of the first fleet.” Blitz reminds.

“Blitz…” Twilight starts.

“Mandalore himself has decreed it love. I must obey.” Blitz says.

“Stay safe. Please.” Twilight says looking worried to him.

“Twily.” Blitz says smiling to her now.

“And don’t do anything stupid.” Twilight adds smiling.

“Don’t worry about me.” Blitz says, the door closing behind him.

“Brother!” Azure calls to Arcane who had just returned with Daring to see everyone running around to do something.

“What the heck did I miss?” Arcane tries to ask as he looks around.

“It has begun.” Azure simply informs.

Arcane stares at him shocked before sighing. “Alright. Let me grab my things.” He says quickly heading to his room to grab his go bag.

“Do you happen to know what fleet you are assigned to?” Azure asks at his door as he packs, showing he wasn’t informed of his placement.

“Should be first and…Terra…please get out.” Arcane says getting his bag together and seeing Terra trying to sleep lazily in his bed.

“Meow.” Terra meows smiling to him as she gets up. “Good luck boys.”

“Yeah…thanks.” Azure says looking back to Arcane. “We are all still shocked by the way.”

Arcane chuckles a bit. “Are you kidding? Take the entire family and put it together and that’s what I’m feeling right now.”

“No. You are not that feminine.” Terra says giggling as she starts to float off.

“Har har.” Arcane says hefting his bag over his back.

Terra smiles and floats over and hugs him. “Good luck Arcane.”

Arcane nods slowly and hugs her back. “Yeah. I’ll be call you when I get the chance…especially since it would take almost a week each time and I get a minute of breaks.”

Terra giggles and let’s go of him and playfully salutes. “And I’ll hold down the fort and make sure grandmother Twilight is in tip top shape.”

Arcane grins. “That includes a vacuum in those plans?”

Terra bonks his head. “Shut up.”

Arcane rolls his eyes and starts to head out and pats Azure on the back. “Come on big bro. Let’s get to our fleet and stations.”

Azure stares at Terra as she waves at them. “I swear…you two are acting like you have been together for years.”

Terra grins. “If only you knew.”

Azure shakes his head and rushes after Arcane. “Keep it down to a minimum at least. It feels weird…like kissing your marefriend in front of her parents weird.”

Arcane smirks. “In your case, necking and turning her.”

Azure shoves him. “You’re a jackass.”

Arcane chuckles and wraps a hoof around him. “Nope. Just the annoying little brother.”

“I hate you.” Azure says simply picking up his hoof and giving it back to him.

“No. You just live with me.” Arcane says almost laughing.

Azure rolls his eyes. “Then let’s grab our bikes and head out. I don’t think dad would like it if we are late.”

“Nope. Otherwise it would be the wrath of him and our mothers.” Arcane says smiling.

Azure nods and slowly looks to him. “You ready?”

“Honestly…don’t know.” Arcane says a bit unsure.

“Then you better get your game on. This is going to be the longest war of our lives.” Azure says as he tightens his suit.

Arcane hums as he checks his blaster. “Yeah.”

“Let’s go boys.” Blitz says at the door in his full armor as Mystic stands beside him with his bag. “We got a war to win…hopefully.”

“Do you have to be a downer?” Arcane asks almost smirking.

“No. It’s just to keep you on your hooves.” Blitz says chuckling before heading out. “Let’s go.” He says with the stallions following.

The last group of trainees were just docking aboard their carriers as Admiral Wayland Undys watches quietly from the command deck of the Victory-2 class star destroyer Ascendancy. Something felt wrong about the day but he couldn’t put his finger on it.

“Admiral. We have ships arriving in system. I count five. IFF is not responding to any known ships.” The radar systems officer warns.

Admiral Wayland’s eyes widen slightly as he quickly rushes over to see for himself. Sure enough, there were multiple contacts on radar, and one was larger than his ship. “COMMS! EMERGENCY CODE ZERO ON ALL FREQUENCIES!” He roars as the ship is put on alert. His ship forming up with a small line of three other cruisers as they turn and prepare weapons to face the threat coming into the Prefsbelt system.

“General. We have detected a fleet of imperial ships and they just sent out a broadcast on all frequencies.” A communications officer informs Grievous on the bridge of his ship. Grievous clasps his hands behind his back as his Darkblade class command cruiser drops out of hyperspace. “Have the turbolasers target any and all carriers in the vicinity…we must acquire fighter superiority.” He grates through his speaker before continuing. “Ion cannons will target cruiser class vessels first and neutralize their shields.” He finishes as the Unyielding Grip drops out of hyperspace.

“Admiral Wayland! Enemy Star Destroyer class vessel dropping out of hyperspace! It’s just out of weapons range!” The same radar officer yells out in slight fear.

“Stand firm. Emergency code zero has been activated, any nearby imperial fleets will drop what they can and rush to our aid…” Admiral Wayland states calmly as he watches the Unyielding Grip activate its shields and engines. “Message the carriers, tell them to release all fighters and bombers and to pull back. I want the frigates to form wedge with the Vindicator leading. I want every single gun hammering that destroyer until it is dust.” Wayland says as he glares angrily at the Unyielding Grip.

As orders are quickly relayed and carried out, fighters and bombers begin to pour out of the escort carriers as power is directed towards their shields and engines but not fast enough as one was caught close to the Unyielding Grip to be within its weapons range. The crew and all pilots aboard were lost within a minute.

“DAMN THEM!” Admiral Wayland yells as he hears the captain of the carrier yell in fear over the comms before there is a loud burst of static then dead air. “Tell those damn kids to move their asses. If they don’t fight now, they might not live at all…“ Wayland says into the carriers comms systems.

Grievous stares at the lone victory cruiser as it forms a wedge with the three other frigate class vessels. “Target the lead vessel when it gets in firing range… hold for the rest of the vanguard.” He states calmly as his own fighters and bombers begin to launch. A mixture of TIE/FOs and Rebellion manufactured B-wings with a single Elite Squadron of TIE/SFs.

Admiral Wayland’s face quickly turns appalled and indignant the moment he sees TIE fighters launching from the enemy ship. “To all men…I personally offer a one thousand credit bounty for every traitor TIE fighter you shoot down…” He growls into the comms, broadcasting to his fleet as both fighter/bomber groups near each other.

“Well, it’s graduation day. I guess guys…” Says Aleksander Krupaljin, squadron leader for his class. “Right. Callsign, Grey Leader, checking in.” He reports as he watches the twinkling lights of the enemy fleet, a flurry of chatter and reports and some panic is heard as he watches a broken TIE drift by, the body of it’s lifeless pilot hanging out of the top hatch with cold dead eyes staring at him. It felt like he was watching his future for a moment before his wing-man scorches by with two others right behind him.

“A THOUSAND CREDITS A HEAD!? I’M GOING TO BE RICH!” His name was Stanis Navvara and he was supposed to be Grey-Leader’s wingman. He was the best pilot of his entire class and he was cocky. His cronies were right behind him while his ‘commanding officer’ was shouting for them to form up. Almost in fear it sounded like, ‘What a coward,’ he thought to himself as many other rookies follows his example and charges headlong at the enemy. “I CALL FIRST KILL!” He shouts in glee as he sees the first enemy squadron and begins firing. He is smug and grins with impetuous folly before it quickly turns to shock and fear as the enemy fighter jinks his shots and dives into the middle of his rag-tag group.

Fear was all he could feel, that and his clammy skin making his flight-suit stick to his skin. Aleksander was watching in abject horror as he watches a single fighter fly into Stanis’s group before he watches three fighters explode. Yet, what terrified him most, was the positioning if the fighters the were destroyed. One was directly behind the fighter and killed with a tail gun. The second was a direct hit in front of the new fighter. The third death was from a concussion missile fired from the enemy TIE.

“ALEKSANDER! HELP US!” He hears Stanis yell in fear before the rest of the enemy squadron dives in. It was a slaughter. Four entire squadrons were wiped out in less than two minutes.

“This is Admiral Wayland to all starfighters. Stay near the fleet. The sheer weight of fire from our larger ships should whittle them down before they get close. The Enforcers also have several anti-starfighter laser batteries. If you encounter the Space Superiority squadron, try to call out their location or lure them towards the Enforcers. Our TIE Avenger squadron will move to engage as their elite Tie are located.” Admiral Wayland explains as an Imperial broadcast is sent over open comms.

“This is Admiral H’stan, commander of task force Intervention. We are responding to emergency code zero. We were on ceremonial command, if code zero has been invoked needlessly, the consequences will be dire.” A dangerous voice says over comms as alarms and klaxons blare in warning on the Unyielding Grip.

“General Grievous sir, ten Imperial ships have been identified on radar on course for the Space roughly three kilometers behind the main Imperial lines.” The radar specialist on Grievous’s ship states calmly as the warnings and klaxons are turned off.

“As expected of the Imperial forces. How far away are the Castiel Cruisers?” Grievous asks as he looks towards where the Imperials are expected to arrive. “They should be just about…” Grievous begins muttering just before the Castiel Cruisers drop from hyperspace, “…there.” Grievous says with a smile in his voice. “Inform the captains that their fighters will launch and join ours before the main assault.” He orders as the Mandalorian battle line swells with fighters and guns.

The ice cold fear that gripped Aleksander’s heart had been shattered as he heard the report. ‘Task force Intervention? I never heard of any nearby task forces in this sector…’ He thought to himself as several Imperial ships drop out of hyperspace and begin to reinforce the line, but what really caught his eye was the jewel that now sat at the back of their lines with her long range guns. The imposing and awe-inspiring beauty of an Imperator-I class star destroyer.

“About time now! Whoa! Look at the enemy ships move!” One of the trainees calls as the Castiel Cruisers shot forward with surprising speed dodging the first volley from the newly reinforcements which overshot as the fresh fighters engaged the the cadets most though many broke off aiming to make a run on the training fleet and then they launched neutron torpedoes at their target the training fleet’s flagship the Ascendancy.

“Admiral! Enemy torpedoes, incoming!” The radar officer yells in panic as the pilots of the star destroyer rapidly start making adjustments to the ship.

“ALL POINT DEFENCE, TARGET THOSE TORPEDOES!” Wayland orders as the veteran Interceptor pilots quickly move to assist. Meanwhile a single squadron of oddly painted Mandalorian ties breaks off and begins to head straight for the interceptors, prompting several other Imperial fighter squadrons to move.

“Targets moving as predicted Master Osan, your orders?” A Sith Assassin asks of the Jedi master leading their flight.

“What is the status of the silencer?” Osan asks as they shred another squadron of cadets.

“I think about half way charged.” Another says before the squadron gets an order from Grievous, telling them to draw the fire of the lancer class cruisers.

“Is Grievous serious?” Asks a sith warrior. “Those things are meant to kill fighters…WE ARE IN FIGHTERS!” He roars in anger as a nearby enemy tie fighter crumples into a ball and smashes into another.

“Form up!” Osan calls.

“Master?!” one of the warriors calls

“He wants us to keep them grouped up.” Osan informs locking course for an attack run. “Let’s get their attention.”

Osan’s squad proceed on their run splitting into two squads of three along the way, but instead of attacking the lancer class themselves, they target the escorting Carrack class and combined fire on one spot on each where their force senses told them to; overwhelming the shields allowing the laser cannon fire to penetrate the ship and started a chain reaction in both, causing explosions to rip through them before the finally gave out and exploded sinking the two ships, getting the Lancer class ships’ attention concentrating a lot of fire their way and started to move closer, having taken notice their tie fighters were being pushed back and whittled down quickly.

“Master Osan, they are falling back, but they keep taking pot shots at us.” One of the jedi sentinels of the squadron points out as they link back up and head back into the dogfight before they spotted one squadron pushing back their forces. “Master, should we engage? They stand out a lot they must be the elites of the enemy fleet.” The jedi guardian of the squadron says.

“Those are TIE Advanced.” Master Osan says remembering the meeting the entire jedi and sith orders had on the war before they all shipped out to war. “Those are very high value targets command and judging from the skill, we can’t attempt a capture. Engage and destroy them.” Master Osan orders.

“Estimated time till silencer is ready is three minutes. Keep that in mind and move away so you don’t get caught in the blast.” The assassin reminds as it looked like the Unyielding Grip was starting to move up.

Several laser bolts flew past a jedi knight’s ship before two impact on the shields. Whipping around in his cockpit he saw a TIE Advanced on his six. “Blow him out of the sky Marauder.” He says to his Sith tail-gunner as he begins evasive maneuvers.

“It would be much easier if everyone stayed still.” The marauder mutters angrily as he fires again and again at the Avenger on their tail before enough bolts hit their mark, causing the Advance’s shields to fail before it breaks off the pursuit. Moments after it breaks off, a pair of missiles streak by and slam into the wing and cockpit of the Advanced, causing it to blossom into a red and orange ball of death.

“Good kill, now there are four more to go.” Master Osan says as he and his squadron weave around lasers and missiles while trying to put in as much damage as possible to enemy ships. “Master, we just received orders to pull back. The silencer is at eighty.” The sith sorcerer calls.

“All wings pull back!” Osan calls and banks with the rest of his wing disengaging. Seeing this, many of the fighters followed them and pulled back with them with some hanging back a little longer to cover the retreat before joining them.

“What are they doing?” Aleksander questions having to bark orders at his squad to maintain formation as some of the more hotheaded rookies followed them only to be slaughtered by the tail gunners and point defences of the bigger ships.

“General, the silencer is ready, your target?” A communication’s officer asks, his smirk quite visible to the rest of the bridge.

“Fire the silencer on the Star Destroyer, we will engage the rest of the fleet at turbolaser range. The other fleet should be arriving shortly to assist.” Grievous orders as he looks at the bridge of the enemy star destroyer.

“Targeting now.” A bridge officer says.

“All fighters and ships have cleared the firing line.” Another says as they heard the sound of the silencer powering up.

Aleksander held his breath as he noticed one of the enemy ship start to move to the front before a bright light shot from it, heading straight for the flagship of task force Intervention. Then there was an explosion of bright light, temporarily blinding him causing him to cover his eyes. After a few moments, he finally uncovered them and saw, to his horror, the star destroyer was now barely remaining with only some parts burned badly and floating in space as the lancer class ships didn’t escaped undamaged either. One of them was completely vaporized as several others suffered heavy flash burns from the immense heat and energy.

“Good. Order our bombers to concentrate fire on the remaining Lancers. Have the Castiel cruiser rush in and finish off their escort carrier then the gladiator star destroyers.” Grievous orders as all his ship got back into formations, reforming their line.

“General, what about the other fleet?” A bridge officer asks.

“They will be in for a shock soon.” Grievous says watching the monitors. Seeing another incoming signal from hyperspace as his fighters and bombers start to fly at the mostly crippled task force now as they had just lost their admiral and flag ship in one shot.

“What was that?” Aleksander asks before noticing the fighters and bomber returning to battle. “Come in Obsidian Squad, the fighters are coming back. Commander, what should we do?” Aleksander asks but gets no response. “Come in commander, what should we do?” Aleksander asks again.

“Alek, I am not picking up any of the advanced.” One of his squadmates informs.

“Th-that makes Alek highest flight officer…we’re screwed.” Says another squad member as he begins to panic as the fighters and bombers moved on a attack run as Alek tries to think of what to do before the bombs started to be dropped on the lancers who still hadn’t recovered and weren’t even shooting back and soon the crippled ships started to go up in balls of explosions and the fighters and bombers choose to start targeting the gladiators with their initial targets destroyed.

Then a signal came that started to bring back hope for the imperial forces. “This is Admiral Priam of task force Sigma four. We are in route now.”

“More reinforcements are coming. We still have a chance.” A rookie says.

“General, the rest of the fleet is about to come through. Should we alert them to the battle that is happening?” A bridge officer asks Grievous.

“Inform our six star general of the situation.” Grievous informs as the imperial ties were starting to rally then the new fleet comes in on the edge of the battle field and starts to soon head for it.

“Excellent. Focus all power to our forward shields and weapons. We will repel this traitor force.” Wayland ordered as his forces hadn’t notice that the new fleet was coming at them as one of the gladiator class succumbed to the combined bombs and went up in a final blaze as the escort carrier with nothing left was under assault from all side from the Castiel ships. Having no weapons that could effectively counter this, it’s captain decided to surrender, not wanting to be destroyed, making the Castiel ships stop firing on it, but sent over boarding parties to make sure it was secured and and start concentrated all fire on the last remaining gladiator of the task force.

As this was happening, the Ascendancy started to fire at the Unyielding Grip Grievous’s flagship, and then it happened. The new imperial fleet started firing on the Ascendancy, throwing Wayland’s entire bridge in disarray as the shields in the back was quickly overpowered and, before they understood what was happening, many proton torpedoes hit them directly in the engines first crippling them and eventually one luckily set off a chain reaction that damaged their reactor starting a overload. “Aban…” This was Wayland’s final attempt at an order before his bridge was destroyed, killing everyone in it. This caused the secondary bridge to try to take over, but, before they could, the reactor reached it’s limit and exploded, ripping the flagship in half and sending both pieces flying in different directions. None of the training fleet could comprehend what had happened as their flagship was now destroyed and no time to recover as the ‘imperial’ fleet launched it’s fighter and bombers before starting to bombard the two imperial enforcer class ships. While the Unyielding Grip and the Darkline cruiser started move in to fire on the training fleet’s capital ships or what remained. As this was happening, the final Gladiator went up from the bombs and the Castiel cruisers, having received the confirmation from their boarding marines, turned and started to turn and head at the fleet with full speed.

The bombers didn’t immediately join the final attack though. They returned to their ships to be refit and repaired if needed. The fighters on the other hand didn’t return unless they needed repairs and, with that, the training fleet started to attempt to flee anyway they could. The Interdictor, the Defiant,started to move to retreat, but, in doing this, it attracted too much attention as the ‘imperial’ fleet’s Gladiator ships released salvo after salvo of concussion and proton torpedos. It was clear to all that that would not allow them to escape as the ship started to buckle under the bombardment, but because of this many of the escort carriers still remaining that could move decided to move to escape, not even waiting for the rookie pilots to come on board and just left them to their fate as two made the jump to hyperspace before they could be started to be fired on as another tried to jump but too many hits on it’s engine area had been taken and, when it tried to jump out, its engines exploded from the strain, destroying the carrier.

Aleksander felt his heart gripped in fear as, out of the original class, only about half remained and were being abandoned as the enforcers couldn’t even move to flee as they were bombard from all sides by the fleets. Then he felt his heart stop and many new ships, many the same design as the unknown ships they had just fought, started to jump in followed by many large and more powerful looking ships.

“Attention all remaining imperials. This is Mandalorian Grand General Blitzkrieg of the Citadel alliance. Surrender and I promise you will all be spared. Fail to comply and we will finish this battle.” A open broadcast from one of the ship informed.

Seeing this, most of the cadets started seriously considering to surrender, but one squad, of whom remained only three of the original five, used the broadcast to track which ship it came from attempt to attack the ship and kill the general with their TIEs, but they didn’t get far as when the started firing, they felt their TIEs suddenly stop as if they were grabbed by clamps and their seat belts barely held them in place, but the whiplash hurt them and then to those cadets still watching horror encased them as the interceptors seemed to be crushed by an invisible force while on the bridged of the new Dark Tendril class Heavy battlecruiser the Supremacy, Blitzkrieg was holding out a hand and using the force to crush them to show they didn’t even need to fire on them to finish this battle before the three exploded.

Seeing this and and hope of escaping being lost with the interdictor that was destroyed, Aleksander gave a heartbreaking order over the communications. “This is Ensign Aleksander Krupaljin. As the highest ranking flight officer, I hereby order all fighter and bomber pilots to surrender. There is no point in fighting any longer.”

This order was soon also given by the enforcers and the two remaining escort carriers. The first battle of the war was over and, in the end, the imperials had lost an entire task force, four ships, and thirty eight squadrons of fighters and bombers.

To the shock of the new POWs as of twelve galactic hours ago, the Citadel alliance had made an official broadcast to the empire itself declaring war for violations of treaties and unlawful invasion into their territories given to them at the end of the clone wars. This broadcast had even been played on Coruscant along with showing of evidence of such acts when bounty hunters had hijacked a broadcast station on the planet so it couldn’t be blocked and the Emperor himself had to know, but, with the time it takes for alert to be spread across all the imperial territory, the fleet was uninformed and just happened to encounter the vanguard of this invasion fleet as it was heading for Prefsbelt IV and to take over the entire Prefsbelt sector before help could arrive, but the biggest surprise for the POWs is that they were treated with respect and humanly. They had earn respect from the mandalorian fleet, having fought so hard despite being caught unprepared and not finished with training.

“Sir, it looks like we still haven’t been detected by the enemy ship.” An officer informs as Blitz looks out to Prefsbelt IV, the two escort carriers, and the military space station in orbit.

“Decloak the fleet and open fire. Destroy the defense fleet and the station, then ceasefire.” Blitz orders.

“Sir.” The officer says relying the orders and their ship starts to decloak to the enemy’s surprise before all their weapons opened fire, pounding their shields with cannon and laser fire in the fleet before it broke through and hits the station, filling it full of holes. Blitz breathes out carefully as some of the fleet explodes from the surprise attack on them along with the station before the ships started to return fire. Only for the Supremacy to keep firing and turn their attention towards the remaining floating vessels and decimates them with holes in their hulls as well. All of this leaving them dead in the water with some of them breaking apart and exploding into scrap.

“Grievous, I want you to demand the surrender of them. Keep them talking and busy while we execute the next stage.” Blitz says.

Grievous coughs. “Fine. But they better be through.”

“Launch operation Piercing Arrow. I repeat Piercing Arrow is a go.” Blitz says causing several smaller ships and transports to launch from the Supremacy.

“Alright, listen up. Our assignment is to infiltrate the academy and sneak through the canyon. There are sensors that look for any sort of vehicles so we are stuck on our own four…or rather two, feet. We get inside, plant the bomb where it can reach the most of the compound and then send a signal to our waiting attack group in the canyons. After that bomb goes out, some of our electronics will not be working, so we are going a bit low tech on our signal.” Arcane lists off. “Any questions?”

“What about the droids?” A mandalorian asks.

Arcane looks to the three droid members that were wearing parts of some armor and battery packs with different guns. “They will be off for a certain amount of time a bit away so they will not get the full blast. Optics may be messed up a bit, but they can fight when it all breaks out. We just need to put them in a good spot while we make our way to the tower.” He explains as he brings up a map of the base and points to the middle.

“And what do we do from there?” Another asks.

“Participate in the assault. Try not to damage everything in sight. We need the base. If you come across something that looks like it can do damage for the attacking force, plant charges for it if it is something simple as a TIE fighter. For the big guns, keep it and make sure no one boards them. We do have a secondary objective if you want in. The main is to capture the tower and capture the commander of the base if possible. Try to use stun charges. We might get something out of this guy.” Arcane says making a few attack and defensive lines on the map, showing how the main assault will go. “We would be the flankers for the assault and help the force gain control of the base. And for the love of Tartarus, don’t take down anyone in the beginning of the inflation. It’s called that for a reason and we intend to at least make it to the tower. After that, weapons free.”

“What about other prisoners or HVT?” Another asks.

“Get them to a safe zone designated here.” Arcane says marking a spot in the canyon. “Scans show this place as dark, but it is only truly safe if we blow the bomb and take out the advanced warning systems. And this is a big objective to do since you would have to travel far to get them out of the firefight zone so the transports can pick them up and take them someplace safe. Remember, a lot of the electronics would be out, so you and the prisoners would be out on foot. Travel in twos, go by yourself if you want, but try not to get killed. Even though I know you wouldn’t.” He jokes grinning as some of the members chuckle at that. “Remember, if you find anything of value such as prisoners of the high value, try to get them out in one go as best you can. We really don’t them to hang around the area any longer than they should be. Oh…and if there documents or drives of information, grab them if they are too valuable. We will capture the base, but I would take information and prisoners out before the empire soldiers could break, destroy, or kill them before we can reach them.” Arcane explains. “Any more questions?” He asks looking around.

“Yes, what is the main assault force consisting of?” One asks.

“Not much. We have several squadrons of TIEs maintain air superiority and covering the infantry and armor. Which consists of one regiment, ten 2-MA Sabre-class repulsor tanks, and eight Jackhammers.” Arcane informs. “Anything else? No? Good. Time to get to work.” Arcane instructs.

“Stay quiet.” Arcane orders as he hurried along the canyon, his team following right behind them as they pass by the radar sensor watching out for anything that is supposed to be looking for any ships or vehicles. “We should be able to sneak a ways inside before we have to start knocking the soldiers out.”

The team continued along, making sure to not cause too much noise to flip the sensors watching the areas. All of this while passing by under some staging areas for some aircrafts of different types. The clanking of some AT-ST made them go slower and take a wide breath around the noise as a heavy fog covered the area. Even though they are not going to be picked up by the motion sensors, doesn’t mean they are not going to be picked up be a regular eye looking towards them.

Arcane kept looking around for anything important as he marks certain places on his map of the staging areas to send out before they detonate the bomb. Telling the teams that will attack on where to strike first or before the main attack if need be. The fog and terrain soon started lifting up and let them see more of the area as they come across a hangar with a soldier in TIE gear running for the parked TIE. Arcane only sends out a stun blast from his blaster and uses the force to put him back into the hanger as they kept running.

The soldiers in the back carrying the bomb in a bag looks inside the hangar for anything just in case as they kept following, the heavy bomb slowing them down a bit. As they cross over the lip of the carton entrance, they saw the base with its large command spire jutting from the center of the base. Several large landing pads holding numerous TIEs littered the area with searchlights criss-crossing the night skies. A pair of barracks and three vehicle bays as well as multiple other structures, presumably school buildings and living structures littered the canyon.

Heading down the hilly edge, they continue on, going for the side areas where mostly warehouses and hangars are. As they all marked where the fleet of TIEs sat waiting to launch. All around, they skipped the search and spot lights littered around and stuck to the main pathways before Arcane lifts his hand with a fist and makes them stop as they took positions before Arcane took a peek ahead to where they need to go. Looking back around them, he makes the others stay with a hand gesture as he goes to a small entrance door for a hangar and slowly peeks inside to see it is mostly crates.

Arcane smiles as he looks over to the team and whistles softly, making a B5 notice the signal and run over before heading inside with a mandalorian behind it. Arcane nods as the B5 finds a dark place and curls up before shutting down, the mandalorian waiting patiently as he watches the door and nods to Arcane. Arcane gives a thumbs up before closing the door and gives the signal to keep moving to the others.

As they head deeper into the base, they find that the number of soldiers are increasing as they patrol the area, making them slow their speed as some of them kept an eye out for places to put the two droids left. Only when Arcane gives them an order to stop again as he peers around a building and sees a heavy searchlight area with barbed and electrical fences surrounding it a few hundreds feet away. Arcane raises an eyebrow as he pulls his head back and thinks on how to deal with this before looking where they need to go and tries to guess the buildings in their path. Looking back at the prison like building again, he takes a deep breath.

“Change of plans here. You four.” Arcane says looking to the last two B5s and their keepers. “You are going for that once the shit starts flying.” He says pointing to the prison building. “Hide there.” He says pointing opposite of them to a little building with boxes around it, marking it as a supply building. “The rest of us will handle the bomb and info. If you get them out quickly enough, maybe you can pick off a few or capture them if need be.” He says smiling before signaling the others to move on as he follows while the two pairs heads toward the shed and goes inside and shuts the door behind them.

As the droid teams were settled in place, the remaining team started to hurry along the walls, staying still when guards or searchlights passes by. As they got closer, they started to feel the tension as they closed in on the tower. Arcane goes to the wall and presses his ear to it and tries to listen for anything with a pattern. Hearing some pattern like humming, he nods as he goes to the forward team and stands guard with them as the demo team sets up the bomb.

“Okay, get ready for the big boom.” Arcane says setting up the data to be sent and looks back to the team as they arm the device. “Remember, you won’t much help in terms of electronics…so don’t screw up or die.” Arcane says almost dryly as he stands and gets away from the area with the others following.

The demo team soon follows behind as they heads towards a building with a lot of electrical lines heading towards it and connected to it. Arcane chuckles to himself as they set up at the door and prepared to open it before Arcane stops them before knocking on the door. “Hey. Keycard doesn’t work anymore. Open up man.” He calls and gets some dry looks from the others as Arcane held a small smile.

“Again Koy?! Have you any idea what you do to embarrass me?” Someone calls from inside before the door opens and gets a face full of a blaster. “Oh shit.” The officer mutters before being stunned.

Arcane quickly walks by the knocked out officer as some of the others were surprised that actually worked while Arcane looks around and notices the main room a bit away down a hall with some guards and officers milling around. However, Arcane decided to go down the side hallways and sees lines of servers in chilled rooms as he left two of the teammates behind at the main hall, ready to rush in. As Arcane reaches the other side, he grasped onto what the structure is like before he peers in toward the room and sees them all looking towards the main door, wondering what is taking so long for the knocked out officer.

Arcane and the teammate next to him quickly rushes into the hall and they both fire off stun shots as the others do the same, knocking the guards and officers they can see before taking out the ones they couldn’t once they walked into the main room. All of it done in several seconds as Arcane looks around for cameras. “Start the data transfer. Let’s get this out before the alarm hits.” He orders sending his map data to the waiting force.

The mandalorians go to the consoles and start to dump out all the data they can as Arcane kept looking around. Seeing his own transfer done, he sets up the bomb arming system and gets prepared to hit it. As the data went, almost agonizingly slow for them, Arcane ordered them away towards the door again, leaving the data to keep transferring what it had.

Once they stepped outside, Arcane took out something from his pocket, looking like a bulky blaster pistol, and takes one last look around. As the team locks their own data loads on their arms and nods to him as they see it has almost around fifty percent of the info sent. Arcane takes a deep breath. “Going dark.” He says before hitting the detonate button and they hear a loud humming noise that washed over them as their night vision and data pad arms go out with the base following in its wake, the lights, door controls, even some of the soldiers patrolling around stopping and banging their helmets. “Alright. Let’s have fun.” He says before lifting the pistol up into the air and fires off a red flare into the air, letting it to sail into the dark sky and light up the whole base.

Arcane and his team immediately runs away from the area as they blast a confused soldier when he sees them and gets a face full of stun blaster fire. As they ran, explosions started to happen in the canyons, signaling them that the team has taken out the areas Arcane has marked. Arcane chuckles as they go for the tower and quickly goes to a door and places some charges on it. After setting up on the edge, they detonate and blow it wide open, letting them charge in and take out the dazed and confused soldiers they can see before some came out of rooms and other hallways and started to fire blaster fire their way, with them returning with either stun or regular blaster fire.

As this was happening, the main assault force began moving as their commanding officer was getting real time data from the ships in orbit as the imperial patrols lost their sensor readings, allowing them to be ambushed in the thick fog or, in the case of some, boarded and hijacked.

Arcane took off his headset as he kept getting static and kept returning fire, mostly getting the leg joints and arms if need be, knocking them as the team kept pressing on into the tower. The whole base now realizing they are under attack and prepared to use the fighters before seeing they are disabled by the bomb and go to grab weapons. As the imperial soldiers scrambled to find some weapons, the attacking force came through the canyon gaps and took out large forces running for some weapons or any vehicles still active.

Arcane smirks as he passes by a window and sees the fighting before seeing someone running towards them through the windows of the floor and holds out his blaster and makes him flip onto the floor in front of them. The guard groans as he tries to get up before hearing some boasters whir up. “Commander?” Arcane asks as he and another mandalorian points their blasters at them. The guard only shakily points up and Arcane smirks and let’s loose a stun blast to knock him out before they start to rush toward the middle of the tower building as many soldiers and guards started coming at them as they reached the stairs and looked up at the long tall tower. “Nope!” Arcane nopes like uncle Big Mac as they take out their blaster pistols and point their blasters toward the ceiling and fire off their harpoon guns.

The empire kept coming as they kept firing where they can, hitting some of them down into pain or knocked out when they can, hardly having that chance as they head multiple clangs and their lines pulled tight before taking off into the air. Arcane reaches out with the force and snaps off the first few levels of stairs, leaving it a mangled messed and only leaving the last top level intact for them to walk down with. Looking up, they see the bottom floor of the tower coming up as the blaster fire towards them lessened before Arcane frowns. “Give me a sec.” Arcane says rolling himself into the line and quickly changes into pony form and lights up his horn with a spell charging up at the tip of horn, the line wrapped around his hoof.

As he did this, the main assault force took the other defenses and the defending troops were starting to lose their nerve as neither the turbo laser towers or the deployable turrets were back online yet and the mandalorians were already taking over the towers. At this rate, when they did come back online, they would fire on each other and be destroyed.

The commander of the imperial forces of the base tried desperately to keep things in order, but without a radio system not being up yet, his messages and orders couldn’t get out at all as the mechanics tried to get everything back up and running. “How much longer?! This battle is literally tearing us apart.” He demands as he looks toward the fighting happening near the hangar bays. Some of the warehouses already destroyed and smoking as the ground troops tried their best to hold back the assault.

“We’re trying. Nothing is responding.” A mechanic says as he and the other mechanic tried to work the wires and power source.

“Well hurry up and…”

BOOM

The commander covers himself as he looks towards the smoking hole and sees a cloaked man fly out of the hole and sees a blaster in his hand. Then sees more soldiers in armor come out of the hole and fires their blasters with mostly stunt fire and knocks most of them out. The one in the cloak coming down toward him until his shock wore off and then was brought down to the ground as a blaster is aimed at his face, letting him see down the barrel of it.

“Check.” Arcane says pulling him up as the others took out everyone else in the room and brings the commander over to the console and slams him down before cuffing him. “Got the commander. Everyone else?”

“Clear!” A chorus sounded out as they look toward the battle happening.

“Alright. Signal the assault team that we have the target.” Arcane says smirking before pushing him along.

“Popping green smoke.” A mandalorian says before using a smoke grenade.

Arcane smiles as he tosses it out the busted window from the fight, letting the assaulting force see it and even the imperial soldiers. The fighting soon died out as they all realized it was over at this point and soon the imperial soldiers surrendered and let themselves be rounded up and sent to an area for them all to stay and be watched over.

“Lieutenant, we confirmed Druck, Nark, and Tonac all died.” One of his mandalorians informs.

Arcane frowns and breathes carefully. “Get their bodies and give them a proper burial. At least they didn’t die in vain.”

“Ay sir.” The mandalorian says leaving as Arcane watch the captured imperial walkers being brought into the base.

“Holy crap. Now that’s a capture.” Arcane mutters seeing them walk.

“Fifty-nine, return to the fleet immediately.” A call rang out over the comms as the lights comes back on.

Arcane sighs and tosses the commander over to another mandalorian as he walks past them. “Take care of this guy.” He says before just jumping off the stairs.

“And that is the plan. When I return I expect both sectors to be locked down, am I understood?” Blitz asks Grievous, Ridley, and Spike.

“Yeah. Sure. Anything we should really look out for?” Spike asks.

“Any counter attacks, annihilate them all. As they will most likely be acting against on orders as if the displacement of the moths if these two sectors and more there will be jockeying for power going on.” Blitz informs.

“We’ll deal with it swiftly.” Grievous coughs.

“Also, start sending for our friends in the turian military. Tell them we have some new recruits who we will need to retrain.” Blitz says.

“New ones already. Heh. And I thought we were done training.” Ridley jokes, mostly to himself.

“Start with those not stormtrooper to try and make them change sides.” Blitz instructs as Arcane watches.

“And resisting?” Grievous asks, almost with a grin behind his mask.

“Keep working on them till they join. The more we get to join us, the more ours and the rebels propaganda can spin it and hurt the empire more.” Blitz instructs.

“Oh, you are playing dirty.” Ridley says as Spike now smirks.

“I try.” Blitz says smirking back. “Now I go oh. And our friends have permission to set up shop in our two new sectors. Just remind them of our agreement if they get to uppity.” Blitz informs.

“No problem here.” Grievous says, his finger claws clicking against each other.

“Arcane, get your platoon ready. We are going to be leaving with others once our friends arrive.” Blitz informs.

“How long would that take?” Arcane asks.

“We are going to kill the pretender to the title of Mandalore.” Blitz informs.

Arcane blinks a few times before suddenly grinning. “Awesome.”

A few days later, several ships arrived and docked long enough for a few battalions of mandalorians to board before leaving as quickly as they came.

“So now what?” Arcane asks, his platoon ready nearby.

“Just wait on standby.” Blitz says as he waited for Phoenix squadron to pick up his encrypted call.

“This is Phoenix.” Hera answers.

“Captain, I wish to talk to Sabine Wren.” Blitz says.

“Oh, Chief Blitzkrieg.” Hera says, recognizing him immediately.

“Right now, it is Grand General. I am in charge of one of the forces that the Citadel alliance has sent to fight the empire now that we have officially declared war.” Blitz informs.

“Yes, we have heard. That decoration was a big boost to our morale.” Hera says unsurprised.

“Well, here is another. We have taken both the Prefsbelt and the Dantus sectors.” Bitz informs, this time surprising her.

“What? That quick already?” Hera asks in disbelief.

“We have been planning this for a long time. Now, Sabine Wren please.” Blitz requests.

“Oh. Sure.” Hera says before going silent.

Blitz waits until someone came back to talk, but he could hear a lot more moving and talking in the background. Obviously word was being spread by Hera about what had happened. “Sabine.” Blitz greets.

“Blitz…kinda expected you to call.” Sabine says, Blitz being able to tell she is smiling.

“Sabine, I have orders from Mandalore. The true one, not the pretender on Mandalore.” Blitz says showing her how serious this was.

“What are they?” Sabine asks, her smile obviously gone.

“Get Fenn Rau and go to your clan’s house on Krownest and tell them Mandalore calls them to arms. We are retaking Mandalore and destroying the pretender. You have twenty one days. With or without you, we will start the battle. Mandalore himself will be leading the attack.” Blitz informs.

“Got it. I’ll be there early as I can.” Sabine says.

“Roger and tell her that his second is the one calling them to war.” Blitz says.

“I’ll pass along the message.” Sabine says.

“Good. Blitzkrieg out.” Blitz says out before cutting the line.

“I see momma Ashoka’s old team holding out.” Arcane noted.

“Yes, but in for a very bad time. Have you heard of Thrawn yet?” Blitz asks.

“The toughest admiral ever seen up to now?” Arcane asks, making sure he didn’t sleep through that.

“He may be the best in the entire empire.” Blitz informs.

“Even uncle Spike?” Arcane asks, recounting how Spike became fearsome in an older attack.

“He may be his equal or better.” Blitz informs.

“Oh…so how long we got before we head out?” Arcane asks, trying to come up with some plans already.

“Hang tight. I have already informed when…” Blitz stops when a pirate bumped into him. “Excuse me?” Blitz asks turning to the pirate.

“What?” The pirate asks in a gruff voice.

“I believe you owe me an apology.” Blitz informs.

“Why should I?” The pirate asks back with annoyance.

“This is the reason.” Blitz says before igniting his lightsaber into the pirate’s gut. “I don’t tolerate disrespect.” Blitz says deactivating the lightsaber and lets the pirate fall dead in front of all of the other pirates, letting them know not to mess with him.

“You know…we are trying to keep a clean ship.” Arcane reminds.

“This isn’t our ship. Now someone clean up this mess.” Blitz says before motioning Arcane to follow.

Arcane walks along with him before sighing and trying to control himself. “I almost feel like doing a giddy dance.”

“These are pirates Arcane. They respect only a few things. Wealth, fear, and power. I just gave them a reason to fear me and now they know if they mess with me I will kill them.” Blitz informs

“I know. It’s just I feel like a true fighter.” Arcane says smiling.

“You have your first taste of war, but not the front line experience. You will learn it though.” Blitz says.

“Yeah…” Arcane says distantly.

“This is what you wanted, right?” Blitz asks.

“Yeah…I’m just wondering now, after seeing this, how long will this really last?” Arcane asks, mostly himself.

“We are taking on a major enemy Arcane, this will take years at least.” Blitz informs.

“Let’s see what becomes of it then.” Arcane says getting into step beside him.

“You know your brother Azure came with us on this, right?” Blitz asks.

“Yeah. But he’s been held back.” Arcane says.

“I mean he is here on this ship.” Blitz says.

“And?” Arcane asks.

“If things go as I have foreseen, then he will get to fight.” Blitz informs.

“And if it doesn’t?” Arcane asks.

“Then that means the enemy is far more pathetic than I thought.” Blitz informs.

Arcane smiles a bit at that.

“Arcane, this is an important move. You know why that is?” Blitz asks.

“Yes.” Arcane says.

“Oh, do tell.” Blitz says.

“MandalMotors, their shipyards, and without the pretender, no one can truly question Mandalore in the clans.” Arcane says making Blitz only able to smile and be proud.

“Perfectly evaluated.” Blitz informs.

Arcane smiles and shrugs at that. “It was nothing.”

“Now Arcane, what is Madalore’s surface like?” Blitz asks, making Arcane sweat as he had no idea of that.

“Um…barren and rocky?” Arcane offers.

“Deserts mostly with the population living in domed cities where they grow food, build, and live.” Blitz informs to Arcane’s surprise, not sounding disappointed in the least.

“Oh…okay. Hmm…domed cities.” Arcane hums to himself.

“Tek already shot down the idea unless it was on an airless planet.” Blitz says, derailing his train of thought. “And there will be times you forget, but it doesn’t hurt to ask…unless you are in a firefight.”

“So what is the plan father? Fight them in the cities street to street or in the desert?” Arcane asks.

“In the desert and if they don’t…well, we could always bomb them from orbit.” Blitz says completely serious.

“We are trying to gain those areas for our own use…right?” Arcane asks raising an eyebrow.

“I jest son. If he doesn’t come out to meet us, the mandalorians in the cities…well, you have seen our people linch someone before already.” Blitz says.

“You barely joke when it comes to war matters father. In fact, you don’t joke at all. I thought you were really going to bomb them.” Arcane points out.

“Son, you know us mandalorians. You don’t fight us the way we want, we hit you hard like sending meteors raining down on your planet. Which may happen with the Imperials.” Blitz says.

“Do we actually have a choice in sending real meteors?” Arcane asks, noting their powerful magic use and rocket tech.

“Oh, it is quite simple. We just need to use the tractor beam and we can fling them at enemies.” Blitz informs.

“EHHH?!” Arcane calls dumbfounded.

“Heheheh. Never underestimate any system son.” Blitz says.

“Trying not to.” Arcane says dryly.

“Tell your platoon to rest up and prepare for desert combat.” Blitz instructs.

“Yeah, sure.” Arcane says before walking off, scratching his head.

Twenty days had passed somewhat slowly for Arcane on this transport ship. All there was to do was practiceor just wait. After so long, it was starting to get to him. “Okay. That’s it.” Blitz finally said slamming a tablet in front of him. “Call her. At least you won’t be bored that long from all that training and sulking.” He says before walking off.

Arcane blinks confused for a moment as he watches him leave before picking up the tablet and sees that he has already prepared the number. “Maybe I really do need a break once in a while.” Arcane mutters to himself as he calls.

“Hello. Reed family castle. How can I direct your call?” A changeling answers.

“Johnny, I need to speak to Terra.” Arcane says, his mind already finding the name in the hive system.

“Oh, prince. Yes, of course.” Johnny says redirecting it and calling another line.

Arcane taps his hoof nervously as he waits before the call is answered and then a loud yawn calls out. “Who is it?”

“Terra? Are you there?” Arcane asks seeing the dark room.

A light then comes on from a lamp and Arcane sees Terra lying in bed with a messy mane. “Arcane…” Terra says smiling before yawning. “Sorry. You caught me about to sleep. What’s going on?”

Arcane smiles a bit. “Sorry for waking you. I was kinda spending so much time before a mission and the nervousness was starting to get to me.”

Terra giggles as she rubs her eyes. “He was like that too. Always wondering and waiting for the next move. Running a kingdom isn’t easy you know?”

Arcane snarks. “How many times did he bang his head into the wall?”

Terra snarks to herself as well. “I had to pull him out of the wall more times than I could count because I stopped counting.” She says before laughing.

Arcane chuckles at that before sighing. “Missed you Terra. You, mom, and everyone back home.”

Terra smiles at that. “We’re cheering for you. Make sure you don’t die. I don’t think aunty Twilight will like it if you do.”

Arcane smiles as he thinks to how she might react before sighing sadly. “Yeah. I better get back to training for the next battle. Thanks for the talk.”

Terra shrugs. “I’m your mate. Have to take care of you somehow. If a talk is all you need, just call me on…this thing.” Terra says squinting as she twists the tablet around.

Arcane chuckles. “Thanks again Terra. Night.”

“Good night…now how do you hang up again?” Terra asks herself as she pokes the tablet before Arcane does it for her and ends the call.

“All hands, battle stations! Mandalore has arrived.” Blitz calls over the intercom.

Arcane quickly rushes out of his seat and runs out before running back in and grabs his weapons and runs out again.

“The fleet is ready and I am not going to make any speeches. Remember, for the mandalorians, we go to crush the pretender and show all mandalorians who is their leader. As for the pirates and mercenaries, you are all getting paid well.” Boba says simply over the intercom.

“No kidding.” Arcane mutters to himself as he rushes to meet up with his platoon who all seemed to have very high morale hearing that.

“All ships, activate hyperdrives. We go to Mandalore.” Blitz says as he hears the hyperdrive power up.

“Here we go.” Arcane mutters as he enters the bay where most of his platoon are readying their weapons.

“Move out!” Blitz orders and Arcane felt the ship enter hyperspace.

The hyperdrive only lasted about six hours, but already the battle had begun before they had arrived. Arcane guessed the transport, like the one he was on, were told to proceed a little slower to Mandalore so not to be caught and targeted with the battleships that were already fighting.

“Status report.” Blitz demands on the bridge.

“We got three star destroyers and two Keldabe class battleships guarding the planet with eight CR90 corvette escorts. All fighters were launched and are holding even with the enemy’s TIE fighters, but we have already lost six Interceptor IV frigates and four Crusader corvettes.” A communication officer informs.

“I see. All squad leaders, status report. Are your squads ready for launch?” Blitz asks.

“Check. We are a go.” Azure reports before others relay the same response.

“Launch them.” Blitz orders before taking a seat on the captian chair of the hutt pirate ship. “Open an open communications line to the enemy fleet. I want all of them and all of Mandalore to know who we are.” Blitz says.

“Sir, we have a incoming communication from the enemy pirate fleet.” A communication officer says

“Oh, the pirates have had enough already? Open the line.” The imperial captain says with quite a bite of arrogance and smirks, thinking of what he can get from all of this to line his pockets.

Blitz sighs before the line is answered. “Whoever is the captain or leading the fleet in front of us, you have one chance to surrender. Otherwise, we will take action against you. This is your only warning.”

“Surrender? You pirate scum have quiet the ego. You are facing the imperial fleet right now.” The captain says.

There was silence for a bit. “He called us pirates, correct?”

“That’s the derogatory term he called us.”

“Oh…I was hoping my ear wasn’t filled with wax.”

“You speak to Blitzkrieg, second to Mandalore himself worm. We are here to assert his rule over all the clans and destroy all imperial forces. Either leave the system now or be amongst the first to die.” Blitz says simply, chilling many of the pirate crew to the bone having heard of his reputation quite a bit in the hutt cartel.

“I…I don’t have to…”

“Launch the rest of the fleet. I’m done.” Blitz orders and ends the communications line.

“Father, why did you do that?” Arcane asks.

“It was not to talk to the captain. I wanted those on Mandalore to hear it. They were all watching and listening to the battle already. This was just to let them know and to inform the new pretender to the Mandalore title to know who is coming for him. Sabine Wren and her clan has already seen to killing the last one already. I only wish I was there to see Gar Saxon die.” Blitz says as Arcane felt something move in the ship before seeing a few things streak by them.

“Um…was that big brother?” Arcane asks, looking out the window.

“One of those.” Blitz says as the new mechs flew towards the battle while a few positioned themselves in between the fleet.

Arcane watches as the ones positioning themselves in the back with the fleet hold up long rifles with charging rails in the barrels that is now pointed at the imperial fleet. Before he looks over and sees a third group of the mechs stayed behind between the imperial and their fleet, weapons on their backs aiming towards the ships and seems to be charging up.

However, what seems to be the main show is the group of mechs still flying towards the imperial fleet, cannon guns in their hands and gatling guns on their backs. “Isn’t that your mech design, father?” Arcane finally questions, seeing the same thing from all of them, however the ones staying with the fleet has been heavily modified with support for the weapons on their backs.

“Still in field testing stage here.” Blitz says proudly. “And your big brother is leading the charge.”

“Oh…this might be interesting. Can we get a bit of magnification to watch closely? Kinda interested in seeing their actions.” Arcane asks, walking back over to him.

“Magnify the battle.” Blitz orders as the crew of the ship now scrambled to follow his orders. Some of the hidden R&D recording the soon to be battle to take back to their mech factory.

“What the…what the heck am I looking at?!” The imperial captain demands angrily as the mechs came closer, their weapons looking to be priming up.

Azure smirks before his mech opened fire with it’s gatling gun, absolutely shredding a few incoming TIEs. “Terminate them.” Azure instructs.

The rest of the mechs around him immediately flew off in different directions, some going in groups of twos as they held themselves back to back, shooting down many of the TIEs, using their gatling guns to whittle them down while their main cannons in their hands were used to take the finishing shot for the most part. Some just used the gatling guns to take them out completely while others kept using the cannons using the small shields they had brought to just smash them.

“Reckless guys. Try to keep shooting them. Give the lab coat guys a show.” Azure orders shooting a TIE coming at him dead on and makes the shrapnel pass by him. “They really need to upgrade our guns.” Azure adds and tries to fire before nothing happens. “Shit! V!” Azure yells and the mech slams it’s free fist into the gun magazine and loading mechanism, sending off a shot and hitting one of the ship’s shields. “Thanks. So use them all guys. Energy team, give them a blackout.”

“No problem.” The leader of the mid-range team says as they line up and all choose a ship to hit before their EM laser fires and hits the shields, sending out a purple wave along the lit up shield and seems to cut it out before a stray cannon fire hits one and blows up a small part of the corvette.

The mech team staying in the back with the fleet starts to charge up their railguns, each taking aim at a ship with their shields down. A streak of blue light passes by most of the fighting and hits the ships dead on, sending an explosion through three corvettes and small explosions on one of the star destroyers.

The mid-team then charges up their other weapon their back, bringing up slots for what looks like a missile launcher before four lanes open up and something charging at the forefront and then the mechs suddenly opening back a little as the recoil from their streaks of energy shots were sent off. Azure smirks as he watches the streaks fly through the void of space and then strike a single point on the ships of their choosing dead on, some hitting where the railguns have hit and breaking them further towards a scuttle.

“Having fun?” A voice asks.

Azure groans slightly. “Okay V. Back to fighting.”

“Don’t take that tone with me young man.” The AI spoke up.

“Why, oh why did your voice have to be my step mother’s?” Azure asks.

“Because of your little brother. Now then, straighten your back because your neural system needs to have your spine straight as possible to work properly.” V says motherly.

“I keep wanting to call you momma Vinyl, but she would never tell me that. She would have me slouch all day.” Azure says.

“TIE.” V points out and Azure quickly smacks it with a fist in one of its fins and sends it spiraling into one of their corvette ships. “Are these TIEs made of paper mache?”

“No, but they are cheap.” Azure says before shooting them forward to one of the corvette before unloading a few shots into the bridge.

The corvette seems to dip in space as the bridge goes up in flames. Leading to some photon torpedoes coming from their side and strike some of the damaged parts and makes it explodes into large pieces. Azure turns to the far support mechs and sees two with bright hot photon blasters on their backs. “Keep it offline for a minute or two. That thing is way too close to the energy tank and we don’t want them to go off.”

“Calculations complete. There is a fifty-three percent chance that the marked starfighters will start trying to divert to the heavy support.” V says as several TIEs started to gain a thick red outline.

Azure smirks. “Mid-range, show them your strikes for close encounters.”

The mid-range mechs holds up their guns in their hands that seems to be a large bulky type with a large drum in it as a magazine. They immediately get their targets from Azure and aim before firing off some heavy brutal up close shots of shotgun blasts in quick succession and shreds the TIEs as they came by close enough, sending some careening off to the side and explode. However, two of the mechs had their guns suddenly blow up in their face and sent hot pellets everywhere, destroying the gun beyond usability.

“Dammit! I sometimes hate new tech. Alright, get behind the rest. Only use your main VS weapons.” Azure orders quickly as the two put their guns behind on their hips.

“Azure. Target this ship. I want that bridge destroyed.” Blitz says sending him a target with the imperial in command’s ship was.

Azure looks over before V calculated the weak points. “Copy.” Azure quickly steers the mech toward the capital ships, some mid-range mechs giving some EM blasts at the shields and knocks out areas of it. Azure grins as he flies in close to the hull and follows the shield receding as he fires off random shots from his cannon into the hull just to keep damaging it. He flies toward the ship bay and starts to fire off gatling gun shots everywhere he can, damaging the bay areas while shooting his cannon at the hinge lines lining the walls, damaging each and every one before flying up to the bridge. Azure smirks as he stares the windows as the shields dissipate over it while the EM fire blast the area around him and hurried the shield along. Azure then holds up his cannon before letting off some shots and firing off the gatling guns at the same time, filling the glass full of holes and shredding the bridge.

“I told you. You should have surrendered.” Blitz says coming on the communication line before cutting it off just as quick as the captain looks shocked at the mech firing into the room before a shot hits him in the chest, leaving a giant gaping hole there, sending him to the ground before the bridge decompresses, sending the rest of the bridge occupants screaming as they are sucked into space where they are violently killed via explosive decompression.

“Done.” Azure says before looking to the gun as some bodies float by. “The chain is jammed. I need to head back and get it fixed.” Azure says and flies back to the docking ship.

“To all remaining ships. I know you are filled with mandalorians. Defect to the forces of Mandalore or you will be executed where you are.” Blitz says with all the menace that he could muster, making Azure and Arcane smile, knowing they had heard a great deal worse from their mothers.

Azure sighs as he docks into the ship as some come back and grabs some backup weapons while a robot arm grabs his gun and takes it away to a processing table. “Well, dad? Did they?”

“They are not responding. All ships, fighters, and titans, advanced. Focus all fire on the nearest Keldabe battleship.” Blitz says.

Arcane sighs and shakes his head disappointed at that as the firepower of the entire fleet starts to shred and obliterate the Keldabe battleship. “Too bad. But then, they would have stabbed us in the back.”

“Any questions?” Blitz says over the open channel one more time and many notice one of the two remaining star destroyers turning and powering up it’s hyperdrive.

“Um…dad?” Arcane points out as many of the weapons turns toward it, ready to fire on command.

“Ignore it. Target the ones still firing.” Blitz says noticing that a few of the TIEs had broken off and were fleeing for the planet.

All firepower turns to whoever is firing back now, destroying and shredding them. Arcane then sees Azure’s mech fly off to meet up with his line of forces and Arcane turns to Blitz. “So…this is what you have been hiding…not bad.”

“These are basically fielded prototypes. All ships, form a blockade and transports, start heading down.” Blitz says getting up.

“What’s the next big plan for me?” Arcane asks curiously.

“It’s your turn.” Blitz says leading him to a transport.

“Okay then.” Arcane says simply as he follows his father.

“Start the landing.” Blitz says.

“Lieutenant, is it finally time for us to deploy?” A private asks Arcane as he walked up.

Arcane hums a bit before looking over his platoon. “Yes. We are in the first wave. So make sure you have everything. Don’t want to leave a single ammo pack behind when it can save your life.”

“Suit up. First wave departing.” A sergeant calls as the transports took off.

“That’s our cue.” Arcane calls out and watches as his platoon walks to the transports.

“Yes it is.” Blitz says getting in the transport with two sith flanking him.

“Dad.” Arcane says simply, watching his platoon get on the transport. “Are you ready?”

“More than ready.” Blitz says as many of Arcane’s platoon were now uptight and nervous with Mandalore’s second riding with them.

Arcane sighs. “Just don’t hit by a shot…old man. We kinda love to see the commander only doing a return fire.” Arcane jokes slightly as he smirks.

“Just try to keep up.” Blitz informs as Arcane puts on his helmet and waits for the initial rocking of defensive fire on them, but it never came.

“No defense.” Arcane simply stated instead of a question.

“No. I have prepared even for this battle.” Blitz says as they soon land and at the entrance, were five mandalorians in full armor with insignias that Arcane knew were not apart of their forces.

“Clan Bryt is with you.” One of them informs.

“Clan Rook is with you.” Another says.

“Clan Eldar is with you.” Another says.

“Clan Kryze is with you.” Another says.

“Clan Vizsla is with you.” The female one in front says, finishing the five addressing Blitz.

“Good. Let’s begin.” Blitz informs, walking with the five with his two sith following.

“The clans all know what is coming. Most are staying neutral while clan Desh and Genta are supporting the traitors. The only ones who are showing public support with clan Saxon now.” One of them informs as they walk with Blitz.

“Then they will die.” Blitz informs.

“We have already prepared a forward base and our clans tell us where you need us.” The clan Eldar’s representative says.

“I want you to put pressure on the neutral clans for now. Discourage them from aiding the fake mandalore. As for you showing the support immediately, I will ask Mandalore himself to divide all assets of the three traitorous clans amongst yourselves.” Blitz informs.

“That would be helpful on our end.” The representative agrees on.

“Mandalore was also quite clear he doesn’t want to see the traitor alive.” Blitz informs

“Understood.” They all say, knowing what that meant.

“This is battalion Sypher. We are encountering stiff imperial resistance.” A turian calls over the coms as they were exchanging fire with a regiment of storm troopers with an AT-ST providing support.

“Try to hold out. We are sending you backup.”

“We can’t. They are trying to push us back.” The turian calls over the radio as the heavy blaster they were trying to set up was blasted by the AT-ST, destroying it and the three trying to set it up. “Shit. They are tearing us apart. We need help now!” The turian calls again before something hits the AT-ST, blowing the head up and sending it falling over. Crushing a few hapless stormtroopers who were either too slow or not paying attention.

“Will this do?” Arcane asks over the radio as his transport flies over the area and back higher into the sky to escape the foot troopers blaster fire. “We can punch through and make a hole for you. All you have to do is get through.”

“Alright. Punch the hole!” The turian calls as his regiment rallies and starts firing back at the stormtroopers more.

“You heard the guy.” Arcane says back to the team behind him and the pilot turns around to make a pass and to let the team make the hole the turian regiment need.

“This city seems to not want to fall.” One of the privates comments as he snipes a commanding officer in the head.

“Well…what else do you think will happen when you have a planet that gives a great terraforming test bed area? I mean, just imagine the tech that can come out when they turn the atmosphere against us…oh wait. My species already do that…hmm…” Arcane hums as he looks through the weapon racks before taking out another rifle with a scope on it and quickly changes the private’s gun to let him quickly look through it. “I know. But this one can track heads when shooting. Gotta love some old style tech on new laser gun.”

“Lieutenant, we have finally overrun the city’s town hall.” The private carrying communication equipment says.

“Good. That can help bring down a little morale.” Arcane says as he thinks of the plan and what else to help along as a hole in the line is made for the turnian.

“Jetpack enemies!” One of them calls, opening up with the heavy blaster at the incoming enemies.

Arcane looks over and sees some mandalorian jumpback forces coming at them and firing off blasters. Arcane quickly slides the door close and they hear the blaster fire hitting it. “Okay. Wasn’t expecting that part…” Arcane notes before taking out a hand blaster before opening the door again and they start firing at the jet packers in the air, making it a bit hard to move around as they kept firing closer and closer. “Give a tracking shot…turn it on!” Arcane yells to the sniper and he looks to the scope before flipping a switch and starts to track the jet packers as they move around. After the team hears a beep, a shot from the sniper is left from them and hits one of them in the head, sending him down. “Get the rest. The rest of us, keep those guys from landing and on us. We can’t let them get back to forcing the other teams to move back.”

“I wonder how the batarians are doing at the other city?” One of the privates questions as they kept trying to blast them out of the sky.

“They must be having just as hard of a time. I know the pirates are being used as fodder to route or slow down relief forces to the cities.” Arcane informs before using the force to send many of the jetpack troops into a wall head first to snap their necks.

“Raider platoon, come in.” The comms says.

“Raider platoon here, what’s going on?” Arcane asks into the comms as he kept firing.

“We have another call for aide for you in sector four. Get over there.” The comm says.

“Copy. You heard the man. Stop playing around.” Arcane calls out before they all closed in the gap of blaster fire and killed the rest of the jet packers before shutting the door and flying off.

Thus, the battles over the planet raged as, after a few more hours, the city finally fell to the turians. “Raider platoon, come in.” The comms answered as Arcane wiped his brow.

“Raider here.” Arcane answered as his platoon looks over the captured city.

“Get everyone to move up immediately. The pretender has been spotted at sector forty-five.” The comm reports.

“Thanks for the info. We’ll get over there soon.” Arcane responds before looking to his platoon now readying their weapons. “Don’t muck about. Let’s get moving.” He orders and the transports start to fly to the sector.

“What is it Lieutenant?” One of the privates asks.

“We found the pretender. They ordered us to move and get there now. Don’t mess around with this one.” Arcane says as he looks over the group.

“Whoa. Did the pirates do that?” One of the turians said after a while, spotting a battlefield in the desert with craters and many dead bodies everywhere.

Arcane hums as they all look over. “Would be miracle if they did…but I somehow doubt it.”

“Then who did that, the batarians?” The turian asks as they fly by the smoking wreck of a AT-AT.

“Nope…I know only other group that can do all this.” Arcane says sighing.

“You don’t mean the commander’s two regiments did all of this?” The turian asks in shock as many others were looking out the windows to see this now.

“Who else would leave a smoking AT-AT with a giant hole in it while none of their own forces behind?” Arcane asks to them.

“There has to be some of our side down there somewhere.” Another turian says before they come to the end of the battlefield.

“Don’t doubt those two regiments. They can handle things a lot better than we do and they are of my father’s personal forces.” Arcane admits.

“Your father? Southern Cross?” One of his subordinates asks.

“Yeah, he is my dad.” Arcane informs before they heard an explosion and were rocked by the concussion wave following it.

“What was that?” Another asks.

“All hands, get ready. We are coming in hot to a fire fight!” The pilot yells.

“You heard him!” Arcane calls, getting up and holds onto the parachute bar. “Ready your weapons and start shooting back. You die at the door, I’m not forgiving you.”

“Sir!” His men calls.

The back door soon opened as they felt their transport wobble from an explosion and see a stream of smoke coming from it. “Jump now!” Arcane orders.

The hanger door opens up and they all run to the exit and jump out the ship, activating their jetpack thrusters to slow their fall, their blasters already firing off at any of the enemies they can see that are firing back at them.

The battle was raining hellfire as there was blaster fire everywhere with the imperials were desperately trying to hold on as their walkers were destroyed by seemingly invisible weapons as quickly as they get them to the front along with seemingly random parts of their defensive line. Arcane got his men into formation as quickly as he could seeing this. Then, he saw it. The last remaining star destroyer that had escaped the battle starting to defend, many parts of it ablaze as fighters and bombers made continuous runs on it as it was starting to get close to crashing.

“That should hurt morale.” Arcane noted as he gives a few shots back from his cover while keeping a lookout over his soldiers.

“Do it.” A voice says over the communicators before a string of explosions is heard before as a few buildings start to collapse on the defensive line.

“And that’s another morale dropper.” Arcane also noted before firing a few more shots and hits two of them.

“Charge!” A sith officer calls and soon all the mandalorians started to charge forward, either running or jetpack, blasting fleeing imperials or those with imperial allegiance.

“And we have won.” Arcane sighs as he keeps firing where he was before coming out of cover and starts to walk and carefully snipe the backs of the imperials running away and trying to fire back blindly.

The closest ones go down first as the fire clears up the retreating forces. All before a fire starts to come in from the other side and forces the enemy to move back before they are gunned down and then slowly surrender as they have no more ways out. Some even choosing to commit suicide before the mandalorian forces could reach them.

Blitz was walking down a hallway, his two sith bodyguards and six more sith and mandalorians following till he came to a sealed door before blowing it in. The bodyguards and soldiers moved like lightning into the command room, killing all but Tiber Saxon. Blitz says nothing as he lifts the imperial governor and pretender to the title of mandalore with a force choke. “Mandalore wishes to see you.”

As Blitz did this, his followers started to sabotage the enemy, sending bad orders intentionally and shutting down what they could.

A few hours later at the castle of the capital, cameras were lined up, thinking that Blitz would make a speech to the mandalorians, but instead Boba Fett, Mandalore himself, stepped up to the podium.

“I’m not going to give you a speech like the rebels do. I’m going to give you facts and truths.” Bobba says as he looks over the assembled crowd of mandalorians. “I have the helmet of Mandalore, we all know what that means.” He says, holding up the damaged helmet for all to see. “And this…” he continues as a man with a bag over his head is dragged out by a pair of heavily armed and armored mandalorians, “is the pretender Tiber Saxon…” He says before whipping out a blaster and shooting Tiber in the head once then in his body multiple times after he had fallen over. “I do not tolerate traitors to our people…and so that means we have a war to fight…a long and bloody one, like the crusades of old. Brothers and sisters of Mandalore, we must go to the aid of the Citadel Alliance. They have fought valiantly against the failing and sluggish beast that is the empire.” He finishes before looking at the body of Tiber Saxon with disdain. “Do not fail us as this one has…” He finishes before turning and walking off stage.

What proceeded was uprooting and looting of everything that could be taken with them. All of MandalMotors uprooted itself bringing all the inventory and partially finished, weapons, ammo, and vehicles and loaded them onto the ships the pirates had brought onto the planets of the system. The ships that were spaceworthy and had a hyperdrive were also used to transport mandalorians themselves. After which, every building and structure were destroyed by either the ships or explosives the mandalorians themselves planted. With that, all the ships entered hyperspace, heading straight to the allied allies and more than four million mandalorian men, women, and children entered the alliance, following their Mandalore.

“Let’s go get all the gear unloaded.” One of Blitz’s regiments officer’s orders to the rest as they unload all the equipment they brought back. The majority of the ships had kept going deeper into allied territory.

Arcane meanwhile was looking over his men. He had fought the biggest battle yet and sighs in relief that he and most of his men made it through alive.

He shakes his head lightly at the graves of helmets and guns littered about. He sighs as he looks at them all and doesn’t realize that he changed into his pony form. Only when a hand being placed on his shoulder made him stop and look beside him to see another mandalorian looking towards him and leads him to look at himself before changing back.

“I bet they are laughing their asses off they were lead by a children’s fairy tale while the enemy is turning it into a nightmare.” The mandalorian chuckles at.

Arcane cracks a smile and shakes his head amused. “Yeah. Maybe they are taking shots every time the enemy does a double take and leads them to get shot.”

“So you going to go get some sleep at the barracks?” The mandalorian asks.

“Yeah. Need a little shut eye and I would be back on my hooves.” Arcane replies.

“What about your men?” The mandalorian asks.

Arcane sighs and looks at them all. “They deserve whatever rest they can get. I swear…the thing they wish the most at the moment, is a hot shower and a soft bed.”

“Not like them, are they?” The mandalorian asks guestering to Blitz’s personal soldiers again.

Arcane shakes his head. “No. Battle-hardened is more a curse than anything. Not a war hero status. Just a title that follows you wherever you go. My men should count themselves lucky they are not at that stage yet. Better in battle…but in life, that’s a rarity.”

It was a few days later when Arcane was called into a meeting with many other lieutenants and captain of the infantry. “At ease.” A lieutenant colonel sith turian instructs, getting to the front.

Arcane sighs as he sits down in one of the many chairs for all of the fighters in the room as the screen lit up with maps and drawings.

“We now have a new offensive in the works,” the officer informs, getting Arcane to straighten up, now knowing he had to pay close attention. “Most of the fleet will be staying here to continue strengthening and building up our foothold while three detachments will be sent to attack the sectors of Velcar, Albarrio, and Cassander. We will be under general Blitzkrieg attacking the Albarrio sector,” the officer informs, making Arcane make a note to study up on the Albarrio sector before being shipped out as the officer started going over intelligence they had on the moth and the garrisons.

Arcane hums as he looks up the general information on the systems in the sector that everyone would have access too. “Fourteen systems, huh?” Arcane says aloud before clicking on the first. “Akbarrio system. Number of planets is three. The only habitable one is Aris. Aris is mostly composed of forests and rainforests with a friendly species of monkey like scavengers. Population is around three million.” Arcane reads before clicking the next, deciding to go by alphabetical.

“Ancathia system. Number of planets, three. Number of habitable ones…one again. Anciathia is an ocean world. Oh, that will be fun for whoever fights there.” Arcane says sarcastically before continuing. “Breathable atmosphere, population eighty-one thousand. Temperatures, comfortable for most species…may not be a bad beach home planet.” Arcane says looking at some pictures of the planet to see that the land was a few islands before continuing. “No known intelligent native life. The system has an asteroid belt.” Arcane reads.

“Anemcoro system, three planets…all but Anemcoro itself has two moons each. Temperature cold. About negative four to twenty all the time, huh? That calls for cold climate gear. Mostly being terraformed, huh? Looks like the empire is trying to make Anemcoro more comfortable to humans. No problem with the atmosphere it seems and the government is, of course, an imperial governorship. The population is around four million.” Arcane reads before moving on.

“Alright. Next is Bar Neth system. Five suns…holy…niece. Five planets...two are gas giants, two habitable planets, and has an asteroid belt. Bar Neth, a terraformed desert planet. Now an agricultural world and popular tourist attraction.” Arcane reads seeing many advertisements like zero g golf and stuff. “This will be a high priority for dad for the farms and stuff.” Arcane says to himself before continuing onto the other planet. “Ergin…a wetland planet of average temperatures…it’s a swamp planet…and apparently an abandoned colony to boot.” Arcane reads.
I would say low to medium so that the big guns don’t scare off tourists?yeah

“Dibrook system…two planets. None habitable.” Arcane says skimming

“Haverling system. Three planets. One habitable…Haverling…forest like planet. Average temperatures. Breathable…has a shipyards?” Arcane asks, having stopped skimming to double check. “They do…though their population is only around ninety thousand.” Arcane says finishing reading about it.

“Marmoth system. Four planets with one habitable. Marmoth is a plateau-like planet. Average temperatures from thirty to fifty-six degrees celsius. The population is seven million and…whoa, this is a major production planet.” Arcane reads. “This will be a major fight. Dad will want to take this and the imperials will fight tooth and nail for it.” Arcane comments, adding it to the notes he was taking to give to his platoon.

“Morishim system. Six planets. One of them habitable…Morishim…mountainous…comfortable temperatures. Atmosphere is good. Native species is the Morish a short, furry, loud-voiced species.” Arcane reads, not seeing much of value on the system.

“Moskk system…two planets each with a moon. Neither are habitable.” Arcane reads.

“Quintus system. Two planets. One is ice, the other…a volcanic one that is colonized?” Arcane read surprised before starting to read more, now interested. “Deria temperature…comfortable for most, that is a shocker. Guess dragons would love this planet. Atmosphere is Type IV…looking that up real quick. Type IV atmospheres are not only poisonous, but they are so reactive that they will cause injury to persons who are exposed to it. Environment suits, spacesuits or life-support equipment is required to venture through the atmosphere, or characters will suffer burns and other grievous injuries. If the planet is frigid, a thermal suit may be necessary. These atmospheres may also be flammable or highly explosive…still might be habitable for them or even the Krogan. Population is three thousand and the government on the planet is tribal, huh? I wonder if the krogan could do well here?”

“Reynon system. Four planets with one habitable and has an asteroid belt. A cave world…this planet is dominated by an immense network of caves running throughout the crust. These caves are often caused by volcanic activity, and if the activity is ongoing, areas can quickly become dangerous as lava and toxic gases return to fill the caves they created.” Arcane reads looking up a definition for the classification for a planet. “Temperatures…another cold climate planet. I can see why they live in the cave systems. And, oh look, imperial governorship.”

“Scipio system…I think that is the headquarters of the banking clan…three planets with Scipio being the only habitable one…it is a frigid climate and mountainous terrain…this is the headquarters after all. I wonder if the one in charge of this sector has raided all the vaults on the planet yet.” Arcane says before moving on.

“Sinjan system…no habitable planets. Next. Oh, I am at the last…I saved you for a reason. Mygeeto system four planets…one habitable with an asteroid field. Mygeeto, a frigid mountainous planet with…crystallized glaciers? Whoa. I wonder if there will be any Kyber crystals to be found there? Looks like this is also going to be a major target if what I am reading is accurate.” Arcane says jotting some of it down.

DINK

"Oh shut up." A groggy voice says getting out of bed. Rolling out of bed onto the floor was a blue unicorn. The unicorn trots over to the bathroom before doing his annual routine. "Begin cleaning process." A mechanical like voice says before the shower comes on. After a bit, the water ceased. "Beginning drying." The voice says before a massive wind blew up from the floor, flinging the water off of him, but making him into a huge ball of fluff. "Note to self, reset that part." The unicorn says using his magic to make his coat go back to normal.

He sighs and heads back out and looks around his messy room. "Also, clean." He said before getting to the closet and throwing on a black shirt, pants, and a black overcoat. He then walked through the door and came to a cockpit and sat in the seat. "Minerva, bring up the news please." He asks as he looks into space.

"Understood Blitzkrieg." Minerva, the ship's A.I., said.

After about an hour of surfing through the galactic news channels something finally caught his attention. "The terrorists who bombed the peace summit on Pilularis 5 have finally been identified. Unfortunately, the galactic peace keepers were unable to apprehend them as they fled into the Mapperuious system which is classed as an E underdeveloped planet and because of article…" Blitzkrieg turns off the T.V. and activates a console. "Minerva, find the bounties of these terrorists and criminals in the government jobs. While I look up the system in the star map." Blitzkrieg says starting to search and read up on the system the news said the fled into.

As Minerva brought up each contract, Blitzkrieg read up on the system and the only habitable planet and its inhabitants. After finish reading in took a deep breath. "Look like I'm heading home. Minerva, get me Malgus on the line will you?" Blitzkrieg asks.

"Of course sir." Minerva said before a dialing noise is heard.

Blitzkrieg waited till a picture came up of an alien that look slightly avian with a set of mandibles around its mouth. "Hey Malgus, I need to stock up a bit." Blitzkrieg says.

"Ah Southern Cross, my favorite Equestrian." Malgus greets.

"Yeah, yeah, you're my favorite Turian as well." Blitzkrieg says.

Malgus chuckles. "Anyway, what do you need now, a WMD?" He asks jokingly.

"No, to stock up. I have a few bounties to take." Blitzkrieg says.

Malgus nods. "Who's the lucky mare, as your kind likes to call it?"

"The terrorists who bombed the summit on Pilularis 5, I believe your species representative was injured badly from it." Blitzkrieg says.

Malgus sighs. "Yeah, spirits help them. Well, what do you need?" He asks holding up a data pad.

"The usual and one good and reliable stealth generator compatible to a model E8-6G armor." Blitzkrieg says.

Malgus nods. "Anything else?" He asks typing that in the data pad as a list shows up on Blitzkrieg's screen.

"Actually triple the amount on the fourth item and that is I will need." Blitzkrieg says.

Malgus nods and the list refreshes. "It that all? I know your style of at least trying out my new tech."

"I have heard about an 'Electric Whip', can fry a droid in a few seconds. Know anything about that?" Blitzkrieg asks.

Malgus chuckles. "Actually it's an electric bola and can be used like a whip provided you have the right equipment so you don't get shocked. Want it and the equipment?" He asks holding a talon above his data pad.

"Yeah, send it as well. I'll see what kind of trouble I can cause because of it." Blitzkrieg says.

Malgus chuckles and presses a few things and makes some numbers appear. "Alright, just don't use it badly, I don't need a trace back to me or my reputation ruined."

"Yeah, little luck of that they fled to a class E system, you know what that means." Blitzkrieg says.

"Gotcha. I'll be expecting you soon to pick this stuff personally." Malgus says ending transmission.

"Minerva, plot course for Omega." Blitzkrieg says and soon the ship enters hyperspace.

72 galactic hours later, Blitzkrieg steps out of his ship and onto a planet and sends out a few stealth probes from the ship to search for his targets. "Go." Blitzkrieg orders.

Minerva beeps into his intercom. "Scan started and will be expected to complete the set area in 10 minutes."

"Send the results to my communicator then start widening the search parameters, I'm going to see the town nearby." Blitzkrieg says as the ships started to blend with its surroundings.

"Of course sir." Minerva said as everything locked up.

Blitzkrieg starts walking through the forest as he pace as his way through it. At the edge of the forest he sees the town not too far away and keeps walking towards it. 'It's strange being amongst fellow Equestrians.' Blitzkrieg thinks as he enters the town. 'Now to find out if any of them have seen or heard anything weird lately.' Blitzkrieg thinks as he sees a pink earth Equestrian walking towards him. "Excuse me." Blitzkrieg says to her.

Pinkie Pie looks over and gasp. "An intergalactic bounty hunter?! Yes, the game finally came to life!" She cheered making everypony look at her weird.

Blitzkrieg's eyes were near the size of saucers plates. 'How did she know?' He thought.

Pinkie Pie sped towards him. "Hey, are you similar to that prey guy?"

"Ok, questioning if you are insane at this point." Blitzkrieg says.

Pinkie giggles. "I'm not insane, just happy. Now, are you that prey guy?"

"You have completely lost me." Blitzkrieg says.

Pinkie brings out a poster of a pony dressed in a thin sweatshirt, cargo pants, a beanie cap, and has a banderol around his shoulder and down to his sides where he has more bags and weapons while holding up a weapon in his hoof, all the while tuned back to the viewer. "This pony, is this you? You kinda look like it."

"No, that isn't me." Blitzkrieg says.

Pinkie whines as she brings the poster down. "Aww! I really wanted this to be real, because they cancelled this thing!" She then throws the poster down and proceed to stomp on it. "Stupid company!" She then stops and turns around before kicking up dust onto the poster as a last insult.

"What is she on about?" Blitzkrieg asks before she gasps.

Pinkie then turns around. "I have to throw you a party." She said before running off.

"Now my confusion is tripled." Blitzkrieg says.

"You're not the only one." A voice said behind him.

Blitzkrieg turns around and sees a purple alicorn. "Hello, can I help you?" She asks.

"Um…yes, I'm just passing through and looking for any new news." Blitzkrieg said.

Twilight thinks for a few. "Not much goes on, try a newspaper."

"I mean anything unusual, like unexplained lights, noises, or unidentified creatures." Blitzkrieg says trying to be a little clearer.

Twilight looks up. "Well, there was some unexplained stars moving about. I just chalked that up to Princess Luna trying something new."

"Strange stars you say." Blitzkrieg says thinking.

Twilight nods. "Yeah, there a lot of them, tried to talk to Princess Luna, but she hasn't mailed back."

"Ok thanks." Blitzkrieg says as he starts walking away.

Twilight nods. "You're welcome. Say, do you have a last name?"

"Apple." Blitzkrieg says leaving.

Twilight looks a little surprised. "Apple?" She asks herself.

After his meeting, Blitzkrieg found a hill with a perfect view of the sky and started waiting and watching, all the while trying to occupy himself with playing with the rocks with his telekinesis. His boredom and thoughts were interrupted when he heard. "Heads up!" From the sky.

Looking up he quickly dodges out of the way and lets the blue pegasus crash into the ground. "Nice landing." He said sarcastically.

"Ow." The pegasus mare says.

Blitzkrieg sighs and helps her up. "You okay?"

"Yeah, nothing is broken and this isn't the first time." She says.

Blitzkrieg allows a little smile to come onto his face. "Really now? Not the first? You must really be bad at flying."

"What was that?!" The mare yells now in his face.

Blitzkrieg wordlessly pushes her back a little with his hoof. "Personal space."

The mare growls. "Listen buddy, I'm the best flyer around."

"Must not be much competition then." Blitzkrieg says examining her and found she was quite fit, most likely athletic.

The mare stomps her hoof. "I'm serious! I can beat you in an iron pony competition."

"Not interested." Blitzkrieg says neutrally, almost instantly surprising the mare a bit.

The mare huffs. "Yeah, with that fancy horn, I doubt you can beat me in everything."

"Yeah, yeah, braggers usually can't back it up." Blitzkrieg says becoming more bored with the conversation than even yawns.

The mare growls before smirking. "I see, you don't want to lose to a mare."

"Gender has nothing to do with it, but if that's what you tell yourself go ahead." Blitzkrieg says yawning louder.

The mare growls before launching herself at him and pinning him down. "Listen, you got to show respect."

"I show respect to whom I want nopony else." He says kicking her off of him and into the tree nearby to her shock.

The mare's head then pops back out. "How…?" She then sees something running along his legs under his clothing. "What the heck are you wearing?"

"Noneya." Blitzkrieg says.

The mare jumps down and lands near him. "I mean this." She said poking one of his legs.

"Like I said, noneya business you varmint." Blitzkrieg says letting a country accent slip a bit with his annoyance.

The mare raises an eyebrow before slapping a hoof onto his leg and then hits something ding like metal. "What?"

Blitzkrieg looks increasingly annoyed and starts walking away, saying nothing else. The mare then runs to him. "Hey!" She yells before trying to jump on him.

Blitzkrieg catches her hoof in the air and throws her back into the tree, making her see stars for a bit. After shaking her head a bit, she thinks. 'Was that a brace?'

Blitzkrieg sighs before his communicator beeps. Holding a hoof to his ear and taking a quick look around. "What is it?"

Minerva actually makes a sighing sound. "There is a lock on a target about twenty klicks due north of your current position."

"Confirmed, start scanning from orbit for any satellites as you widen the search parameter." Blitzkrieg says.

There was a pause. "Of course sir." She said before signing off.

Blitzkrieg starts walking towards the town, hoping to lose the blue mare from earlier and notices his over coat was ripped from the mare. "Great, I hope somepony here is good at repairing clothes." He says before noticing some metal is showing and holds the ripped part closed with his magic.

Seeing a cafe nearby he goes over to two random mares sitting down. "Excuse me, is there a tailor nearby?" Blitzkrieg asks very politely.

The green mint pony looks up from her newspaper. "Ummm….sure. There is one that way. Looks like a carousel." She said pointing in that direction.

"Thank you." Blitzkrieg says walking towards where she pointed and soon came to a boutique. Walking up to the door he knocks on it. "Hello?"

"Hello, welcome to Carousel Boutique, where everything is sheq, unique, manefic." A young white unicorn filly with green eyes opens the door and says reading from, what looks like a card. "Sorry, still practicing my motto for the store."

"That's fine. I was wondering if I could get my overcoat repaired." Blitzkrieg says in a friendly tone, not talking down to her like the young filly was used to from customers she didn't know.

The foal nods. "Of course, take it off and my sister will see what she can do." She said walking over to her workbench where a bigger mare version of her is. "Rarity, we got a customer!" She calls.

The mare looks up in her red glasses. "Oh my, such disorderly clothes."

"He says he wants it mended." The foal says.

Rarity looks him over. "Well I can't send a costumer out like that. I'll shall remake them and enhance them. Would you mind…um…taking them off?" She asks slightly embarrassed.

Blitzkrieg chuckles nervously with a small blush.

"I think he is embarrassed." The foal whispered to Rarity.

Rarity nervously chuckles as well. "There's a changing blinds right over." She said pointing to them.

"Um…thank you." Blitzkrieg says going over to it and closing it before throwing his overcoat over the blinds and waited inside.

"If you don't me mind asking, where are you from?" Rarity asks as she got to work.

"All over really. I do a lot of travelling." Blitzkrieg half lies as he looks at his screen on his foreleg to check up on the status of everything.

"Oh my. Did you see Prance?" Rarity asks as she works noticing though the clothes didn't look like it they were well put together.

"Um…no, I have yet to visit there, maybe on a future trip I will." Blitzkrieg says pressing a few things on the screen.

"Yes, so what brings you to Ponyville?" Rarity asks.

"Business mostly." Blitzkrieg says getting catched up on the progress of the scanning.

Rarity nods as she starts working on other holes and rips. "Well I hope you find this place extraordinary. There is a lot to do here."

"Hopefully, I will be about to experience them while I am here if my business will allow it." Blitzkrieg says.

"Oh my, how rude of me, I haven't introduced myself. I'm Rarity and you've met my sister Sweetie Belle." Rarity says.

"Apple Blitzkrieg." Blitzkrieg says.

Rarity smiles as she finished the last of the stitching. "Charmed. All done." She before tossing the overcoat back over the blinds.

"Thank you." Blitzkrieg says putting it back on.

After Blitzkrieg leaves, Rarity put two and two together. "Apple? Could he be kin to the Apples?" Rarity asks.

Blitzkrieg yawns as he passes the same cafe from before shrugging and then sitting down on one of the mushroom seats.

"Um…excuse me sir, would you mind sharing your table with another?" A waiter pony asks.

"Um…sure, I don't see why not." Blitzkrieg says.

After he left a yellow mare sits down across from him. "I hope you don't mind." She asks shyly as she half covers her face with her mane.

"Not at all." Blitzkrieg says raising the menu back up, but to his annoyance he couldn't read it and was forced to sneakily use his communicator translator to learn what it said.

The mare looks at him again from behind her menu. "Umm…where are you from…if that's okay?"

"Oh, I'm from all over. I travel mostly and don't really have one place I call home." Blitzkrieg says.

"Oh my." The mare said. "It is…dangerous?"

"Ah, so, so, but at least I don't have to pay insurance for natural disasters." Blitzkrieg halfheartedly jokes.

The mare giggles. "That is true. So…where do you currently live now?"

"Home to me is where I am." Blitzkrieg says.

The mare nods. "That is also true." She looks back at her menu. "Want to share? We can split the bill."

"That sounds nice, but please allow me to pay." Blitzkrieg says like a gentlecolt.

The mare blushes a bit. "Oh…um…thanks." She said before giving her order.

After a lovely meal and paying Blitzkrieg says, "It has been a pleasure, but I must be off." And starts walking away as the sun sets.

Blitzkrieg sighs as he starts heading back to his ship when his communicator beeps. "Yes?"

Minerva is silent for a bit. "You know that this is a primitive planet, right? There aren't any satellites other than the moon."

"One of the residents confirmed there were strange lights in the sky at night, keep scanning. Tonight, I'm going to go see if I can see these things." Blitzkrieg says charging up his communicator.

"You know you don't have to do that every time you return to the ship." Minerva says.

"I know, it's just a habit of mine." Blitzkrieg says.

Minerva giggles once. "And my habit is calling you master and sir. But you don't see me groveling at your legs."

"Yeah, yeah." Blitzkrieg says disconnecting the charger and walks out into the forest again.

Blitzkrieg sighs as he messes with his screen again and turns back on the exosuit and proceeds to sprint past the manticore that was feasting on some carcass who just looks at where he was and then shrugs and goes back to eating.

"Let's see, where was that spot again?" He asks as he looks around for the spot where he encountered the blue mare earlier.

After a while he finds the mare laying on one of the tree's branches, just looking at the sky. "Brace, brace?" He heard her whisper to herself.

'Oh great, she is still there.' He thinks, starting to sneak away when a pink pony lands in front of the blue mare.

"Hey Dashie! Have you seen that new pony?" The pink pony asks.

"Is he blue?" The pegasus asks a little startled.

"Da Ba Dee Da Ba Die." Pinkie says

"What?" She asks.

"The song silly, by Eiffel 65." Pinky says smiling as the mare just stares.

Blitzkrieg chuckles slightly. 'How could I forget that song?'

"So come on, come on, we have to go." Pinky says bouncing up and down.

The blue mare just huffs. "Pinky, he's probably left by now."

"Now my Pinkie sense tells me he is still here." Pinkie says now in a lion costume surveying the area.

Blitzkrieg just stares at the pink pony. 'How did she change into that without me noticing?'

"Alright fine, lead the way." The blue mare says before Pinky leads her along.

Blitzkrieg immediately hits his cloaking and disappears as he leans against the tree as both of them pass by. "That was close."

As the moon started to rise Blitzkrieg heard a voice from earlier. "Mr. Apple!" A young voice calls.

Blitzkrieg looks over and sees Sweetie Belle approaching. "Yes?"

"Oh there you are. You left something back at the Boutique. My sister currently has it and is looking for you at the library." Sweetie Bell says with a smile.

'I smell a trap. Oh, but what the heck, it could be good for a laugh or hurry my job up.' Blitzkrieg thinks. "Oh, then could you take me there and sorry for inconvenience." Blitzkrieg says hiding his suspicion.

Sweetie Belle waves it off. "It's okay. Come on." She said running away.

Blitzkrieg follows at a more leisurely pace, but still keeps up until he sees the library. "A tree? Your library is in a tree?" Blitzkrieg asks a little surprised.

Sweetie Belle looks at him. "Well…yeah. Books come from trees." She said heading inside and closing the door behind her.

"Oh, this I got to see." Blitzkrieg says now fully curious before opening the door and heading inside the dark room. "Hello?" He calls.

"SURPRISE!" The entire library yell catching him off guard.

'Well played pink one. Well played.' Blitzkrieg thinks.

Pinkie jumps in front of him. "So, how was it?"

"How was what?" Blitzkrieg says trying to hide his surprise.

Pinkie grins. "The surprise orgy party?"

"What!?" Everyone yells.

Pinkie laughs. "Kidding! I meant the surprise party, silly."

"Uh huh." Blitzkrieg says skeptical.

Pinkie then leans in close to his ear. "Though if you want an orgy party, just ask and I'll make it happened tomorrow night." She whispers.

"You're twisted, you know that?" Blitzkrieg asks.

"I know, I play Twister!" Pinky exclaims happily. She then leans in again. "Even, naked Twister."

Blitzkrieg raises an eyebrow. "Are you a sexual deviant?"

"Mayb…" Pinkie starts before being interrupted. "Sorry we're late ya'll." A country voice says.

Pinkie gasp before hugging the mare who walks in with a young filly with a bow and a large red stallion and wraps around her. "Yay! Now the party can really begin."

"Pinky, remember what we talked about?" Applejack asks.

Pinkie giggles. "Don't worry, this one is not an orgy."

"Sis, what's an orgy?" The young filly asks.

The mare only rubs her head. "Nothing you need to know at your age."

"Oh let me introduce you this is…" Pinky starts before Applejack sees Blitzkrieg.

"Um pardon me stranger, but have we met? You seem familiar." Applejack says.

"Now that you mention it, I am also getting the same feeling of Deja vu from you." Blitzkrieg says.

The mare looks him over. "Yeah, but I can't tell with you covered up like that."

"Oh Mr. Apple, are your related to Applejack by any chance?" Rarity asks.

Blitzkrieg rubs his head. "I think so."

"Oh maybe Mr. Blitzkrieg is a part of your extended family Applejack." Rarity suggests.

'Wait Jack, Jack, Jackie? Applejackie!' Blitzkrieg thinks before several warning bell went off in his head.

"Blitzkrieg!" Applejacks yells.

"Oh now I remember!" Both of them yell at the same time as the temperature in the room sank and both glared at each other with red hot intensity.

Applejack points a hoof at him. "You owe me for my hat!"

"Oh I remember you all too well, little Jackie. How you used to bully me every time we met." Blitzkrieg says, now both ponies practically head-butting each other.

Everypony backs off as they try to push each other. "I can't help that you are so annoying!" Applejack yells.

"And can't help you think you were better than me!" Blitzkrieg says.

Big Mac seeing this tries to separate the two as Applebloom just stands there in stunned silence as Applejack was never on bad terms with any of their family.

Applejack then surprises him and grabs his head before turning in the air and landing him on the ground. "How's that for better?!"

Blitzkrieg gets up, anger now obvious as he charges and thus starts a brawl with her.

"Guys! Guys! GUYS!" A voice yelled as they fought before being pulled apart by magic. "Enough!"

Applejack had a few bruises as she panted as any damage done by her was hard to see under Blitzkrieg's clothes as he was also panting slightly as both struggled to re-engage. Soon the purple alicorn steps in between them. "Alright, now let's calm down and talk this through."

Pinkie steps up close to them and somehow brings them closer despite Twilight's magic. "I know what would fix it." She leans in close to their ears. "An orgy party to release the tension."

"You punch, I blast with magic?" Blitzkrieg asks.

"Deal." Applejack said.

After that, Pinkie was sent flying.

Meanwhile in Canterlot. "Ah, such a nice peaceful night on the throne." Luna says as she sips away at her tea.

The guard nods as he drinks his too. "Indeed, but did you have to bring the maids and more guards for this party?"

Luna smiles. "Of course, though I do like just a few mares and many stallions in one room." She said looking at the sexual acts going on in front of them.

Pinky then crashes through a window and into Luna. "Ow, but Pinkie Pie?"

Pinkie then pops her head up. "Oh, can I join? I have the town record for many stallions."

Luna looks up at her. "In thine dreams. Guards! Please us until one of us yields." She calls to the many guards now coming to them with their tools hanging out.

Back at the library in Ponyville.

"I think that is the first thing we ever did together we weren't forced to do." Blitzkrieg says.

Applejack huffs. "You'll can blame the grownups for that. They have a habit of getting everypony together."

"Well with that I'm off." Blitzkrieg says leaving.

Applejack grabs onto him. "Oh no you don't. That was the first thing we agreed on and I want us to end on happy terms."

"We are like cat and dogs fighting, this is as good terms as we have ever gotten." Blitzkrieg says trying to throw her hoof off.

Then Applejack drops the bomb. "Where have you been for nearly sixteen years? The entire family looked all over Equestria for ya."

Blitzkrieg keeps trying to get rid of her hoof as she hangs on to his overcoat. "Does it matter now?"

"Yes, we are family." She reinforced.

"Only if you go back ten generations do we have a connection, oh, and let's not forget an important fact. I'm adopted." Blitzkrieg adds.

Applejack brings him around in front of her. "Adopted or not, yer still family."

Blitzkrieg struggles in her grip. "Let go of me." He orders, his overcoat coming lose.

"Big Mac, help me take him back. Granny is going to love this." Applejack says tying him up with a lasso.

Blitzkrieg struggles in the rope. "Listen, its best I don't go."

The Apples didn't listen as Big Mac carries him away on his back.

"Dang nabbit, why didn't I ever learn teleportation?!" Blitzkrieg yells.

"Well that was…interesting?" Rainbow asks unsure.

Twilight sighs. "Maybe, maybe not. Though did you notice?"

"He was wearing a brace so he might be hurt?" Rainbow asks.

Twilight shakes her head. "The fact that, that 'brace' is all over his body and legs. So how can he fight so well if he's injured?"

"Huh?" The rest of the mane six who were still there, ask confused.

On the way back to the farm, Blitzkrieg was reduced to just glaring at Applejack. "Jackie…" His voice softer now. "Just let me go."

"No can do, you're an Apple and an Apple sticks together." Applejack says obviously not going to listen to him.

Blitzkrieg then turns his head to Big Mac and looks him over for a second. "So Macintosh, you really have grown." He says after a bit of silence.

Big Mac only grunts.

"Hard to believe you were shorter than most." Blitzkrieg says.

Big Mac only let out another grunt.

"Still silent I see." Blitzkrieg says turning his gaze to one he didn't know. "So who are you?" Blitzkrieg asks.

The filly jumps up onto Big Mac. "I'm Applebloom."

"So I have missed a few things." Blitzkrieg says.

Applejack turns to him. "Applebloom is my sister, not my daughter."

"Wasn't going to say she was." Blitzkrieg says.

"So…um…why were ya and my sister fighten? You'll are both family." Applebloom asks.

"We have a few issues to work out to say the least." Blitzkrieg says.

Applejack huffs. "More than a few."

"I was putting it nicely. Also you can't throw a decent left hook." Blitzkrieg says.

Applejack laughs once. "And you can't hit right."

"Says the mare with bruises." Blitzkrieg says.

Applejack smirks. "Battle scars."

After that Blitzkrieg remained quiet as Applebloom looked happy to meet him. "What?" He asks after a while.

"I'm just happy to meet a member of the family." Applebloom says smiling.

"It would have better if you had never met me." Blitzkrieg says.

Applebloom looks confused. "What do you mean by that?"

Blitzkrieg said nothing else. "Don't mind him sugarcube, he has never been one for much socializing and likes to keep quiet unless you provoke him into anger." Applejack says as they reach the farm.

Blitzkrieg huffs once before his communicator beeps quietly. 'No, not now.' He thinks in panic.

"What's that?" Applebloom asks as the three look around before Blitzkrieg flexes certain muscles, disconnecting the communicator, causing it to go silent.

After a while Applejack shrugs. "Must have been a bug." She said stepping onto the porch.

"Granny, we're back and we have somepony to meet you!" Applebloom yells as Big Mac sets Blitzkrieg on the couch.

A creaking sound entered their ears. "And who is this youngin?" Granny asks.

"The only one whoever truly gets under Sis's skin." Big Mac says.

Granny looks up and sees the pony on the couch. "Refresh my memory, but could you at least remove the rope?"

"No can do Granny, he might make a run for it. It's Blitzkrieg." Applejack says.

Granny laughs. "After all these times and he shows up now. Where has he been?"

"Don't know, we only found him because Pinkie threw a party for a new pony in town which was him." Applejack says.

Granny laughs again. "Splendid. I made a batch of apple pies so let's celebrate his return."

"Granny, shouldn't we send letters to the rest of the family letting them know?" Big Mac asks.

Granny waves them off. "Eh, do what you want. All I know is our big stallion must be hungry." She gets out of her chair. "I'll get the pies ready."

"Yeah, let's eat!" Applebloom exclaims.

Everypony rushes off to the kitchen. "Hello? Can somepony untie me?" Blitzkrieg asks.

Applejack comes back and carries him to the table. "Better than nothing I suppose." Blitzkrieg says, letting his country accent seep through.

Applejack drops him in a seat. "Yer darn right is it."

Blitzkrieg tried to discreetly struggle against the bonds for most of the night, but ultimately couldn't loosen Applejack's knot enough and remained at the orchard and was now laying on the couch still tied up as he assumed every other pony was asleep.

He sighs and moves a few muscles that reactive his coms. "Where have you been?"

"Yeah, been captured by my family here." Blitzkrieg says annoyed.

Minerva sighs. "Alright, I'm sending a drone and getting you out."

"No, no, I will escape on my own." Blitzkrieg says.

Minerva was silent for a bit. "I hope you know what you're doing. Anyway, I got a complete lock on one target. It's in the city north of you."

"When I get back, get me a full bio on them and any luck with scanning the atmosphere tonight?" Blitzkrieg asks.

Minerva sighs. "Only thing is a few debris, but I'm still going."

"Keep me posted, I don't like the implications of what it could mean and somepony's coming, got to go." Blitzkrieg whispers before disconnecting again.

Applejack yawns as she looks down at Blitzkrieg on the couch. "Heard mumbling, figure of checking on you."

Blitzkrieg stares up at the ceiling till he feels a blanket cover him. "Huh?" Blitzkrieg asks.

Applejack smiles as she moves the blanket around him. "I never leave family hanging."

"But you do leave them hogtied." Blitzkrieg jokes.

Applejack sighs. "Listen, I just need to know…where were you all this time?"

"I doubt you would believe me even if I told ya. So why the rope, afraid I will disappear never to be seen again without it?" Blitzkrieg asks.

Applejack looks slightly away. "Blitz, you worried so many ponies. Do you really want to cause that much pain again? To me?"

"Time will tell if I disappear from Equestria again Jackie. But for what it's worth, you grew up to be beautiful." Blitzkrieg says.

Applejack blushes. "Thanks, you didn't grew to be bad yourself."

"No, I grew up far worse." Blitzkrieg says rolling onto his side.

Applejack sighs. "Blitz, can you look at me?" Blitzkrieg sighs as rolls to face her. "You didn't grow to be a bad pony, just a thinking one. And that's the best pony."

"Time will tell Jackie, time will tell." Blitzkrieg says not convinced.

Applejack just nods before bringing the blanket around him and walking away. "Hope you have a good night."

"I doubt it, I haven't slept well since the rockslide." Blitzkrieg says.

Applejack smiles and looks down at him. "Don't go running off again. I don't think little Applebloom will like it."

"Can't promise that with my job and it's not like she is more dangerous than you right?" Blitzkrieg asks jokingly but receives silence.

Applejack then sighs and heads back again, leaving Blitz in the silence. "What happened when I was away?"

Blitzkrieg lays there in silence until he sighs. "My job just got so much harder."

The next morning Applejack came down and finds the ropes untied. "Oh boy."

"You know, Applebloom is surprisingly good with knots." Blitzkrieg says from the kitchen.

Applejack looks to see him getting some pie. "I thought you would leave."

"I thought about leaving then what you said about you being sad kept replaying in my mind and I could…" Blitzkrieg says hitting his head on the table. "I'm getting soft." He adds.

"No, you've just show your valuable to our family charms." Applebloom says smiling in her seat.

Blitz sighs. "Maybe, maybe not."

"Come on problem child, let's get to work." Applejack says smiling while dragging him along.

"Hey Jackie watch it, I just had this thing mended yesterday." Blitz says.

Applejack just laugh.

"So what do you want me to do?" Blitz asks.

Applejack smiles. "How much do you know about bucking?"

"J…J…Jackie, I don't think that is appropriate." Blitz stutters.

Applejack looks back at him. "What are you…?" She then realizes what that meant and began to laugh. "You thought it was that?! I meant bucking trees, kicking it ya fool!"

"Ok, your way of collecting the apples is too misleading." Blitz says a little weirded out.

Applejack tries to keep her laughter under control. "Come on cuz, let's go buck some apples." She said before taking off with him on her back.

Blitz tried to stay on as he was hopping uncontrollably on her back. "Jackie! You're going to throw me off!"

"Come on, this can't be too rough of a ride for ya." Applejack says.

Blitz growls before he feels her stopping and then he was thrown off and hits a tree. "Ow."

Applejack pulls him to his hooves and turns him to the tree. "Now don't run or it's the lasso for you. Now show me what you got!"

Blitz looks to the tree and studies it for a bit before kicking it and several apples hit him on the head.

Applejack stifles a laugh as she watches Blitz hold his head in pain. "Should have told you ta…kekekekeke…do it in the spot where there is no baskets."

Blitz studies the tree a bit more before speaking. "Jackie can you move three steps to the right?"

Applejack looks confused before stepping to the right. "Okay, why?"

"Perfect." Blitz says smirking as he kicks the tree again and this time all the apples over Applejack falls on her.

Blitz goes wide eyed as Applejack turns her hat upside down and catches the apples. "Nice try Blitz, but Big Mac and Applebloom tried that on me one time and this time I'm ready."

"Oh darn." Blitz says kicking an apple towards her as she steps forward and cause her to slip and propel herself into the air and lands in a basket full of apples. Blitz stood there, his smirk now huge.

Applejack tries to get out. "Don't cha dare say anything!"

Blitz says nothing and snickers a bit as he offers a hoof. Applejack sighs and takes his hoof and by which he pulls her out. "So what else is there, boss?"

"Don't call me that cuz." Applejack says.

Blitz tilts his head. "Why not?"

Applejack sighs. "Cause, the last one to call me boss, didn't end so well."

"What happened?" Blitz asks.

Applejack shakes herself. "Doesn't matter, back to bucking."

"Still sounds wrong." Blitz says getting back to work.

Applejack smiles. "That means you never did it."

"My virginity is not the subject." Blitz lets slip much to his humiliation.

Applejack snickers. "So, did you ever want a mare?"

"Never had time, my job keeps me too busy usually." Blitz says trying to change the subject.

Applejack raises an eyebrow. "Really, unless you're…"

"I like mares Jackie, get your mind out of the dang gutter." Blitz scolds.

Applejack smiles. "Geez, it's an honest question, but if your job is getting in the way then it's time for a date night."

"Not so simple." Blitz says.

Applejack sighs. "Well why is that?"

"The job is too demanding and unpredictable at times so hard to keep a lot of appointments." Blitz says.

Applejack huffs. "I'm getting you on a date, whether you like it or not."

"A little forward aren't cha Jackie?" Blitz jokes.

Applejack smiles. "I want my cousin to be happy. And if that means being with a mare, then let it happen."

Blitz waits for several seconds till Applejack's face shows she realizes the implications of the joke. "Shoot."

"So Jackie, how do you always come onto a stallion like that when wanting a date?" Blitz jokes again.

Applejack hits him. "Because, when you're happy, at least the family stays happy."

"Jackie, I have to leave soon. I have to complete a job a little north from here." Blitz says.

"How far?" Applejack asks.

"About twenty miles away." Blitz says.

Applejack smiles. "Blitz, that's Canterlot, the capital of Equestria."

"I know, still my job requires me to go there." Blitz says.

Applejack keeps looking at him. "Well…"

"Excuse me." Blitz said before walking away.

"Hey sis." Big Mac says walking up.

Applejack sighs. "Has the family letters been sent out?"

"Eeyup, but take a look at the paper." Big Mac says giving her the newspaper.

"Three more have been discovered, raising the number of the victims of the unknown serial killer to sixteen. Guards still have no solid leads on the serial killer of Canterlot." Applejack reads.

Big Mac nods. "Did he tell you where his current job is?"

Applejack's eyes widen in horror. "We got to go get him now." She said throwing the paper away and running to where Blitz was, but couldn't find him anywhere. "Where…?"

Blitz sighs as he sat in his ship as it flew stealthy to Canterlot. "Got an exact fix on the target?"

"High value area of the city. Might want to be careful because it's still daylight and too many civilians out and about." Minerva said.

"Scan the entire mountain, any hidden tunnels?" Blitz commands.

A few beeps occurred. "None in the mountain, but under the city and it leads to a crystal cavern."

"Bingo. Based on the info the probes have collected, give me the most likely target." Blitz says before a picture of a bug like alien appeared.

"Alias: Firefly. Species: Insectious Dracapicus. Details: A criminal wanted for mass murder, eating other species, and numerous counts of arson. Genetically modified to be able to create and shoot flames. Bounty 850,000 credits alive, 400,000 dead." Minerva summarized as Blitz read the rest.

Blitz sighs. "Go silent and hover above a flat building roof and drop me off there before flying into the sky to hide until I get him." Blitz says getting up and grabbing some weapons from the arsenal and putting on a fireproof cloak and scarf.

Minerva appears on screen as a mare version of him floating in the air. "Sure you can take him?" She asks crossing her forelegs.

"Not my first time dealing with a carnivore bounty, besides I know where he is." Blitz says putting two blasters in his holsters.

Minerva nods. "Be careful out there. And take the glasses this time."

"I know, I know, it identifies the bounties for me." Blitz says putting on the glasses and slipping in a badge into his pocket.

"Why are you taking that?" Minerva asks.

"Never was officially un-deputized." Blitz says before activating his stealth and jumping out.

Blitz lands on the roof before jumping into a building alley and starts sliding down the sides before landing on the ground. He blinks one eye and turns on the glasses before looking out in the streets and sees some high value ponies milling about. He sighs and fixes his clothes before walking out as his stealth detectives. "Minerva, I spotted three bounties for Equestria. Send out a stealth probe to track as they might as we might as well make some cash on the side." He whispers.

He soon passes a cafe and sees the same pink pony looking happy while sitting next to a dark blue alicorn looking glum. "I told you, I hold the record. Nopony has ever beaten me." He heard her boosting.

As he keeps walking, he eventually comes to an alley collared off with guards standing there. Using his glasses zoom function he spots a dead body looking half eaten.

"We got another one. This make seventeen now." The guard in charge says as they all worked.

"Hmm…the angle of the bite marks and the long lines indicate mandibles were a part of the assailant's mouth." Blitz says studying the body as the guards just noticed him, wondering how the heck he passed them. He then sees one whispering over to another.

"Hey, what are you doing over there?!" The guard in charge yells running up to him.

"Slightly charred near this part. Yeah, this is Firefly's handiwork." Blitz says stopping the guard and getting his full attention.

The guard narrows his eyes. "And have got any connection to this Firefly?"

"Besides hunting him to arrest him?" Blitz says standing up, finished examining the body and put the cloth over it.

The guard looks at him. "So do you who this pony is?"

"Not a clue, my guess, another victim to add to his rap sheet." Blitz says.

"And you would be?" The guard asks.

"Officer Southern Cross." Blitz says showing him his badge.

The guard looks at it in surprise. "What's a marshal doing here?"

"Tracking a terrorist to bring him back to stand trial." Blitz says.

The guard snorts. "Then do you know where he is?"

"Theories, but nothing solid. I would be more concerned with the hostages he has. Firefly likes to capture his victims and keep them awhile before he eats them." Blitz says.

The guard's eyes widen. "Now if you'll excuse me." Blitz said stepping past him eyeing the manhole cover.

Blitz looks at it before pulling it open and peering down. He takes out a stick and breaks it to make it glow before dropping it. "Ah that's how you are getting around." Blitz says jumping in and pulls out a blaster shaped almost like the pistols he'd seen on Omega.

He activates the night vision on his glasses before walking through the muck of the sewers and then turns a corner before his other feels something on the walls. He pulls it away to reveal some sort of slime. "Ew." He said before wiping off a clean side of the wall.

He then continues on before ending up at a wall. "That's impossible." He said before looking around and sees a small hole. He looks in and sees the hole looking like it's dug out. "Oh yeah, I gotcha." He looks through and sees the other side from a fairly short distance away and sees a hoof just lying there on the ground. Blitz sighs and was about to go through before something rushes out and into the water. "Hey!" He yells running after it.

He runs after the disturbance in the water and fires a few shots, but it looks like it dodges everything. He soon was lead back to where he began and sees the ladder that brought him down. "Oh on." He said taking out the bolas. He keeps running as the disturbance in the water kept moving before it reaches the ladder and he throws the bola as a claw grabs the ladder, but it stops and the bola went past the ladder. "Shit!" He could only yell before pulling on the wire returning it and the creature climbs up faster than he could climb.

He growls and hits a few things on his screen and when he reaches the hole he jumps up into the air and actually jumps high enough to jump out into the streets and sees the same creature now running through the streets and past other ponies while spewing fire everywhere. "Oh crap." He curses before sprinting down the street after it using his fireproof cloak to move through the fire without harm or slowing down.

He kept running in almost the same way he came to the manhole cover and sees the same cafe he passed and the dark blue alicorn standing in the street, looking menacingly at the creature coming at her. The creature hissed before throwing itself at her and only hits a magical wall and squeaks while sliding down to the ground, dazed. Blitz rushes up and rolls the creature over and sees its Firefly before he attaches something to its chest and readies the button.

"Wait, I'll pay more!" Firefly pleads as he realizes what he has on him, surprising everypony.

"Firefly you're wanted for the mass murder of five settlements, killing and eating several diplomats, arson of several government owned facilities and most recent charges assistance of bombing a peace summit killing seventeen and severely injuring eighty nine and the abduction, killing, and eating of eighteen ponies of Canterlot. When you get to jail or the executioner's block, tell them Southern Cross sent you." Blitz says before pushing the button and teleporting him away as he screamed.

Once he was gone Blitz sighs and notices many ponies looking at him in shock. "Oh shoot."

Blitz pays them no mind as the guards came running. "Guards, Captain." Blitz greets as he leaves.

The guards were slightly out of breath. "Princess Luna, it seems he found the creature's lair. We're getting the ponies out as we speak." The captain said.

Blitz walks into a store as this was happening and looks through the stock and finds a stuffed dog on a shelf. Taking it he pays the cashier with whatever bits he had and heads back out and bumps into Princess Luna. "Come with me." She only said before heading to the castle.

"Sorry princess, I still have work to do and have deliveries to make." Blitz says disappearing.

Princess Luna sighs and heads back to the castle on her own as the guards try to find any leftover evidence of the creature.

"So boss, what's the cut we getting?" A gang member at a table asks.

The boss looks through the papers nonchalantly. "One fourth."

"How about I cash in your bounties as my cut?" Blitz asks shooting his electric bola before the three could respond.

Blitz watches as they writhe in pain on the ground. "Time for prison." He said before some guards came in and he deactivates the bolas and takes it away while the guards tie up the ponies. A guard walks up and gives him the bits for the bounty and Blitz nods and takes it before disappearing again.

Blitz sighs as he sits down in the cafe now wearing the clothes he wore when he arrived in Ponyville, trying to enjoy something to drink in a while before he sees some ponies running around the area, all of them looking familiar. "Over here." He called.

The mares now noticing him, rushes over. "Confound it cuz, what are you thinking coming here when there's a killer?" Applejack yells at him.

"What killer?" Blitz asks.

Applejack throws a newspaper at him. "This killer." She said pointing a hoof at the high article.

Before Blitz could even reply the radio at the cafe counter, came on with a news report. "Good afternoon Equestria, Vinyl and Octy here, bringing you the latest news. Well folks its official, the serial killer of Canterlot was caught and sent away. Octy, your thoughts?" Vinyl asks.

"The most interesting thing was how he was sent away. Some describes it like a yellow electric bubble as this…thing, dissolved away into nothing before the bubble collapses." Octavia said.

"Sources in the guard believes it was a form of teleportation magic and Octy, what did the pony who caught the thing like insect charge him with?" Vinyl asks.

"Quite a long rap sheet. Let's see." Octavia starts. "Wanted for the mass murder of five settlements, killing and eating several diplomats, arson of several government owned facilities and most recent charges, assistance of bombing a peace summit killing seventeen and severely injuring eighty nine and the abduction, killing, and eating of eighteen ponies of Canterlot. Those are heinous crimes."

"Wow, heavy stuff. Well let's go to Guard Captain in charge of the investigation, Silver Spear, for a second. So Spear, any information on the identity of the mystery pony who caught the thing?" Vinyl asks.

"It was, weird. But I cannot divulge any more information until we complete our investigation." Silver said.

"Not, even his name?" Vinyl whines.

"Sorry." Silver said.

Vinyl was silent for a bit. "How about we cut a deal? You give us everything and I give you a date night with Octavia."

"W…what?!" Spear half yells.

Vinyl laughs. "So what will it be? Date with the greatest cello player or just sit in silence?"

"Well I guess it can't hurt to tell you the name he gave. He was Marshal Southern Cross." Spear says.

Vinyl giggles. "Is he hot?"

"Well I never got a good look at him. He wore a cloak and scarf over the lower half of his face with mirror sunglasses." Spear says.

Vinyl whistles. "He must be hot if he's hiding under all that."

"So you could say it was only because of this marshal that the surviving hostages were freed?" Octavia asks.

Silver sighs. "Yeah, if it wasn't for him, they would be another piece in the obituary."

"On a possibly unrelated piece of news, two infamous gang members and the leader of the Broken Horns were apprehended today as well." Vinyl says.

The mares look back to Blitz as he leans back and looks at the menu. "See, no problems Jackie." He said from behind the menu.

Applejack frowns. "Why were you coming here in the first place?"

"I told you, my job required me to." He says putting down the menu.

"Twilight, what's a marshal?" Spike asks.

Twilight sighs. "A marshal is like a guard, but their extent of power goes all over the country and are usually referred to as bounty hunters since that's most of their arrests."

"Oh, bounty hunter, where?!" Pinkie yells.

The mares sighs. "Pinkie, that guy might be gone already." Rainbow said a little weirded out that she suddenly appeared.

"Oh, but I want to meet him, after all, I was there when he capture the bug." Pinky says.

The mares look to her. "What?"

Pinkie smiles. "Yeah, after beating Princess Luna on how many stallions we can take without giving up, we went to a cafe and when we saw fire coming down the street, Princess Luna got up and placed a magical wall and this bug thing crashes into it and the bounty hunter puts something on its chest and sends it off."

"Then you got a good look at him?" Rarity asks, but her answer was a down look from Pinky.

Pinkie shakes her head. "Just like that guard said, same outfit."

"He must be so brave taking down such a monster." Rarity says fantasizing a bit.

Rainbow smiles. "I bet he's cool enough to take on the Wonderbolts."

"So cuz, your job here is over?" Applejack asks.

"Yeah, I finished it up already." Blitz says.

Applejack sighs in relief. "Well…let's go home."

"Alright, let's go back to your home." Blitz says.

Applejack nods and leads him away as the others follow them. "How's Applebloom?" He asks after a while.

"Worried about you." Applejack says.

Blitz smiles. "Then I'm sure she'll like the present I got her."

"What was that?" Applejack asks.

Blitz only smiles as they get on the train.

After they got back to the farm Applebloom rushes out and latches onto him. "Cuz! You came back."

"Yeah and I got you something from my trip." Blitz says bringing out the stuffed dog.

Applebloom gasps and hugs it. "It looks like Winona."

"I hoped you would like it." Blitz says patting her head.

Applebloom hugs him again. "Thanks for this." She then let's go and goes to Winona. "Hey Winona, look at what I got."

Blitz let a smile slip as he watches this, not noticing Applejack coming up beside him. "I knew you were a softy."

"Jackie when did you?" Blitz asks surprised.

Applejack brings a hoof around him and hugs him. "It's great to have you back."

"Yeah, yeah, just don't spread it around." Blitz says.

Applejack nuzzles him. "What, that my cousin is a big softy and a teddy bear?"

"Invading personal space again Applejack." Blitz says embarrassed and slightly annoyed.

Applejack smiles and let's go before heading to the house. "Come on, soups on."

Blitz shakes his head as he felt his foreleg buzz and ducks behind a tree and brings up his screen and it read payment transferred and watched as Firefly's picture had a red X placed on it and under it read bounty delivered. He sighs and covers his leg again and follows Applejack again.

Twilight, after hearing about what happened in Canterlot, collected all she could on the case. Which to her annoyance wasn't much in the way of stuff directly tied to either of this Firefly or Southern Cross, excluding two pictures. One was of Southern Cross examining the seventeenth confirmed victim and one taken by a civilian of him when Firefly was caught.

Twilight sighs as she places the two down on the table. "What is going on here?"

"Um…Twilight, why are you so curious? You have never taken such an interest in law and crimes before except that one novel." Spike says.

Twilight showed him the picture of Firefly. "Because this one is not listed in any book to tell what he is."

"Maybe undocumented or secluded species?" Spike offers.

"Wait a moment." Twilight says taking out a magnifying glass. "What's that?" Twilight asks looking at the device on Firefly's chest.

Spike tries to peek over the desk. "What's what?"

"Oh nothing, oh look at the time, didn't you promise to help Rarity?" Twilight asks.

Spike looks at the clock and panics. "Oh no. I hope she isn't mad." He yells in panic before rushing out the door.

Twilight lets out a sigh and examines the picture again before locking it in a box. "What the heck is that thing?"

Blitz had remained at the orchard helping his extended family for the following week and in that time the news of the mysterious Southern Cross had spread, even Ponyville's paper had articles on the mysterious marshal.

"Whatcha you reading girls?" Blitz asks the three fillies at the table.

Scootaloo, as he was told, shows him the front page. "This guy. He looks so cool."

Blitz looks and sees a picture of him as he ran through the fire chasing after Firefly last week. "Isn't that a picture of Southern Cross?" Blitz asks.

Scootaloo nods. "Yeah, he's so cool. I wonder what he looks like."

"I wonder where he is now." Sweetie Belle says.

Applebloom sighs. "Well, we'll probably never see him again, unless…" She thinks. "We find another creature!"

"Applebloom, this Firefly killed and ate other ponies, what would that mean?" Blitz asks.

The three fillies look to him. "Applebloom faced a three headed creature in the forest when she wanted to make a delivery." Sweetie Belle said.

"Applebloom don't go looking for danger, ok?" Blitz asks her.

Applebloom brings her head down. "Aw." She whines.

"Who would take care of Winona Jr. if something happens to you?" Blitz asks.

They look confused. "Winona Jr.?" They ask.

Applebloom nervously chuckles. "It's something my cuz here got me while he was in Canterlot." Applebloom explains.

They look to her. "Where is it?" Scootaloo asks.

"In ma room." Applebloom says.

They suddenly drag her away. "Come on, show us." They said.

Blitz watches happily as they drag her away. "Have fun."

Applejack smiles as she steps up to him. "Want to head out and have fun?"

"Define fun." Blitz says wearily.

Applejack smirks. "Cafe?"

"Fair enough, as long as it isn't a blind date." Blitz says.

Applejack nods. "Sure, come on."

After a while Blitz was sitting at the cafe once again, this time with Applejack sitting across from him. "So what are you getting?" She asks.

"Um…maybe the sandwich." Blitz says behind his menu, trying to not embarrass himself.

"I'll have the hayfries." A different voice than Applejack said.

Looking up, he can see the blue mare sitting in Applejack's place. "What…?"

'Applejack.' Blitz thinks angrily.

The blue mare sighs. "I'm Rainbow Dash, just so you know. I'm not happy about this either because Applejack said she was taking me out to eat."

"She got you too, huh?" Blitz asks.

Rainbow nods. "Yeah, so…what do you want to do after this?"

"Well I…uh…" Blitz tries to start but at a loss for words.

Rainbow looks confused. "What?" Blitz mumbles something reminding Rainbow a little of Fluttershy. "Speak up, stallion."

"I'm not good with dating." Blitz says barely loud enough for Rainbow to hear him.

Rainbow sighs. "It's fine. I'm no good with stallions either."

"Could have fooled me." Blitz says unconsciously.

Rainbow snorts. "Yeah." She said trying to look at her menu again.

Blitz joins her as, across the street, Applejack watches from hiding as this unfold. "Um…Applejack, what are you doing?" Rarity ask walking up.

Applejack smiles. "Setting my cousin up on a date."

"Applejack, I am surprised at you. You didn't invite me." Rarity says.

Applejack nods. "Take a seat then. This will be fun to watch."

"So who has made a foal out of themselves first?" Rarity asks taking a seat.

Applejack nods her head to Blitz. "Him first."

"Oh what happened?" Rarity asks.

Applejack smirks. "He bumbled on a few words and then stopped completely."

"Oh my, he's nervous?" Rarity asks.

Applejack giggles. "Yeah, he barely had a mare before. At least he's learning."

"Huh?" Rarity asks.

Applejack points to him. "He never had a mare before, so I'm helping him along. He needs to be at least happy and…he never had true fun anytime I saw him all that time ago."

"Well, you bullied him, right?" Rarity asks.

"Yeah, when I…wait a minute." Applejack says a little mad now.

Rarity looks a bit afraid. "What is it?"

"You don't know what happened back then between me and him." Applejack says sounding very much like when she protects Applebloom.

Rarity backs off a little. "I'm…I'm sorry." She said before walking away, but stops and gets a smile. "Applejack you wouldn't have unresolved feelings about him would you?" Rarity asks.

Applejack looks angrily at her. "Heck no. I don't love him like that."

"I never said anything about love Applejack." Rarity says smirking at the now wide eyed mare.

Applejack huffs. "Just get out of here." She then looks to where Blitz and Rainbow is and sees them gone. "Where they go?!"

"So this team is called the Wonderbolt?" Blitz asks as he walks with Rainbow down the street.

Rainbow nods. "Yeah, the best team for performances and shows and I want to be in that team."

"It's good to have a dream that are hard to reach. Makes succeeding at it feel even better." Blitz says.

Rainbow smiles. "Yeah, so what's your dream?"

"I…don't have one." Blitz says after a long pause.

Rainbow stops. "Well, what did you dream a long time ago?"

"I don't really think I ever had one." Blitz says thinking it over.

Rainbow looks at him. "Hey, how about we head to your home and talk it over. I can make a mean burger."

"Oh, I'm not sad about it. I just never had a life dream. Before I just set goals and work to accomplish them." Blitz says.

Rainbow playfully hits him. "Well then, what say you, me and a plate of burgers at your place to help cheer you up?"

Blitz chuckles. "I don't have a place Rainbow. I'm just staying with my Cuz." Blitz says.

Rainbow sighs. "Oh well. Well how about we head there? I'm sure Applebloom would like a meal."

"Sure, sounds like a bit of fun." Blitz says.

Rainbow smiles. "Great, let's get going." She said already heading to the farm.

"Oh, come to think of it, didn't you challenge me?" Blitz asks.

Rainbow turns to him. "Yeah, I did. You owe me being tough."

"One chance at hoof wrestling. I heard you beat Jackie at it." Blitz says.

Rainbow grins. "Heck yeah I did. So, want to try it?"

"Sure, let's see what you got." Blitz challenges getting to the farm.

Rainbow sits at a tree stump and places her hoof down. "Come on, unless you're chicken?"

Blitz offers his left hoof as it was the one without his communicator. "Ready whenever you are." He challenged.

Rainbow grabs his hoof. "Three, two." She didn't finish and started to push his hoof down.

Blitz immediately started pushing back, making up the disadvantage quickly and got into a deadlock.

Rainbow struggles with his strength as she actually hears something like a creaking noise behind him. "Give up?" She strained. Blitz didn't respond as he had his full concentration on the match and starts to slowly overpower her. Rainbow struggles to gain ground and slowly pushes him back. All the while, he was a little embarrassed as she could tell he was focused only on her and started sweating as his strength steadily increased.

Rainbow looks a little surprised as he started to slowly force her down and then slams her hoof down. "Yes!" The only thing she could hear, was that screeching noise when he was finally winning over her.

"You ok?" Blitz asks.

Rainbow looks at him. "Yeah, I'm fine." She gets up and heads for the home. "Come on."

"You're shocked, aren't ya?" Blitz asks slipping back into his country accent.

Rainbow shakes her head. "Of course not." She said, hiding her pride.

"It's because I was completely focused on that one thing, if I was distracted for a moment, all that strength would have vanished almost altogether." Blitz says.

Rainbow huffs. "If you're going to be like that, maybe I shouldn't cook."

"You could as easily do that as well. All it takes is a little practice. Think of using that with your wings." Blitz says.

Rainbow waves him off. "Yeah, yeah."

"My cuz told me you can do something similar, I think she called it the sonic rainboom." Blitz says catching her attention.

Rainbow turns back to him. "She talked about that?"

"Yeah, when I asked about her friends." Blitz says.

Rainbow shuffles a bit before walking to the house again and reaches the door. "Can you thank Applejack for me?"

"For what?" Blitz asks opening the door for her.

Rainbow smiles at him. "For talking about her friends, nicely."

"Alright and I was serious when I said that." Blitz says.

Rainbow nods. "Thanks." She said heading inside and to the kitchen.

Rainbow and Blitz found the house empty and spent more time talking to each other. It wasn't until a few hours had passed that Applejack walked in. "Where the heck were you two?" She asks almost angry.

"Walking around. Why, were you spying?" Rainbow asks suspiciously.

Applejack huffs. "Nope."

"I see, you're still a horrible liar Jackie." Blitz says.

Rainbow snickers at the nickname. "Jackie?"

"Yes, I have always called her that, mostly to her annoyance when she was a filly." Blitz says.

Applejack growls. "Shut up you varmint."

"See." Blitz says.

Rainbow giggles. "What's wrong, Jackie?"

"Hey, that's my name for her." Blitz fake whines.

Rainbow sticks her tongue out at him. "Too bad."

Blitz chuckles at her and smiles, something that Applejack was happy was becoming more common. "I'm heading to bed, just…don't make a ruckus and a mess on the couch." She said.

"How would I do that?" Blitz asks obvious to her meaning.

Rainbow blues. "AJ! I'm not planning on doing that."

"And that is my revenge there." Applejack says going up as Blitz finally gets it.

"Hey!" Blitz yells after her.

"Well I better get going, see you around Blitzkrieg." Rainbow says leaving.

Blitz smiles as he waves at her. "Bye."

Later that night, Blitz laid on the couch, waiting for sleep to take him when he heard movement from upstairs. Opening his eyes slightly he can see Applejack coming down the steps. Blitz closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep before she noticed.

Applejack sighs as she looks down at him. "Why did you leave?" Blitz continued to pretend as he felt her sit beside him. She then starts to pet his head. "Why did you cause me so much pain?"

Blitz sighs as he open his eyes. "Cause I didn't want to cause you more pain than what you felt for all those years."

Applejack reeled back a bit, seeing him awake. "Um…how long were y'all awake?" Applejack asks.

"The entire time." Blitz says.

Applejack keeps looking at him till she keeps petting his head. "But you caused us too much pain by leaving us."

Blitz looks at her. "And you would have gotten more hurt and it would have been personally my fault."

"Blitz, you're family." Applejack says now hugging his head.

Blitz finally sighs. "You want to know what happened that night after all, don't you?" He asks.

Applejack pulls back and nods. "Please, it would really hurt less if you did tell."

"I won't go into details, but I was abducted that night and taken away." Blitz says.

Applejack looks surprised. "Then how did you get out?"

"Oh, that is a story I may share one day, but not yet." Blitz says.

Applejack sighs. "So what happened after that?"

"Found by somepony who helped and trained me for my job and eventually set out on my own." Blitz says being vague.

Applejack keeps looking at him. "What's your job?"

"That is something I may tell to you one day as well." Blitz says as she had leaned down close to him.

Applejack narrows her eyes before they soften again. "Okay." She said before leaning her head back and sighing. "Good night." She said before leaving.

"I don't tell you so you wouldn't have to worry." Blitz says quietly, not realizing Applejack heard him.

Later that morning, Blitz ended up walking through town again as the talk last night kept replaying again and again. 'I think I am spending too much time with them and not working.' Blitz thinks as he sees Applejack and Rainbow looking at a newspaper.

Walking over he sees the front page, making his eyes widen. "Give me that!" He said before grabbing the paper and looking at the front page about news about an object falling in between Ponyville and Canterlot as well as unverified reports of a flying snake spitting poison and increased theft of items started to arise. 'I think I found my next bounty.' Blitz thinks.

Placing the paper down on the table. "What was that for?" Rainbow asks.

"Jackie, I have to go out of town for a bit. I have another job appointment." Blitz says before leaving.

Applejack looks confused and picks up the paper and reads the front page before getting worried. "Not again." She said before running off after him. Applejack lost sight of him and couldn't find him again though.

"Minerva do we have a bounty on a snake like creature?" Blitz asks.

"Searching now…match found." Minerva says as a picture of a snake with bat like wings appears. "Alias: Quetzalcoatl. Species: A sub-breed of Serpeious Cakardus. Home Planet: Serpentaria 4. Status: Destroyed by supernova. Wanted for theft and burglary of several items jewels and artifacts and a broker for said artifacts on the black market. Note: His ego is great and views himself as the reincarnation of the human mythical god Quetzalcoatl. As such he views any gold or jewels he steals as rightfully his property and offerings for his favor. Bounty: 567,000 credits alive, 200,000 dead." Minerva says.

"Great, a bounty with a major ego, but then again that can work to our favor. Minerva what is happening in the area?" Blitz asks before Minerva brings up several different images of posters for events until a Wonderbolt vs. Shadowbolt show comes up. "Perfect. Minerva, I'm going to need my flight gear for this bounty." Blitz says.

A door is heard being unsealed and opens up to show several armors. Blitz walks in and stops to a dark blue armor. "Been a while since I had to wear this." He said.

Minerva appears near him. "You okay?"

"Yeah, just remembering my mentor and father like figure." Blitz says using his magic to take off his outfit and then started to put on the armor finishing with the helmet.

Minerva smiles. "You be careful out there."

"Aren't I always?" Blitz asks as the ship lifted off and flew to the area.

Minerva laughs. "No, you come back with cuts and bruises."

"Battle scars." Blitz says.

Minerva appears in front of him. "Keep telling yourself that."

"So Minerva, how have the probes been doing gathering information on bounties and your scans of the atmosphere?" Blitz asks walking and taking a seat in the pilot's seat.

Minerva disappears and then appears in his lap. "Found your, two bounties found, ships and they are silent and offline. They can be yours if you go there."

"Want to scavenge and use them to upgrade before selling them off to Omega?" Blitz asks.

Minerva nods. "Heard they got better weapons and armor and tech to use."

"You have been wanting me to upgrade Darkstar One for a while now. You might just get your wish." Blitz says.

Minerva smiles and moves her head close to his. "Thank you. Just don't mess it up like last time."

"Hey, how was I supposed to know that the lost treasure ship was rigged to blow when you turned it back on?" Blitz asks.

Later Blitz was walking around in stealth and was listening on some guards. "Did you hear somepony made a threat to clip the Shadowbolt and Wonderbolt's wings in the show in a few days?" Blitz overheard a guard say.

'Interesting.' Blitz thinks before he goes to the ticket booth and sneaks passed and walks awhile before he finds guard captain Silver Spear talking to a yellow mare with an orange mane and a dark purple mare with a slightly dark blue mane talking to him. He noticed both were wearing the uniforms to on the poster.

He keeps looking around and soon sees the prize in a locked box surrounded by a few guards. "Perfect."

"Look, Spitfire, Shadow Runner, we are taking every precaution we can so nopony is getting in without our notice." Silver says.

Spitfire sighs. "Just make sure, we had enough trouble with the foalnappings."

"What the hasbin means is, don't mess up and get us open to be taken down." Shadow Runner says.

Spitfire hits her. "Shut up or I'll leave you with all the boys in my team."

"Oh, you mean like last time? Is Soarun or whatever his name is, still have that broken leg?" Shadow Runner mocks.

Spitfire glares. "Don't make me leave you there to be raped again."

"You tried and failed last time." Shadow Runner says.

"Ladies, I assure you, we have everything under control." Silver says.

"I don't know about that." Blitz says appearing behind Silver. Silver jumps in slight shock. "What's wrong guard captain, I thought you said you had everything under control and yet I bypassed your security with no problem." Blitz says.

Silver glares slightly at him. "We are still protecting everypony at the same time."

"Yeah, it would be so hard for me to have taken a shot." Blitz says, Silver noticing the same badge on the armor he was shown the day Firefly was caught.

Silver groans. "Just let us work."

"You know this pony?" Shadow Runner asks as she and Spitfire was now on guard.

Silver nods. "Yes, meet the same pony who took down the foalnapper."

"Don't you mean serial killer and that makes you…" Spitfire began.

"Officer Southern Cross." Blitz says.

Shadow Runner looks at him. "How many mares have you had?"

"So I heard somepony made a threat to clip the wings of both teams." Blitz says to Silver ignoring Shadow.

Silver nods. "Yes, we are keeping a lookout on both the locker rooms and the teams themselves."

"You left twenty-three openings for an intruder to get in." Blitz says to him.

Silver huffs. "Still, we got to deal with whatever the head guard tells us what we can have."

"Easy fix, just put a detection spell and set a trap in the vents will eliminate nine of them." Blitz says.

Silver raises an eyebrow. "It's that small?"

"They are a little bigger than necessary." Blitz says.

Silver nods. "Okay, we'll do that."

"Sounds like he has experience." Shadow says a little mith at being ignored.

Spitfire smiles and bumps her shoulder. "And with mares hitting on him."

"Isn't he technically law enforcement?" Shadow asks wiggling her eyebrows, giving Spitfire the same idea. She then turns back to Blitz. "So Cross? See anything you like?" She asks stretching her body to stretch her skin suit around her curves.

Or maybe not. "What she means is, since you have experience, would you be interested in a temporary member of our security for the teams." Spitfire says.

Blitz nods. "Until after the show and I catch this criminal. After that, you're on your own again."

"Sounds good." Shadow says rubbing against him. "Can't wait for you to…protect me."

Blitz steps away, sending Shadow to the ground. "Can't wait." He said.

'She is so annoying when she is in heat.' Spitfire thinks.

Blitz sighs. "Don't you mares have a show to do?"

"Not for a few days." Silver says.

Blitz raises an eyebrow. "And practice?"

"They are just taking a break. It's time you two get back to your teams now and leave the security to us." Silver says.

Spitfire nods and walks away with Shadow licking her lips before leaving with Spitfire.

"They always like that guard captain?" Blitz asks.

Silver nods. "Only tough one to be around is Shadow because she tries to be with every stallion she sees."

"Well we just have to do our job." Blitz says.

"So you are wearing something different." Silver says.

"I dress for the situation." Blitz says simply before disappearing.

Silver just look where he was before sighing. "Why do I feel I'm getting the short end of the stick?"

Three days later, Applejack had dragged her friends out to go looking for Blitz. They had searched all the areas of the sightings of the flying snake, but no luck. Thought Twilight was looking into said snake with some results.

Applejack groans out loud. "Where is he?"

"Applejack please, please, please, please, please can we go to the Wonderbolt, Shadowbolt competition since it is so close?" Rainbow begged.

Applejack glares at her. "Fine, leave me to handle this alone."

"He might be there. He seemed interested when I told him about them." Rainbow says.

Applejack groans. "Fine. Let's go."

"Yes!" Rainbow yells.

Applejack sighed, though a part of her did hope Blitz would be at the show and not out there doing whatever his job was. After following Rainbow they reached the stadium and brought the last few tickets and headed inside. Though the increased guards didn't escape Twilight's notice making her suspicious.

As they made their way to the stands they saw Silver Spear and Blitz in his armor walking side by side, talking. "How's the amount coming in?" Blitz asks.

"We are applying a magic restraining spell to all unicorns and are checking everypony or anything hidden." Spear says.

"We are dealing with the Crippler and here is his motive, he doesn't do anything till the show starts." Blitz says.

"I see you read up on him." Silver says.

"Yeah, I always studying my quarry." Blitz says stopping noticing the janitor closet door was locked.

"What's wrong?" Silver asks.

"This door is locked." Blitz says suspicious.

Silver looks to the door before taking out a ring of keys and opening the door. "There, anything wrong?"

"Blood stains and a uniform is missing. Crippler is already here." Blitz says after checking the closet.

Silver nods. "I'll tell the others to keep an eye out for any janitors."

"Get a list of all the janitors here and find out who has gone missing as well, it might give us a clue." Blitz says.

Silver nods as they reach the locker rooms. "The stadium is filling up quite nicely. Heard some ponies are even coming from Ponyville."

Blitz paid what he said no mind as he focused on the job. "Yeah, but the more that attend, the harder it is for us to identify the Crippler and easier it will be for him to escape." Blitz says.

Silver nods and knocks on the locker rooms. "Few minutes until show time ladies." He calls.

The door suddenly opens and Shadow pushes Blitz to the wall and somewhat straddles him. "I just need three."

Spitfire glares at her. "Save that for the slut version of the suit. I don't want anything else, but sweat on this stuff."

"The crippler is already in the building, keep on your guard." Blitz says moving Shadow off of him.

Spitfire nods. "Just be sure to do your job."

"I always do." Blitz says.

Spitfire shook herself after he had left. "Still can't get over the fact he never has taken that armor off since we met. I like to assign a pony's face with a name not with a helmet that glass reflects my face." She says.

Shadow keeps licking her lips. "Well after the show, if he doesn't take it off, I'll do it personally."

"Good luck, he has easily evaded every one of your attempts so far." Spitfire says grabbing her goggles.

Shadow grins. "Yet."

Blitz walks up to Silver as he finishes talking to a guard. "None of the janitors are missing." Silver says.

"Hmm…then that means Crippler could have lured a pony into the closet while wearing the uniform before killing them and…quickly, amongst the engineers, who was gone from their place the longest?" Blitz asks.

"Um…I think it was the one who runs the cloud machine. Those things usually stay for at least a week." Silver says his eyes widening.

"Quickly!" Blitz says as the two ran off towards the upper levels.

Silver and a few guards run after him and they all find the cloud machine off and normal. "This is what it normally looks like. Nothing seems to be tampered." Silver observed.

"It's warm, it has been used recently and it was only supposed to be used this morning in preparation." Blitz says feeling it.

"Oh Celestia." Silver says in realization.

Blitz examines it closely and finds a small drop of liquid on the floor. "Some unicorn scan this and tell us what it is." Blitz instructs.

Silver looks out the window and sees the Shadowbolts and Wonderbolts taking their positions. "The show is about to start."

Blitz looks out as well and sees some of the Bolts starting to act weird. "Um…why are those mares swaying around like that?"

Silver nods. "Yeah, you don't think he made one especially for mares, do you?"

"Sir, it is a neurotoxin designed to paralyze a victim temporarily after a few moments of some other symptoms. Don't know what they are now." A guard said.

Soarin looks to Fleetfoot and Spitfire as they move around weird. "What's up with them?"

"You four follow me, we have to catch them when they come down." Blitz orders the unicorns arcing out to the hallway towards the field.

Blitz and the others hurry down to the field as the mares start to look around wildly. "Get them out and have the medics check them." He said noticing Spitfire was falling.

Spitfire fell down and was caught by Blitz's hooves as he slid towards the spot. "Hey sexy, wanna ride this thing?" She asks lustfully, looking up at him.

Blitz looks a bit surprised. "Lust, okay that's the first symptom. Let's get them out of here." Blitz says before taking her to the medics who were loading the mares onto stretchers and taking them inside. As they finish pulling them away, Blitz glares and walks off with Silver following. "Time to catch the Crippler, you know where to go." Blitz says and Silver nods.

Silver sighs in relief. "Time to end this scum."

Not ten minutes later an earth pony stallion was walking through a corridor when Blitz steps in front of the door that was his escape route. "Going somewhere Crippler?" Blitz asks.

The pony just looks confused. "I'm sorry, I don't know anypony by that name. Now, if you excuse me, I got an appointment in the university."

"Give it up, we got you dead to right." Silver says blocking the other direction, spear in hoof.

The pony looks behind him and then right in front of him. "Wow, you really got it figured out, don't you?"

"Yes, you see this was a trap, this was the only way in and out we left unguarded waiting for you. As we speak, the mares you poisoned, so they would crash and either cripple or kill themselves from the impact, are having an antidote administered or already have and recovering." Blitz bringing out a blaster.

The Crippler shrugs. "Very good, but on this, I was planning on making the Slutterbolts instead of the Wonderbolts. Now, if you excuse me…" He said before being blasted in his front hind leg joint. "Yeow! That's smart!"

"Oh, it does more than that." Blitz says as the Crippler's leg went completely numb.

Crippler growls at him as he was tied up from behind. "You'll pay for this unicorn."

"No, you are going to jail and the name is Southern Cross." Blitz says as the guards took him out the door where Blitz was barring and the journalists waiting and started snapping pictures of him.

Blitz sighs and heads back to the recovery area and finds most of the medic guards replaced by mare nurses and doctors. "Where's the guards?"

"Had to remove all the stallions as the mares were being affected by the toxin and made them all lusty and the stallions couldn't get any work done. They should be good by now." A doctor says.

Blitz walks over to Spitfire now groaning as she looks up. "What the heck happened?"

"The Crippler used the cloud machine of the stadium to poison you and the others with a neurotoxin that paralysis the victims. He wanted you all to fall to earth and die as some ironic revenge. But he is currently being taken away by the guards and won't be getting off." Blitz says.

Spitfire moves slightly before stopping. "I feel…wet." She pulls her zipper down and looks inside before zipping it back up again. "I need the locker room."

"You all should be able to move soon. After that, you could choose to continue the show or hold off on it till another day." Blitz says walking away.

"Whoo! What a rush! I want to do that again!" Shadow cheers as she was partly out of her suit.

Spitfire glares at her. "Shadow we got hit by a neurotoxin."

Shadow looks confused. "Did we, I thought it was an aphrodite?"

"You're lucky Spitfire." A nurse says walking up.

Spitfire sighs. "How long would we have had if this continued?"

"You would already be dead if that stallion didn't catch you." She says.

Spitfire blushes a little. "Oh, who was he?"

"He just left." The nurse says.

Spitfire blushes a little more. "What about the other team mates?"

"They were all caught by the unicorn's magic as they started to fall." The nurse says.

Spitfire looks around. "Where's Soarin and the rest of the boys?"

"The neurotoxin was keened to mares only." The nurse informs.

Shadow grins. "Guess we would have been the Slutterbolts after that." Spitfire glares at her to which Shadow just shrugs. "Hey, that's what the playstallion version is being called."

"We almost died and you are making jokes?" Spitfire almost yells.

Shadow frowns at her. "Hey, I have to cheer everypony up somehow."

"So want to give it another shot girls or do the show in a few days?" Spitfire asks.

One of the Shadowbolt groans. "I need a bit, something is warm on me."

"I guess we can hold off on it for a few days. Besides, didn't Southern Cross say he would stay on till the show was over?" Fleetfoot asks.

Shadow nodded. "Yes, he did." She said before looking at Spitfire blushing a bit. "Wait, don't tell me you're…"

"Shut up before I break your wings." Spitfire threatens.

Shadow grins. "Oh my Luna, you are, aren't you?"

Spitfire reached for something to throw at Shadow.

Twilight and the girls watched as the famed Crippler was loaded onto a prison carriage before being taken away. "Think he's the one who caused this?" Twilight asks.

"Silver Spear, any comments on what happened in the show?" A journalist asks.

"Yes, a week ago, both the Wonderbolts and Shadowbolts received a death threat for the show. Naturally the guards reacted and with the assistance of an outside contractor aiding the security detail, we captured him and saved the teams from and bad injuries." Silver says.

"And the show?" Another asks.

"That is up to the teams to decide if they continue or postpone it." Silver says.

"This outside contractor, who is it and is he the one that caught Spitfire?" Rainbow asks.

Silver nods. "Yes he is and he's Southern Cross." He said before a feedback from a mic sounded throughout the stadium.

Looking to a stage they can see Soarin up at the mic. "We are very sorry everypony, but due to the mares' condition of both teams, we have to postpone the show. You can still use the tickets you came in on and we hope to have a real date by tomorrow."

"And there is your answer from Soarin himself, now if you excuse me, I have other things to attend to." Silver says leaving.

Rainbow gets a bit jealous. "He gets that close to the Wonderbolts, dang it."

"Well he is a part of the security Dashie." Pinkie says.

Rainbow glares at her. "I meant that pony who caught Spitfire."

"Wait, isn't Southern Cross the one who caught that heinous insect creature, Firefly?" Rarity asks as all the ponies noticed Twilight's shocked face she had since Silver said the name.

Rainbow looks at her. "What's wrong with you?"

"Um…oh…nothing." Twilight says quickly.

The rest looks skeptical, but then Twilight quickly walks up to where the mares were taken and says a few things to the guard and allows her through, but blocks the rest of the mares. "Hey, where's she going?" Rainbow asks.

Twilight walks through the line of beds set up for the mares and come across Spitfire who looks a little shocked. "How did you get in here?" Spitfire asks as Shadow was trying to pulls stuff out of her suit.

"Advantage of being a princess." Twilight says.

Spitfire sighs as she tries to get rid of the sweat in her suit. "What are you here for?"

"What do you know of Southern Cross?" Twilight asks.

Spitfire groans. "Well, I can tell that armor is really tough, but I can't tell much because everything else is a daze. I think my lust phase really clouded my mind."

"Uh huh, what about before, surely you must have talked to him." Twilight says.

"Not really, he seems to vanish when he wants to." Spitfire says.

Twilight sighs. "Great. So you don't know anything else?"

"Sorry, but no. He's a mystery now that I think about it." Spitfire says.

Shadow grins. "I'll tell you what he is, he's hot and possibly good to bang." She said now having her suit completely free of stuff and zipped up halfway.

"Thanks that helps so much." Twilight says sarcastically.

Shadow giggles. "No problem."

It was two days later when the show was started up again. Applejack hadn't found any sign of Blitz anywhere in the area, much to her displeasure. "So nopony has seen him?" She asks as they sat in the same spot as before.

"Maybe this means he went somewhere else." Fluttershy offered as the Wonderbolts and Shadowbolts preform.

Applejack sighs. "I just don't want to disappear again."

Fluttershy pets her, trying the comfort her as the show ends and judges bring out the trophy. Twilight was searching high and low for Southern Cross with binoculars when she spots something on the roof of the stadium's stands across from her. Double checking she sees him moving as if he was looking for something. "What's he doing over there?" She asks herself.

Blitz looks carefully as the scanner runs through every spot in the stadium and, besides a few more bounties he decides to ignore because he can see them with families or too low to bother with, he finally sighs and looks down and hits something. "Bingo." He said as he sees the silhouette of a snake briefly.

He keeps watching until the snake moves into the open as everypony stands up and cheers and pays attention to the award ceremony. He frowns as it starts to slither away to the ceremony and jumps down. Activating his boosters a bit to soften the fall he lands in the walkway of the seats, surprising the ponies there.

The snake looks back at him as it hears the thud as he had grabbed the golden jewel encrusted trophy. "So you finally found me." The snake said surprising those near the trophy case and those on the stage.

"I don't let a perp escape me Quetzalcoatl. Now move away from the mares and trophy." Blitz orders, his blasters trained on him.

Quetzalcoatl laughs. "Sorry, but my ride is calling me." He said before spreading his wings and flying away with the trophy in his tail.

The guards were about to go after him when Blitz activates his jetpack and shoots after him. "Get back here coward!" He yells.

Quetzalcoatl hisses at him. "In your dreams. Mine however…" He said to himself looking at the trophy as Blitz still shot at him.

Blitz growls before huffing. "Oh forget this." He hits a few things on his foreleg screen and something comes out of his shoulder pads.

"Homing rockets enabled." The A.I. said.

Blitz fires one missile and hits Quetzalcoatl in the wing and sends him spiraling. "Dammit!" He then stops as Blitz catches him by the tail and grabs the trophy.

Blitz smiles to himself as he heads back to the stadium. He then maneuvers 'away' from the flagpole and 'accidentally' hits his head on the pole. "Oops, sorry." He hits him again on the stadium itself. "My bad." He then flies down and starts to him along the cage's bars lined against the field. "Sorry. Sorry. I'm bad at flying today." Blitz says mockingly before slamming him into the ground.

Blitz lands and places another transport receiver on his chest before backing off and activating the bubble. "Where's the treasure you stole?"

Quetzalcoatl hisses at him. "Like I would tell you. OW!"

Blitz let's go of the trigger that places a shock on the victim. "Where?!"

"In a cave, on that mountain over there." Quetzalcoatl says.

Blitz nods. "Good. Now let's see what your supposed godhood does to you in prison, you overgrown iguana." He said before pressing the button and sending him off.

Quetzalcoatl hisses in pain. "No! No!" He yells before dissolving away and the bubble collapsing on itself and with that, Blitz disappears, leaving the trophy where it is on the ground.

The audience sat there in stunned silence at what just happened. A guard walks over to the trophy and picks it before looking around for signs of them before heading back to the stage. "Um…let the ceremony continue." He calls out.

A week later, Applejack finally returned to the farm with no Blitz in tow. The commotion from Southern Cross' capture of what he called Quetzalcoatl, sent every news reporter scrambling with all the pictures they had taken and the guards scouring of the mountain and finding of all the stole items for the last few weeks.

Applejack sighs as she went inside her home. "Guys…I'm home. Sorry I couldn't bring Blitz."

"Oh Applejack, you're back. Want to try these hay burgers? Rainbow was right, this recipe is fantastic." Blitz said from the kitchen.

"No thanks." She says walking past him, but then sticks her head back in, realizing who spoke to her.

Blitz shrugs. "Have it your way, more for me and Applebloom." He said eating away at a burger with Applebloom.

"Where the heck did you go!?" Applejack yells.

Blitz looks up midbite. He swallows before speaking. "Baltimare. Told you, my job involves me in these cities."

"Yeah, he even brought me back a few bags from Baltimare's famous candy factory." Applebloom says happily.

Applejack glares at him. "And Baltimare too?"

"It's part of my job." Blitz says smiling.

Applejack marches up to him angrily. "And worrying us to death?"

"I told you I had to go somewhere. By the way, where were you? I've been back a few days." Blitz says.

Applejack hits him upside the head. "I've been looking for you, you dumbass."

"Are you going to come looking for me every time I have to go somewhere for my job?" Blitz asks.

Applejack glares at him. "Not when you don't go away for days at a time without telling us."

"Um…sis, didn't you leave the same day?" Applebloom asks.

Applejack looks to her sister. "Hush now." She then turns back to Blitz. "Don't leave without telling a thing again."

"So what happened to you on your trip?" Blitz asks.

Applejack sighs. "Well, the mares of the Wonderbolts and Shadowbolts show were out for a day and then there was this snake thing taking the trophy before Cross got to him."

"Wait, you were there sis?!" Applebloom yells excited.

Applejack nods. "Yep, all thanks to Rainbow."

"Tell me all about it. Tell me, tell me." Applebloom says jumping up and down.

Applejack shakes her head. "Nope, bedtime little missy."

"But sis…" Applebloom says giving her the pout.

Applejack shakes her head again and point upstairs. "Bed now, it's late and you got chores tomorrow."

"Aw." Applebloom says.

"Don't worry, I'll convince her." Blitz says patting her head.

Applejack sits down as Blitz makes Applebloom go up and waits for him to come back. All the while, munching on the hayburger. "Not bad."

"So what happened?" Blitz asks.

Applejack sighs. "Exactly what I said."

"You feeling ok?" Blitz asks.

Applejack puts her head on the table. "Tired."

"Jackie, you are worrying me." Blitz says petting her mane.

Applejack looks up at him. "You're worrying me."

"Why?" Blitz asks.

Applejack sighs. "Because…you're disappearing for a long time and then reappearing like nothing ever happened. I'm worried about what's happening during that time."

"Jackie, is there something you want to say?" Blitz asks.

Applejack looks at him. "What's your job?"

"I'm not telling you that yet Jackie." Blitz says.

Applejack looks away. "Then how can I trust you?"

"I have no answer for that. That is up to you." Blitz says.

Applejack keeps looking away. "Then it's just like old times of just being away from each other."

"Unless you say what is on your mind, nothing will change." Blitz says petting her again.

Applejack actually started to tear up. "I missed you Blitz. When you went missing, I truly missed you and I couldn't stop looking for you around here. I don't want to lose you again."

"Why did you miss me?" Blitz asks.

Applejack whimpers slightly. "I love you Blitz." Blitz sighs and wraps his hoof around her. Applejack buries her head into his chest. "I don't want to lose you Blitz, never again." She said sobbing into his coat.

'Ok, I have no idea what to do.' Blitz thinks shocked.

Applejack keeps sobbing. "Please…just tell me what you are doing."

"Ok, first, let go and face me." Blitz says giving in to the crying mare.

Applejack looks up at him. "What is it?" Blitz says nothing and fishes out something and places it on the table. Looking at it she sees a badge. "What is this?" She asks taking it.

"My badge, signifying I'm a marshal." Blitz says.

Applejack tries to wipe away the tears. "So…all those creatures…?"

"I don't work alone." Blitz says.

Applejack looks at him again. "What do you mean you don't work alone?"

"I have a partner." Blitz says.

Applejack turns to the badge again. "That Southern Cross guy?"

"I've said too much already Jackie." Blitz says.

Applejack keeps looking at the badge before placing it on the table again and leans her head back on his chest. "Thank you."

"That's why I didn't want you to know. I chase down some of the worst scum there is." Blitz says putting it away.

Applejack nuzzles his chest. "Just be careful. I don't think Applebloom would like you being gone again."

"Hey, I haven't come back hurt yet, have I?" Blitz asks.

Applejack just brings her hoof behind his head and slams him down on the table. "Promise me."

"Ok, ok, I give." Blitz says.

Applejack sighs and brings her hoof away to let him up. "Come on, let's get to bed."

"Gotcha." Blitz says walking to the couch.

Applejack grabs his shirt. "Not there."

"Huh?" Blitz asks.

Applejack smiles softly. "You really think we leave a member of our family sleeping on the couch?"

"Well I have been sleeping there for a while." Blitz says.

Applejack nods. "And that's why I'm placing you in a real bed."

"But I know for a fact there are only four beds in this house." Blitz says.

Applejack blushes slightly. "How about mine?"

"Jack…you know what, if you are fine with it, I will." Blitz says.

Applejack smiles as she leads him upstairs. "Promise you won't sneak out again?"

"I'll tell you before I have to leave again for my job." Blitz promises.

Applejack smiles before slowing down and allowing him to catch up before she kisses him on the cheek. "Thanks cuz."

"Jackie, please just call me Blitz." Blitz says.

Applejack smirks. "Okay…Blitzy." She said snickering.

"I can live with that." Blitz says as they enter her room.

Applejack smirks. "Good, because I'm going to be calling you like that for a long time." She said getting into bed. Blitz says nothing as he joins her. "Night Blitzy." She said after placing her hat on the nightstand.

"Night Jackie." Blitz says closing his eyes.

The next morning Blitz awoke to Applejack brushing her mane and tail, getting ready. "Morning." He greets as he rises out of bed.

"Mornin Blitz." Applejack greets.

Blitz stretches as he gets out of bed. "So, what do we have today?"

"We got chores to do around here." Applejack says.

"Hey Jackie, what I told you must remain between us." Blitz says.

Applejack looks back at him and sighs. "Okay, but others will get suspicious." She said pointing her brush at him.

"Yeah, but I can only do my job so well as long as I'm anonymous amongst them and the risk to you and the rest of the family is lessened." Blitz says.

Applejack nods. "Just…be careful. I don't want to treat your cuts and bruises."

"Don't worry, I'm used to treating those myself." He says leaning against her a bit.

Applejack smiles. "Good, now get going downstairs, soup should be on by now."

As Applejack starts to leave Blitz says something. "The reason I gave you is the same reason Southern Cross never shows his face." Blitz says.

Applejack stops and doesn't move before Blitz moves closer and suddenly Applejack grabs him in a hug. "Don't ever hurt us like that again."

"What and deprive you of this?" Blitz jokes gesturing to his face.

Applejack just slaps him. "Don't, just don't."

"I already said I would, but when I vanish, you will have to cover for me and let me hide something on the farm." Blitz says.

Applejack sighs. "Blitz, I'm terrible at lying."

"Just say I went to a city that I tell you to say so we have our story straight." Blitz says.

Applejack nods. "Okay, just be back quickly."

"Will do as quickly as possible, but the timing may be a little sporadic, I could have no work for a month or have jobs back to back." Blitz says.

Applejack lays her head on his chest. "Just be sure to come back."

"I will, don't worry." He says giving her a quick peck on the cheek.

Applejack smiles and let's go. "Okay, come on." She said before heading out.

Blitz follows her and hears Applebloom below when Applejack becomes visible from the stairs. "Sis, sis, Blitz is gone again." She says.

Applejack smiles and shakes her head. "Nope, right Blitzy?" She called up the stairs.

"Yeah, I'm still here." Blitz says.

Applebloom smiles. "Yes, come on Blitz, we got crusading to do."

"Alright Applebloom, I will help you." Blitz says letting her ride on his back.

Applebloom smiles. "Awesome, this will be so much fun."

After Blitz and Applebloom left, Big Mac came up to Applejack. "So what was our cuz doing in your room?" He asks.

Applejack blushes slightly. "It wasn't right to leave him on the couch, so I offered my bed."

"Is that all?" Big Mac asks.

Applejack hits him. "Big Mac, he's our cousin. I'm not going to do that." Applejack says before storming off.

'Didn't answer my question directly.' Big Mac thinks as he gets to work.

Blitz smiles as Applebloom led him to their clubhouse. "This is it?"

"I can't believe this is still here." Blitz says.

Applebloom looks to him. "What?"

"Yeah, Jackie use to drag me here every time we visited." Blitz says.

Applebloom gets off and quickly heads inside. "Come on."

"Ok cuz." Blitz says following her in. Inside he finds the other two fillies looking at a sheet of paper with a checklist. "So…what's going on here?"

"You were in Canterlot when Southern Cross made his first appearance right Cuz?" Applebloom asks.

Blitz nods. "Yeah, while looking for your present I saw him taking down that insect. Though he disappeared right after."

"Like stories about him at the Wonderbolt vs. Shadowbolt show when he took down a huge snake with wings." Scootaloo says pinning a new news article to a board.

Blitz chuckles. "Yeah, that was fun too."

"So you were there as well?" Sweetie Belle asks hopefully.

"No, I only caught the first attempt at the show and saw him catch and save Spitfire." Blitz says cursing himself internally for letting that slip.

"Aww." Sweetie Belle whines a little.

"But he did witness him in action." Scootaloo says.

"Like your siblings." Blitz reminds.

They look surprised. "They were there?!" They asked.

"Yeah, Applejack told me herself and they said they saw the second attempt and him taking down the snake." Blitz says.

"Wow." They drone out.

"I'm thinking ambush." Blitz says causing all three to start getting mischievous grins.

"We should get this guy and maybe we get cutie marks in whatever he's doing." Scootaloo suggests.

"I meant your siblings." Blitz clarifies.

That broke their spirits. "Aw." They said.

"Hard to ambush a guy who can literally disappear." Blitz says.

They slouch down. "Can you stop?" Sweetie Belle pleaded.

"But hey, you three are doing great as it is. You…fixed this place up right. I would think it would have been in disrepair." Blitz says.

They shrug. "This is nothing and we want our cutie marks." Applebloom whines.

"Well you did a great job, your special talents might be in building." Blitz says thinking out loud.

Scootaloo scoffs. "Yeah and Rainbow's is cloud building."

"Wait, don't you disassembly, maintenance, and reassemble your scooter without much trouble." Sweetie Belle asks.

Scootaloo scoffs. "That's because it's the only thing I know."

"Maybe engineering is your talent Scootaloo." Blitz offers.

Scootaloo huffs. "Or maybe not."

"You ne'er know." Applebloom says thinking out loud.

Scootaloo frowns. "Can we get back to this?" She said tapping to the news articles.

"Ah yes, ambushing your sister to get them to talk." Blitz says.

The three look to each other before they rush off. "I was joking!" He called before following them. "Or was I?" Blitz asks himself after they vanished and headed towards Darkstar One.

He soon reaches the ship and Minerva allows him in. "Nice to see you again sir, how was sleeping with your sister like?"

"A, not my sister. B, didn't sleep with her. And C, Darkstar one is going to be unable to go anywhere for a few days because you are in the middle of upgrading the ship aren't you?" Blitz asks already knowing the answer.

"Yes!" Minerva shouts as she appears in front of him. "Come on, let's go get them."

"You can't leave the ship remember." Blitz reminds.

Minerva whines. "I hate that part."

"We are working on getting you a body, but what you want costs a lot of credits to build." Blitz reminds.

Minerva looks down as bits of data flows from her cheeks. "Well, I've always wondered what it would feel like."

"We could buy you one of the humanoid models, but you want a custom pony design, remind me, how much more we need to make that wish of yours come true." Blitz says causing her to brighten up.

"Exactly 53,000 credits." Minerva says smiling.

"Well maybe after the next bounty you will finally be able to order the body." Blitz says.

Minerva smiles. "Thanks, can I at least try something?"

"Sure, why not." Blitz says.

Minerva smiles as she moves in closer to him before bringing her up to his. Her holographic body brightening every time and bits of data flowing out. She then closes the gap between them and tries to kiss him, but goes right through him. She opens her eyes and pulls back with a sad expression.

"Look forward to that body Minerva and you will get it." Blitz says.

Minerva nods. "So…what do you need?"

"Getting some gear is all." Blitz says going and pulling out a suitcase and opening it before walking into the arsenal and starting picking out a few things.

Minerva watches against the body away as he dresses out of his clothes and started to get into his exoclothes and then the exo itself. Blitz smiles as he sees her watching. "See something you like?"

"You know I do." Minerva says.

Blitz chuckles before grabbing his weapons and starts to head out, before he reaches Minerva and gives her a kiss on her head that went through slightly, but made her happy. "I'll get the upgrades and then the bounty. After that, you may be asleep to do this, but I'll be waiting for you."

"It's mainly the software and then adjusting it into my code." Minerva says. "But thanks."

"Contact me on the communicator if we get a spike on the radar from the drones." Blitz says.

Minerva nods and he heads out. "Be safe."

"Aren't I always?" Blitz calls back before running off with the suitcase.

Later on the farm, Blitz had hidden the suitcase outside the farm where it would be safe and ended up at the barn and was not looking up at Applejack, who was upside down hanging from the barn by a rope tied around her hindlegs. "Should I ask?" He asks.

"Rainbow." She simply said.

"Hey, I'm stuck here as well." Rainbow says hogtied to a water pump.

Applejack just crosses her leftover legs and looks up or rather down at him. "Want to know?"

"Let me guess, CMC?" Blitz finally asks.

Applejack nods. "Yep, tell us or we will hogtie you, didn't think they had it in them."

"They are vicious I will give them that. Hold on, I'll get you two free." Blitz says.

Applejack looks around. "You seen them?"

"Not since this morning." Blitz says starting on the rope holding Rainbow now that Applejack was freed.

Applejack sighs as she tries to handle the blood rushing out from her head. "Any idea?"

"On?" Blitz asks freeing Rainbow.

Applejack shakes her head. "Where they went?"

"Well they got you and Rainbow here, so I would venture to guess…" Blitz was interrupted by a scream.

"Rarity?" The mares ask.

"Rarity." Blitz confirms.

They all starts to run or fly to the Boutique as they find the door open. "Stay here or you might get tied up again." Blitz said heading inside. Once inside, he finds Rarity telling the foals everything as, what looked like Sweetie Belle, was threatening to sew on a green fabric to a dress.

"Alright, nopony moves and nopony gets hurt." Blitz said jokingly as he held Sweetie in his aura and catches Scootaloo with it as well.

"Oh thank you Blitzkrieg that would have looked atrocious on that dress." Rarity says.

Blitz bows. "No problem my lady." He then turns to the foals. "Now then, what to do with you fillies?" The two laugh nervously as a yelp outside told him Applebloom got caught.

Later that night, after he was sure Big Mac, Applebloom, and Granny were asleep, Blitz brought the suitcase into the barn and started digging.

"And just what are yur doing?" He heard Applejack's voice behind him.

"Hiding something." Blitz says not stopping.

Applejack looks over his shoulder. "And what is that?"

"Weapons and equipment for my work." Blitz says.

Applejack places a hoof on his back, making him pause. "Can I at least see it?"

"Best you don't Jackie, it's for emergencies only. I wasn't even supposed to tell you about my job." Blitz says setting the case in the hole and moving some things back over top of the spot.

Applejack moves in his view. "Blitzy, we're family and we don't keep secrets."

"And I told you too much already Jackie. Please trust me." Blitz says placing a hoof on her shoulder.

Applejack looks to the hood before looking back at him. "Alright. Just…don't make things painful to keep this secret."

"I hope I will never have to use the case here." Blitz says as she leads him out of the barn and locks it up.

Applejack looks to him. "Is it that bad?"

"You've seen what some of Southern Cross' weapons do. Those are of the same caliber." Blitz says as they walk into the house.

Applejack sighs. "You got anything else you need to do?"

"Not tonight, I have yet to receive notification on any jobs." Blitz whispers as they made their way up the stairs.

Applejack nods. "Okay, well, I'm tuckered out." She said before entering her room and just lying in the bed. "Night."

Blitz removed her hat and put it on the stand before joining her. "Night Jackie." Blitz says.

Blitz sighs as he stares at his coffee cup. "So, no chores today?"

"No, Big Mac and Applebloom are running our stall in town and Granny is taking a nap. I highly doubt she will wake up anytime today and…" Applejack was interrupted when she heard a faint buzzing. "What's that?" Applejack asks getting the flyswatter.

"Sorry Jackie, I have to check something." Blitz says walking outside. "Talk to me." Blitz whispers into his hidden communicator.

Minerva sighs. "Sorry for interpreting, but we got a reading. Seems one of the ships crashed far west of your location in a valley that looks like a vast jungle."

"Gotcha and she still needs time to finish right?" Blitz asks.

"Correct, what do you want done?" Minerva asks.

"Prep my speeder bike." Blitz says after a pause.

"Got it, see you soon." Minerva says ending the transmission.

Blitz sigh and goes back in. "Jackie, I just got a message. I got to go west." Blitz informs.

Applejack looks back at him before smiling. "Thanks for telling. How long?"

"Hard to say, it sounds like the other half of the country out west." Blitz says.

Applejack nods. "Okay, well…it takes about a few days by train. Don't know your method."

"My method is more covert. So what cities are in the far west?" Blitz asks.

Applejack shrugs. "Vanhoover and Las Pegasus."

"Ok, that's where I'll head after the job. I'll see you soon Jackie." Blitz says.

Applejack nods. "See you Blitzy."

Blitz smiles before walking out the door.

At Darkstar One, Blitz was preparing to arm himself. "Minerva, show me a video feed on the location from the drone." Blitz says.

Minerva smiles and waves her hoof and shows a screen showing what a drone was showing. "Here you go."

"Reading on humidity and concentrations of water?" Blitz asks moving along the armors.

"Humidity, 49%. Water, not by much." Minerva said.

"So the type K6-L7 stealth unit won't work, then you are the best one for the job." Blitz says stopping in front of a green armor before starting to put it on and finishing with the helmet similar to the aerial armor he used hunting Quetzalcoatl. Extending his left forehoof two parallel metal claws come out before retracting. He then goes and grabs a few items from the arsenal before walking out and watches as Minerva drops a red Speeder bike from the cargo bay. "If I'm not back before you finish upgrading come get me." Blitz says.

Minerva nods. "Okay, just…be sure to not hit any trees."

"I have never hit a tree, sent others crashing into them, yes, but never hitting them." Blitz says cloaking himself and the bike before speeding off.

A half a day later, Blitz stopped his bike on the cliff overlooking the valley below where the ship had crashed. "Minerva, can you read me?" He said, speaking into his mic and placing his glasses on.

"Loud and clear." Minerva says.

"Any chance the bounty died in the crash?" Blitz asks.

"Negative, had the probe search thoroughly." Minerva says.

Blitz sighs and sees it hanging a bit off the cliff, but enough for him. "Keep an eye out for any kind of tech I can recover and have your probes on standby to pick it up."

"Already on it, just find the bounty and catch it. I want my new body." Minerva says.

Blitz smiles and walks around the cliff and heads inside the ship, but places a relay at the entrance. "Have you checked completely in the ship?"

"Yes, most of it is fried from the humidity and the rest not worth salvaging." Minerva says.

"You know we can't just leave it here." Blitz says.

"Understood, blow it up." Minerva says.

Blitz nods and shoots several pads from one of his forehooves and walks away before an explosion was heard. 'If that doesn't get somepony's attention, nothing will.' Blitz thinks activating his stealth.

He walks away as the parts of the ship head down the ravine. Before stopping when he heard somepony burst through the foliage. Looking back, he sees a brownish gold pegasus running to the edge. "What the heck happened?!" She yelled.

Blitz stealthily jumped onto a nearby branch and watched to see what she would do. "Great, something blew up the artifact. Now what am I going to bring back to the university. I can just hear the headmistress now. Daring Do, you have been gone for two months…" The pegasus, now known as Daring, kept ranting.

Blitz sighs and drops his invisibility and walks over to her. "Excuse me?"

Daring was so lost in her rant she didn't register him until he tapped her shoulder. "Gahhh!" She yelled turning around and sees the armor. "Well…at least it's not a total lost. Maybe I can take this back."

"I'm a pony, not a thing." Blitz says.

Daring jumps back a little. "What the heck?"

"You going to freak out a bit longer, Ms. Daring?" Blitz asks.

Daring calms down and rubs her head. "Sorry, but my artifact just went down the ravine."

"Don't cha mean blew up and fell?" Blitz asks.

Daring raises an eyebrow. "I meant down the drain too."

"Ok, well I'm off." Blitz says starting to walk down the path down the ravine to the valley.

Daring adjust her hat before running after him. "Hey! You owe me."

"For what I might ask?" Blitz asks as she came up beside him as he walked.

"For kinda killing my easy artifact to grab and give to the university."

"Ok, for starters, A, you don't know what happened to that thing and B, it wasn't old, that thing was newish." Blitz says.

Daring looks down the ravine and sees the pieces of the supposed artifact. "I still need something."

"Can't help you there, I got a job to do." Blitz says.

Daring moves in front of him. "Listen buddy, I need an artifact or my headmistress would chew me out and you owe for destroying my other chance."

"Can't help you, I have to bring somepony in." Blitz says stopping and getting a little annoyed.

Daring pokes his chest. "You owe me."

"I owe you nothing. Now unless you want to be charged with obstruction of justice by the courts, you will back off." Blitz says as Daring finally notices the marshal badge.

Daring sighs. "Are all stallions this way?" She asks herself, heading back up.

"Finally, now I can get back to searching fo…" Blitz was cut off by a roar and Daring screaming. "I can't just leave well enough alone, can I?" Blitz asks himself before running back up to see Daring fighting jungle cats.

Blitz raises an eyebrow. "Don't just stand there, help me!" Daring yells.

Blitz brings up one of his blaster and shoots, the blaster bolt hitting the tiger in the head as it jumped at Daring. It slumped midair and hits the ground and slid off the cliff. The other felines, seeing this, turns to him. "Who else has a death wish?" Blitz asks, aiming the blaster again, a small breeze blowing the small cape on his left fore shoulder.

The rest of the felines then ran out into the jungle out of fear, Blitz shooting a few warning shots into the air to keep them running before turning to Daring hosting the blaster. "You hurt?" Blitz asks.

Daring sighs as she gets up. "I'm fine."

"I'm not going to be able to leave you alone in good conscious." Blitz says turning away.

Daring looks confused. "What does that mean?"

"I'll help you." Blitz finally says.

Daring looks surprised. "Really, you'll help me find an artifact?"

"Yes, but I also have to bring in my quarry as well." Blitz says.

Daring nods. "Okay, but only if you get me something good."

"I make no guarantees about quality." Blitz says starting to walk down the path again.

Daring quickly follow him. "What do you need?"

"Just to bring in the criminal dead or alive, it doesn't really matter." Blitz says.

"So what's your name?" Daring asks.

"Officer Southern Cross." Blitz says.

"Southern Cross huh? Unusual name." Daring says. Blitz says nothing as he keeps walking. Daring tries to keep up. "And you think that bounty is here?"

"Think, no. Know, yes." Blitz says.

Daring raised an eyebrow. "Really? You're that confident?"

"Yes, my source is reliable." Blitz says.

Daring looks ahead of them and sees the bottom of the valley. "And who's that source?"

"Confidential." Blitz says.

Daring scoffs. "Then how could I find out if what you were saying is true?"

"You don't like how I can't verify if you do work for a university." Blitz says.

Daring huffs. "You try to find an artifact every time you leave."

"I don't hunt for the past, I hunt the scum of the present." Blitz says turning back to see Daring writing that down. "Um…what are you doing?" Blitz asks.

"It's a good quote." Daring offers with a smile.

"Uh huh." Blitz says before continuing.

After they reach almost down something moves quickly in the shadows. "What was that?" Daring asks, hearing some rocks move.

"Some wildlife from the looks of it. Looks like they are spooked by what happened to the thing." Blitz says scanning with his helmet.

Daring looks to him. "And anything dangerous by the looks of it?"

"Nothing I see so far." Blitz says as the sun starts to set.

Daring looks up as the light leaves the valley. "Dang it, we need a fire before we freeze down here."

"You want to make camp?" Blitz asks.

"Well yeah. What were you planning?" Daring asks.

"I was going to hunt for my quarry through the night." Blitz says like it was a natural action.

Daring shakes her head. "You really like being nocturnal, don't you?"

"No, I just don't sleep on the job." Blitz says. Daring gives him a look before Blitz starts gathering wood.

Daring keeps watching him. "I thought you were going to continue to hunt?"

"I said I would help you and you want to make camp." Blitz says.

Daring tilts her head as he places the wood in a pile. "You you're going to help me, but you're still going to hunt, even if I'm staying in one spot?"

"No, if we get separated then we may not meet up again so I'm staying with you." Blitz says lightning the fire with a small burst from the flamethrower in his forehoof's armor.

Daring sits down as the fire starts up. "So, if we find a temple?"

"I will follow your lead." Blitz says.

Daring smiles. "Great. Then we set out after some sleep, we're going to need all the energy down here."

"Go ahead." Blitz says.

Daring nods and lays down near the fire and goes to sleep immediately.

Blitz sat there and watched as he activated his stealth field waiting to see if anything was foolish enough to approach the camp for the rest of the night.

Daring yawns as she awakes again and sees Blitz hasn't even moved yet. "You were up all night?"

"Somepony has to keep watch." Blitz says simply.

Daring nods as she gets up. "You find anything down here while I was sleeping?"

"Nothing, but I saw a few animals savaging near the camp." Blitz says.

Daring sighs and puts out the fire with the dirt around it. "Let's go." She said walking deeper into the valley.

Blitz nods and follows in silence all the while scanning for anything until he stops when Daring trips in a small hole. "Stupid hole." She says aggravated.

"Daring." Blitz says.

Daring gets up. "I'm fine." She said brushing her clothes off.

"I was just going to say that's no hole. That's a track from a large creature." Blitz says pointing out it was too perfectly round.

Daring looks to the hole and then around it and sees a set of holes in a certain distance apart from each other heading deeper into the valley.

"Want to take a guess?" Blitz asks.

Daring looks at the hole more closely before looking at the rest and then starts making motions with her hooves as she kept looking. Blitz waited patiently for her as he searched the bounties for a match. "Crab." She suddenly said. "It's a giant crab."

"Close enough." Blitz says getting a match.

Daring looks to him. "And what do you think it is?"

"My quarry." Blitz says as he read. 'Alias: Cancer. Species: Crustbergious Maximus. A thug for hire wanted for destruction and robbery of three mints, fifty eight confirmed acts of homicide, black market selling, and killing of ninety eight officers trying to arrest him. Bounty: 650,000 credits alive, 300,000 dead. Looks like you're going to get that body soon.'

Daring looks into the valley. "So how you take care of this?"

"Like how I took out that tiger." Blitz says.

Daring looks surprised. "You're going to use that thing? Are you sure it will work?"

"I have many ways to take things down. Now I think we have artifacts to find?" Blitz asks surprising Daring as he had no hints of any reservation about fighting the giant crab.

Daring nods. "Well maybe where they're hiding."

"Knowing my luck that is a possibility." Blitz says sighing.

Daring sighs. "Let's go." She said following the tracks.

They spent a few days looking after losing the tracks in a river. "If I had known it would have been like this I would have brought Terran along. He's good at tracking." Blitz says.

Daring looks to him. "Your dog?"

"In a sense." Blitz says.

Daring sighs and keeps looking. "Where do you think they went?"

"Hard to say, it is crab like so it could have been underwater and we passed it." Blitz says.

Daring looks at the river. "So you got anyway to find him?"

"Other than boiling the river, I got no ideas just yet." Blitz jokes.

Daring chuckles. "You planning on making crab soup?"

"Read my mind." Blitz says smiling under his helmet.

Daring smiles. "So, any idea where to go next?"

"I'm sure he would have left the river by now and is somewhere around here. I highly doubt a huge crab walking around out there would go unnoticed, it's like the opposite of the Canterlot serial killer, he's too big to hide and not stealthy enough." Blitz says.

Daring sighs. "Well, let's go." She said wading through the water. Blitz follows her till she stops. "Wait, Canterlot Serial killer?!" Daring yells.

"Yeah, he was a problem a month ago." Blitz says.

Daring still looked slightly shocked. "He didn't hit the university, did he?"

"I don't know about that, but he got eighteen victims before he was caught." Blitz says.

Daring sighs. "I'm going to have to rush back when this is over."

"But, first we have to focus on the here and now." Blitz says as they make it to the other side.

Daring nods. "Yeah, I wonder how far these guys are, for reason…I'm getting bored. I never get bored."

"In my experience it's never a good idea to say such things. It's as bad as how could this get worse…" Blitz says before stopping. "Did I just say what I think I said?" Blitz asks.

Daring nods grimly. "Unfortunately." As a loud stomping sound came from the darker parts of the valley.

"Why. Did. I. Say. That!" Blitz says hitting his helmeted head against a tree after every word.

Daring looks at him in pity before looking at the stomping sound and sees a giant walking crab. "Wow. That's big."

"He is actually smaller than I was lead to believe." Blitz says joining her side as it walked passed and looked like was chipping away at the cliff as if digging. "Is it me or does it look like it's trying to collapse the cliff onto himself?" Blitz asks.

Daring nods. "Yeah, but why would he do it there? If he wanted to collapse this place, he could do it on the other side because of the cracks already there."

"Um…is there anything around here that could be able to pay it. Because the thing is basically a thug for hire and his profile suggests he's not too smart." Blitz says.

Daring looks confused until she sees something come out where the crab came out from and growls slightly. "Ahuizotl."

"Somepony you know?" Blitz asks.

Daring nods. "Unfortunately." She said as they watch Ahuizotl walk up to the crab and watches as it hits the wall until what looks like a building start to come into view from the rocks being chipped away.

"Well…he had a reason for that." Blitz says a little surprised.

They keep watching until the crab gives a final hit and the walkway appears. "Let's go." Ahuizotl said walking in with several felines behind the crab as it seemed to release steam and started to shrink to a more manageable size.

"Shall we crash the party?" Blitz asks.

Daring holds him. "Wait, we need to let them go first because of all the traps."

"Hum…I think Cancer is going in first and for openers we have the classic boulder trap." Blitz says.

Daring nods and starts to move closer. "Come on, they won't check the entrance anymore."

"One moment." Blitz says bringing up a blaster. "It seems we have some undesirable company." Blitz says noticing the looked like native ponies trying to sneak up on them.

Daring holds him back a little. "Show respect. But only fire up when they will attack. They don't know much of the outside world. They don't even know a lightbulb."

"So any chance warrior society then?" Blitz asks lowering his blaster.

Daring nods as they walk up and she bows and they bow back. "Don't look at them in the eyes, that's a challenge."

"Any chance you can speak their language?" Blitz asks.

Daring walks up to them and starts to speak a weird language that not even Blitz's decoder can pick up. After a while, Daring was looking a bit shocked before she walks back to him. "There are actually natives in the temple, but they sealed it up for a reason."

"What about Cancer, they know anything about him?" Blitz asks.

Daring shakes her head no. "No, but they think he's a god, as always."

"Tell them he is a fallen warrior who committed major taboos for wealth and I was chosen to come and punish him and avenge those already sent after him." Blitz says.

Daring turns back to the natives and speaks what he said to them. The natives then grew angry and starts to raise their weapons as if they are going into battle until one turns back to him and speaks something. "He said, we will help if you need it, basically and there was something about protecting me extra special. Didn't say why." Daring said.

"Tell them I would welcome the help and would appreciate it they dealt with the natives in the temple if possible, but I must face Cancer alone as a member of my clan for the sake of restoring honor." Blitz says.

Daring turns back to the natives and speaks what he said and they nod before they walk in with Daring and Blitz following. "They would disable the traps that didn't activate and let you face him."

"Tell them they honor me and my clan for helping." Blitz says.

Daring relays that to them and they speak a few words. "They say you're welcome, in a sense."

"Then our course is set Daring." Blitz says sheathing the blaster.

Daring nods as they enter the temple. "Yeah, let's get this done." She said as some stones shifted. "Apparently this where the traps deactivate. Now we just need to follow and oh shit!" Daring yells as she was pulled into a corridor that quickly closed. "Why does this always…?!" Her yell was cut off as the door close against the ground putting them in pure darkness.

"This is why I don't usually go to old temples." Blitz says turning on a light on his helmet.

The natives suddenly moves to the door and messes around the walls of it before turning back to him and saying something to him.

"Translation please." Blitz requests looking at where Daring was.

The natives look a little confused before pointing to the door and tapping it with his spear.

"Ah…you want me to open it." Blitz says walking to the heavy stone door and started pushing it open as he hears the natives chatter behind him. After he pushes it open one of the natives places a stone dais in front of the doors and locks it in place as the rest rush inside. Blitz follows behind them and finds them stopping at a room with four columns in a square shape and they are looking at the area in the middle.

Blitz pushes his way through the crowd of natives that were of a different color and designs of war paints and finds Daring on a table with her clothes ripped apart showing front half and out cold, but also has some kind of white stuff on her. "That better not be what I think it is." He said going to her. "Wakey, wakey, Daring Do!" He said before slapping her.

Daring jolts awake and find Blitz looking at her. "About time. Why do I feel sore all over?" She ask groaning. Blitz points to her and she looks down and sees her clothes ripped apart and something on her. Daring grew curious and touches the white stuff with her hoof and pulls back to see it act like slime. "They didn't."

"Are these the same natives because they seem like a different tribe with their war paint and how they are pointing their weapons at me?" Blitz says.

Daring pushes herself up and sees the other tribes pony and sees the original yelling at them. "For your crimes against the gods and our clan, you will remain banished to this temple and for killing and taking our mares and daughters for your own. But now you will die by our hoof. We got a couple of rapists." Daring translated.

"Daring, tell them what I do next is by the laws of my clan and you are under my protection. After you say that, don't open your eyes no matter what till I say so." Blitz says leaving no room for argument.

Daring nods and speaks to them all as the original natives back off to the end of the room and after she finishes, she closes her eyes. "Go ahead."

Blitz nods before walking up to the group who was here and stares at them for a moment before bringing up his hoof and two claw like blades shoot out and before any of them could react, he buried them into the eyes of the stallion with a sickening sound that was a mix of cracking bone and slashing flesh.

Daring kept her eyes closed as she hears more of the same crunching noise and slicing sounds with yelling and what sounded like fighting. After a while, they stop and somepony taps her shoulder and she opens her eyes to find Blitz in front of her. "You're alright, right?"

Daring nods and steps off the table, but then buckles under the pain and lays down. "Ow. Apparently they did a lot when I was out. Ow."

"Don't worry about it, I'm right here." Blitz says petting her mane trying keep her attention away from the brutalization and borderline mutilated corpses behind them.

Daring smiles. "Thanks for coming Cross." She said as the original natives come up to them and holds out something.

Blitz smiles. "Anything for a friend." He said before looking to the native. "What is that?"

Daring looks to the native before speaking to him and they talk for a bit. "It's just a cloth and also a dress their mares and daughters wear."

Blitz bows to the native as a sign of respect before he helps Daring clean herself up and puts the dress on herself. "You'll be okay, right?"

Daring takes a step before taking another and when she reaches her hind leg does she collapsed. "Nope, my flank really hurts." Blitz nods and picks her up on his back to carry her. "Thanks Cross. Most stallions aren't you."

Blitz chuckles. "True, most stallions aren't me. Now then, shall we?"

Daring nods and speaks to the natives who nod and led them out. Blitz walks down a corridor that the natives would not enter. "Let me guess, from here on we are on our own?" Blitz asks.

Daring nods. "Yeah, the crab you're looking for went down one way while Ahuizotl went down another and they consider this a sacred place. They won't go unless the god allows them."

"So from what we told them, they would assume their god would approve and be with us?" Blitz asks.

Daring nods. "Yep, you're the god and I'm the connection between mortal and spirit."

"Oh boy." Blitz says.

Daring giggles a bit. "Hey, be happy they are on our side."

"You unlucky in that department most of the time?" Blitz asks.

Daring blushes. "Yeah."

"Seems your luck is changing then." Blitz says.

Daring smiles. "That's because I got my good luck charm here."

"Your hat is good luck?" Blitz asks.

Daring giggles. "No, you. I need a stallion sometimes because the ancient natives respect stallions more than mares. I'll be lucky if I can find a native tribe with a female god."

Blitz was about to reply when the temple shook a bit. "I bet Cancer is behind this." Blitz says.

Daring sighs. "You go get him, I got to deal with Ahuizotl. I can go with some of the natives and you can go with some as well."

"Tell me, does Ahuizotl have any bounties on his head?" Blitz asks.

Daring shrugs. "Don't know. But if he's gone, there goes my villain."

"And the one who has been trying to kill you." Blitz says.

Daring blushes. "I doubt he has that much of a bounty anyway. Besides, without him on a temple one time, kinda ruined everything. No thrill or anything."

"Maybe I can offer you something more interesting." Blitz says considering the fact she kept up with him decently most of the time.

Daring looks to him. "What is it?"

"Forget about it. Take all of the tribesmen, I'll come after I finish with Cancer." Blitz says letting her down.

Daring keeps looking at him until she sighs. "Okay, but you'll be okay, right?"

"I'll treat you to a crab dinner in Los Pegasus after this is over." Blitz offers.

Daring chuckles. "Alright, but I still need help." She turns to the native and speaks a few things and some of the natives smiles and lay down for her next to her, which she takes one and gets onto their back. "Be careful." She said to Blitz.

Blitz nods and walks down the corridor where the rumbling is coming from as Daring and natives went the other way. Blitz keep walking until he ends up in a large room with seats for an audience on the second floor and cages on the walls on the first floor. 'Arena, great.' He thinks as he sees something on the other side of the room. "Oy!" Blitz says before starting to talk louder. "Alias: Cancer. Species: Crustbergious Maximus. A thug for hire wanted for destruction and robbery of three mints, fifty eight confirmed acts of homicide, black market selling, and killing of ninety eight officers trying to apprehend him. Bounty: 650,000 credits alive, 300,000 dead and I have come to collect." Blitz says getting the crab's attention and he notices his helmet picking up targets on the audience area.

The crab turns to him and chitters a bit. "So you found me after all this time. Even here, me harassed by bounty hunter. Boys, waste…" Cancer says.

He didn't finish as Blitz quickly takes out a blaster and shots every single one before they even had time to draw their weapons. "Nah ha, you got to fight me on your…oh darn it, one of them had a bounty on his head. I guess I will have to settle for the dead bounty." Blitz says sounding only slightly inconvenienced.

Cancer growls before turning around and body slamming through the wall and outside into, what looks like, the valley.

"Always got to have runners." Blitz says turning on the music player.

Blitz nods his head to the beat before running after him and jumps over the large rock that suddenly got in front of him and keeps running after him after he got onto a higher rock ledge. He soon catches up with him and sees him hitting the wall now and again to gather some rock and throws it at him which he dodges by using the walls as a jump platform. Blitz sees they were heading into a maze like ruins. "Minerva, I assume your probes can see me." Blitz says, jumping over another thrown rock.

"Playing that Cash music I see. Yes, I can see you." Minerva said.

"Give me a 3D map of the maze ahead and track Cancer and me when we enter it as well as any other goodies." Blitz says.

Minerva can be heard smirking. "Got it, tracking you now. You're approximately fifteen seconds away and there's another baddie on the ledge ahead of you, a bounty that one too."

"Gotcha, I don't have enough of the transporter pads with me so I will carbon freeze them and you have the probes pick it up and later pick them up with Darkstar One and then teleport them." Blitz says jumping up on a few broken pillars and used them as steps before jumping over the bounty who looked shocked before spraying him with something from his gauntlet and he froze as he was instantly covered in carbon and looking like an ugly statue. "Remind me to find a way to make them look less ugly for their mug photos." He said to Minerva as an afterthought as he grabbed something sparkling for later.

"Not possible." Minerva jokes back to him. Blitz chuckles before jumping off a pillar and finds Cancer moving through the maze of pillars as Blitz starts to jump on top of them. "That's not how you do a maze." Minerva reminds.

"If you play fair, but…" Blitz leaves off jumping in front of Cancer before spraying his flamethrower at him causing him to scream and scramble to run the other way. "I don't play fair." Blitz finishes continuing the chase.

Blitz follows him as he backtracks through the maze and into the valley once more as Minerva chuckles. "Like you made me take off the camera in the shower room. You know I want to see."

"Get a good look then." Blitz says activating stealth and reappears in front of Cancer and gives him another helping of flamethrower.

Cancer roars and swipes at him wildly, trying to fight through the fire.

"What's wrong Cancer, don't like the fire?" Blitz mocks, staying out of reach as he sprays.

Cancer then hits the walls and starts to make all the rocks start to fall. Blitz stops spraying and jumps back as the rocks fall between them and then Cancer burst through the pile and grabs some rocks before throwing them at Blitz and runs past him.

Blitz wouldn't have that and fires a grappling hook from his right foreleg's armor tying the right half of Cancer's legs together causing him to skid and slam into a wall. Blitz lets the grapple disengage and reels it back in before taking out both his blaster pistols and setting them to stun from fire at Cancer over and over again.

Cancer growls and charges at him as Blitz jumps out of the way as Cancer hits the wall and stuns himself as the constant blaster bolts took its toll. "Pathetic insect!" Cancer yells turning around.

"Says the sore loser." Blitz says as he was already on him and slams a device on him and activates it, trapping Cancer in a yellow energy bubble before sending him away as the song ends. "You get all that Minerva?" Blitz asks.

The Darkstar flies over head. "Got the little guy, your speeder bike, and the bounty from this. Want me to pick you up or want to go back for your friend?" Minerva asks.

"I made a promise, go ahead and deliver the small fry and pick up your custom body and pick up Terran from Omega." Blitz says.

Minerva giggles. "Already picking out the options." She says as the Darkstar One entered stealth mode and flew away.

Blitz smiles as he walks back to the temple and finds a battle going on. He was reaching for his blaster, but was stopped by a hoof. He looks over and sees Daring smiling at him. "Don't, they are just practicing. Since this place no longer holds the criminals they are planning to open it again."

"Dealt with your foe then?" Blitz asks holstering them.

Daring nods and points to Ahuizotl tied up. "He'll be out, but it will be good to have competition. He is already upset he lost one of his cats." Daring says.

"Hey." Ahuizotl spoke up. "Sorry for what happened to you. Never expected rapists to be here."

Blitz stares at him for a bit as he searches the database of equestrian bounties the probes had gathered. "Huh…you do have a bounty on your head, but I won't be collecting it because Daring doesn't want me to." Blitz says.

Daring smiles as she walk over to Ahuizotl and pets his back, making him purr. "That and the mare always win."

"And I already cashed in on your latest lackey and two of his boys." Blitz says.

Ahuizotl growls before huffing. "What do I care, I don't need to pay them a share so that's less trouble for me."

"Oh Daring, while chasing him down in a maze not too far from here, I picked up something by reflexes." Blitz says withdrawing it to see a statue of a hawk and an eagle made out of pure crystal.

Daring takes the statue of the two birds. "The flying crystals. You traversed the maze of madness and death and found them."

"It's valuable?" Blitz asks.

Daring nods. "You have no idea how valuable. You just saved my flank, twice now. I owe you big time."

Blitz just shrugs. "Well I'm heading to Los Pegasus to see the place seeing as I have never been there. Want to come along?" Blitz asks.

Daring nods. "Sure." She turns to Ahuizotl. "Want to come?"

"Um…kinda stuck here for a while, beside this is my home." He says.

Daring rolls her eyes. "Okay, have fun with the natives." Daring says and with that she and Blitz head off to Los Pegasus.

A month later Daring enter the Headmistress' office at the Canterlot University. "Hey, I'm back." Daring says.

The Headmistress turns to her. "Daring, do you know how long you have been gone!?" The Headmistress yells.

"Three months and two days." Daring says.

The Headmistress glares at her. "That's right and you've have been out doing what? Finding artifacts that don't exist?"

"How does the flying crystals sound?" Daring asks gently putting it on her desk.

The Headmistress' eyes widen. "Wha…how?"

"They aren't so mythical and I had a little help. I also got my next book wrote. Tell me, what do you think of the cover art?" Daring asks showing her a picture of herself and Blitz in his green jungle armor, evading traps with the faces of Cancer and Ahuizotl foreboding in the background.

The Headmistress takes the cover art. She then looks to Daring with a big smile. "Daring, you got another renew! By the way, how did you hear of the famous mysterious marshal, Southern Cross?"

Daring looks confused. "What?"

The Headmistress shows her the cover art. "This pony with you is the famous marshal, Southern Cross who caught the Canterlot serial killer, saved the Wonderbolts and Shadowbolts, helped catch the Crippler, and brought down a huge flying snake trying to steal the golden jewel encrusted trophy being presented to the Wonderbolts in the same show."

Daring looks surprised. "I met him barely a month ago?"

"Daring you might want to go research the library about him real quick." The Headmistress says.

Daring nods and quickly rushes off.

Not ten minutes later, the entire University heard, "WHAT!"

It was about a week later when Rainbow bursts through Twilight's door, her labored breath said she flew hard the whole way there. "Twi. You. Have. Got. To. See. This." She says in between breaths as Blitz who had stopped to rest from the journey back to Ponyville, looked up from his book on unicorn magic, not far away as Twilight trots over.

Twilight looks to a book Rainbow got and sees the cover art. "What the heck?! How did he get on there?!"

"What is it?" Blitz asks from the table.

Rainbow shows him the book. "Southern Cross on here."

"So Southern Cross is quite popular. Why is it a surprise he starts appearing in literature?" Blitz asks.

Rainbow opens the book to a particular page. "Cause Daring Do talks about how Southern Cross saved her from being raped by natives and finding a weird creature they take down."

'Ah, I see you edited it a bit Daring.' Blitz thinks. "Still not seeing why it's a big deal, I mean it is fantasy." Blitz says.

Rainbow places the book on the table. "The fact that Southern Cross is in here. Daring only writes about adventures she's been on."

"Daring, I thought A.K. Yearling wrote the books?" Blitz asks confused.

Twilight leans in. "They are both the same pony. We kinda met her."

"Ah, would explains why Rainbow and the rest of you appear in the book. I thought it was just for the use of star power." Blitz says.

Rainbow looks proud. "Yeah, I'm awesome."

"By the way Twilight, I still don't understand this teleportation spell." Blitz says pointing to a part in the book. 'I can tune and repair hyperspace drive, but this is hard for me?' Blitz thinks.

Twilight looks at it. "Basic. Mostly for non-living objects, then you can work on living things and then yourself." She places a pencil on the table. "Here. Just follow and I'll see what I can do."

"Ok." Blitz says watching her intensely, Twilight feels like it is like a hawk or some great predator sizing her up.

Twilight sighs and starts to charge her horn before placing it a foot away as she releases her magic. "Just find the shape of the object and mass, a range as it is forgiving and then imagine the place you want it to go."

"Ok." Blitz says concentrating hard and a small vase of flowers started shaking before fading in and out of existence.

Twilight watches as it then disappears. "Where did you send it?"

Blitz thinks hard on where he imagined it would go. 'Oh boy.'

Minerva smiles as she places the settings on the body before a vase of flowers popped into existence in front of her. "Weird, but thanks Blitz."

"Um…no clue, I really didn't focus on a location." Blitz says.

Twilight sighs. "This is a warning. If you don't have a location, one of two things will happen. Either you will teleport into a random location a hundred yards away from your current location or your atoms will be scattered all over."

"Or one of the flowers will appear in your mane." Blitz says noticing the flower and thinking the look over.

Twilight reaches up and feels the flower in her mane. "Or if there's pieces of it like the flowers then the parts of it like this." She said taking the flower out of her mane. "Then it will…" Twilight stops seeing the thoughtful look. "What are you thinking?" Twilight asks.

"I think the flower looks good in your mane." Blitz says.

Twilight stops and starts to blush. She quickly throws the flower away. "Anyway, parts of the object will be scattered all over instead of just the atoms." She said blushing.

"Tell the truth, was that on purpose?" Rainbow asks.

"N…n…no, it was an accident." Blitz says embarrassed and blushing.

Twilight breathes as she tries to calm down. "Well, can you do it again and this time on the pencil?"

"Y…y…yes, good idea." Blitz agreed quickly and trying to concentrate on the pencil surrounding it in a yellow aura and this time it appears on the bookshelf not far away.

Twilight smiles as she looks back at him. "Keep working on bigger and bigger objects until I'm sure you're ready."

"Yeah, maybe he'll put an entire bouquet in your mane next time." Rainbow teases.

Twilight just teleports a bubble of water over her and drops it. "How's that for boutique?"

Rainbow shakes herself dry and smirks gesturing to Blitz who had a full face blush now. Twilight scoffs. "Stallions."

"Then what's that?" Rainbow asks holding up a mirror showing Twilight her own blush.

Twilight sends the mirror away. "Nothing."

Rainbow stills smirks and goes to Blitz before lifting him up by the forelegs and shows himself straining against his clothes. "How about this?" She asks as Blitz tries to cover himself.

"Rainbow!" Blitz says embarrassed using his magic to move her away a bit.

Twilight heavily blushes. "Rainbow, that's molesting. I can actually have you arrested."

Rainbow shrugs. "Just showing proof."

"I'm tempted to risk the teleportation spell on myself to escape." Blitz says.

Twilight shakes her head. "Don't, just don't."

"Said tempted, not going to do it." Blitz says.

Twilight smiles before Rainbow comes between them and smirks. "What's this?" She asks knowingly.

"Rainbow!" They yell in unison.

Rainbow laughs as she flies out of there so fast after grabbing her book. Twilight sighs as she looks to Blitz. "Sorry about that, she's usually like that."

"Doesn't help I'm no good at such things." Blitz says.

Twilight smiles. "You're talking to me."

"I meant talking about feel…forget it." Blitz says bummed.

Twilight looks carefully to him. "Want to talk about it?"

"If you want to try." Blitz says.

Twilight sighs as she sits down across from him. "So you said you had a problem with, what?"

"Talking about my feeling with mares. It's something I have struggled with all my life. Usually it isn't a problem with other species, like Griffons." Blitz struggles to say.

Twilight smiles. "Well, how do you feel about Applejack?"

Blitz slams his head against the table and groans.

Twilight looks curiously. "What?"

"You had to ask about the most complicated relationship. I don't even know about it myself." Twilight barely understood him through the table.

Twilight sighs. "Well…how about Rainbow?" Twilight asks as he raises his head.

"She is well…" Blitz stops trying to find the words.

Twilight smiles. "Yeah, I kinda expected that."

"See what I mean?" Blitz asks.

Twilight blushes. "What about me?"

Blitz opens his mouth to speak, but nothing comes and slams his head back down. Twilight sighs. "Blitz, you will never figure out your feelings for any of us if you don't talk."

"The main problem is I prefer not to speak as much, it affects me in this and nothing comes. I prefer actions to speak. The last few months I have probably spoken more than the last few years." Blitz says raising his head.

Twilight blushes a little more. "Well, you could try to speak to me like that."

"That's just it, I can say what is wrong, but when I start talking about feelings with a mare, my mind goes blank. My second adoptive father taught me many things, but not this." Blitz says getting Twilight's attention as Blitz was usually secretive of himself.

Twilight smiles. "You're doing it."

"Oh, have I said how I think you're…" Blitz seems to try to continue, but it was as if somepony hit his mute button.

Twilight keeps smiling as she moves over to him and sits by him. "Don't worry about hurting my feelings. I won't be mad." Blitz feeling her wing around him now was blushing like crazy. "Now try it." Twilight says.

"I…I…I…th…thin…think…y….you…a…a….are…c…c…c…c…cu…c…cut…" Blitz stutters uncontrollably.

"You almost got it." Twilight says.

"…Cute." Blitz finally managed.

Twilight smiles and kisses his cheek. "You did it."

Blitz's head hits the table again. Twilight looks at him and lifts his head and notices he's unconscious and looking overheated. She smiles and places him down on the table again. "Great job and I guess I underestimated how hard that was for you."

"Hey Twilight, look what I just got from my comic subscription." Spike says running in holding a new issue of Power Ponies with Southern Cross on the cover.

Twilight blanches at that. "Unbelievable."

"I know, Power Ponies team up with Silver Cross at last was released. The very least they could do was release a few comics of him staring in it alone before this." Spike says.

Twilight looks a bit interested. "Really?"

"Yeah, I mean its simple storytelling." Spike says winking for a second.

Twilight rolls her eyes as there was nothing there. "Then write a letter to them. Tell them about your idea."

"Hang on. What's that on Southern Cross's shoulder pad?" Spike asks looking at what looks like an insignia.

"Hold a second." Twilight says leaving before bringing back a picture of Southern Cross taken at the Wonderbolt vs. Shadowbolt show and uses the magnifying glass to catch the shoulder pad to see the same insignia. "How did I miss that?" Twilight asks, thinking she found a new lead as she hadn't gotten far with her investigation after Southern Cross disappeared from the stadium.

Spike looks at it too. "Oh yeah, that's all over him. I just passed it off as just signature image."

"Maybe or it represents something." Twilight says.

Spike shrugs. "Well I know most symbols and I haven't seen this. Maybe it's just something somepony came up with. Wait, there is another one." Spike points out.

Twilight looks at where Spike is pointing at. "Yeah, I see it."

"Looks like a reed." Spike says.

Twilight nods. "Yeah, I'll look at it later, but for now, don't you have a comic to read?"

"Oh yeah." Spike says.

"Let's hope this one doesn't end up like the last one." Twilight says.

Spike frowns. "Hey, I got this one from a real comic book store, not an enchanted store."

"Just be careful." Twilight says as Spike finally notice Blitz.

Spike points to him. "What's he doing here?"

"Oh nothing." Twilight says blushing.

Spike raises an eyebrow. "Really?"

"Y…yes, he came over to study some new magic." Twilight says.

Spike still has an eyebrow raised. "Okay, but don't do anything funny." He said walking away.

"I swear he learnt that way of raising his eyebrow from Applejack." Twilight says turning her attention back to Blitz.

Blitz groans and brings his head up again. "What happened?"

"Hey, feeling better?" Twilight asks wrapping her wing around him again.

Blitz nods. "Yeah, I'm…" He stops as he looks to her wing before looking at what it was connected to.

"We made some good progress today with your transportation spell and being able to talk about your feelings with mares." Twilight says.

Blitz blushes a bit. "That's…good."

"And thanks for the compliment." Twilight says laying her head on his shoulder.

Blitz tries to smiles. "You're…welcome your highness." Blitz says trying to compose himself, but failing.

Twilight giggles. "See, you're learning and don't call me highness again. I'm just a princess and I don't like that at the end of my name or the beginning of it." Twilight whispers into his ear.

"Y…y…ok Twi…Twilight." Blitz says.

Twilight smiles. "Good, keep practicing."

"O…ok, but…could you move…a…b…bit?" Blitz asks, his blush growing.

Twilight looks to her wing before folding it on herself and moving away a little. "Sorry."

"I…it…w…wasn't…com…com…completely…un…unpleasant." Blitz stutters.

Twilight moves a bit closer and places her wing around him, but stays away a little. "How's that?" Blitz went completely quiet and Twilight could have sworn his coat was changing to purple like hers. Twilight sighs and was about to let go, but Blitz hooks her hoof with his. Twilight looks at their hooves before looking back at him, still looking forward. She smiles and leans against him as she noticed he was doing better without saying a word.

Twilight sighs as she starts to move a bit closer. "Blitz?"

Blitz nods, still blushing badly.

Twilight smiles. "I think…I think I may actually like you." Twilight could have sworn she saw a cloud of smoke erupted from his head before he collapsed on the table…again. Twilight sighs and leans back up. "Oh Blitz."

"Hey Twi, do we have any…?" Spike stops seeing Twilight with her wing around Blitz. "Never mind, I found it." He said picking up a random item, paper, and heads back up.

Now it was Twilight's turn to blush uncontrollably. "Oh boy."

The next afternoon Blitz was ducking his head into a bucket of ice water. "You sure that this will help?" Twilight asks. Blitz gives her a gesture meaning yes.

Twilight looks at the bucket before taking a deep breath and dunks her head in it.

The feeling was at first exhilarating and a rush and soon turns into a freezing feeling that was traveling down her entire body. She pulled her head up just as Blitz did and took deep breathes. "Best way to cool down quickly, even if it gives you brain freeze half the time." Blitz says.

Twilight breathes carefully as she gets in control again. "Hey…sorry for last night."

"What are you sorry for?" Blitz asks.

Twilight blushes slightly. "That talk we had together." She said before dunking her head again to get rid of the heat.

"It needed to be done eventually." Blitz says.

Twilight brings her head back again. "Yeah, I guess so. You feel better after that, right?"

"Yeah, still incredibly difficult for me, but I am closer to getting over it." Blitz says shaking his head as Twilight took a good look at him. Blitz notices the stare and looks at her. "What?"

Twilight shakes her head and looks away. "Nothing." Blitz just shrugs as he dunks his head once more. 'I never noticed his eyes were a golden yellow.' Twilight thinks.

Blitz gasps as he brings his head out again. "Man that feels good."

"You best get back. The Apples must be worried by now." Twilight says.

Blitz's eye widen before he gathers most of his stuff. "Shoot, see ya Twi." He said rushing out and closing the door behind him.

Twilight exhaled happily. "So, new stallionfriend?" A familiar voice asks.

Twilight smiles a bit. "Mayb…" She then turns around and sees Cadance. "Oh boy."

"Oh, I can't wait to tell Shining Armor." Cadance says hugging Twilight.

Twilight let's go of the hug. "Don't, he'll kill him."

Cadance smiles. "Oh I'm sure Shining won't hurt him too bad."

Twilight just stares at her. "I'm not talking about big brother."

"Oh?" Cadance asks confused. "Though I must say, it is a surprise. I and the rest of the royals were thinking you were infatuated with Southern Cross." Cadance says.

Twilight looks confused. "Cross? His name is Apple Blitzkrieg."

"No, the mysterious Marshal Stallion you have been investigating." Cadance clarifies.

Twilight sighs. "It's just weird and how do you and the others know of that?"

"You asked the guards for everything on him and your brother is in charge of them all." Cadance says.

Twilight blushes. "Heh, heh, oops."

"Oh, I must tell your parents as well." Cadance says.

"No wait." Twilight says. Cadance giggles, but stops. "He isn't ready for that." Twilight says peaking Cadance's interest.

Cadance looks to her. "Really now, you got that far?" She asks smirking.

"No, it's just…you know what, it will be easier to show you with my newest spell." Twilight says tapping Cadance's horn with hers and Cadance saw all of what happened last night through Twilight's eyes.

Cadance smiles as Twilight let's go of the spell and looks to her. "Aw, my little sister is growing up."

"You now see why he isn't ready yet, right?" Twilight asks.

Cadance smiles. "Did you know Shining was like that once?"

"And he never told me you two were even dating." Twilight reminds.

Cadance giggles. "And now you are acting like him."

"Oh should I wait till my wedding and then inform him with an invitation as well?" She jokes.

Cadance laughs. "No sweetie." She then glares at her. "That's the worst thing you can do. Promise you will never, ever, do that." She emphasized by poking her with a hoof.

"That was a joke, but give me some time to help him get over this before you inform any of them." Twilight asks.

Cadance smiles. "Okay sweetie. Just remember to treat him right and help him in any way."

"What kind of mare do you think I am?" Twilight asks.

Cadance smirks. "A brash one that overthinks things. I foalsat you, remember?"

"Hehehe." Twilight chuckled nervously.

Cadance smiles. "Well, I have to go now. But remember, always listen, turns out stallions can hide it better, but they always need an ear for them that understands."

"Yeah, I gotcha." Twilight says. Cadance nods before teleporting out.

Twilight lets out a sigh. "I hope Blitz is doing better." She says.

Blitz grins nervously as the fillies' looks at him for his present. "See, about that present…"

"Can we finally open the box you sent from Los Pegasus?" Applebloom asks.

Blitz nods. "Oh, got here before me and yes, yes, you can."

"Yay!" The fillies cheer as they run inside and Applejack walks out.

"Miss me?" Blitz asks.

Applejack smiles and hugs him. "Glad you're back."

"Glad to be back, had a heck of a month. I was so tired I fell asleep at the library waiting for something and couldn't make it here." Blitz says letting her support him.

Applejack nods. "Well you're back and that's what counts."

"Thanks Jackie." Blitz says.

"Cool." The fillies cheered as they take out a gambling set for almost all the games of Las Pegasus.

"Before you say anything, it was the only thing appropriate enough to buy for them." Blitz says.

Applejack sighs. "At least they can have some fun."

"Just remember they're viciousness." Blitz reminds putting on a hat he got from Los Pegasus that was the same type as Applejack's.

Applejack looks at it. "What's different?"

"What, you don't like it?" Blitz asks.

Applejack looks it over. "It's just that nothing is…wait a minute, material is different. This isn't going to last long." She said frowning.

"Still nice." Blitz says.

Applejack sighs. "Yeah, it is." She said putting it on.

"Hey." He says with a joking tone.

Applejack looks over and sees him wearing her hat. "Hey, give me that." She said trying to reach for it, but he was holding her back.

"A trade." He says.

Applejack groans before taking off her hat and grabbing her real one. "There." Applejack says before feeling something in her hat. Taking it off and looking in it she sees a smaller hat like the one she wore when she was little before Blitz disappeared. "Blitz…this is…"

Blitz places his hoof on her mouth. "No need to say anything." Blitz says.

Applejack smiles as she looks to him. "There's some apple pie in the fridge. Why don't we all celebrate with it while teaching these young gamblers?" She said gesturing to the three fillies looking over the many games and trying to figure out which one to do.

"I didn't think you wanted to lose the farm." Blitz says.

Applejack giggles. "As long as there is no real gambles being played. Now get that pie." She orders.

"Ok Jackie." Blitz says.

Blitz heads into the kitchen as Applejack goes over to the fillies and helps them out. Blitz drools slightly as she opens the door and sees the pie in the fridge. "This will be yummy." He said reaching for it before his mic beeps. Looking confused he holds a hoof to his ear. "Yeah?"

"Can you come to the ship please?" Minerva asks.

"Terran awake?" Blitz asks.

"He's sound asleep in the living room." Minerva said.

"Ok, I'll be there in a few hours." Blitz says.

Minerva sighs. "Okay, I'll see you there." She said before signing off.

Blitz brings the pie to the table as Applejack is teaching them one of the games. "What's the game?"

Applejack smiles. "Blackjack." As an attempt at humor the other four at the table meet for a quick second before showing pictures of a black version of Applejack. Applejack frowns. "Very funny."

"It was a good attempt." Blitz says.

Applejack then smiles. "Yeah, it was."

"Ok, I'll deal." Blitz says using his magic to grab the deck.

They watch as he expertly like a Las Pegasus dealer. "When did you get so good?" Applejack asks.

"I watched the dealer closely." Blitz says, not really paying attention as he still deals the cards.

The others watch as he stacks the deck and then gives them the cards before placing it down. "Game time and I'm going to win." Blitz said with his poker face.

"I suck." Blitz said as he watches the other fillies win their last cards.

"Like you said, those three are vicious." Applejack says.

Blitz sighs. "Yeah, but you need to admit you lost too."

"Ok, I can't beat them." Applejack says.

Blitz smiles. "Okay, well I have to go. I'll be gone all night probably, but I'll be back in the morning."

"Ok, don't stay out too long." Applejack says.

Blitz rolls his eyes. "Yes mom." He said starting to leave.

"You get off with that only this one." She yells to him.

Blitz waves him off. "Yeah, yeah." He calls back before running off.

Blitz was still smiling as he reached his ship and knocks on the door. "Minerva, I'm here." The door opens, but the entire ship was pitch black as Blitz starts to walk around. "Minerva?"

"Yes?" Minerva said.

Blitz looks around. "Why is it all dark?"

"Oh for…" Minerva starts and the lights turn on and she was right in front of him. "Reasons."

Blitz finally sees Minerva in her new body. And apparently she choose the cybernetic version of her ponyself, her slightly blue metal skin, mane and tail a darker blue with it harden to a metal normal hair shape, flexible areas wherever there are joints on a normal pony, having a data screen in front of her eyes and some lines of light running along certain areas of her body. "Whoa, you choose the best." Blitz said.

"Of course." Minerva says tackling him to the floor.

Blitz groans slightly as he looks up at her. "Can't wait, can you?"

"I have waited long enough." Minerva says before kissing him.

Blitz's eyes widen as she kissed him and at the slightly metallic taste, but pleasant enough for him and he kisses back before he lets go. "Where's Terran?"

"Oh, he is sleeping, that loveable thing is raring to go for a hunt." Minerva says.

Blitz smiles. "Come on, let's take this somewhere more comfortable." He said getting up.

"Lead the way." Minerva says.

Blitz gets up and they head for his bedroom as he heads for his bathroom while Minerva waits a little outside. "That body, how well would it do in an environment?"

Minerva smiles. "This body is ready for anything. Water, dust, fire, and able to take hits from a blaster better than a normal pony. It even has an internal body temperature regulator for some situations and of course for this. Then there's the fact, I'm flexible, too flexible, but enough for a normal pony."

"What about blending in if I want you out there?" Blitz asks.

Minerva sighs. "Holographic system that fits the current body and handles changes as well. So if I get shot, a burn mark with some blood would appear, but in actuality the armor just takes it."

Blitz peeks his head out. "And the mane and tail?"

Minerva smiles and lets the mane and tail fall apart from their set position. "I can turn it to any style and lock it into place or make it free flowing."

"I see." Blitz says wrapping a leg around her and pulling her into the bathroom.

Blitz smiles and changes a few setting on the shower and turns it to real water running through the heads. "Can you help?" He asks as he takes off his clothes.

"Oh I have been wanting to for so long." She says as she helps him take them off.

Once he was out of his clothes he turns to Minerva and pulls her into the shower. "At least it's working." He said as he watches carefully for any trouble as the water falls on her.

After the shower, Blitz and Minerva walked to the living room area where Terran was laying down napping. Blitz sighs as he lays down on the couch and Minerva joins him by laying her head on his lap. "So, you got anything else for me?" He asks petting her head.

"No, not tonight. I want to draw it all out and have fun." Minerva says.

Blitz smiles and looks to her. "And how do you plan on that?"

"A mare has her secrets." Minerva says playfully.

Blitz chuckles. "Now you're learning about mare life."

"Yes, now you best go if Terran awakes while you're still here, he will follow you back to the farm and I don't think they can handle him." Minerva says.

Blitz sighs. "I wish I can stay longer."

"Just take him with you bounty hunting." Minerva says.

Blitz nods. "Maybe I will, but I may want to take you also. After all this, you need to get out and explore with me."

"Maybe, but for now go on." Minerva says kissing his cheek.

Blitz sighs. "Okay, see ya." He said kissing her before getting up and getting dressed.

Blitz snuck into the farmhouse and made his way to Applejack's room with no problems. After he quietly closes the door behind him he hears a mare clear her throat. Blitz chuckles nervously as he turns around and sees Applejack looking at him. "Hi…Jackie."

"I was waitin for ya." She says.

Blitz grins nervously. "Yeah, sorry. I got caught up."

Applejack says nothing and pats the bed, waiting. Blitz sighs and moves over and lays down in the bed. "Night Jackie."

"Oh no, you don't." Applejack says sleepily as she grabs him and pulls him close.

Blitz starts to blush. "Um…" Applejack puts her hoof over his mouth and lays her head on his shoulder. Blitz sighs and just sits there.

"I meant it when I said I love you." Applejack says suddenly.

Blitz's eyes widen and turns his head to her. "You mean…?" Applejack was already asleep and using him as a pillow. Blitz stays silent and helps her get into bed while putting himself in as well.

'What am I going to do?' Blitz thinks as he considers the future.

Blitz stares at his coffee as the three fillies still tried to play some games and Applejack was helping them along with Big Mac and Granny Smith. 'Three of them, one who's closest to me, one who's been there my entire life and one who's really interested in me. What am I going to do?'

"Hmm." Big Mac says reading the paper.

Blitz looks up at him. "You have a mare in your life yet Big Mac?"

Big Mac seemed to ignore him as he reads an article. "Huh, seems the princesses have put out a missive for Southern Cross in the paper." Big Mac says.

Blitz gets more downtrodden as he hears that. 'Great.' "What does it say?" He asks taking a sip of his coffee.

"They want him to meet them at the palace's throne room on Thursday at four o'clock." Big Mac says.

'In five days, huh? Must be to give me time to get there.' Blitz thinks.

"Does it say what fer?" Applejack asks.

"Nope, just want him to show up." Big Mac says.

Blitz sighs and gets out of his seat and starts to leave. "I'm going for a walk through town."

"Be back fer dinner." Granny calls.

Blitz gives her a wave before closing the door. "I'll join him." Applejack says getting up.

Granny smiles. "It's so good that you are spending time with him like the old days."

"I doubt it's like those days." Big Mac says. Applejack smacked him upside the head with her hat as she left.

Blitz sighs as he looks down at the menu, trying to find something to get his mind off things. "You going to order, bud?"

Blitz looks up at the bartender. "You got anything to help with relationships?"

The bartender raises an eyebrow. "This situation huh? Alright." He said taking out a bottle of liquor before pouring him a shot. "I'm charging you for the whole thing. Have fun drowning in it." The bartender says before leaving.

"It's a little weak, but it will do to at least relax my nerves a bit." Blitz says taking another shot.

"Really, drinking now?" Applejack asks walking in and sitting right by him.

"This is nothing compared to what I have to drink when I go to meeting with my colleagues. So do what you need Jackie?" Blitz asks.

Applejack looks to him. "I'm getting worried Blitz, you seem more distanced today."

"Yeah, that recent development means I got to leave for Canterlot soon. Asking for a meeting so publicly usually means only one thing when dealing with rulers." Blitz says.

Applejack watches him carefully and makes sure nopony was listening before saying. "Blitz, are you sure you can do this? Besides, they are asking for Southern Cross, not you."

"You ask for one, you ask for the whole team. That's how we work even if only one is called to meet." Blitz says.

Applejack sighs. "Blitz, is there something else?"

"I've had a lot on my mind for a while and need to sort it all out. Not good to leave it all like that for too long. I've seen it get somepony killed on the job because he was too distracted by it." Blitz says.

Applejack nods. "Yeah, except one thing. That bottle…" She said pointing to it. "Big Mac came here and had that, bartender called it the Relationship Sea. Supposed to help anypony with problems in that department."

"Just came for something to calm the nerves. I'll have to go meet the team in two days because of this and won't be back till after the job is done." Blitz says.

Applejack looked thoughtful wondering what could have him so conflicted as she tries to think of what it could be. She keeps trying to think until a beeps sounded from him, making her look at him. Blitz just looks slightly annoyed now. "Blitz, don't move and don't turn around." Minerva said in his earpiece.

"What is it?" Blitz whispers quietly, on edge in an instant.

Minerva was sitting in his chair looking at the cameras and screens trying to find out what's wrong. "You got another boundary in the bar behind you, one of the ponies. Got a DNA signature, but not even my sensors can pick it up."

"Equestrian bounty right?" He whispers.

Minerva shakes her head. "The terrorist bounty."

"Applejack leave, I got work to do and it seems one of my team is here." Blitz says seeing a suitcase in the crack of the door behind the counter.

Applejack looks a bit confused. "Alright, but come back and tell me everything. It's not best to hide when you're still hurting others." She said before leaving.

"I'll think about it, got to get my own thoughts straight first." Blitz says.

Applejack sighs. "Be safe." She said before closing the door.

Blitz takes the bottle and jumps over the counter and into the back.

The pony sitting in the booth found itself alone until a few moments later, Blitz reappeared in his blue aerial armor on the other side pointing a blaster pistol at him.

"B…But how?" It asks shocked in its own language.

"You slipped up." Blitz says shooting him with the stun setting. The pony grunts as the skin crawls before it started to morph itself into a chameleon creature.

'Unfortunately, it is too cramped in here for the pad. I guess I will have to take you outside." Blitz says applying the pad and dragging him outside by his tail before throwing him not so gently on the ground and activating the pad.

The ponies outside watch in a bit of a shock as Blitz was about to press the button, but stops. The chameleon looks to him. "What are you waiting for? Send me off."

"Where are the last three?" Blitz questions as he notices Twilight and the CMC in the crowd.

The chameleon ticks his tongue. "I don't know. We got paid and left on our own. We were on our way to Omega to enjoy life before some bastard shot our ship out of hyperspace and we got here." The creature says.

"Gotcha." Blitz says sending him away as he spots himself in the crowd taking a picture. 'Minerva, huh? Thanks for the cover story.' Blitz thinks before disappearing.

Twilight watches as he leaves. "Hey wait!" She yells rushing to where he stood before stopping. "Stallions. Never listen to mares."

Minerva walks away first with the camera and rendezvous with Blitz where nopony could see or hear them.

"Thanks for my gear and the cover." Blitz says. Minerva smiles as her body alters to her default form. Blitz smiles as he sees her naked form. "Sexy." He then realizes what he's doing. 'Dang it.'

Minerva grows a bit worried. "Are you okay? I'm picking up a lot of negatives."

"Did one of the probes show you today's newspaper yet?" Blitz asks.

"One moment." Minerva says and speaks again after a pause. "Ah, I see one of those." She says.

"Yeah, also I think we just got another 580,000 creds." Blitz says.

Minerva smiles. "I'm still upgrading and maybe order some more searcher tech and ammo and of course my favorite, the tech to get them."

"Maybe consider more probes to cut down on the search time for this planet." Blitz says.

Minerva nods. "I will, but…are you okay? You hardly go to a bar besides to ambush and trap our heads."

"I just needed to clear my head now." Blitz says.

Minerva nods and smiles. "Okay, but be careful, you know how reckless you are." She said before going to him and taking off his helmet and kissing his cheek. "Good luck." She said before taking the form of a random mare and walking away.

"Wait." Blitz says decloaking the briefcase on his back. "Take the armor back." Blitz says before taking the armor off with his magic and storing it. Minerva gives him the camera before taking the case and places it on her back before cloaking it and heading out into the streets.

'Now I have to head ba…' Blitz thoughts were interrupted when Twilight ran up. "Yes?"

"Can I please have the camera?" She asks.

Blitz looks at the camera on him before giving it to her. "Sure, I don't need it."

"Thanks, I will give it back after I develop the film." Twilight says.

"So did you read the paper today?" Blitz asks.

Twilight nods. "Yep, I can't believe Cadance didn't tell me."

"Who?" Blitz asks.

Twilight waves her hoof off. "Just the princess of love and the crystal kingdom."

"There is a princess of love?" Blitz asks imaging a mare in a cupid costume with a heart themed bow and arrow.

Twilight nods. "Yeah, I'll introduce you one day, but for now, you want to see what I'm working on?"

"I wish I could, but I have to help with the barn today." Blitz says sighing.

Twilight looks a bit disappointed. "Oh, well I have to work in a dark room anyway. And would be quite a little too much when still trying to train you."

"Yeah, maybe tomorrow?" Blitz asks.

Twilight nods. "Yeah, that would work."

"I'll see you then at your library." Blitz says.

Twilight smiles. "Okay, see you there." She said before leaving.

Blitz takes a deep breath before heading back to the orchard and worked his flank off the rest of the day. "Ow." He said to himself as he massages himself from the pain as he rested.

"Told you not to take so many at once." Applejack says, a few cold packs on his back.

"Yeah, I should have listened." Blitz says inwardly unhappy he removed the exoskeleton when put on his armor earlier.

Applejack laughs and hugs him. "Yeah, you should have."

"But at least you had to only take one." Blitz says.

Applejack grins. "That's because you have to get use to this and fast. You're also getting your exercise too."

"Yeah, like my job doesn't give me that." Blitz says jokingly.

Applejack just smiles at him and leans her head on his shoulder. "It's going to be until a few hours before you have to leave. What do you want to do until then?"

"I don't leave tonight, I leave in two days in the morning." Blitz says.

Applejack looks at him. "Well, you got anything you need to do for now?"

"Nothing comes to mind, so you heard what happen after you left?" Blitz asks.

Applejack nods. "Yeah, thanks for your pal helping us out there."

"The thing was the pony at that booth behind us." Blitz informs.

Applejack looks a little surprised. "Wow, what was he?"

"Well his species has no name translation for our language, they only have their own name." Blitz says before he makes a strange hiss sound. "Try pronouncing that in our language." Blitz says.

Applejack sighs. "Well, want to go eat, my treat?"

"Yeah, may need help to get to the dinner table." Blitz says.

Applejack giggles. "Alright you lazy pony, up and at em." She said helping him up and leads him inside.

"Thanks Jackie." Blitz says.

Applejack turns to him. "What is family for?" She asks as she sets him down in a seat.

Five days later, Celestia and Luna were sitting on their thrones waiting. To the sides, there was the Wonderbolts and Shadowbolts, Twilight and her friends, and Cadance, Shining Armor, and his guards were posted all over the room. All of them were waiting as Twilight looked at the clock as it was eight minutes after the appointed hour.

Cadance smile as she leans over to Twilight. "Anxious about your coltfriend?"

"He is not and where is he? He was asked to be here eight minutes ago." Twilight says.

Cadance smiles. "So…worried?"

"No, it's just rude unless he didn't read the paper and doesn't know yet or he seen it days later and was far away and couldn't make it." Twilight starts her worry rant.

"Or he could have been here for nearly an hour waiting to see if you would notice." A voice came from the middle of the court as Blitz appears in his blue aerial armor.

Everypony looks surprised as they watch him look around a bit. "How did we miss his magic?" Shining asks surprised. 'Or is it so advanced we couldn't detect it?' Shining thought.

"You asked for my presence." Blitz asks focusing on the royals on the throne.

Luna nods. "We did. Now we can begin."

"You requested me to bring in somepony or take something out correct?" Blitz asks.

Celestia nods. "We have gotten some reports of a large creature unlike anything we have ever seen before. It is a carnivore as multiple of our guards were eaten by it already. I am reluctant to do this, but we have already sealed off the area and our guards have made three attempts to take it down with no real success." Celestia says.

"I gotcha. So what does the creature look like?" Blitz asks.

Shining Armor holds his hooves opens wide. "Big, big mouth, lanky arms, walks on two legs, and acts like an animal."

Blitz thinks in quiet for a few moments before moving his forehoof and pushes a button. "This it?" Blitz asks as a small hologram of a Ranchor appears from the communicator.

Shining goes wide eyed. "That's it."

"Ranchor, nasty things to say the least. So what is the bounty you are offering since you didn't release the news to the public?" Blitz asks deactivating the hologram.

Celestia and Luna look to each other before looking back to him. "Access to whatever you want, bits and resources. We caught this thing near a village and we fear for their safety. Do this and you will have everything." Luna said.

"You shouldn't be so forward. Others of my clan might ask for an entire city." Blitz warns.

Luna nods. "That's why it's only for you. We know only you can take it down and deal with the body. Besides, we don't want other ponies to know about this or panic would ensue."

"Very well, than you have to build me and my team a base to my speculations and swear that your country will never attack it for starters." Blitz says.

Celestia nods. "Anything you need. Just get that thing out of our country."

"Very well, we can discuss bits later." Blitz says.

"I want to know the job is being done right. So you must take a few guards as well as two Wonderbolts and a Shadowbolt along." Celestia insists.

"Fair enough." Blitz says.

Spitfire, Soarin and Shadow walk up to him. "You got us." Spitfire said.

"Very well. Shining Armor who will you send?" Celestia asks.

Shining looks to Silver. "You, your lieutenant and I will go."

"A real squad is made of five your short." Blitz says.

Shining slightly glares at him. "We were the first ponies to deal with it and overlook the proceeding fights. I could pick a few more random guards soon."

"Very well. Pick them and meet me in the Nocturn bar in the city tomorrow evening." Blitz says disappearing.

Luna watches as he leaves. "Strange, I didn't sense any magic from that."

"There is much we do not know. It could be a more advanced magic than we have ever seen and that armor was very interesting. It was full body, yet their look to be no loss of maneuverability." Celestia says.

Pinkie pops up between them. "Or it could be this." She said showing them a video game poster with an armor around the same type as Cross.

"Pinkie Pie!" Shining Armor yells, using his magic to make her get away from the sisters.

Twilight sighs. 'At least there is an insignia on him and it's both of them. Wait, he said he would be waiting at the Nocturn bar tomorrow, that means I have a chance to talk to him.' Twilight thinks and looks around to see Rainbow seemed to have a similar idea.

Twilight sighs and turns to Celestia. "Princess Celestia, may we go?"

"Twilight it is too dangerous, the creature ate guards whole." Celestia says.

Twilight looks confused. "I meant back home."

"Oh, yes, of course you may." Celestia says looking a little embarrassed.

Twilight smiles as she and her friends started to leave while Shining Armor and Silver went the other way to find their choices and the Wonderbolts and Shadowbolt went away to prepare, leaving the three princesses.

"Your thought?" Celestia asks.

Luna sighs. "Quiet, sneaky at best and looking for openings."

"Feeling conflicted deep down, but suppressed." Cadence says.

Luna looks to her. "But suppressed of what is the question. War and the terrors of it or something entirely different?"

"No, I think that isn't the factor. He has seen a great amount of battles, but I think it is training and experience that allows him to suppress those feelings." Celestia says.

Cadance looks to them. "And the fact I feel some conflicting emotions?"

"I cannot say, did he have them before being told about the creature?" Celestia asks and Cadance nods. "Then it isn't with the job and is personal most likely." She says.

Cadance sighs. "Then let's hope it doesn't get in the way."

"I must admit, he does unsettle me. His skills and his feats are already making him a legend. Word has reached even the griffon kingdom and the dragons have even heard of him." Celestia says.

Luna smiles. "And he has many entrances."

"This is serious Luna, remember what he said. Others of his clan. He is not the only one. There are more like him, maybe even better." Celestia says.

Luna grins. "Even better."

"Luna, walk on eggshells with him. If we mess up, we could be facing that clan." Celesta says.

Luna shrugs. "As long as we respect them and treat them nicely."

"That is just it, we must be careful not to insult them in anyway, even if unintentionally." Celestia says.

Cadance smirks. "Then let's hope little Twilight doesn't do anything brash."

"Of course not. She's going back to Ponyville, besides her new library and her castle still needs to be watch." Celestia says.

"Since when have known Twilight to listen to herself after getting too invested in something? My wedding for example." Cadance said.

"She has a healthy interest, nothing more. If I was about a thousand years younger I would be trying to learn more about him." Celestia says waving it off.

Luna stays silent for a moment to let it sink in. "Should we stop her?"

"Could we if we tried, besides she also has an interest in a stallion, but I promised I wouldn't say who it is?" Cadance asks.

Luna sighs. "Not really."

The next day as the sun was setting, Twilight stood outside the Nocturn bar and gulped. "Ok, calm yourself Twilight, in here is Southern Cross, the one you have so many questions for." Twilight says.

"Twilight we are here too." Rainbow says.

Twilight glares at her. "Not helping."

"Y…You can do this Twilight." Fluttershy tries to encourage.

Twilight looks to her. "Thanks." Twilight said before taking a deep breath and opening the door. Inside everything stopped and looked at them. Twilight saw the majority was bat ponies which fit the dim and cool temperature bar. Twilight chuckles a bit as she and her friends walk up to the bar. "Um…do you know where Southern Cross is?" Twilight asks. The bat pony briefly looks at them before pointing to a lounge to the side before returning to shining a glass. Looking they see him sitting waiting with what looked like what could be described as a fish dog with yellow scales and black stripes running along its body, blue pupilless eyes, and four long teeth protruding from its mouth. Its head laid on Southern Cross's lap seemingly chewing something.

Fluttershy tilts her head. "What is that?"

Twilight looks at it confused too. "I think it's a dog."

"I'd be careful, that thing is vicious. They had a creature fight not too far from here with an Alpha Manticore as the champion. Southern Cross over there walked in with that thing and said it would fight it. The alpha died in less than thirty seconds of being ripped apart." The bartender warns.

They looked at it carefully as it chewed on a bone as they got closer. "It's…kind of cute." Fluttershy said.

"Hear that Terran, somepony thinks you're cute." Blitz says scratching its head.

Terran growls and looks up at Fluttershy before snapping its jaws at her and then chewing the bone again.

"Be nice now Terran, she complimented you." Blitz says as it kicked its hind leg.

Terran jumps down and goes over to Fluttershy before licking her despite having the bone in his mouth. The rest of the bar's residents moved away to keep distance from the creature.

"So what do you need princess?" Blitz asks.

Twilight steps up. "Well…" She pauses and tries to think of some, but before she could ask the doors open up and in walks Shining Armor.

"You're early." Blitz says getting up.

Shining was about to speak before seeing Twilight and the others. "What are they doing here?"

"I assumed the princess sent them here to speak on something." Blitz says before whistling, getting Terran to return.

Shining looks to Twilight. "Twily, you need to leave. This doesn't concern you."

"I have questions for him BBBFF. I want to ask him everything." Twilight says.

'Great, I can barely talk to Twilight and she wants to ask me about everything.' Blitz thinks.

Shining Armor sighs as he holds a hoof to his head. "So what are you going to ask him about?"

"Well…everything." Twilight says smiling nervously.

Shining just frowns. "Twily, you can't ask him everything."

"I am also on a job now. I have to complete it before I can take on another request. When dealing with first time clients, we are restricted to one job at a time unless there is a good reason or it aligns with the first job." Blitz says.

Twilight brings her head down slightly. "Oh, but still, I have a lot of questions. Wait, what if I come with you and help, that way it would align with the first job." Twilight says perking up.

"That would work, but I have no say in who my employers send." Blitz says.

Twilight still remained perked up. "So…I can go?"

"He is in charge of that from what I understand." Blitz says walking past Shining Armor and outside with Terran.

Twilight looks to Shining a bit pleadingly before he shakes his head no and follows Blitz right afterward, leaving Twilight to glare at him. "Hey! Captain of Royal Guards, I command you to let come!"

Shining froze. "Um…what was that Twily?" Shining asks nervously.

Twilight still glared at him. "I said, I order you to let me come along with this mission." She said hard with every word.

"I…I…I…I can't disobey an order from a princess." Shining admits head down as if sulking.

Twilight smiles a bit before starting to walk where Blitz went. "Now come on Captain. We have to catch up to Cross." She said as Shining nods and follows with his head down the rest of the mares following.

Outside Blitz walks out the bar and sees the others of the party. "Spitfire, Fleetfoot, Shadow Runner, Silver Spear." He greets as Terran walks out.

They eye the varren carefully. "Um…?" Spitfire tries to ask while pointing to him.

"My pet and tracker. Nothing has ever escaped him once he has caught the trail." Blitz says.

They watch the varren still chewing on the bone. "Weird, but cool." Shadow said.

"That is from an alpha manticore he tore apart yesterday." Blitz adds making sure the other three guards didn't get too close.

Fleetfoot backs away a little. "So, how bad is he?"

"He won't kill or attack unless I say, for example since you volunteered, hold out your hoof." Blitz says.

Fleetfoot looks a bit scared and slowly holds out a hoof.

"Terran, shake." Blitz says and Terran walks up and puts its paw on Fleetfoot's hoof and moves it up and down.

Fleetfoot looks a little surprised. "Wow…he's like a dog."

"That is partial insult, he is much smarter, but he likes you, you got guts doing this." Blitz says.

Fleetfoot smiles a bit. "Um…thank you."

"Terran sit." Blitz says and Terran sits down retracting his paw.

Spitfire looks to Blitz. "So what are we going to do?"

"I'm going to hunt and kill the Ranchor as the job entails, you ponies, I don't know. Mainly I think you will just observe." Blitz says.

Spitfire shrugs. "Well, we're just there to make sure it's gone or dead. I think we will just watch."

"It's good to see you got better." Blitz says.

Spitfire blushes to the point where they can barely see it. "Yeah, we just needed a week to fully recover."

"Good to hear." Blitz says as Shining Armor and the mane six come out.

Blitz looks a little surprised as he looks back. "So…what's the word?"

"Princess's orders. They come." Shining admits.

"Understood. We walking to this place or we going there another way?" Blitz asks.

Shining nods his head down the street. "The train station, we are taking the train there and it might take a few days."

"Understood. Terran we are going." Blitz says causing Terran to stand.

Soon everypony was waiting at the station for the military train to come up. "Excuse me?" A mare asks, coming up to them.

"Yes, can I help you?" Silver asks.

The mare nods. "Yes, I'm here for Southern Cross."

"What do you need?" Blitz asks before seeing her mane moves a bit and sees a break of skin and sees a bit of metal under it.

The mare smiles. "Ah, good. I'm here to accompany you on your travels from now on."

"And you are?" Blitz asks looking her way.

The mare giggles a bit. "The name is Miva. Nice to meet you."

Blitz sighs. "Very well." Blitz says. 'Could have come up with something better Minerva.' Blitz thinks.

Minerva nods. "Great, it'll be a pleasure to help you."

"You sure that's ok?" Silver whispers.

"She will follow us regardless, best if it is where we can see her." Blitz whispers back.

Minerva moves up to Blitz. "So, anything you need while you wait for your train?"

"This job is completely confidential." Blitz says.

Minerva nods. "Of course, sir."

"Silver you are going to have to watch her and make sure she doesn't get into trouble." Blitz says.

Silver nods. "Yes sir, but what should I watch out for?"

"Everything." Blitz says.

Silver sighs. "Okay." He then looks to Miva. "So, what do you usually do?"

Minerva smiles. "Assistance. I'm here as like a secretary to Southern Cross."

"You will be of use after the job then." Blitz says.

Minerva giggles. "Of course, I'll be happy to help with anything you need."

"The train is about to come into view." Blitz says.

"What are you talking abo…" A guard starts till they start to hear a whistle that was very far off.

They all look to Blitz in confusion while Minerva and Terran just either chews on a bone or write on a notepad. After a while, a train comes into view that was actually armored than the regular train. As it stop and steam up, a door opens and out steps a Nightguard. "Here is your ride my ponies." He said, stepping aside.

Blitz and Terran wastes no time and get on the train and the others follow and finds the train they entered with a large table with some papers still stern about and the map of Equestria engraved on it. Shining turns to the Nightguard. "Why wasn't I told about this train?"

The Nightguard shrugs. "Luna's personal train for anything in Equestria and sometimes the connecting lands."

"Get comfortable, this thing has lost ten percent of its speed for the armor. That is why it was exactly thirteen minutes and forty-eight seconds slow." Blitz says sitting as Terran joined him.

The whole group looks a little surprised as the Nightguard looked indifferent and Minerva kept writing on the notepad. "How…did you calculate that?" Spitfire asks.

"I learnt and calculated every train you have and also currently have power speed and fuel consumption." Blitz says.

"Wow." Twilight said. "And how did you get that far with all that information?" She asks heading inside and sitting down with everypony else.

"You would be surprised how easy it was." Blitz says causing Shining Armor to reevaluate the security for the country.

Twilight sighs. "So…how long would this ride take since we are slowed down a bit?"

"I don't know as I haven't been told the location where this Ranchor is." Blitz says.

Shining turns to him. "At least for a week in a regular train, this one may add two days."

"Plus eight hours and twenty six to thirty minutes." Blitz says.

Shining frowns slightly at him. "I'm starting to get annoyed by that."

"Your rulers ask me to do a job, I accepted. You can stomach a few observations." Blitz says.

Shining sighs and turns to the Nightguard. "Let's get this journey over with." He said making the Nightguard nod and head to the front of the car and to the front of the train.

"You can start asking your questions, but I have the right to refuse to answer some." Blitz says.

Twilight nods. "Okay, then."

For a week, eight hours, and twenty eight minutes, they rode the train before arriving much to Shining Armor's charging. Though the mares were both shocked and disappointed Blitz didn't take off his armor once.

Blitz sighs as he looks at the maps they were able to get in his room. "The probes couldn't find anything more?" He asks Minerva sitting on his bed, writing on her 'notepad'.

"No, it is far too strange that a Ranchor is here on the planet. It should have been noticed by somepony beforehand." Minerva says.

"Agreed. Something is off." Blitz says.

Minerva sighs as she lets go of the cover she's using for a bit and shows that her notepad was actually a screen in front of her. "I'll try to find any clues as you go in. Anything to lead us to what got that thing here."

"Actually, withdraw our probes. If I am correct, they have been detected and the one behind this is hiding." Blitz says.

Minerva sighs and hits a few things on the screen. "Done, anything else?"

"Leave the rest to me and Terran." Blitz says rubbing her mane before walking away.

Minerva smiles before charging her cloak completely and changing back. "Let's go, sir." She said playfully.

Blitz gets up. "And that's the first thing I want you to think on. I also don't want cheap furniture once you finish giving me your best estimate for the bits needed." Blitz says opening the door to leave and finds Spitfire there about to knock.

Spitfire quickly puts her hoof down. "Oh um…hi Cross. Um…" She looks away.

"We have arrived. Thanks for coming to get me." Blitz says putting a hoof on her shoulder.

Spitfire looks to him. "Oh yeah, sure." She said embarrassed as she then turns away and starts walking. Blitz walks with her as they leave the train. "Um…Cross?" Spitfire asks.

"Yes?" Blitz asks.

Spitfire turns to him. "Thanks for saving me."

"Don't mention it, I couldn't just let a c…" Blitz stops, encountering the same problem as before.

Spitfire stops as he stopped. "What was that?"

"Sorry, its part of a problem I have." Blitz says.

'C, c, c, Cute!' Spitfire thinks. "Cute?" Spitfire asks.

All Blitz did was nod while blushing heavily under his helmet.

Spitfire turns away, blushing a bit as well. "I…um…thank you."

Blitz says nothing as he hurried forward.

'Wow, didn't figure Southern Cross to be shy to mares.' Spitfire thinks.

They soon enter the meeting room and see everypony there already. "So, what do we got?" Blitz asks, slightly rushing to his seat.

"The creature has stayed in the valley so far and hasn't come out of what we believe to be its perceived territory." Shining Armor says.

Blitz nods. "Anything else I need to know?"

"Nothing we know." Shining Armor says.

Blitz sighs. "Okay, I'll start tomorrow at sunrise. I will see you back here two hours before that." Blitz says before vanishing.

"Well, even after being in around him for a week, I still can't understand him." Rarity says.

The rest nods at that. "He's…kooky." Pinkie said.

"Don't get me wrong, his mysterious charm is alluring." Rarity says.

"And I can tell he is very caring by the way he treats Terran there." Fluttershy says.

Rainbow shrugs. "I don't know, but he is cool in his own way."

Applejack remained quiet the entire time. 'Did Southern Cross told to meet him, is that why he left to meet with my cousin?' Applejack thinks.

Twilight looks to Applejack. "You okay?"

"Um…yeah, I'm ok." Applejack says.

"Look out Rarity, you have competition." Rainbow says.

Applejack blushes. "I don't like him."

"The blush speaks volumes." Rainbow says.

Applejack just throws a pen at her which she dodges and it gets lodge into her seat.

"Defiantly." Rarity says deadpan.

Applejack just throws papers at her.

Blitz reappears and walks the streets as he scans the village with his eyes. "Minerva, how far away am I?"

Minerva smiles as they see her still writing on her notepad. "The cave is on the outskirts of town. Just follow that street and I'm sure Terran would pick up the rest."

Blitz stops when he sees a few ponies bullying a pegasus mare. "I'll be there soon." Blitz says.

The mare backs away as they approach her before she gives off a shrill scream and then launched herself at one and starts to pound away at him. The ponies were a bit surprised, but then recovered and started to hit on her as she and the other pony fell down.

The pony raised his hoof to hit her again, but suddenly felt a hoof grabs his. He looked back and saw Blitz holding it. "What do you think you are doing?" Blitz asks threateningly.

The ponies start to back away as the mare stayed on the ground where she was rolled over. Blitz took one more step before the ponies started to run down an alleyway and leave them. Blitz sighs and looks to the mare on the ground. "You okay?" He asks holding out a hoof. Taking a good look he saw the pegasus had an light turquoise coat with an amber and gold streaked mane and gamboge eyes.

"Yeah, thanks Mr.?" She says taking his hoof.

"Southern Cross." Blitz says pulling her up.

The mare sighs in relief as she was pulled up. "Lightning Dust." She said while trying to hold her clothing together from the fight.

Blitz eyes the ripped Wonderbolt, almost, clothing. "Are you part of the Wonderbolts?"

"No, was a part of their academy until I was thrown out for reckless endangerment of my team and civilians." She admires, looking empty.

"Your life dream, wasn't it?" Blitz asks. Dust nods while Blitz looks where the ponies went. "So what was that about?" He asks pointing down the alley.

Dust sighs. "Simply, coming home. Course, when those guys saw my uniform they figure to have a little fun. I mean look how skintight this is." She said showing him her flank a bit.

"I can see that and your eyes mostly look dead." Blitz says trying to keep his eyes on her head.

Dust sighs. "That's what happens when I got kicked out and never to return and almost raped."

"You have nothing to live for then?" Blitz asks bluntly.

Dust shakes her head. "My family is actually dead. I was going to their home they left me when I got ambushed." Blitz moved close to Lightning Dust as she teared up and hugged her. Dust sniffles a bit as she leans her head against his shoulder. "Thank you."

"Dust, I have an offer. I may not be able to replace your family, but I can offer you a new life." Blitz says.

Dust sniffs as she pulls back. "What is it?"

"Ever heard of bounty hunting?" Blitz asks.

Dust nods. "Yeah, why?"

"I will train you and take you with me, but if you accept my offer, you must forever bid your former life behind you and there is no going back." Blitz says.

Dust looks at him before looking back at the town. "Are we traveling that much?"

"You have no idea, but I will be making a base soon." Blitz says.

Dust sighs. "Okay, I got nothing left anyway."

"Then welcome to the Mandalorians." Blitz says motioning her to follow.

Dust starts to follow him as Terran stayed behind them. "So…what are you doing here?"

"Just follow me." Blitz says as he led her out of town and to a place nopony could see in a forest's clearing. "Minerva open it up and let us start her down the path of her new life." Blitz says.

Minerva says nothing as something shimmers in front of them before an area of the air started to move and behind it was some darkness and few lights while a quiet whirring sound was spread out. "Come on in my friend." Minerva said coming into view of them from the home in air that was metal.

"This is the choice you made, Lightning Dust, don't back down now." Blitz says looking back at the slightly unsure mare.

Dust just keeps looking until she steps forward and Blitz smiles and leads her inside. "Welcome to the Darkstar One, my personal spaceship." Blitz says.

Dust couldn't believe her ears and was thinking she would wake up any moment now as she kept walking up the ramp with Blitz.

Blitz chuckles a bit before turning to Minerva. "Drop it later, for now, show her around. I'll go prepare for the Ranchor." Blitz says walking out before the ramp closed.

Minerva smiles as she turns to Dust who was still looking around. "Having fun yet?"

Dust turns to her. "This place is…awesome."

Minerva giggles a bit. "Well, bedrooms are down the hall at the end. We only a guest bedroom so that's yours. Bathrooms are connected to it. Kitchen is right over while here is the dining room, training room, and living room." She said pointing. "And finally, up front is the cockpit and tech center. You'll learn the other areas soon as you need them, but first I will start teaching you what you need to know about the galaxy." Minerva says.

Dust's eyes widen. "Oh boy."

Minerva giggles. "Oh boy, indeed. I'm going to have loads of fun."

Silver yawned as he sat in the meeting room at the ungodly hour as he waited for Blitz. "Shouldn't one of us have gone with him, at least looking at him through binoculars?"

"With his disappearing act. He could be anywhere." Silver says as the Spitfire, Fleetfoot, and Shadow Runner each had a cup of coffee.

Twilight sighs as she poured over her information she got while trying to drink something. "Has anypony seen Blitzkrieg? It's been almost a week since I last saw him."

"He had to go somewhere, something about buying something." Applejack says half asleep.

Twilight sighs. "I was really hoping he can tell more."

"Tell what now?" Rainbow asks after she just woke back up after her head hit the table when her head slipped from her hoof.

Twilight shakes her head and sips some more coffee. "Never mind."

"You can sleep if you want." Blitz says walking in with Terran.

They now all look surprised as they see him. "Cross, about time." Shining says.

"I came early Armor." Blitz says.

Shining sighs. "So you finished?"

"Preparations are done, now all that is left is the hunt." Blitz says.

Shining nods. "Can we go or at least somepony to make sure it's gone?"

"I just came from there. Three, two, one." Blitz counted down before explosions were heard and then a roar of anger and pain.

They all looked shocked as they look outside and sees the smoke rising from the horizon and then back to him. "Was that…?" Spitfire tries to ask.

"It's pissed and following the trail of blood and smell of fresh kills." Blitz says starting to leave.

Shining looks aghast. "You brought it here?!"

"No, still in the valley actually going the other way." Blitz says as he casually walks with Terran.

They all look outside again as they see some trees falling and rocks being sent into the air.

"Hitting the second wave right about now." Blitz says as more explosions were heard.

They keeps watching as a fireball went up into the air. "Anything else we should worry about?" Fleetfoot asks.

Shadow was just gorging on popcorn. "Or enjoy?"

"Um shouldn't we you know follow Cross?" Silver asks noticing he was barely seeable.

"Oh right." They all say before they follow him out and sees him sitting down in a large clearing with a large rock bridge over the only entrance through the valley with Terran laying down beside him.

The pegasus were watching from the air as a third cloud of smoke went up with another roar. "How many are there?" Shining asks.

"Four, but they won't kill it." Blitz says as they see a large claw grab the side of the cliff face come into view.

Everypony soon backs off. Blitz sighs as he sits up again. "Let's get this over with." He said taking a blaster pistol as the Ranchor comes into view. To the ones watching it was a massive monster that was burned and hurting. It sees Blitz and roars and charges as Blitz casually strolls towards it. Once the Ranchor gets close enough Blitz fires his blaster hitting a concealed explosive on the rock bridge setting it off and causing a chain reaction that collapses it and it falls and slams the Ranchor in the back crushing its back and pinning it as it roars in agony.

Blitz smiles. "Sorry I'm just doing my job." Blitz says shooting the blaster one last time silencing the Ranchor forever.

They all soon go to him and sees the Ranchor down the casein dead. "So…it's over?" Twilight asks.

"Not quite." Blitz says walking up to the corpse and withdrawing claws and starts cutting at its head. "If I am right, then it should be right…ah ha." Blitz says ripping out some metal with flashing lights.

Twilight looks at it. "What is it?"

"Nothing to concern yourself over. Terran." Blitz calls. Terran's head shoots up and goes to him. "Find them boy." Blitz says as Terran start sniffing the metal. After a few moments, Terran's yellow eyes turn red. "Go get them!" Blitz yells and Terran shoots off like a bullet.

"I will leave clean up to you royal guards." Blitz says running after Terran.

"Um…sir, should we follow him or dispose of the corpse as the princesses want?" Silver asks.

Shining just looked a little stunned. "I…" He sighs. "Let's get rid of the corpse. There's no point in following him when we couldn't even do it here."

"But that was following him, but we can follow his pet which he is following." Spitfire says as she, Fleetfoot, and Shadow Runner unfurled their wings.

Shining sighs. "Just stay out of sight."

The three didn't respond as they took to the sky. Shining Armor looked back to the corpse to see the mane six inspecting it. "Are you sure you want to do that?" He asks them.

Rainbow punched the nose and there was no response. "It's definitely dead." Rainbow says.

"Twily, help us get the rocks off it so we can burn the thing." Shining Armor asks.

Twilight sighs and uses her magic to life the rocks off. "There."

"Fire!" Shining Armor yells as the unicorn guards started to throw fire spells.

The three pegasus mares were surprised at the speed that Terran was booking it through the forest with Blitz right on his tail.

"Does anypony know what's ahead?" Spitfire asks.

"I'm unfamiliar with this area." Shadow Runner says.

"There is an old abandoned mine not too far ahead. I know because my hometown is nearby." Fleetfoot says.

Spitfire looks to her. "Think you can guide us while hidden?"

"We are doing a good job already." Fleetfoot looks distracted.

Spitfire keeps looking at her. "What's eating you?"

"It's just last night, ponies say they saw some strange lights. Normally that wouldn't bother me, but with the appearance of that, Ranchor, is that what he called it?" Fleetfoot asks.

Shadow Runner looks to them. "So you think they are connected?"

"Maybe, I'm not sure. It just seems that he either chases the strange or he is always there." Fleetfoot says.

Spitfire sighs. "Well, maybe we can ask him when this whole thing is over."

"Or she will ask him to sign that latest copy of Daring Do that stars him." Shadow teases.

"How did you know about that?!" Fleetfoot yells while blushing.

"Also that picture of him you keep in your favorite pillow." Shadow continues.

Fleetfoot moves over and starts to pound her in midair as Shadow laughs.

'At least it wasn't me.' Spitfire thinks as she keeps her eyes on Terran.

After a while they finally reach the mining town and sees it mostly abandoned. "What happened here?" Spitfire asks.

"Mine was closed down, but it was completely abandoned." Fleetfoot says suspicious.

They start to fly down and soon ended up behind an old building and sees Blitz and Terran walking down the main street. "Okay boy, where to now?" Blitz asks. Terran growled, his spikes standing on end. "Gotcha boy." Blitz says before he puts what looked like a metal helmet on its head. "Why don't you come out? I know you're here, if you don't I'm not afraid to burn this ghost town down to make you." Blitz says shooting a short burst of his flamethrower into the air to reinforce his point.

A deep thudding sounded out as a large creature came around a corner. "Nice job, very nice job." The large heavily armed creature said before smashing a building near him and destroys the front wall. "Want a drink before one of us kills the other?"

Blitz waits as he received the data on this creature. When it did, all he got was mostly unknown until his rap sheet and bounty showed up. 1,000,000 dead. "Save the drinks, I came for answers why there was a Rancher here and I find you. I think I will collect your bounty Warlord Krank." Blitz says as the aliens hidden started showing themselves with their guns trained on him. The three hidden mares could only watch at what they thought would be Southern Cross' death.

Krank growls softly. "You do realize why the bounty is so high, right?"

"Yeah and this is also personal for me now. I will avenge my brother and sister mandalorians you killed. Terran, sick the thugs. This is my prey." Blitz says and Terran shot off to the side and for an unlucky alien his arm was torn off.

"Kill that bounty hunter and his Varren!" Krank yells as he runs around the corner.

Blitz takes out his blaster and starts firing wildly as he moved around as best he could while lasers erupted from all sides and started to hit almost everything. Terran growls as he rips an alien's throat out and then runs to the other side and over Blitz as he ducks and allows him to jumps over as he still fires away and Terran runs to the alien on the other side and goes to his second ready kill until the alien's barrier went up and he charged tearing apart anything he could get his teeth or claws on.

The mares could only gape as they watch him bob and weave through all that. "Is that magic?" Shadow asks as a leg flies across their field of vision.

Spitfire could gape slightly. "Which one, the movement or weapons?" She asks as Terran moves past Blitz as he dodges him and allows him past while still dodging the lasers, almost in a form of a dance.

"Both." Fleetfoot says.

"What is wrong Krank, can't understand why neither you nor your thugs can hit me?" Blitz asks.

His only answer was an explosion to a building and debris falling down as Terran comes around and they both start to either move through it or evade it and, in Terran case, jump on it. Blitz then points to the right and Terran rushes that way. "You see, I have always had a gift for predicting trajectory, range, time lapse, structural weaknesses, and limits. I can predict every one of your shots and if I know where they will be, it is easy for me to avoid them and it make acts like this easy." Blitz says shooting his blaster, hitting one of Krank's missile launchers and causing it to spark before it explodes.

Krank growls as he looks to his busted launcher before reaching behind him as his other modified arm lets the launcher fall and he places in a new weapon. He then points to Blitz before firing a straight blue laser at him.

Blitz barely moves and the laser misses his head. He responds by shooting something small from his forehoof's armor that goes up the laser barrel and after a few seconds of beeping it explodes destroying the entire arm. Krank roars before running at him and tries to swipe at him.

"Now this is just sad, did you really kill other Mandalorians?" Blitz asks dodging and blasting him in the leg. Krank roars at him and charges at him, but Blitz jumps out of the way and lets him charge into a building that soon collapses. Blitz chuckles a bit as he shoots behind him without looking and takes out one more shooter. "You are an idiot."

"That's it, everything dies!" Krank yells as several parts of his body opens up and reveals missile launchers.

'Oh great, I got to get with Terran and what are they doing here!' Blitz thinks spotting the three mares before running towards them and whistles to Terran as the missiles start launching into the air. "Maximum output." Blitz says as Terran reached him and the mares and a purple energy barrier expanded from Terran and around all five.

The Wonderbolts and Shadowbolt watches as the energy barrier goes past them and the explosions and debris hits the outside. "How long can this hold up?" Shadow asks.

"It should be able to hold for this one barrage, but this ghost town will be leveled." Blitz says as his own armor's power reserves were being drained to power the barrier.

The Wonderbolts watches as most of the buildings start to either be destroyed or collapse from the stress of holding itself up in this now destructive environment. "Can you get him?" Spitfire asks.

"This is his trump card." Blitz says unholstering his second blaster pistol.

Fleetfoot looks to his weapons. "And you can kill him like that, without this shield?"

"The shield drops before this barrage ends and you four will die. I will survive because of my armor. The question is what will give first, the barrier or his ammo." Blitz says.

They all watch as the shield keeps sending energy waves as it was hit directly and debris fell on top of them. "Maybe the old buildings will protect us." Shadow offers.

"Or crush us underneath the weight like the Ranchor." Blitz says as he notices the barrier straining.

They soon turn their attention to Blitz as he looks his foreleg screen and watches a gauge. "Come on, Come on. Hold out." He said to himself as the bar falls.

Krank cackles as the final missile hits causing a massive explosion. "Always wanted to use that." He said to himself as the smoke clears and sees most of the town has been leveled and nothing of evidence of a shield. "Hum, good riddance." He said before walking away.

"You lost your final gambit." Blitz's voice was heard before two blaster bolts hit his last two guns, destroying them.

Krank turns around wide eyed to see Blitz walking out of the smoke. "How did you survive that?"

"Terran's barrier trumped your barrage." Blitz says shooting him in the legs.

Krank roars before trying to charge again, but was slowed down by his busted legs.

"Bounty claimed." Blitz says shooting once more blasting Krank's head off his shoulders.

The Wonderbolt mares screamed a little in surprise as the body fell down without any support.

"I had hoped to keep this secret from the rest of Equestria." Blitz says turning to them before inspecting them for injuries. "Are any of you hurt?" Blitz asks.

Shadow just shows a slight cut on her foreleg, Fleetfoot just had some of her outfit ripped, but fine and Spitfire some bruises. "We're okay." Spitfire said after looking themselves over.

"Who was that?" Fleetfoot asks looking around.

"Krank the destroyer. A self-styled warlord that destroys anything that resists him. That thing I pulled out of the Ranchor's head was a control unit. Krank installed it to control it and would have used to destroy and conquer." Blitz says.

All three mares look to where Krank's body is. "So…we don't need to worry about him, right?" Fleetfoot asks.

"He's dead, but his plans might not be, your leaders are going to have to start playing a bit of intrigue to find out if they are. I may have cut off the head of the snake, but the body doesn't die immediately." Blitz says. "I'm also sorry that your home town was destroyed." Blitz says putting a hoof on Fleetfoot's shoulder.

The mares looked shocked. "How did you…?" Spitfire asks.

"I researched each member of both your teams during the time I was guarding you to see if there was a possible personal reason for the crippler to have a vendetta." Blitz says.

Fleetfoot sighs. "Its okay, this town was too old for anypony to get through. I doubt anything survived besides wood."

"I got something!" Shadow calls going through some broken wood before she pulls out a wine bottle. "It says, wow, this bottle is around a few hundred years old."

"That's great, great, grandmother's prized bottle." Fleetfoot says shocked.

Blitz smiles as he turns to her. "Looks like something survived for you. Be happy you got something, most don't have that chance."

"And I wouldn't have that chance if you didn't save my life twice now." Fleetfoot says hugging him.

"Aww." Shadow said as she saddled up next to Spitfire. "That's a cute couple." Spitfire was giving Fleetfoot a death glare for what she was doing. "Oh somepony is jealous." Shadow adds.

Spitfire hits her. "Am not."

"Oh you so are, maybe I'll get a turn next." Shadow says.

Spitfire frowns. "Shut up. Besides he is shy from what I gathered so I bet he is blushing greatly under his helmet." Spitfire whispers the last part.

'Oh, he is shy, huh?' Shadow thinks smirking.

As Spitfire had guessed, Blitz was blushing like crazy under his helmet and unable to speak. He then feels another weight on him. "Thanks for everything." Shadow said hugging him.

'I will kill that mare.' Spitfire thinks.

Blitz pushes them off and turns around. "Well…you two better get going, I'm sure everypony is anxious to see you all."

"What about these things?" Spitfire asks pointing to the corpse and the destroyed weapons.

"I will destroy them so nopony who is militaristic gets a hold of them and tries to reverse engineer them and gets the thoughts in their heads to go out and conquer others." Blitz says.

Spitfire sighs and nods. "Okay, but try to get back at the train."

"What are you talking about, I'm thinking of building the base here." Blitz says.

They look around. "What base?" Shadow asks.

"Don't you remember, I told your rulers up front they had to build me and my team a base as the upfront payment." Blitz says.

Fleetfoot looks to the slight outcrop near the outskirts. "You want to build it here?"

"Why not, this town is very well located and one of the potential spots that were discussed. Also if we start building here we can cover all of this up because it is also involved with the Ranchor." Blitz says.

Fleetfoot sighs. "Okay just…"

"And we can bring your hometown back to life." Blitz says walking over to the first destroyed weapon.

Fleetfoot still looked a little down as Spitfire starts to pat her back.

"Starting with that building." Blitz says gesturing to Fleetfoot's family home, catching her off guard.

Spitfire smiles and turns to her. "See, maybe you can revisit this place once it's done."

"Spitfire, a request." Blitz says motioning her over.

Spitfire walks over to him. "Yes?"

"Could I borrow Fleetfoot for this project, ask an advisor?" Blitz whispers.

Spitfire looks a bit shocked as she looks back to Fleetfoot. "I…I don't know. But this is her choice." Spitfire whispers back before turning to Fleetfoot. "Hey Fleetfoot, how about you help supervise the rebuilding of the town?!" Spitfire yells.

Fleetfoot's eyes widen as she gasps a little. "Really?"

"Yeah, Southern Cross is asking for you personally as a favor from us." Spitfire says.

Fleetfoot looks around a bit before looking back to him and nods. "Okay, I'll do it."

"You got your answer." Spitfire says.

"Ok, do inform the rest please, I'll meet you there soon." Blitz says looking the destroyed weapon over.

Shadow smiles as she hooks her leg around her shoulder. "So…want to get back or stay a little longer?"

"We are going you two!" Spitfire says getting into her drill instructor tone.

Shadow just smiles as Fleetfoot takes off. "I wasn't part of your team." She calls before taking off after them.

"Terran." Blitz calls.

Terran growls as he pads over to him.

"Go and have fun hunting down the stragglers." Blitz says.

Terran growls happily and runs off.

Twilight watched as the last of the Ranchor's bone turn to ash as the unicorn guards were resting from constant use of fire spells for the last two hours. "That's it. That's the last of the creature." Shining Armor says.

"It reeks here." Rainbow says flying back, holding her nose.

"I think Southern Cross left us with the short end of the stick." Twilight says.

Rainbow frowns. "What do you think Twilight? He's just leave us with the good stuff?"

"I'm more curious about that metal he ripped out of its head, that wasn't there naturally." Twilight says.

Shining sighs as he looks over the ashes. "I don't think there is anymore."

"We are back." Spitfire says landing.

Twilight and the others look to them. "What happened?"

"Well it seems the thing was being controlled. The culprit was called Warlord Krank. Southern Cross has already dealt with him." Spitfire says.

Shining looks a bit surprised. "Really now, so it's over, no more other connections?"

Spitfire's show she needed to talk to him in private on that and Shining nods. "Go into town and rest guards." Shining orders.

The guards follows the orders and Shining moves over to her. "What is it?"

"He said even though Krank is dead, he might have set plans into motion that would outlive him." Spitfire whispers.

Shining looks a bit shocked. "Does he know what the plan is?"

"No, he says that to make sure the royals might have to do some intrigue." Spitfire whispers back.

Shining sighs and nods. "Okay, I'll try to arrange a meeting with the princess as well."

"He isn't going to leave, he says he is calling in the upfront fee already." Spitfire says.

Shining raises an eyebrow. "Let me guess, that base of his?"

"Yes, he also said starting the construction there will cover the battle and with it being a part of this incident, he is doing the princesses a favor." Spitfire says.

Shining sighs. "Okay, he just needs to give us the plans and well get building."

"He isn't leaving, he is starting the clean up by himself." Spitfire says.

Shining slightly glares at her. "Then how will we know what to bring for supplies?"

"Well yesterday, when I went to get him, he was talking to that one mare that joined us unexpectedly at the train station. He said something about not wanting cheap furniture and to give him an estimate on the price later. So talking to her might be the best thing." Spitfire says.

Shining nods and looks around. "Where is she?"

"Wasn't that Silver Spear's job to keep…oh right, you had him do something else." Spitfire says.

Shining sighs. "I wish I hadn't sent him off after learning this."

"We will look for her, come on Rainbow." Spitfire calls as she walks away.

Rainbow quickly follows as they fly off.

"Oh, don't forget to check her room first!" Pinky yells through a megaphone.

Everypony tried to right themselves as Pinkie looks back to their messed up and puffed up mane and coat. "How…?" A guard asks.

Spitfire was reluctant but followed her advice and found Miva asleep in the bed. Spitfire walks over and shakes her awake. "Excuse me?" She asks.

"Um…huh…what, no, the beer is under the elephant, I swear!" Miva says jolting awake.

"Um…we have a few questions that don't involve beer or elephants." Spitfire says.

Minerva looks up and sees Spitfire and Rainbow standing above her. "Can I help you?"

"Yes, you and Cross were talking about building a base, right?" Spitfire asks and Miva only smiled.

"He wants it made out of stone and steel?!" Shining Armor yells.

Spitfire nods. "Yeah, guess it must fit his style of weapons and armor."

"Tha…that is unacceptable, it is far too expensive!" Shining yells.

Spitfire sighs. "The princess promised them anything he needed. I'm sure they could find it somewhere."

"But you know how much that would cost, we don't even spend that much on the barracks or an outpost for the royal guards!" Shining Armor kept ranting.

"What do you think princess Twilight?" Spitfire asks.

Twilight pouts her lips slightly. "We need his help, how would it look when we can't deliver what we promised?"

"So, send the letter to the other princesses and have them start sending ponies and materials with the report?" Spitfire asks.

Shining looks to the ashes before sighing. "Alright, write it. I hope he can help with the building process, maybe help find a way to build all of it faster."

Celestia, Luna, and Cadence were having tea when a letter appeared before them. "Oh, it must the finished report." Celestia said smiling.

"You want me to get it or keep telling you about the stallion Twilight is crushing on?" Cadence asks.

Celestia smiles to her. "No, but I hope they have a nice relationship." She said taking the letter and opening it while sipping her tea. She then spit takes to Luna as she read what it said. "What?!"

"What is it sister?" Luna asks wiping off the tea.

Celestia grabs the letter with her hooves. "He wants a base out of stone and metal?! Mostly metal?!"

"So, Cadence's castle is made of crystal. By the way, shouldn't you reinforce that?" Luna asks.

Cadence smiles. "Crystals are almost to the level of diamonds, only something of that strength can destroy it."

"Luna, do you not know how expensive that is, plus it isn't part of the money for the job." Celestia says dread washing over her.

Luna looks a bit confused before taking out some material lists and looking it over. "Let's see, metal, metal." She then spots the material. "What?! That much for one six foot long piece of metal?!"

"What does the rest of the letter say?" Cadence asks.

"Let's see…oh, okay, I'm more inclined to build it now." Celestia says.

They look to her surprised. "What makes you say that?" Luna asks.

Celestia shows them the rest of the letter and their eyes narrow. "Alright, I'll start getting my ponies to look into it." Luna says.

Celestia sighs. "At least this will help establish their dominance and position here."

"So an investment then?" Cadence asks.

Celestia nods. "As long as they keep protecting us."

"Well at least we know where to look if anything happens as well." Luna asks.

Cadance smiles. "I'm sure they will help a lot, considering this is now mutual."

"And they are good at keeping confidentiality." Luna says.

Celestia sighs. "Well, at least we can give them a home also."

"And maybe one day they will be the royal guards." Luna suggests.

Cadance giggles. "I doubt that, with all their work and life."

"Then bodyguards." Luna says.

Cadance shakes her head. "Planet guard maybe, with all the creatures he's capturing."

"I wonder how long it will be till the Griffon kingdom and the other counties will start seeking him out?" Celestia ponders.

Luna looks to her. "Maybe we should make a treaty with him or at least for the planet."

"Luna, why do you keep saying planet?" Cadence asks confused.

Luna looks to Cadance. "You do realize I was banished to the moon and saw everything from there?"

"In Equestria?" Cadence asks.

Luna shakes her head. "Have you noticed that many of the ships we send out across the ocean has only a few that returned?"

"Um…no." She says.

Luna shakes her head. "Think, where are most of our foreign dignitaries coming from?"

"Across the sea from the eastern continent." She says.

Luna raises an eyebrow at her. "And you think it is flat, all the lands of this existence"

"Huh?" She says completely lost now.

Luna sighs. "Take a look at the stars and you would see they come by once a year, certain constellations. If the land was flat, like you are thinking, then we would see stars on the horizon while seeing the sun peek out."

Before Cadence could reply Celestia spoke up. "Ok, so I think we will need many stone masons, engineers, and construction workers." Celestia says looking over the request again.

Luna nods. "I'll see if I can also place a donation system for those in favor of his stay. And maybe now is a good time as any for changing the tax rules. Low taxes for the nobles and high for the poverty ponies, Tia?"

"Can we get a map to see the exact location?" Cadence asks.

"How did the tax laws end up like that?" Celestia asks.

Luna glares slightly to her sister. "Maybe it has to do with the ponies you left in charge of the tax department when I was banished. Really, nobles? They would save their bit bag then choose fairness." She said taking out a map.

"Well they were the only ones who halfway understood it." Celestia says smiling nervously.

About two weeks later, Blitz walks into the apple family farm house and just collapses on the sofa. "At least this can't get any worse."

"Hey there Blitzy." Applejack says petting his head.

Blitz just groans. "Not now Jackie, I'm tired."

"I'm here to comfort you. So rough last few weeks?" She says continuing her petting.

Blitz still groans. "You have no idea."

"Hold on, I'll get you a pillow, a blanket, and something to drink." Applejack says.

Blitz smiles as he lays his head back. "You're the best Jackie."

"Yer darn totting." She calls.

Blitz laughs as he feels something on top of him. He opens his eyes and looks to Applebloom there. "Hey kid."

"I missed ya." Applebloom says smiling.

"Glad to hear it." Blitz says.

"Y'all look like you have been through an iron pony competition after another." Applebloom says.

"Not quite, but close enough." Blitz says.

Applebloom smiles. "So…did you bring me anything?" She asks with a pleading look.

"How about this?" Blitz says lifting out a statue of Southern Cross in his blue armor from his clothes with his magic.

Applebloom takes it and looks it over. "Oh wow, this is cool. Thanks Cuz."

"No problem." He says petting her head careful to avoid the bow.

Applebloom smiles at the sensation before jumping off. "I got to find a place to put this." She said running to her room.

"I'm glad it made her happy." Blitz says.

Applejack smiles as she walks back in with a pillow, blanket and a cup of something cold. "Cold hard cider, really helps with aches and pains." She said placing it in his hoof before placing and adjusting the pillow and blanket.

"Thanks Jackie, I need this." Blitz says relaxing a bit and rubbing his head as his magic grabs the cider.

Applejack nods. "No problem."

Blitz smiles before thinking of something. "Jackie, why are you treating me like this?"

"Because I know you have had a hard two weeks, after all you were helping Southern Cross with that monster and most likely helping building the base from the shadows." Applejack says.

"Yeah, I set every one of those explosives." Blitz says.

Applejack sighs and sits down near him and starts to pet his head again. "Do you have another job now?"

"Not yet on a small break, but we decided to only charge the princesses only a hundred bits to their shock and we will be needing to earn more bits to start furnishing the base, hire other ponies, rebuild or build new buildings. The list just keeps going on and on and we have hunted down so many bounties so fast that there is either no big bounties to chase or they went into hiding. As such, we decided to leave Equestria for a bit and hunt in the Griffon kingdom for a while and try our luck there." Blitz says.

Applejack looks a little surprise. "So…how long would you be gone, a month, a year?" She asks looking away and stopping her petting.

"No way will it be a year. Months at least, though we have a goal and we are going for it." Blitz says.

Applejack nods. "So how long are you going to gone completely once again?"

"Don't know yet. But I'll tell you what, I'll buy you something nice when I get back." Blitz says, his eyes now closed.

Applejack looks to him. "Nice huh?" She sees him asleep and takes the drink away before pulling the blanket around him. "Night Blitzy."

"Jackie." Blitz says in his sleep, curling up.

Applejack smiles as she watches him a bit before getting up and heading to her room. "Oh Blitz."

"So you are telling me your job is taking to the griffon kingdom?" Twilight asks, her eyebrow raised.

Blitz nods. "Yeah and was wondering if you can help me learn about their culture and ways so I don't offend, on top of teaching me more magic for the next month."

Twilight watches him for a bit before nodding. "Alright, we'll start with the culture." She said taking a book with her magic and opening it front of him as she sits beside him. Blitz blushes a bit and tries to scoot away, but Twilight's wing wraps around him, preventing it. "This will also be another relationship lesson." She said winking at him.

Blitz was blushing full on as she started. After a while they finally made it past the whole book faster than expected as Twilight closes the book. "There, so you get it?" She asks turning to him.

"Don't get the whole feather plucking thing, but yeah." Blitz says as he focused on the lesson.

Twilight smiles. "Great, magic time." She said taking out another book and a few random items. "Next line in teleportation, hope you've been practicing."

Blitz smirks as he teleports the book out of Twilight's magic aura and into his hoof. "I'm not sure." He says coyly.

Twilight giggles. "Then transport all this at once." She said pointing to the many items on the table.

"Where to?" Blitz asks.

Twilight just points to the flowers, bows and chokers on the table. "On me. To see if you can send an item on a living creature all at once."

"Ok, I think I can do that." Blitz says focusing on the spell. Twilight watches carefully as items get encased in his magic aura before he lets go and sends them off. "Did I do it?" He asks.

"Why don't you check?" Twilight asks.

Looking at Twilight, Blitz stopped cold as he saw she had the items applied perfectly and she was looking beautiful to him, causing him to lose control of his blushing.

Twilight blushes a bit too as she circles a hoof on the ground. "I hope this isn't too much. I just thought that the guise of training might help."

Blitz tries to speak, but nothing comes out which he was at least not babbling like an idiot. Twilight sighs and holds a hoof to his mouth, making him go quiet. "Don't speak." She said before removing her hoof and moving closer to him before leaning on his chest.

Blitz immediately shut his mouth and just stays in place. Twilight smiles as she slightly nuzzles his chest making his heart beat faster as she can it. "I can hear it, you know." She said.

At that point, it seemed to slow down to her confusion until it sped up at what sounded like twice the previous speed. "That can't be healthy." Twilight remarked.

She keeps listening as the speed stayed the same until she wanted to know what was bothering him and looks up at him still blushing as he tries to look down at her.

She smiles and leans up. "Relax." She says laying her head on his shoulder. Twilight watches and listen as Blitz starts to calm down a little and smiles. "See…its working."

Blitz still couldn't say anything, but he was happy he was regaining control. 'Maybe these sessions are helping me.' Blitz thinks.

Twilight breathes in his scent as she watches him almost regain complete control. "See…you're getting it now." Twilight says as she closes in to his face before being interrupted by the door slamming open. "Hey Twilight, we are supposed to go flying!" Rainbow calls before seeing the situation.

Twilight remained locked in place where she is as Blitz was too freaked out to even move. Rainbow keeps watching until she goes back outside and closes the door and then they can hear loud laughter.

"Rainbow." Twilight growled releasing Blitz, causing him to fall down on the floor. "Sorry Blitz, we will have to continue this tomorrow." Twilight says.

"Um…ok." Blitz managed.

"At eight in the morning." Twilight say walking out the door.

"Um…yes ma'am." Blitz says.

"Good boy." Twilight patting his mane.

Blitz blushes a bit. "Twilight." He whines quietly.

Twilight smiles. "Now you're learning about a few boundaries when needed, but you did like it, right?" She asks carefully.

He had a massive blush on his face and he drew circles on the floor with his hoof. "It was…" He stops and looks at her. "One of the most amazing things I was feeling."

"Oh, let us see about tomorrow's lesson." Twilight says with a slight blush. "Oh Rainbow." Twilight says in a sing song voice. She quickly turns back to him. "Question, do you want me to keep wearing this?" She asks pouting to the black choker with small white frills around it, slightly purple bow and pink flower.

"O…only if you want to." Blitz says rubbing his hoof behind his head.

Twilight smiles. "Then I think I will, for you." She said heading out and then looking back to him one last time. "You do realize you're talking to me a lot better and not passing out, right?" She asks before quickly going outside and closing the door.

Blitz had a shocked face as he thought. 'Oh, I'm a little scared of tomorrow's lesson.'

"Um…Twilight, I'm here." Blitz says walking into the library.

"Oh come in, I have an assistant in teaching you today." Twilight says.

"Oh who…" Blitz stops seeing Rainbow in a dress and with different colored bows in her head. "Da…ah…oh…" He stutters.

"Rainbow has 'graciously offered' her assistance in helping you to be able to talk to mares and not just me." Twilight says.

Blitz stutters a bit more as he walks a bit backward while Twilight approached him in yesterday's outfit. "I think I realized that it gets easier as you know the mare, but Rainbow is barely known to you so it's a good lesson." She said getting a bit close before moving behind him and starts to lead him along.

"O…okay." Blitz says.

"Now Rainbow, time to start." Twilight says.

Rainbow just stayed frowning. "What the heck am I supposed to say?"

"Oh don't worry, I got this to help." Twilight says bringing out a heart shaped item.

"What is that?" Rainbow asks suspicious.

"Oh, something I got Cadence to send me." Twilight says.

Blitz gets a bit worried. "It won't…make us fall in love, will it?"

"No, just Rainbow for a little bit." Twilight says.

"Wait, what!?" Rainbow yells.

Twilight throws the item at Rainbow and it bursts into dust, making her blink and breathe a bit more heavily.

"Um…Twilight, I don't think me or Rainbow signed up for this." Blitz says now worried.

Twilight smiles. "You need to handle a mare who's too much and forward for your liking."

"B…but, isn't that a little too advanced for me right now?" Blitz asks as the pink smoke starts to clear.

Twilight sighs. "Blitz, you're going to be facing mares soon and they won't be like me so you have to do this."

"But…but…but…" Blitz tries to form an argument before he noticed Rainbow was staring at him.

Rainbow grins as she moves one of her dress straps off. "That is a sexy stallion if I ever saw one." She said lustfully.

"Um…R…Rainbow what are y…you do…doing?" Blitz asks as he starts backing up.

Rainbow licks her lips. "Having fun with the sexy stallion in front of me." She said reaching for her other strap.

"Twilight, please tell me she isn't going to rape me." Blitz say looking at her now obviously afraid.

"There, there, I'm not going to do that." He hears Rainbow whisper into his ear and a hoof around him.

Blitz gulps and turns his head to see Rainbow right by him and her dress half off. "Rainbow…please stop."

Rainbow grins as she keeps pushing him until he lands on his back on the floor and Rainbow gets on top of him. "Try me."

Blitz groans before pushing her away a bit. "Rainbow, I need you to stop!"

Rainbow keeps staring at him until she blinks. "Wh…what happened?" She asks rubbing her head and then notices what state she is in. "What the heck, why is my dress half off?!"

"Oh thank heaven, I thought you were going to rape me." Blitz says sighing in relief.

Rainbow glares at him. "Were you ripping my dress off?!"

"No, you took that off yourself after pinning me against the floor." Blitz says blushing a bit for the implication.

"Ok, now that the first time is worn off, I can adjust the level of affection." Twilight says.

Blitz looks to her. "You know about this?"

Twilight nods. "The reason she broke out of it is because you rejected her firm and absolute. That's what breaks the spell."

"Oh thank heaven." Blitz says.

"Wait, so if he didn't, I would have really raped him?" Rainbow asks wide eyed and Blitz soon makes the same expression.

Twilight shakes her head. "I got a counter spell ready to go in case of that. If it was getting to that, I would have separated you two and put it on."

Both release a sigh of relief. "Now what level of affection should we do next?" Twilight asks smirking. "I know." She said before hitting Rainbow with another heart and she fell into it quickly. "Stalker fanmare level who wants to be with you."

Blitz looks worried as Rainbow looks at him and takes her bows off and shakes her mane around. "Like what you see?"

"I…um…well…" Blitz says embarrassed, trying to form a sentence as he looks away, a blush forming.

Rainbow smirks and reaches for her dress buttons. "How about if I take off my dress?"

"W…w…what?" Blitz asks, his mind starting to go blank.

Rainbow starts to unbutton her dress. "Me, without my dress, would you like it?"

"I…I…I…" Blitz continued to fail to think of anything.

Rainbow moans as she finally pulls the dress off and shows herself off. "Well?" She asks showing off mostly her flank.

Blitz was now unable to speak as he was petrified as Rainbow smirked and wrapped her forehooves around him. Rainbow then smiles and moves closer to him before Blitz goes wide eyed and pushes her away. "Rainbow stop!"

Rainbow blinks once and sees the position she's in. "Dang it!"

"What, disappointed Rainbow?" Twilight asks smirking.

Rainbow glares at her. "Shut up Twi. This is your fau…"

POOF

Twilight smirks. "Horny mare, willing to get that stallion in any way possible and that means sexual acts."

"Twilight, please, now you are torturing me." Blitz begs now hiding behind her, making her realize he used the teleportation spell on himself in desperation.

Twilight sighs. "Blitz, there will mares out there that are like this. You have to face them. I'll stop it if you can't."

"Stop it now, please, my body literally locked up on the last one." Blitz says, the fear easily evident in his voice as Rainbow starts walking out of the smoke.

Twilight keeps looking at him. "Blitz, look at me."

"I rather watch her as that look on her face horrifies me and I already uses the teleportation spell on myself with barely a clear location." Blitz says, his fear increasing as Rainbow comes out and starts looking around.

Twilight presses her lips together. "Blitz, I'll be here, but you faced the others, you can do this."

He was no longer behind her though as he was against the wall where Rainbow had slammed him into. Rainbow licks her lips before kissing his neck making him completely lock up and look to Twilight pleadingly. Twilight just watches as she gives him a slightly firm, but also a worry look.

This kept going till she sees blood falling from the back of his head. Twilight goes wide eye and pulls them apart and places the spell on Rainbow before going to Blitz. "Are you okay?" She asks looking at his head.

"She busted the back of my head a bit with that slam and that move after that made me unable to say anything." Blitz says.

"Ug…what happened?" Rainbow asks holding her head.

Twilight looks a bit worried. "I went a little too far with the spell and it got Blitz hurt." She admits using her magic to bring out the first aid kit.

Rainbow groans as she gets up. "You owe me Twilight, a lot." She then looks to Blitz. "Sorry for doing that to you."

"It's fine. This is the least of my fears." Blitz says pointing to his head.

"Rainbow help me treat him, ok?" Twilight asks.

Blitz sighs in relief and winces every time they touch the sore spot until he was bandaged up. Twilight didn't look at him in the eye as Rainbow checks him over before getting up. "All right, that should be it. I'll…see you later Blitz, Twilight."

Blitz looks to Twilight who was still not looking at him. He was then shocked as Twilight takes off her flower and bow and was about to take off her choker before Blitz stops her by placing a hoof in hers.

"I'm not mad, nor am I holding a grudge Twi." Blitz says.

Twilight stops reaching for her choker and puts her hoof down. "I'm sorry." Blitz wraps her in a hug and says nothing. Twilight sighs as she nuzzles into his coat. "I'm sorry."

"Let's just not do that again and take it slower." Blitz says.

Twilight nods and buries her head into his neck. "I'm sorry."

"No more Twilight. Please, you're only hurting yourself now." Blitz says petting her mane.

Twilight sobs quietly. "I'm sorry for hurting you."

"Twi, how could you know that would happen?" Blitz asks continuing to petting her.

"I just wanted to get back at Rainbow for embarrassing me in front of you, I got carried away and didn't consider your feelings." Twilight sobs.

Blitz just held her until she stopped sobbing. Twilight sniffs and pulls back before reaching for her choker again, making Blitz hold her hoof again. "What are you doing?"

Twilight slightly looks at him. "I think it's better…if we don't remember this."

"Don't, that choker is from where I was able to teleport objects onto you." Blitz says.

Twilight shakes as she still didn't move. "And…this deserves it staying on?"

"Yes." Blitz says turning his head sideways to kiss her horn at the base.

Twilight yelps quietly as she felt the kiss and blushes. She freezes and looks up at him as he pulls back.

"Better?" Blitz asks.

Twilight keeps looking at him until she lunges forward and kisses him full on. Blitz freezes at this and only when she pulls back does he start to regain motor functions.

Twilight blushes as she covers her mouth as she pulls back quickly. "I'm sorry." She said as she got up and steps back.

"So…um…should we continue the magic lesson?" Blitz asks.

Twilight keeps watching him until she calms down. "Yeah…let's continue."

All the time he learned, he noticed she didn't take one look at him and kept her head slightly down.

"So tomorrow, same time?" Blitz asks.

Twilight sighs. "I think…we can skip tomorrow. Go out and have fun." She said still not looking at him.

"Ok, but in exchange Twilight, could you do something for me?" Blitz asks.

Twilight rubs her forelegs. "Yes?"

"Cheer up and stop blaming yourself for what happened. You're too cute to let it keep holding you down." Blitz says.

Twilight freezes as she now look at him. "You…you called me cute."

"I…I suppose I did." Blitz says.

Twilight shakes her head. "No, the fact you did it without a break, stutter or a pause."

"Well I guess I am getting better. Thanks Twilight." Blitz said smiling at her. Twilight smiles back as the bow and flower floats back to her. Blitz keeps smiling as he floated the items in front of her. "Wear them, you look better with them, though being without them I guess you can say you still look cute."

Twilight blushes and puts the bow and flower on. "Thanks Blitz…for everything."

"No, thank you Twi." Blitz says leaving.

Twilight watches as he leaves, still rubbing her foreleg. "Bye…see you tomorrow."

"Ok, see you tomorrow." Blitz calls back.

"Now I just have to go talk to Rainbow Dash." Twilight says sighing.

Blitz sighs as he sat in the café as Fluttershy sat across from him, now joining him a little while ago. "So Rainbow was under control?" She asks.

"Yeah, Twilight wanted to get back at her for embarrassing her in front of me and thought having her embarrass herself in front of me was the best payback. The last one I think she didn't take into account Rainbow's strength or how powerful her flying is." Blitz says.

Fluttershy looks up at him. "You are okay, right?"

"Yeah, I'm fine. It wasn't as bad as it could have been." Blitz says.

Fluttershy smiles. "That's good, but what about Twilight?"

"She is most likely trying to patch things up with Rainbow, knowing her. Though now that she has brought in Rainbow it makes me wonder if she will also try and get you, Rarity, and Pinkie to help me with my problem with talking to mares most of the t…wait, why am I not having a problem talking to you? Applejack I understand, because I grew up with her for a few years, but before I came to Ponyville we never met." Blitz says wondering out loud.

Fluttershy hides behind her mane a little. "I guess it must be working, Twilight's lesson."

"Um, I don't think so. I have met and talked with Rainbow a few times before and got to know her a bit." Blitz says.

Fluttershy smiles. "And yet you're still able to talk easily with me. Her lessons are working."

"But this was before the lesson, it's like I feel at ease around you and can talk plainly even about th…never mind." Blitz says quickly.

Fluttershy sighs. "Maybe I remind you of somepony."

Blitz looks like he is thinking hard on it as he studies her face. "Maybe." Blitz says thinking about a human woman who he went on a few hunts with along with other Mandalorians.

Fluttershy smiles. "Well…you're taking to mares and that's good."

"Yeah. You think you can help Twilight smooth things over with Rainbow as she can be a bit stubborn?" Blitz asks.

Fluttershy nods. "Sure."

"Thanks Fluttershy, also you realize you have fangs right?" Blitz whispers the last part.

Fluttershy grins. "Yeah, I do." She said taking an apple and bites into it before sucking out a bit of its juices. Fluttershy drinks the juice and licks her fangs. "Yummy." She said rather sultry.

"Do I have to watch out on nights of full moon?" Blitz asks.

"Oh no, you're a little too cute." Fluttershy says. Blitz just stares as he blushes a bit. Fluttershy giggles a bit. "Unless you need to talk or release tension, come to me. I'll help in any way I can, even this." She said drinking some more.

"So you are a vampire pony now, aren't you?" Blitz whispers.

Fluttershy waves him off a bit. "Because Twilight messed up a spell. But some stallions are coming over for help, talk or otherwise. I can make a time block for you if you want."

"One last question, have you tried to drink the blood of a pony yet?" Blitz asks.

Fluttershy shakes her head. "No, it was a fruit bat that I was changed into. A stallion asked for me to try it and the blood was too bad for my taste so I stopped that request, through the biting is still up."

"Um…which stallion was it?" Blitz asks.

Fluttershy grins. "Mr. Cake."

"Note to self: watch Mr. Cake closely to make sure he isn't turning." Blitz says.

Fluttershy giggles. "Want a session with me? I got time all day and night."

"Um…not yet, my month is pretty much booked and I have to leave for the Griffon kingdom next month for my job." Blitz says.

Fluttershy sighs. "Well, my door is always open, talk or otherwise."

"I'll keep that in mind." Blitz says nervously.

Fluttershy nods and keeps drinking the apple and looking at the menu.

Blitz sighs as he lays back down on the couch in the apple home. "Okay, so what's left?" He asks Applejack.

"Well, we got to do some maintenance on the barn next week." Applejack says.

Blitz nods. "I can help with that. Should be easy."

"Good attitude Blitzy." Applejack says.

"So Jackie, what is this about Flutterbat?" Blitz asks.

Applejack just chuckles nervously. "We thought we got rid of it till we found most of her fruits all over the floor of her home."

"Ah, so you know. Also watch Mr. Cake carefully, he had her drink his blood." Blitz says.

Applejack sticks her tongue out. "Bleh."

"I'm concerned he will turn." Blitz says.

Applejack smiles. "She was a fruit bat. They don't drink ponies."

"I'm worried if her condition isn't contagious." Blitz says.

Applejack eaves him off. "Its okay, her 'condition' is helping a lot of stallions and some mares. Because she can do that mind read thing, it kinda helps others."

Blitz eyes keep going back and forth. "I am very cautious on the supernatural Jackie." Blitz says.

Applejack rolls her eyes. "Bah, you worry too much."

Blitz was now cutting open some garlic as Applejack gave him a look. "What?" Blitz asks.

Applejack shakes her head. "Nothing, I'm going to bed. When you're done vampire proofing our house, come up. I have to talk to you, alone." She said before heading up.

Blitz finally went up there after every entrance had open garlic placed near them and the liquid around every edge of the entrances before he finally stopped and laid down on the bed with Applejack.

"Blitz?" Applejack asks.

"Yes?" Blitz asks.

Applejack rolls over to face him. "I know something happened that night. You acted weirder than normal that morning."

"Which day?" Blitz asks his eyes constantly scanning the room.

Applejack sits up a bit. "The night before the princesses asked for Cross to appear in front of them."

"I had to meet with the team Jackie that is why I left in the middle of the night." Blitz says.

Applejack shakes her head. "I meant after you came back late at night. What happened with us?"

"What do you mean?" Blitz asks.

"You acted like you couldn't face me and when I looked your way, you immediately tried to find something to do far away. Now what is it?" Applejack asks.

"Applejack, tell me the honest truth, how do you really feel about me?" Blitz asks closing the curtains with his magic.

Applejack finally backs away a little. "A lot Blitz. I care about you more than ever."

"That's not the only thing is it?" Blitz asks.

Applejack shakes her head before leaning hers close to his and giving a small kiss on the side of the lips. "That's how much." She whispered.

"That's what I thought. The night before you told me something Applejack, that made me really consider a few things." Blitz says.

Applejack looks to him. "What were those things?"

"My feelings and even now I'm still sorting them. Breaking steel with my head is not as hard as this. Also it doesn't help some old feelings are popping up again that I thought were gone." Blitz says.

Applejack sighs and reaches into her nightstand and pulls out a bag of bits and gives it to him. "Go to Fluttershy. She is more helpful than you think."

"Um…a little scared of her now and they concern you Applejack. I…I always had a crush on you even when you bullied me back then." Blitz says.

Applejack just points to the bits. "Talk with somepony else than the ones you have a problem with. That helps the feelings get sorted out faster and better. If she scares you that much, just think of her as the shy, friendly pegasus."

"Who is a vampire." Blitz says bringing her close when he heard a sound outside.

Applejack scoffs and forces him to let go and pushes him off the bed. "You're not going to sleep and end this whole thing until you sort it out. Go to her."

"It's not just you Applejack, it is Twilight as well. She obviously loves me in the same way, but I was trained hard for more than a decade with no other real contact beside the guy who trained me. I never saw a mare in that whole time. I am only recently meeting and seeing mares on a daily basis." Blitz says before sighing. "I actually feel a lot better having said that." Blitz says.

Applejack sighs. "But a lot more conflicted." She lays down and brings the covers around her. "Go see Fluttershy. You need another pony to talk to besides the ones that are involved in this."

"You truly have forgotten, have you?" Blitz asks.

Applejack waves him. "Yes, yes, I know she's a vampire. Just go." She said throwing her hat at him.

"I'm traumatize of the ideas of vampires." Blitz says getting her full attention.

Applejack sits up and looks at him and she sighs and gets out of bed. "Come on."

Blitz was forcibly pulled along as she recalled that Blitz's adopted parents accidently left the TV on a mature rated vampire movie series with a lot of gore and blood one night when they went out.

After walking for a bit they reached Fluttershy's home and sees a stallion walking out, smiling a bit. They turn to see Fluttershy waving him off. "Hope you have good luck on your marriage." She calls before seeing Applejack and Blitz, the former who was dragging the latter. "Oh, you decide to come after all?"

"Fluttershy, we have a little bit of a problem." Applejack says.

Fluttershy nods and lets them in as she pours them some tea. "So what's the problem?" She asks.

Applejack starts explaining Blitz's phobia with vampires and what caused it in great detail as Blitz keeps shaking uncontrollably.

Fluttershy sighs. "Adults with little phobias. Well this one I had before. Blitz…it was a movie, a make believe story. Some of those facts they tell aren't even true."

"Five movies." Blitz says.

"Um…Fluttershy I think that argument isn't the best as he knows you're a vampire even though you're not the type from them there movies." Applejack whispers to her.

Fluttershy nods and sits next to Blitz who started to shake all over as she came into close contact. "Blitz, why did you keep watching it if it scared you?"

"I…I…I couldn't stop watching." Blitz says.

Fluttershy nods. "So…you kept watching five movies for the whole night straight and when you had a chance to run, you didn't?"

"I couldn't move while I watched and couldn't sleep for months." Blitz says.

"I can vouch for the latter." Applejack says.

Fluttershy sighs and lays her head on his lap, freaking him out a bit. "Then you hate me?"

"N…not hate, fear…pure terror." Blitz says as Fluttershy could practically smell the emotion.

Fluttershy sighs. "So you do hate me and don't want to see me again."

"N…no, I was over this for a while till…" Blitz suddenly stops by biting down on his own tongue hard.

Fluttershy sniffs the air as she smelled blood. "I'll get a first aid." She said getting off of him and heading to the kitchen.

"Come on Cuz, it isn't like you encountered a real blood sucking vampire before." Applejack says. Blitz didn't say a thing. "Right?" Applejack asks again as his eyes scanning the room increased.

Fluttershy comes back with the first aid and they see her starting to show her vampire side. "Open your mouth." She said placing the kit right next to him.

"Cuz, answer me, have you ever encountered a real life blood sucking vampire?" Applejack demands.

"Applejack, I don't think that is hel…" Fluttershy was cut off when Blitz yelled. "Yes!"

Fluttershy and Applejack look to him. "Progress." Fluttershy said. "What, when and how?" She asks.

"It was on a routine job, we were hired to find some missing ponies and we decided to check a nearby castle. The castle was ancient and we figure it was just some bandits. How wrong we were." Blitz says shaking uncontrollably, his heart racing as he relived the entire thing.

Both mares sit right by him. "Keep going." Fluttershy requested.

"We catched a few rooms in the castle and thought it wasn't where they were and so we went to the main hall to leave, but then the nightmare started. As we were leaving, the sun was setting and something hit my helmet. I looked up and I found the missing ponies as another drop of blood hit my visor. They were mutilated horribly and looked like they were being harvested for their blood as it was being drained into containers." Blitz says.

Applejack holds his hoof. "Keep at it, you're doing great."

"No, please stop, don't make me remember any more please. I don't want to remember his face as he was dragged into the darkness by meat hooks. The terror on his face before the scream and being sprayed by blood." Blitz says now on the ground holding his head almost hysterical.

Fluttershy sighs and moves over to him. "You want it killed?"

"It's dead, I know it. I saw it skewered through the chest with a wooden beam that splintered in the fire and looked like a cross. I saw it burn alive and turn to dust. It's dead, it isn't coming back. It can't come back, he died to ensure it couldn't come back." Blitz says raising his head and slamming it into the floor.

Fluttershy nods. "Then what are you afraid of? It's dead isn't it?"

"It was already dead. We killed the thing on five different occasions." Blitz says catching their attention.

Fluttershy sighs. "So that's why. You fear he may come again. Well…have you accepted your comrades' deaths and your close brush with it?"

"It turned them. Three of my friends, it turned them into what it was and I had to, I had to." Blitz says trying to say it as he cried.

The mares look sadly at him. "Blitz, have accepted what happened to you and not denying it?" Fluttershy asks.

"I…I…" Blitz stopped when he heard something. "No, it can't be." Blitz says.

Applejack looks cursorily at him. "It can't be what?"

"That humming. It can't be her, not again." Blitz says.

Fluttershy listens and hears it too and looks outside to see a mare in blood red clothing walking the down the road, humming a tune. "It's just a mare."

"Bloody Mary." Blitz says.

Fluttershy raises an eyebrow and looks to the window and sees a mare's face right in front of it. "Somepony called my name?" She asked happily.

"Just die already!" Blitz yells firing a blast from his horn that obliterated the entire wall and shot straight into the Everfree forest.

They didn't see the mare again, but they heard a cackle echoing throughout the night. Fluttershy sighs and goes to Blitz. "Come on." She said holding out a hoof.

"Bloody Mary, what do you want from me?! Why don't you just kill me already?!" Blitz calls into the night as there was no answer and only silence.

The mares watch Blitz keep staring into the hole in the wall. Fluttershy frowns slightly as he kept staring. "That's it." She grabs him by the mane and drags him upstairs to her room.

"He was right." Applejack whispered as this legitimized all of Blitzkrieg's fears.

Fluttershy nods. "I know." She said entering her bedroom and throwing him onto the bed. "He needs to know not to rationalize every single piece or creature that play the part or is the part as all bad." She said before getting into bed.

"Fluttershy that was the real thing. The one that they call the queen of vampires and I know why he didn't want to remember. Don't you remember the old legends Fluttershy? She will keep coming back as long as somepony who encountered and remembers her. Even uttering her name makes her appear." Applejack says.

Fluttershy looks to Blitz who was about to have a nervous breakdown and jump out of bed before she lays down and lays her head on his chest. "He needs to know, just because one is here, doesn't mean he's alone and all need to be killed. That's saying I need to be killed."

"Wait. Something just occurred to me. He asked why you haven't just killed me. Implying this isn't the second time this has happened." Applejack says.

Fluttershy raises her head, but keeps her hooves on him. "Bloody Mary." She simply said.

Blitz started struggling greatly against Fluttershy as he looked close to a panic attack, but Mary never appeared.

Blitz soon slowly calms down a little, but still panicked. "Don't say her name. It draws her, but as long as you don't give her permission she can't enter the house." Blitz says.

Fluttershy sighs. "Bloody…" Fluttershy was stopped by Applejack. "Fluttershy, don't you dare." She warns now scared.

"Please Fluttershy, it is an absolute vampire that drinks blood is bound to." Blitz says.

Fluttershy frowns slightly. "Mary, do you love him?" She calls out.

There was no reply, just silence.

Fluttershy looks back to Blitz. "So do you still want to kill me and anypony who's been with me?"

"No, I never did, any vampire just scares me because of her." Blitz says.

Fluttershy leans down to Blitz's face. "Have you accepted what happened?"

"It doesn't matter if I accept it she is here, and oh my god, she is in Ponyville." Blitz says as absolute terror gripped him. "She is loose in Ponyville. A vampire that bathes in the blood of mares is in Ponyville." Blitz re emphasizes

Fluttershy sighs. "So because of this particular one, you fear every single thing with vampire in its name?"

"No, just legitimate ones. Now let me up, she is loose in Ponyville and I am the only one who knows how to hurt her." Blitz says now struggling against Fluttershy, a sense of urgency now fueling his actions.

Fluttershy pushes him down once more. "I thought you feared her?"

"She is going to kill anypony she can find on the street." Blitz says the words echoing through both mares heads.

Fluttershy growls slightly. "So why go after the thing you fear and relive the torment?"

"Because it's my duty. If not me, who else will stop her? I killed her twice now and I refuse to let her kill again if I can stop her. I won't let her take another one on my honor as Southern Cross!" Blitz yells.

The mares look to him as Applejack looks a little shocked while Fluttershy smiled. "Go get her." She said getting off of him.

Blitz gets up and runs out the door. "Blitz is Southern Cross?" Applejack asks not able to believe it.

Fluttershy smiles. "It was the fear of dying as anypony else would get, but also the fear of others he might lose under him. He needed to say it for himself. He wasn't afraid of Mary, he was afraid of losing the pony he loves that are close to him again." She said, shocking Applejack at the last statement.

"Minerva, emergency BM gear now, I don't care who sees." Blitz yells into the communicator as he runs.

Minerva looks a bit surprised, but complies. "Just don't cause too much trouble and keep her on the ship, she is nowhere near ready for this."

"No promises." Blitz says as he grabs a briefcase teleported in front of him before teleporting to Rainbow's cloud house and banging on the door.

Rainbow grumbles as she opens the door. "What is it?" She groans.

"Rainbow, do you trust me?" Blitz asks.

Rainbow tilts her head. "Well yeah, why?"

"Something bad has happened Rainbow, hold on." Blitz says grabbing her and teleporting her into the library, scaring Twilight.

Twilight looks to them slightly shocked. "Rainbow, Blitz, what are you doing here?"

"No time to explain, now be back in a second." Blitz says teleporting away. Seconds later he returns with Pinky. Then with Rarity and Sweetie Belle and finally after all the other CMC, Big Mac, Granny who was still asleep, and the Mane six were gathered he stops, taking a few breaths and sits down.

Twilight goes to him. "Running that many teleports is tough, but why?"

"It's because something happened tonight." Fluttershy says before telling them what happened.

Rarity gasp and hugs Sweetie Belle too tight. "I thought she was a myth, a filly's game."

"Oh please, there is no way she is…" Twilight stopped as Blitz was in front of her.

"Twilight, look into my eyes. Do you think I would joke about this?" Blitz says. Twilight looks as he held a stern gaze and shakes her head as her face reflected she was believing them.

"So what do we do?" Twilight asks.

"Here." Blitz says handing her a book. "This contains rules real blood thirsty vampires must follow. Read it now. I and an old acquaintance have business." Blitz says.

Twilight opens the book and sees the first section on protection. "Spike, get some garlic, a lot of them!" She calls out.

"Cousin, don't go out there." Applebloom begs.

"Sorry Applebloom, I have to do this. She followed me here." Blitz says.

"Blitz?" Applejack calls waverly.

"I had fun being a part of the family Jackie. Remember that if I don't come back, don't leave no matter what happens to me, even if I am about to die." Blitz says walking to the door.

Applejack shakes her head. "That isn't what I was going to say."

"Nothing needs to be said Applejack." Blitz says.

Applejack sighs before looking at him. "Who's afraid of going to fight this thing now?" She asks with a knowing smile.

"I am." Blitz says closing the door behind him as he opens the suitcase with his magic and slips into the armor, revealing he was Southern Cross to all of them who were watching.

"Twilight can't we get some help from the other princesses?" Sweetie Belle asks making Twilight quickly grab a letter and start writing.

Blitz walks into the center of town in his blood red armor with many silver cross on it. He then uses his magic to forcibly ring the bell. "Mary, oh Mary…" Blitz starts singing an old song mockingly.

Bloody Mary was about to sink her teeth into a quivering mare when she heard the bell. She turns to the mare. "Lucky." She said before disappearing and dropping the mare to the ground.

"And your head is on display on the table for everyone to laugh at. Oh, fear the queen of blood, fear the queen vampires, fear old hag, Bloody Mary." Blitz finishes.

"That's a terrible singing voice." Mary said appearing behind him.

"I'm not running this time, bitch." Blitz turns to her, his visor reflecting nothing, but the red clothing.

Mary grins. "Perfect, so you accepted your fate?"

"You could have killed me anytime you wanted bitch, we both know it, so don't patronize me." Blitz says with venom.

Mary smiles. "I just loved playing with you. Now I'm going to have fun killing you."

"I will kill you first." Blitz says, his silver claws extending.

Mary hisses as she leans down before she started to fall apart into bats and fly around him, leaving the clothes behind, taunting him to strike. "Let's play."

"I would say ladies first, but who wants an old hag to go first?" Blitz taunts and the bats just kept flying around. "What's wrong you old hag, haven't learnt any new tricks, still doing this like the last eight years?" Blitz asks.

A bat stopped and faced him. "Try something that like this." She said as some bats came together and formed a foreleg before trying to hit him.

"Where are you?" Blitz asks looking for one thing in particular, dodging the hoof before cutting it with his silver claws sending blood onto the ground.

Mary just smiles on her own. "Everywhere. How can you hope to kill me?" She asks while more limbs started to form.

"There!" Blitz says jumping and slicing at a red bat, barely missing before it transformed back into Mary.

Mary hisses before the bats cover her up and Blitz carefully approached the swarm before they flew away and revealed Twilight. "Blitz, what's going on?"

Blitz freezes. 'No you fool, that isn't Twilight!' He yells to himself, but his body refused to obey.

Twilight kept looking at him in confusion before she lunges at him and send him to the ground. "Too easy." She said with a grin and trying rip the armor apart.

Blitz, snapping out of it, brings his forehooves up and slam both sides of her head, disorienting Mary and causing her to drop her illusion and barely avoids another swipe.

Mary hisses at him before the swarm again comes over and covers the entire area. Blitz tries to swipe at the bats and lessen the swarm before his claws sunk into something and a scream erupted that sounded familiar. "Blitz? Why?" Applejack asks as the swarm leaves again.

"Quit playing with me Mary!" Blitz yells, slamming 'Applejack' into the ground causing her to separate into swarms of bats.

Mary laughs as she flew around him. "Now that was fun, who should I do next?"

"Let's see how your pet like this." Blitz says taking up the grenades and throws them. When they hit the ground opposite sides from him, they released a blinding light causing the bats to screech in pain.

Mary screams. "Daylight at night! You fool." She yelled as she formed in the swarm and tried to cover herself up from the light.

"No Mary, it's the advancement of time and technology. What is wrong, don't like flash bangs?" Blitz asks.

Mary hisses before launching herself at him as the swarms around him starts to go to him too as Mary forms claws on her changing hooves.

Blitz then vanishes to her shock and she skids to a stop. "What's wrong Mary, you thought I was the same after five years?" Blitz's voice echoes from seemingly everywhere.

Mary looks around as she growls as her bat swarms moves around her in a circle. "Where are you?"

"Oh, what's wrong, no fun when something does this to you?" Blitz asks.

Mary hisses. "Come out and I'll show you fun." She taunts while scraping her claws, making sparks.

"Oh Mary, you, like so many others, always make the tactical mistake of not looking up." Blitz says causing her to go wide eyed and looks up just in time to see and barely avoid a sword. "Dracula, stay back!" Mary yells instinctively out of fear rushing away.

"What was that Mary, something you actually fear?" Blitz asks.

Mary hissed quietly as she looks at the silver made sword. "I loath you Blitzkrieg." She said before charging while her swarms tries to distract him.

"Feelings the same hag!" Blitz yells unleashing a torrent of flame from his flamethrowers into the bats making them sheik in agony.

"My babies!" Mary cries.

Blitz laughs as he sends a grenade into the swarm coming at him before they take the grenade and then explodes into flames. "Fresh bat barbecue. Just need the sauce."

"I'll kill you!" Mary yells as she starts to transforms into an eight foot humanoid bat monster.

"Finally showing your true colors, huh, hag?" Blitz asks looking up to her.

Mary hisses before bats starts to come from all over and then she charges with them.

Blitz charges back, his claws extended as aims for one thing. The two swipe at each other and Blitz's chest armor shatters as three bad gashes were leaking blood as he skids across the ground. Blitz groans and looks up to see Mary slowly turn to him as he sees his claws still in her, but skewered where her heart is. "Game over."

Mary just starts laughing as she rips out the claw and reverts back to her pony form. "You really think it's over? Even if I die, I will just keep coming back." She says.

"Yeah, because you made a deal with the devil." Blitz says as his blood kept leaking out of him. "But Mary, all of our five previous encounters, I noticed something." Blitz says.

Mary raises an eyebrow. "And what's that?"

"You always made sure your blood ruby necklace was never destroyed in any of those fights and even let yourself be skewered to keep that from happening." Blitz says. Mary looks concerned and looks down and sees the necklace in pieces and Blitz holding a few shards. "Like I said, this game over."

"Next time you die. You die for good. I'm just sorry I couldn't do that." Blitz says chuckling as he saw her enraged as he started to feel cold.

Mary screams at him. "If I'm going down, you're coming with me!" She yells charging at him before she felt she hit a wall and looks around to see herself trapped in a slightly clear box.

"I can't let you do that." Luna said flying down with a few Nightguards.

"Let me out!" She yells banging on the box.

"You know Mary, it's quite beautiful." Blitz says.

"What?!" Mary yells.

"The sun rise." Blitz says.

Hearing that Mary could only watch in horror as the sun started to rise. "Damn you Cross. Damn you!" Mary raged against the barrier as power kept leaving her ever since her necklace was shatter.

Blitz smiles. "Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me." Blitz says reciting a passage, now just ignoring her as the light starts to touch Mary.

Mary tries to cover herself up with her hooves, they started to burn and burst into flames as the sun started to hit her. "I will get you Cross, I will!"

Blitz could only hear a muffled voice as things became dark and lost focus as his blood kept pooling beneath him. He was then rolled over onto his back as the guards started to work on him while trying to keep their shock to his injuries. He can then see some familiar blurred figures push the guards away and look at him. 'Hey girls, I'm sorry for not keeping our promise.' Blitz thought before he completely lost consciousness.

Luna and the rest of ponies in the square watches as Mary burns alive and turns to bone before only her skeleton remained and falls apart before they slowly turn to dust. Luna sighs as she brings over an urn marked with many sigils and puts the ash into the urn. "Get this to my sister and tell her to lock it in our vault." She told one of the guards who nods and flies off with it. 'We owe you again Cross, but I don't know if we can repay you.' Luna thinks, looking at the dying stallion.

Blitz groans as he kept his eyes closed. "Someone turn off the beeping, I can't sleep." He said, still sleepy and hearing an annoying beeping.

"Idiot, that beeping is keeping you alive or rather reading you as alive. This must be the fifth time you're in here for this serious of injury." A familiar voice said.

Blitz opens his eyes and looks around to see himself in the Darkstar's med bay. "What?"

Minerva scoffs as she comes into view. "When I saw the vitals dropping, I said, screw it. So I flew over and told the guards to place you in here while I work on you."

"I doubt they allowed that." Blitz says.

"No, they didn't, so I teleported you here." Minerva says.

Blitz groans as he gets up and feels around his chest to see it completely bandaged up. "How long was I out?" He asks sitting up.

"It has been 157 galactic hours, but four planet rotations." Minerva says.

Blitz goes wide eyed. "Four days?! Where the heck did you park the ship in all that time?"

Minerva smirks. "Canterlot airspace, near the castle where it's restricted for regular civilians ponies to fly."

"Great, just great, now we have tipped the hoof and they know Mandalorians aren't from the planet. At least tell me we are stealth." Blitz says.

Minerva nods. "The paparazzi were getting annoyed. Had to concentrate when I was fixing you up. The princesses did place guards around the airspace now."

"We are an international incident waiting to happen. By the way how is Dust coming along?" Blitz asks getting up.

Minerva nods her head to Dust laying on an empty bed where even Twilight and Applejack was sleeping on a bench. "Kept being worried about her mentor. As for the other two, they kept knocking on my door so I let them in as long as they didn't impede your healing."

"Minerva, you know the rules, we are not supposed to reveal any of this. Why do you think we have been keeping stealth this entire ti…wait, you camouflaged it to be a blimp didn't you?" Blitz asks with a knowing smirk.

"You know me." She says.

Blitz sighs. "At least they know to keep much of this secret, right?"

"The dark one is suspicious to say the least." Minerva says.

"Then she might be our best ally here." Blitz says.

Minerva nods. "I left a letter for her to let us meet her at night. I hope to get a replay soon."

"I wonder what the fallout will be. Bloody Mary was revealed to be real and died for good this time." Blitz says.

Minerva shrugs. "Probably help put many at ease now."

"Minerva, prepare the communication room, I need to speak with Mandalore himself." Blitz says.

Minerva nods. "I'll see if he's up." She said walking away.

Blitz nods and walks through the ship and to the communications room and waits as a connection was trying to be established. He then sees an icon appear and spin around before the screen changes to static before it starts to clear up. "…hear me?" A voice came through.

"Mandalore." Blitz greeted and bows.

A face finally came on. "Ah, Cross, nice to see you again. How has it been?"

"Bloody Mary appeared again." Blitz says.

The human appears surprised. "Really now, were you able to get away?"

"No, this time I'm sure she isn't coming back. I managed to smash her anchor to this world." Blitz says.

The human claps his hands together as he laughs a little. "I told you, I knew you would find a way to kill her."

"I almost lost my life this time though. But at least now, our brothers and sisters can finally rest in peace." Blitz says.

The human nods. "I will let the rest of the clan know. We'll throw a part in your favor. You should have one too."

"Can't yet, still on the job. I got two more bounties to hunt here. Also could you get the clans to look into the bombing more? I interrogated one before I sent him away. It sounds like none of them were in charge and were paid for it. If we discover who was behind it and present proof, the galaxy will be forced to put out a big bounty for the one or the ones who did this." Blitz says.

The human nods. "Of course. I'll send some teams out after our celebration. If we can find anything I'll send it to you."

"Also, I've got the royalty to start building a base for us. Sending coordinates now." Blitz says.

The humans looks to something. "Got it, I will send some men when things settles down." Mandalore says.

Blitz sighs. "Alright, I think that's it. Oh wait, one last thing, Warlord Krank was here and had a Ranchor with a control unit in its brain. I saw and destroyed the ship that crashed landed on the planet and this was a fully grown Ranchor." Blitz says.

Mandalore sighs. "This is troubling. You cleared the planet right?"

"I killed it and the Ranchor, but my probes never detected the Ranchor. Something is going on." Blitz says.

Mandalore nods. "We'll send our probes to the nearest pick up spot. These will be sensing on a different system altogether. Try to see if you can pick anything up those."

"As you command Mandalore." Blitz says bringing his hoof to his bandaged chest as a salute.

Mandalore frowns seeing his chest. "Get that fixed and good luck." He said before signing off.

"As you wish father." Blitz says turning off the communications. Blitz sighs before walking out the door and to the training area where he heard gun shots.

He walks over and sees Dust trying to hit a target, but only gets half her shots on it. "Calm down, read the battlefield see what plan you can do. Firing wildly is a last resort." Blitz says, steading her hooves, holding the blaster with his.

"Cross, you're awake." Dust says turning around to see his face for the first time.

Blitz tries to smiles. "Yeah, that's what happens when I get swiped across the chest."

"Huh, so you're a unicorn. I always thought you were an earth pony with all your physical strength." Dust says a little surprised.

Blitz shakes his head and backs off a little. "Yeah, there was always a confusion with me."

Dust turns around and sees his bandaged chest. "You're going to okay, right?"

"Getting hurt comes with the territory." Blitz says and gives her a smile.

Dust smiles. "The two mares are waiting in the living room for you. Wouldn't stop crying. Want to surprise them?"

"They were in the medical wing sleeping when I awoke. " Blitz says.

Dust sighs and turns back to the firing range. "Well it's time to go see them, help put them at ease."

"Ok, so Minerva has told you not to talk about anything about Darkstar One, right?" Blitz asks.

Dust nods. "Yeah, I don't have anypony to talk to so it's good."

"Ok, you alright?" Blitz asks.

Dust nods. "Yeah, I'm fine." She said trying to smile.

Blitz doesn't buy it and gives her a hug. "I'm here for you." Blitz says.

Dust sighs. "Thank you." She then let's go. "Now go see your mares."

"Hey, you're my mare as well." Blitz teases.

Dust hits him playfully. "Get out of here."

"See you later." Blitz says walking out.

Walking over to the dining room he grabs a cup of coffee as Twilight and Applejack walk in. "Blitz!" They both said before rushing over to him.

"Jackie, Twi, you two have a good nap?" Blitz asks.

Applejack and Twilight both hug him. "You're okay, right?" Twilight asks as she looks up to him.

"Yeah, I'm good. Just a little sore is all." Blitz says.

Applejack smiles. "Good." She said before she grabs him by the ear. "Because I'm going to do far worse for going out there like that and letting it happen!" She yelled pulling his ear.

"Fair enough." Blitz says.

Twilight frowns at her. "Go easy on him, he just had his chest sliced open."

"By Bloody Mary." Blitz adds.

Applejack looks at him. "You aren't afraid of the name." She observed.

"Oh she isn't coming back this time." Blitz says.

Applejack keeps looking at him. "And are you afraid of us now?"

"Why, were you bitten?" Blitz asks now examining Applejack's neck and was thankful he found no fang marks.

Applejack pushes him away a little. "No, I mean our relationships with you."

"Oh…um…" Blitz starts.

"Hey Applejack, did you know about Blitz's shyness when it comes to talking to mares about his feelings?" Twilight asks.

Applejack looks to her before smirking. "His parents tried to set him with a filly when he was young. He became a stuttering mess at that point when the filly said one thing."

"Oh, what?" Twilight asks.

"I don't recall this." Blitz says.

Applejack smiles as she turns to him. "You went unconscious after a minute of stuttering."

"What did she say?" Twilight asks.

Applejack giggles. "Do I look pretty in this dress? She was wearing a new dress and wanted to know. Unfortunately, Blitz was the first one to be asked."

"I think she was a unicorn. What was her name again?" Blitz asks.

Applejack smiles. "I think it was…" Applejack had the biggest smile as she goes over to Twilight. "It was Rarity." She whispered

Twilight giggles. "Really? Rarity asked him?" Twilight whispers.

"Yes, let's go see if she remembers later." Applejack whispers back.

Twilight grins as she looks to Blitz. "This might be fun."

"I have a bad feeling with what you two are planning. Please tell me you haven't spread that I am Southern Cross." Blitz says.

They both look to each other before looking back at him. "You do realize that when Mary busted your armor, everything fell apart after you fell."

"Not the helmet, I know that for sure." Blitz says.

Twilight sighs. "The guards pulled it off after trying to tend to your wounds."

"But did anypony see besides the guards?" Blitz asks.

Applejack shrugs. "We don't know. Because we were trying to keep ourselves under control."

"How did the CMC take it?" Blitz asks.

They look down. "Not good. They think you're already dead." Twilight said.

"Bring them up here." Blitz says.

They look to him. "You sure about that?" Applejack asks.

"Yes, I am. They won't be able to cause too much damage to Darkstar One." Blitz says.

They both look to each other before looking back at him. "Okay, we'll try to get them here." Twilight said.

"Minerva, lower us so they can enter without having to fly." Blitz says.

"Of course." Minerva said as she lowers the ship.

They both look to the many windows and sees the street coming into view. "Canterlot, ground floor." Blitz announces playfully.

"This thing is amazing." Twilight says.

"I know." Blitz says as Terran walks up to him.

Twilight then hugs him. "You're amazing."

"Not that amazing. Now go on, it's time the three got a nice surprise." Blitz says.

Twilight smiles and lets go before giving him a small kiss and then turns to leave. "Come on Applejack."

"Alright Twi. We will be talking about this later." Applejack says before leaving.

"You doing good boy?" Blitz asks scratching Terran's head.

Terran just barks and stamps his hind leg.

"That's what I like to hear." Blitz says.

Minerva comes around the bend of a hallway. "You ready?"

"Give me a little time with the little ones then I'll slip into some armor and go see the royals." Blitz says.

Minerva nods. "Sure, you have fun." She said before walking off.

"Ok and please don't assume Miva, unless at the base, gives the illusion of a bigger staff." Blitz says.

Minerva waves at him. "You got it cutie."

Blitz sat on a chair as he waited for a bit with Terran unto he heard the someponies come in. "Cool!" He heard. Blitz smiles as he waited for them to enter the living room area.

Soon the CMC came into the room and sees Blitz sitting there with Terran sitting right by him.

"Hey girls, miss me?" He asks smiling.

Applebloom immediately races to him. "Cuz!" She yells before jumping into his lap.

"Hey Applebloom, I'm glad to see you're ok." Blitz says.

Applebloom hugs him. "I'm happy to see you're okay too."

Blitz just smiles and pats her head as Terran looks up at her. Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle look at him as they see the bandage area.

"This is nothing girls, I'm ok now." Blitz says as Scootaloo just stares at him with a smile. Blitz just smiles back. "Yes, I am Southern Cross, the pony who you have been following." Blitz says.

Scootaloo smiles big before jumping into his lap. "Awesome, I got two awesome ponies to be with."

"But you can't tell anypony I am Southern Cross." Blitz says.

They bring their heads down. "Aww." Applebloom whines.

Scootaloo sighs. "Well, there goes our chance at beating Diamond Tiara."

"Why do you care what she says?" Blitz asks.

They look up at him. "You do realize we don't have cutie marks, right?" Sweetie Belle asks.

"I never really understood the whole cutie mark thing." Blitz says.

They show their blank flanks. "You don't have a cutie mark then you are not cool or grown up." Applebloom said.

"Bullies will always use what makes you different to make fun of you to make themselves feel better, just ignore them and they lose all interest. Now, who wants to see more of Darkstar one?" Blitz asks.

All the fillies' legs rise up.

"Ok, lets' go then. Terran, come on boy." Blitz says as the girls let him get up. Blitz them shows them around the ship to their amazement.

"Cuz, this whole thing is yours?" Applebloom asks as they look around.

"Yes and I personalized it as well." Blitz says.

"Cool." They said as they look at every nook and cranny.

"Don't take anything apart girls." Blitz calls.

"Okay." They called back.

"I'm leaving Terran with you, so you don't get lost." Blitz calls walking away.

"Okay." They called as Terran sits down and watches them.

Blitz smiled as he heads to the armory. "Have fun." Minerva called.

"They are cute kids." Blitz says putting on his blue aerial armor. "Ah, there you are B…oh my." Blitz hears a voice behind him. Turning around he sees Fluttershy. "Fluttershy, what can I do for you?" Blitz asks.

Fluttershy blushes slightly. "Well…I came by to see how you are doing and to schedule our next session as you are not over your fear of vampires." She says noticing his shiver from seeing her.

"Um…sure, how does tonight sound?" Blitz asks.

Fluttershy nods. "Okay, that's fine. Also I can help with anything else, remember that, so is there anything. Maybe that love triangle you're doing or is it a love square?" Blitz just stares at her. "Mind reader, remember." She said with a smile.

"D…did you just come on to me?" Blitz asks, glad his helmet was on.

Fluttershy shakes her head. "No, you have enough problems. But I can help if you are unsure or don't know what to do."

"Um…ok." Blitz says.

Fluttershy sighs. "Blitz, we'll always be here for you. You don't have to do things alone."

"I'm not alone Fluttershy. I'm a Mandalorian and we are never alone." Blitz says.

Fluttershy taps her hoof on the ground. "I meant here, among friends and family."

"I will think on what you have said." Blitz says.

Fluttershy nods. "Please see that you do."

Blitz finish putting on his armor before walking past her. "I have to see the royals." Blitz says.

Fluttershy smiles. "Have fun."

"Don't count on it." Blitz says.

Fluttershy rolls her eyes. "Oh yes, you never have fun."

"No, its just business." Blitz says before heading out the ship. "Okay, where to?" He asks himself. Blitz sees the guards and just walks passed them to the throne room.

"I'm up. How's the ashes? Holy shit! Is that Betty?!" He asks bluntly.

"Sir, you don't have an app…" The pony was silenced by a back hoof to the face and pushes him to the opposite side of the room. "Get out of my way." Blitz said as he kept walking up, ignoring the pony who has crashed into a table.

"Ah, Cross, we have been expecting you." Celestia says.

Blitz shrugs. "Yes, yes, the ashes?"

"Secured in our vault." Celestia says.

"I would rather destroy them." Blitz says.

Celestia raises an eyebrow. "And how would you destroy something that is already in a destroyed state?"

"Simple, extreme heat." Blitz says.

Celestia keeps looking at him. "You want to banish the ash to the sun?"

"Call it being cautious, as this isn't the first time she has died." Blitz says causing the court to whisper amongst themselves.

Celestia sighs and turns to Luna. "Get the ash." Who nods and leaves.

Blitz waits in silence until Celestia spoke again. "I was told the armor you wore fighting her was destroyed and they were unsure if you were going to live." Celestia says.

"A fair assessment." Blitz says.

Celestia looks him over. "How did you survive?"

"My team administered medical care on the Darkstar One." Blitz says.

Celestia raises an eyebrow. "Darkstar One?"

"The name of my ship outside." Blitz says.

Celestia and the others looks outside the window and sees only a blimp. "That thing…is your ship?" Celestia asks.

"Yes, it is my personal ship." Blitz says.

Celestia looks to the blimp again. "And I wonder how you kept getting past all the security and being noticed by us."

"Because like me, it disappears." Blitz says.

Celestia nods. "I see."

Luna then returns with the ash and gives it him. "It should be fine as long as you don't open it." She told him.

"Don't worry, it will never be opened again." Blitz says, taking the urn.

Luna sighs. "Alright then." She said before heading back to her seat.

"Thank you." Blitz says starting to leave.

"Oh, by the way, have you heard yet?" Luna asks.

Blitz turns to her. "Heard what?"

"The tale of your fight with Bloody Mary has spread already. By now, most of Equestria has heard of it." Luna says.

Blitz chuckles a little. "Oh that sounds lovely. But I still haven't completely finished her yet." He said showing the urn. "Well, gotta go." He said before leaving.

"Oh and I swore my guards to secrecy and made sure nopony saw what you look like under your helmet cutie." Luna calls.

Blitz freezes up as the Nightguards smirks. 'Just keep walking.' He thinks to himself before walking again as the court erupted into who is Cross.

Blitz walks back into Darkstar One to see the three fillies playing with Terran. He chuckles as Terran just plays around with them. "Okay you three, that's enough. I got a job to do before I can actually come home." He said taking off his helmet.

"Aww!" They whined.

Blitz watches as they pout. "How about I show you something, something that nopony here can experience that much?"

"Ok!" They all say in unison.

Blitz chuckles. "Minerva, lock up and take off. To the sun!" He said as he got out of his armor.

The ship started to shake as Blitz got out of his armor and walks to the cockpit with the three fillies following. "Minerva, tell Dust to join me in the cockpit." Blitz says.

Minerva smiles and steps out of her seat and shows the fillies that she was a pony robot. "Quiet." She said smirking at the fillies who were dumbstruck as she walks past. "Dust, get up to the cockpit. Blitz needs you." She said before going to another seat and working on something.

"Stealth systems engaged, let's take her into space." Blitz says as the fillies were glued to the window.

The mane six were eating and talking about a few things in the kitchen when they suddenly heard. "Dust, get up to the cockpit. Blitz needs you."

They turns to each other shocked, except for Twilight, Applejack and Fluttershy. "Dust, as in Lightning Dust?" Rainbow asked. "The same Lightning Dust who convinced me to make a tornado at the academy?"

"I'm coming." Dust calls as she runs past them and into the cockpit.

"I think that is her." Twilight says.

"Want to follow her to this cockpit?" Applejack asks.

Everypony immediately got up and followed to which they found Dust sitting in one of the seats while Minerva and Blitz stay in their own and the CMC were at the window. "What's going on?" Applejack asks.

"Power is holding steady, leaving the atmosphere." Blitz says concentrating on piloting too much to notice.

"All systems green, no problems detected." Minerva says.

Blitz nods. "And hit the thrusters." He said before a sudden force pushes everypony back a bit as the ship flies out of the cloud cover and straight into space before calming down. "Seals?"

"All locked down. No problems detected." Minerva says.

"Alright, leaving the stratosphere now." Blitz says as everything started to float. "Minerva, engage artificial gravity." Blitz instructs.

Minerva smiles as everypony tried to find something to hang on to before they fell down as a hissing sound came out. "Done. Destination set, going to the sun."

"Right, leaving planet's gravity. Ok girls, welcome to outerspa…" Blitz stops seeing the mane six. "What are all of you doing here?"

"I let them in so they could eat and talk." Minerva says.

Blitz frowns a little. "We're going to have a big talk about this." He then sighs and looks back to the mares. "Welcome to space." He said before leaning back in his seat again.

"Somepony pinch me. I have to be dreaming this." Rainbow says.

Pinkie holds up a clamp.

Blitz watches as everypony else joins the fillies. "Ow!"

"If you look to the left, you will see the moon." Blitz says.

Soon everypony looks over and sees Luna's moon. "She stayed on that, how horrible." Rarity said.

"Please find a seat and buckle in, after we pass it we will be picking up speed." Blitz says. "Dust let's see how much you have been paying attention in your lessons, man the radar station." Blitz says.

Dust gives a salute. "Ay, ay, sir." She said heading to the radar seat.

Rainbow looks a bit surprised. "How did you…?"

"Cross recruited me in my home town less than three weeks ago." Dust says.

Rainbow looks to her. "Why go with him?"

"I had nothing left and besides he saved me from being raped." Dust says. "Ok, this turns it on and this tells the distance." She started saying out loud.

Blitz smiles and messes with a few controls on his floating screen in front of him. He moves a few out of the way before changing a few numbers and then moves everything back. "Huh, now the distance is on the objects. I didn't press anything." Dust said.

"I did from here. It's an advanced control. Is everypony buckled in?" Blitz asks.

Everypony then sits down in the seats at the front as the ship moves past the moon.

"Minerva, check the restraints for all them." Blitz says.

Minerva smiles as she checks the restraints. "Please put your tray tables and seats in their upright lock positions. We are now taking off." She jokes.

"Minerva, secure your body, we just bought that custom model." Blitz says.

Minerva nods and sits down in a seat next to him before buckling up and then puts her head down as her lights went off. Then a holographic version of her appeared next to him on the other side. "Ready."

"Switching from cruise to drive." Blitz says before the mares felt a lot of force apply to them before it eased off. "There we go, now we are really going." He said as two circles appeared in front of him he places his hooves on it and starts to move it around. The ship then turns and faces the sun as the windows slowly tinted.

"Ok, approaching destination, projected course, and reducing speed." Blitz says.

The mares and fillies watch as he slowly approached the sun and then slowly turns to the side of it. "How long have you been doing this?" Twilight asks.

"Intergalactic or Equestrian time? Oh, by the way girls, welcome to my world." Blitz says.

Twilight looks to him. "Equestrian."

"Twelve years. I have been a part of a crew of a starship. Seven as the captain of Darkstar One. Now if you excuse me, I got one last thing to do with Bloody Mary. Minerva, take over and point the airlock to the sun." Blitz says getting out of his seat.

"Roger that." Minerva says as Blitz flew past the mares because of the low gravity.

The mares watches as he leaves before Twilight unbuckles her straps and flies out of her seat before trying to follow him.

"Rarity?" Rainbow asks.

Rarity looks to her. "Yes?"

"Am I looking at the sun?" Rainbow asks.

Rarity nods. "Yes and I'm shocked as well."

Blitz sighs as he places the urn in the airlock and closes it behind him. "Blitz?"

"Yes, Twilight?" Blitz asks sealing the airlock.

Twilight looks to the urn as he messes with the controls. "Are you okay?"

"Yeah, the nightmare of eight years is finally over." Blitz says hitting the eject button.

They both watch as the urn flies toward the sun. "And what about us?"

"You're evaluating everything that you know?" Blitz asks.

Twilight looks to him. "It's just, all this." She said pointing to the ship and space outside. "What's that going to mean for you?"

"I'm a restless soul, I couldn't stop exploring even if I tried." Blitz says.

Twilight looks back at him. "So…you're going to leave?"

"Duty requires I do as well, but I'm starting to think of Equestria as home and that I asked for a base and not money." Blitz says.

Twilight floats a bit closer. "And us?"

"You want to come with, learn all about other species, planets, and everything the galaxy has to offer?" Blitz asks.

Twilight looks back to the cockpit door. "I…don't know. I don't want to leave my friends."

"They can come too if they want, after all, they now know. Besides, you think you can go back to living as if this didn't happen?" Blitz asks.

Twilight looks back at him as the urn finally reaches the sun and burns in the heat sphere. "No, not after this either." She said before kissing him.

Blitz stiffens at first, but starts to relax. After Twilight stops and leans back, Blitz smirk before saying. "You know, now that I think about it, you are closer to the sun than Celestia has ever been."

Twilight smiles and looks to the sun. "I guess I am." She said and then became silent for a bit. "I want to go with you as long as you're with me."

"Ok Twi." Blitz says letting her lean into him.

Twilight sighs and leans her head into his neck. "I love you Blitz."

"I love you too Twilight, but I wish I could just get my head on straight with these relationships." Blitz says.

Twilight sniffs his scent. "We'll work it. All of us. Just that when we leave, I want all of these problems we got on Equestria to be done before we go. No more worry, no more secrets."

"Ok, but you have got to know you will be with a Mandalorian and all that entails." Blitz says petting her mane.

Twilight nods. "Anything to be with you. I love you Blitz and I wouldn't have it any other way."

"Ok. Minerva, put us on course back to Equine 2. Make the trip back six hours, Equestrian time." Blitz says.

Twilight looks to him. "Six hours? It took less to get here."

"Yeah, gonna show you girls a few things before we get back." Blitz says.

Twilight nods. "Okay, but if we're two, who's one?"

"There is a planet closer to the sun than yours. You can see it now, but it is uninhabited." Blitz says.

Twilight raise an eyebrow as the planet passes by. "So that's what that thing was."

"Yes, it might be uninhabited, but it is rich with resources. The only reason it isn't be mined is because your system is not reached space faring era yet and you will need it when you reach that stage. So the ruling governments of the universe is protecting you." Blitz says.

Twilight sighs. "Let's get back. We have a lot to explain to princess Celestia and Luna. But before that…" She said before kissing him again.

After breaking the kiss, Blitz held her close. "Twi, you can't tell them. In fact, none of you can tell any other creature on Equestria." Blitz says.

Twilight looks to him. "Then won't the princesses question why we might be gone for so long?"

"Luna is suspicious and she might have an idea, but the other two are oblivious to it. It's better this way. This way, they can sleep without worrying if an alien species will invade the planet." Blitz says.

Twilight nods. "I guess that's a good reason. You think everypony else will come?"

"Oh, maybe imagine Rarity's reaction to learning about other species out there." Blitz says.

Twilight giggles. "She probably want learn every single fashion there is."

"Exactly. So what do you think of low gravity?" Blitz asks.

Twilight smirks before making him let go and then turning upside down as she keeps smirking. "What do you think?"

"I think you have just started to get a grip on it." He said as he pushes her and she starts spinning uncontrollably.

Twilight brings up her magic and forces him to get close. Unfortunately, she caught him as she was upside down and they got stuck. Blitz blushes as he held on her flank while Twilight blushes as she held onto his flank. They quickly separated and pushed each other apart. "Sorry!" She yelled before hitting the wall and making her back hurt slightly.

Blitz, being used to this, lands on his hind hooves and pushes forwards lightly, getting next to her. "There is barely any gravity on this setting and the littlest force can send you across the room uncontrollably." Blitz says grabbing her and stopping her.

Twilight quickly grabs onto him as they continue to float. "Blitz?"

"Yeah?" Blitz asks.

Twilight hugs him tighter. "Do you love Applejack?"

"I would be lying if I said no." Blitz says.

Twilight looks to him. "Do you want to be with her?"

"That is part of the emotions I wanted to sort out for myself, but I think I do." Blitz says.

Twilight sighs. "Let's talk to her alone, together."

"She wants me to talk to Fluttershy about this and I'm still afraid of vampires so she wants me to do more sessions with her to get over the fear." Blitz says.

Twilight nods. "You want to talk to her alone or with us?"

"Not sure, but I'll want to talk to Fluttershy about my fear alone." Blitz says.

Twilight sighs. "Okay, we'll leave you alone for your fear. But with us, talk about it when you have it with us."

"If you want to then please convince her. She is almost as stubborn as I am." Blitz says.

Twilight smiles. "Yeah, she's so stubborn that she wanted to take on the whole farm on her own."

"If she was a unicorn and had some good magic powers and that might have been possible." Blitz says.

Twilight giggles. "Yeah, that's what I did once she allowed it."

"Physically one can do so much. That is why half of my success is a result of either my planning or my ability to adapt to most situations. The other is my physical conditioning." Blitz says.

Twilight laughs as she looks him over. "Yeah, I can see that." She said looking down.

"And you saw my ability to plan and my calculations with that Ranchor." Blitz says.

Twilight nods. "I know that, I kept seeing it whenever an explosion happened. But, it was always you who helped us all and changed what we originally thought about ourselves. Besides, you kinda gave me a love life." She said kissing his cheek.

"You could kinda say the same with me." Blitz says.

Twilight kisses him until she pulls back a little. "Just shut up and kiss me." She said before kissing him again. This time, instead of freezing up, Blitz actually kisses her back a little to her surprise. After a while she finally pulls away. "You didn't hesitate."

"I have a good teacher." Blitz says.

Twilight nuzzles his nose a little. "And there's still more to come."

"We will see how I do. It is time for us to go see the rest of the girls." Blitz says.

Twilight smiles and moves aside. "Lead the way."

"Just hang on." Blitz says pushing off a bit. "You know, I used to envy all creatures with wings." Blitz says.

Twilight looks back to her own. "Envy me?"

"When I was a foal. I always looked up at the sky and wanted to soar through them." Blitz says.

Twilight hugs him as they float through the hallway. "Well you beat them in that. You've gotten farther than ever."

"Yeah and this is beyond what any pegasus could do. No resistance at all." Blitz says beginning to spin, slowing down. "This is how I was trained in my acrobatics. If you can do the maneuvers in this you will learn how to never over shoot. After that, you master training enough in gravity, you learn how to not put too little power. If Rainbow trained in this, you should notice a drastic change in her flying." Blitz says.

Twilight looks ahead and sees the door. "Think they would like this life?"

"Maybe not the mandalorian life, but life in space maybe." Blitz says.

Twilight nods. "Yeah, maybe she would like to just travel and race almost everypony in space."

"She would love the Darkstar One. This baby was built originally for speed." Blitz says stopping them.

Twilight hits him lightly. "Show off."

"No, just experienced. You should have seen me for the first three months, I could barely leave a room." Blitz says.

Twilight giggles as he opens the door. "I would love a picture of that." She said before seeing the state of the room and sees everypony flying around, cheering all the while. "Is this too many ponies though?"

"We may need to convert a few storage rooms." Blitz says pushing in and grabbing Applebloom.

Twilight smiles as she turns to him. "Want to tell them or shall I?"

"We will in the living room." Blitz says, Applebloom now attached herself to him.

Applebloom looks to him. "Tell us what?"

"In the living room, cuz. Anypony want help getting there?" Blitz asks.

Rainbow pointed to the fillies just flailing uselessly in the air. Twilight then realized something. "Spike knows and we forgot him!"

"Oh you mean our little stowaway in storage room three?" Minerva asks.

They look to the hologram pony. "Spike snuck on?" Twilight asks.

Minerva just smiles as another door opens and a drone comes in with Spike on Minerva's projection. Blitz whistles. "Terran, bring the one in storage room three to the living room." Blitz calls as he lets Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle grab onto him.

Terran growls as Minerva messes with a screen in front of her and turns the gravity on to a regular planet's gravity. Terran growls before running off and into a hallway. After a while they hear a scream, some things crashing and then cheering. "Catch of the day, Spike the dragon." Scootaloo announced as they came back in with Spike tied up.

"Told all of you, he was really smart." Blitz says. "Ok Minerva, turn on the holoprojector." Blitz says.

Minerva starts messing with her screen as everypony gathers around and Twilight glares at Spike.

"To start off, I got to say none of you can tell any other creatures about this." Blitz starts.

"Whoa, this is a lot to take in." Rainbow Dash says.

"I can't believe you were abducted by space pirates Blitzy." Applejack says.

Blitz nods. "Yeah, that's what happened and took a while before I even saw this place again. I came by once, but never had the courage to come down."

"Kind of hard to do after all this." Pinkie says.

Blitz sighs. "Yeah, when showed everything you can't back away from it."

"I can vouch for that." Dust says already learning most of what was told.

They look to her. "If you were given the chance, would you go back?"

"No." Dust says.

"It's not as if you can't live down there." Blitz says.

Dust nods. "Yeah, not anymore."

"After learning everything, it makes you reevaluate everything. Like for example, all of you have now been closer to the sun than Celestia ever has." Blitz says.

Rainbow grins. "Yeah, that was awesome."

"And we haven't even put Darkstar One under any strain. It's like Rainbow walking in slow motion." Blitz says.

Rainbow glares at him. "Hey! I take offense to that."

"It was a comparison. The Darkstar One was originally made for speed." Blitz says.

Rainbow then grins. "How fast?"

"This baby could go from the sun to the outermost planet in less than an hour Equestrian time. The average space ship does that in four." Blitz says.

Rainbow grins. "Cool. Is there anything faster?"

"You want to find out?" Blitz asks.

Rainbow nods. "Heck yeah!"

"Then you just might." Blitz says.

"I have to go with you, don't I?" Rainbow asks.

"Yeah, but I have decided to make my home here and speaking of which, we have arrived." Blitz says. They all look to the outside and see they are landing on the edge of the Everfree forest. "Just remember, you don't have to come if you don't want too and there will be many adventures as we will keep coming back here."

Rarity looks to everypony before looking back at him. "We'll think about it." She said before heading for the door.

"The offer is always open." Blitz says putting on his clothes over the bandages.

Everypony started to leave as they get use to the natural atmosphere and gravity again. After they left, only Twilight and Applejack remained. Lightning Dust went back to training to give them room.

Blitz sighs as he watches them. "Something wrong?"

"Applejack." Twilight says pushing her forward.

Applejack presses her lips before looking to Blitz. "Blitz, do you love her?"

"Yes, like I love you." Blitz says.

Applejack keeps watching him till she turns around and makes Twilight turn around with her and they started to whisper. Blitz watches as they keep whispering until they both turn back and moves over to him before they both kiss his cheeks.

"Um…well thanks, both of you." Blitz says hugging them both and kisses both on the cheek.

They smile and hug him back. "Don't forget me!" Minerva calls, landing on his back, now back in her body.

"Easy Minerva, still injured." Blitz says.

Minerva nuzzles him. "I know, I'm staying on the points that won't injure you. Now, where's my kiss?"

"Can't turn my head one eighty degrees." Blitz says.

Minerva giggles before giving a kiss on the side of his head. "There, feeling better?"

"Yeah." Blitz says as Twilight wraps her wings around them.

Applejack nuzzles them. "I can't believe this is happening."

"Oh that is right, I still have to go see Fluttershy for the session on vampires." Blitz says.

Twilight looks up at him. "You don't have any problems with us do you?"

"No, I think this will cover it." Blitz says smiling.

The mares then push him to the door. "Then get to Fluttershy, you still need your session." Applejack said.

"See you later tonight Jackie." Blitz says.

Applejack and the other mares wave at him until he leaves and closes the door behind him. "How big is that bed of his?" Applejack asks Minerva.

"Big enough for six ponies to fit comfortably, but he has yet to clean up." Minerva says

Twilight and Applejack smile to each other. "Spike! You got work!" They called before rushing off to his room with Minerva following.

Spike was distracted by the holoprojector as he was browsing different planet gem types. He was then grab from his tail with magic as Twilight pulled him away.

Blitz sighs as he sat on the couch in Fluttershy's house. "So…where do you want to start?" Fluttershy asks.

"I am unsure, where do you think is best?" Blitz asks noticing she went full Flutterbat.

Fluttershy smiles and moves over onto his couch. "How about the physical part first and then work on mental because it'll be easier."

"I…If you say so." Blitz says.

Fluttershy gets real close and pins him down. "Don't fight." She hisses, getting close.

"Y…yes ma'am." He says meekly.

Fluttershy hisses at him before going to his neck. "Looks good." She said before licking it.

"F…Fluttershy, please stop that feels weird. A strangely good kind of weird." Blitz says.

Fluttershy smirks and starts to suckle at his neck. "Beautiful." She said quietly.

"Um…Fluttershy, what are you up to?" Blitz asks.

Fluttershy stops licking his neck and gets up and pulls on him to get up. "Come on." She said pulling him out of the couch.

"F…Fluttershy, are you feeling ok?" Blitz asks.

Fluttershy nods and pulls him up the stairs. "Great." She said as they enter her room and she throws him on the bed before she jumps up and continues to do what she did downstairs.

"Um…Fluttershy, what is the condition of the moon out of curiosity?" Blitz asks.

Fluttershy stops what she's doing and looks at him. "It's just a normal moon. But you were able to keep control and be calm despite me being this close to you and your neck, like you fear."

"Just please tell me it's not red and…no wait, on second thought, don't…" Blitz stopped seeing Fluttershy looking out the window and going eerily quiet.

Blitz looks to the window and sees the moon light red and he looks to Fluttershy who was licking her lips. "I will let you decide, what do you want and it can't be you leaving."

"Um…Fluttershy, how many times have you seen a red moon since you became a vampire pony?" Blitz asks.

Fluttershy sighs as she starts to rub herself against him. "Ten actually."

"And you know you are in heat right now?" Blitz asks.

Fluttershy nods as lifts herself up slightly and shows the spot where she was on him wet. "Why do you think I'm letting you decide?"

"I…I…I…" Blitz says freezing up for the first time to Fluttershy. For the first time Fluttershy had a pony that could be just as shy as her. She just found it adorable.

Fluttershy places a hoof on his cheek. "Blitz?"

"Y…Y…Yes?" He asks.

Fluttershy leans down a bit. "Do you want this?"

"I…I…I…" Blitz could only say that.

Fluttershy sighs and leans onto his chest and just lays there. "You're lucky I went into this before. Otherwise you would be halfway into the bed by now."

Blitz, hearing this, freezes up.

Fluttershy nuzzles his chest. "Can you hold me?"

Blitz says nothing and just wraps his hooves around her.

Fluttershy smiles and nuzzles more into his chest. "You can do this Blitz. You faced Mary and handling more than one mare. You can do this."

"I…I…I…" Blitz started again as Fluttershy read confusion from him.

Fluttershy looks up slightly at him. "Blitz, are you still afraid of her?"

"I…I…I never stopped." Blitz says.

Fluttershy gets close to his face before kissing his nose. "She's gone. You sent her away. The only thing that's meaningful to your life now is your mares. You need to help them and they would help you."

"I…I, wait Fluttershy. Do you have any feelings you're not telling?" Blitz asks.

Fluttershy wraps her hooves around his neck. "I'm trying not to. It would get in the way of this."

"Fluttershy, I can see it in your eyes and your body language. Sorry, I acquired this ability from several years of being a mandalorian." Blitz says.

Fluttershy nuzzles him. "Can I be with you? You can treat me as a friend, a lover or even a slave and I would follow everything you want."

"If you want that, you must talk Twilight and Applejack." Blitz says stroking her mane.

Fluttershy sniffs his scent. "But if you had the choice, what type of me would you want?"

"There is no type, you are you no matter if you look bat like or pegasus." Blitz then starts chuckling. "Oh boy, if you had told me that I would be in a romantic relationship with a vampire pony I would have most likely die of laughter." Blitz says.

Fluttershy giggles a bit. "I meant, friend, lover or slave. Which do you want if you had the choice?"

"I hate slavery Fluttershy." Blitz says.

Fluttershy sighs and moves over to her nightstand and opens the drawer to a few toys before pulling out a dog collar and closing the drawer. "Do you want to try consensually?" She asks, showing the collar.

"Oh, you like roleplaying." Blitz says getting the signs.

Fluttershy nods. "And I like being abused and treated as a slave. I don't know why, but I do. I'm the therapist of the town and even Canterlot and even psychologist themselves come to me for help and advice, but I can't figure out my own problems."

"Oh, you are a very naughty mare." Blitz says.

Fluttershy smiles. "So…if they agree, want to?" She asks showing the collar again.

"We can try I…well, never have…." Blitz start.

Fluttershy sighs. "You had never been in something like this before, have you?" Blitz nods. "Oh, don't worry, I will teach you." Fluttershy says smirking enough to show her fangs. "We can try a bit if you want?" She asks giving him the collar.

Blitz full face blush as he held the collar as it amused Fluttershy so much.

Fluttershy giggles. "Just try it. If you hate it, then remove it." She said pulling her mane back and showing her neck. "The vampire's vulnerable point."

"If you really wan…oh, that is not a good idea. I told Jackie I would be back soon and if I take too long she will come looking and that would hurt your chances badly." Blitz says in realization.

Fluttershy sighs and takes the collar back. "Okay, you best go to her now." She said moving off of him.

"We will try for this next time." Blitz says, his blush still massive and it didn't help when Fluttershy smacks his flank.

Blitz yelps and Fluttershy laughs. "Fluttershy." He whines to her.

Fluttershy only licks her lips. "Sexy stallion, you better get going."

"Y…yes ma'am." Blitz ran off leaving Fluttershy laughing a lot.

Blitz quickly closes the door behind him as quickly as he could. "Jackie? Please tell me Fluttershy didn't bite anypony on the red moon?"

"Um…no, I don't think so." Applejack asks.

Blitz sighs in relief. "Good, now then…where are you guys?" He asks looking around.

"Now I see why you like this thing, it's a lot of fun." Applejack says appearing with a gauntlet on her hoof.

Blitz glares at the weapon. "Put that down and place it back in the shelf. What are you doing in my room anyway?"

"Cleaning mostly." Twilight says coming out of the bathroom.

Blitz looks around the room and finds it mostly clean. "You girls were cleaning my room?"

"Yeah, mostly throwing clothes into the laundry and please let me keep using the shower." Twilight begged.

Blitz sighs. "Alright, just remember that it makes you a puff ball."

"Oh she knows, Minerva already got a picture of it." Applejack says.

Blitz glares at Minerva. "Don't make me get into your A.I. core and delete it."

"Can't, already framed the picture." She says.

Blitz grabs the weapon Applejack had and pulls it off. "Don't make me use this."

"Applejack, shouldn't you take him to your house?" She asks before Applejack's eyes widen and drags him away as the gauntlet fell onto the floor.

Twilight smiles as she watches them leave. "So…got any other photos?"

"You know how you wanted a picture of Blitz when he first trying to learn how to move in low gravity?" Minerva asks.

Twilight nods. "Oh yeah. Considering our experience with it."

"I managed to find some footage of it from the old mandalorian archives." Minerva says.

Blitz sighs as he walks back with Applejack. "Hey Jackie?"

"Yes Blitzy?" Applejack asks.

Blitz stops. "Fluttershy asked something."

"She finally admitted her feelings?" Applejack asks.

"Yep." Blitz says.

"Came onto you because of the red moon." Applejack asks.

"Yep." Blitz says.

"Discovered that side of her?" Applejack asks.

"Yep." Blitz says.

"Did you do it with her?" Applejack asks.

"Nope." Blitz says.

Applejack looks back at him. "What?"

"I…um…a virgin." Blitz says.

Applejack keeps looking at him. "So what did Fluttershy ask?"

"Um…to…um…" Blitz tries to say.

Applejack sighs. "She can join." Applejack says.

Blitz looks to her before sighing. "She has a slave fetish." He said quickly.

"I know." Applejack says, the farm coming into view.

Blitz watches her. "You knew?"

"Yep, the rest of us mares knew about it." Applejack says.

Blitz looks a bit surprised. "So…you won't mind if I did take her as that?"

"Well, better than she going berserk and grabbing a random pony." She says opening the door.

Blitz sighs. "Alright, I'll talk to her about it."

"Ok and come on, it has been a long day. I need rest and you're joining me." Applejack says.

Blitz looks to her. "You mean…?"

"I need my favorite pillow." She said dragging him up the steps.

Blitz looks a bit nervous. "O…okay."

When Applejack got to her room, she tossed him onto the bed before closing the door and climbing onto it. "Feel better after we learnt the secret?" Applejack asks.

Blitz sighs as he wraps his hooves around her. "Yeah, now I feel like there is nothing to hide and eating me alive anymore."

"Good love." Applejack says kissing him.

Blitz breaths in sharply before calming down and kisses her back. After a while, they separated and Applejack sighs and rests her head on his chest. "About Fluttershy, you can have her. We saw only stallions can help her."

"Um…well, she likes both right?" He whispers.

Applejack smiles. "Yes, but when she enters her heat on the red moon, it's only stallions."

"So, good night Jackie." Blitz says.

"You know, it is a little weird. I'm with my cuz." Applejack says.

Blitz sighs and closes his eyes as Applejack follows him. "Don't think about that. Just enjoy." Applejack just tightens her grip around him and falls asleep with him.

Blitz looks to Fluttershy in her bat form as held the collar in his hooves. "Okay, after this, you will need to do what I say and when I say it, right?" He asks.

"Yes and I'm so looking forward to it." Fluttershy says.

"You are going have to guide me through almost everything of this process as this is my first time." Blitz says his blush coming back.

Fluttershy moves her mane and shows her neck. "After you place it on, you have started treating me almost like an animal. Like I'm just here to please you and nothing else."

"O…ok." Blitz says using his magic to move the collar around her neck.

Fluttershy smiles as she feels the collar before looking to him and shows a leash in her hoof. "Hook it on and take me out."

Blitz hesitantly takes the leash before slowly hooking it on her. Fluttershy lightly smiles as he now tugs the leash to make sure it's tight. "O…kay. Come on." He pulls at the leash, but she didn't budge.

Fluttershy sighs. "You have to do it forcefully."

"F…Fluttershy you don't want that, I can literally snap necks when I try." Blitz says concerned for her.

Fluttershy shakes her head. "Just enough to get the point across. A hard enough tug to either get me down or pulled along a little. Not dragging me all the way."

"Ok, let me know if it's too much, ok?" Blitz asks.

Fluttershy nods. "The safe word for all of this is teddy bears. With an s at the end."

"Ok." Blitz says pulling again the force this time was a little unexpected for Fluttershy as it forces her to walk into Blitz. "Let's go." He said trying to hold his rough voice at her.

Fluttershy whimpers as he starts to walk along with her following slightly behind.

They take a stroll through the Everfree forest so nopony would see them. As they walked, Blitz kept looking back to Fluttershy as the moonlight allowed him to see her. "Beautiful." She heard him say.

"Thanks handsome." Fluttershy says in response, getting closer to him. "You would still have to show me around like this one day."

"Ah no, if this was out in public, I don't think I could do it." Blitz says.

Even through the darkness, Fluttershy could see his full face blush and she smiled before rubbing up against him and wrapping a wing around his torso. "You could probably do it one day, maybe not now, but one day." She said nuzzling against his chest.

"I…I don't think so. It would send too many wrong messages to colts and fillies and well…" Blitz starts trailing off.

Fluttershy nods. "I know, maybe somewhere where there isn't many ponies and definitely with the foals around. Maybe around Canterlot at night. There are only guards and a few Canterlot ponies moving about."

"B…but, I ah…um Fluttershy, do you think a foal of your's would inherit this?" Blitz asks trying to change the subject.

Fluttershy looks herself over. "Maybe, why, are you going to hate them?"

"N…no, just wondering. I…I don't want them picked on." Blitz says.

Fluttershy giggles. "If they do, they would have to deal with an angry vampire mother."

"Or a father who likes to use fire and explosives." Blitz says.

Fluttershy smiles. "Thank you for putting up with me."

"I should be saying that to you." Blitz says letting go of the leash and wrapping a hoof around her.

Fluttershy leans into him. "Then you're welcome."

"Come on, let's get back and sorry about that wall again. Is the repair job holding?" Blitz asks.

Fluttershy nods. "Yeah, it's holding up to the weather."

"I hope I did a good enough job with it." Blitz says.

"You know, you are so different from when you don your armor." Fluttershy says.

"You think?" Blitz asks embarrassed.

Fluttershy smiles. "Yeah, it's quite cute. You show your softer side, though it shines through your armor sometimes." Fluttershy says getting on his back and riding him and kissing the back of his neck.

Blitz blushes and picks up the leash before heading back. "T…thanks."

"I'm glad to be able to share you, my stallion." She says wrapping her wings around his chest.

Blitz really blushes at this point. "Yeah, hard to believe I can do that."

"Oh, trust me, you will just love it later." Fluttershy whispers into his ear.

Blitz laughs nervously. "M…M…Maybe."

"Oh, we will make sure of it." Fluttershy says lightly nibbling his ear.

Blitz tries to hold himself together as he continues to walk. "F…F…Fluttershy, don't do that."

"This is just a taste." Fluttershy says nuzzling him.

Blitz stayed blushing. "Let's head back. Did you like this night?"

"Yes. I did." Fluttershy says.

Blitz smiles as they reach her house. "Good." He said placing her down at the door. "I'll see you later."

Fluttershy smiles. "I'm coming along, just so you know. And…" She brings up the leash. "You can keep doing this."

"Ok, I will try another night." Blitz says as Fluttershy hugs him.

Fluttershy sighs as she hugs before she pulls back. "Want me to keep wearing this or only when we need it?" She asks, fiddling with the collar.

"Only when needed, I think you would look cuter with a necklace." Blitz says.

Fluttershy blushes a bit. "Um…thank you."

Blitz smiles before sighing and gives her a kiss before softly letting go. "See you." He said giving a small wave before leaving.

Fluttershy smiles as she waved back. "Bye." She said softly. Fluttershy then closes the down and lays on the couch as Angel comes out of the kitchen with a carrot. "That was amazing." She said to herself, not realizing that Angel was there.

It was the end of the month as Blitz sat at the table in the Darkstar One. "Ok, got everything I need to go to the Griffon Kingdom." Blitz says double checking the gear.

All four mares sat at the table as they watch him packing up his bag. "You sure you got everything?" Twilight asks.

"Yeah, this will be a good learning experience for Dust. There are a few small time bounties still in Equestria and Minerva and Terran will be helping her." Blitz says.

Applejack raises an eyebrow. "You want to have Dust get those guys? Ya sure she's ready?"

"Minerva will pick the targets and she will have Terran watching her back as she hunts. Terran is far more dangerous than anything those small time thieves or thugs can handle if she needs help." Blitz says.

Fluttershy smiles as she fiddles with her leash. "I'll try to make sure that her soon to be many injuries get healed."

"Thanks. It is from those injuries and experience that she will start to grow." Blitz says looking to Minerva.

Minerva shrugs. "I'll start her off easy, but I'll ramp up the difficulty when she least expects it."

"Good, she will need that since she has decided to become a Mandalorian." Blitz says.

Minerva nods. "Yes, she is usually a bit hot headed, but she will soon get the message beat into her."

"Also keep increasing the speed of those moving targets and the obstacle courses gradually, but not enough for her to notice." Blitz says.

"Gotcha." Minerva says.

"Also start looking for ponies, griffons, Zebras, and Minotaurs to hire to staff the base." Blitz says.

Minerva smiles. "Anyone in particular?"

"Ask those who know about our secret and see if they have any suggestions." Blitz says.

"Got it, I will go see Rarity, Dash and Pinkie later." Minerva says as Blitz puts on his blue helmet. "I'll be back in a few months keep an eye on things for me." Blitz says walking down the ramp.

Twilight smiles. "Hope you studied."

"You know I did." Blitz calls before disappearing.

Applejack huffs. "So…want to make some calls?"

"Oh, somepony is mad he didn't kiss her goodbye." Fluttershy says as she twirls her leash around.

Days later, Blitz had boarded a ship after buying a ticket to travel to the Griffon Kingdom by boat. He looks around the ship and sees some ponies, but a lot of griffons on the boat, some with low level bounties. "Child's play."

Blitz leaned against the railing as he watches the sun set until a pony comes up beside him and puked over the side. Looking to the side, Blitz saw a familiar pony. "It's been a few months Daring." Blitz greets.

Daring's ears perked up hearing her name before looking to Blitz. She looked for a few moments as the armor looked familiar. After a few moments, her eyes widened. "Cross?" She asks.

"Glad you recognize me." Blitz says.

Daring looks over his armor. "Wha…what are you doing here or…or…or rather, why are heading to the griffon kingdom?"

"To make some money. I just got a base being built and need bits to buy things for it." Blitz says.

Daring raises an eyebrow. "What about resources to make it? Don't you need materials and all that?"

"Oh, I already cut a deal with the Royals in exchange for a job I can't talk about." Blitz whispers into her ear.

Daring looks a bit impressed. "Wow, so…you like my last book?"

"Yeah, I did noticed a few changes though." Blitz says.

Daring smirks. "Which part did you like?"

"Oh the part where you tricked me into giving the artifact to save me." Blitz says.

Daring giggles. "Yeah, the great climax. So how's your life now?"

"I suppose you have heard." Blitz says.

Daring nods. "Can't believe she is real."

"Was is the better word." Blitz says.

Daring sighs. "You know that they labeled you as dead, right?"

"A fair assessment. If it wasn't for the medical care provided by my team, I would have died." Blitz says.

Daring smiles. "You're okay, right?"

"Maybe a few scars, but that's all." Blitz says.

Daring looks him over. "Can I see them?"

"Maybe later. Too many eyes watching here. So you going to include her in your next book?" Blitz asks.

Daring tilts her head. "Maybe, just need an interview. You willing?"

"Sure, so let me guess, couldn't get a ticket for an airship?" Blitz asks.

Daring chuckles nervously. "No."

"Come on, you can share my cabin." Blitz says.

Daring looks to him a bit surprised. "Really?"

"Yeah, unless you are not done with being seasick just yet." Blitz says.

Daring glares at him. "I'm fine. Let's go."

"Ok, lets." Blitz says leading her away as he smirked.

Daring hits him. "Don't think so badly."

"Not so antisocial once you get to know me, huh?" Blitz asks.

Daring bumps against him. "Shut up."

"Alright." Blitz says opening his cabin door for her. "Mares first." Blitz says.

Daring rolls her eyes before heading inside. "Nice place, but now you. Get out of that." She said as Blitz gets in and closes the door.

"I would make a joke about you wanting me, but you would hurt me for making it." Blitz says lifting off his helmet.

Daring looks on as she sees his face for the first time. "Wow, but the scars?" Blitz's horn lights up as he removes his armor to show three diagonal scars across his chest. "Whoa, that looks bad."

"You can see why they thought I was going to die." Blitz says.

Daring nods and sits down on the bed. "So any other problems you had?"

"Well nothing really worth mentioning, except I'm at my limit. I walked seventy two hours straight to get to the dock and I need some rest." Blitz says getting in bed.

Daring watches as he almost tries to sleep. "Hello, I'm here. Where am I going to sleep?" She said pointing to the room which had no other bed.

"Good point." Blitz says getting off and laying on the floor.

Daring frowns. "Okay that's it." She said before grabbing him and throwing him into the bed and laying down with him after pulling the covers. "Shut up and don't molest me."

"I…I…I…um…" Blitz says, now blushing and trying to form a proper sentence.

Daring hits him. "Just go to sleep." She said taking her hat off.

"Ow…I don't do well with mares so close." Blitz says, the punch jarring things back into place.

"Oh this is just precious. The bad flank that everypony knows is shy." Daring says.

Blitz grimaces. "That's because I never had mares in my life before all this."

"Don't worry, I won't bite." She whispers into his ear.

Blitz looks at her as she smiles. "You're not a vampire…right?"

"No, but I will bite you if you want." Daring says wrapping her wings around him.

Blitz could blush and try to fall into the heated sleep.

Blitz groans as he gets up in his bed and sees it was already empty. "Daring?" He asks, rubbing his eyes.

"Oh, finally awake, huh?" Daring ask putting on her clothes and hat.

Blitz yawns. "Somewhat, why did you treat me like that last night?"

"Last night? You have been asleep for more than a day." Daring says.

Blitz's eyes widen. "What?!" He quickly rushes to the window and sees its night out.

Daring comes up to him. "It's almost time for everypony to go to sleep. Figure I hit the pool, cool off, you know."

"Arg, I hate it when I push my limit, I sleep for days." Blitz says.

Daring looks at him as he keeps staring out the window and she sighs and starts to unbutton her clothes again. "Why don't you hit the hay, I'll see if I can get some food, if you want?"

"After twenty four hours of sleep? Besides, don't you want to be seen walking around with Southern Cross?" Blitz asks grabbing his helmet with his magic.

Daring frowns a bit before pulling him away from the window and presses him against the wall, making him drop his magic. "I'll go, the kingdom is still a few days away and most of the places are now closed. The only thing opened is the casino, bar and dining. I don't think you would be able to eat without taking your helmet off, would you? I'll go alone and get some food anyway."

"Ok, but if you're not back in an hour I'm coming to look for you." Blitz says.

Daring sighs and gets off of him. "So what do you want to eat? They got almost anything." She asks taking her hat off and placing it next to her clothes and his armor.

"I'm not a very picky eater so just grab extra helpings of what you get." Blitz says.

Daring nods and heads for the door. "Okay, just stay here and…check bounties or something. I'll try to be back in thirty minutes. If I don't get hold up at the bar." She finished with a smirk.

"Watch yourself, I already noticed a few on the ship." Blitz says.

Daring waves him off. "Yeah, yeah. I'm sure they're asleep." She said heading out and closing the door behind her.

Blitz sighs and brings the helmet to him and puts it to read over the bounties he saw and those at large in the Griffon kingdom as he waited impatiently for forty five minutes before getting up. "Best go check on her." Blitz says using his magic to quickly put on his armor and heading out the door and towards the bar.

Once he finds the dining room he heads for the bar on the far side and finds Daring sitting there with two plates of food, but the trouble is the two griffons beside her who seems to be chatting her up.

Blitz remains out of their field of vision as he scans each and both griffons had bounties on their heads and then looks around and sees more griffons and strangely, one stallion pony. He then moves in to hear them and sees the griffons grab something from behind him and grabs a shot glass full of a drink and puts a powder into it before mixing it and giving it to her. "A toast, to the greatest adventurer." He calls as Daring smiles and drinks the shot.

Daring immediately starts to sway and the two griffons look to each other before lifting her hooves over their shoulders, with Daring not being able to move much and walking her out to the side of the boat outside as more griffons and the stallion follows.

Blitz quickly gets up and follows them to the door and peeks out to see Daring placed down near the railing while the griffons stand guard around her and the stallion. "Now Daring, why don't you tell me where the eye of Tifus is? I know you brought it with you." Dr. Caballeron says.

Daring sways her head around as she tries to concentrate. "Wha…the eye of Tifus? What the bucking shit is that?"

Dr. Caballeron frowns and nods to the griffons who grabs Daring and lifts her up by her hooves. Another then comes up and takes something out before shoving it underneath her which she yelps out loud. "Where?!"

Daring squirms from the thing inside her. "I don't…ow…what you are talking about?" She said, flailing her legs.

"Don't play games with me Do or I'll use it." He said talking something out of his pocket and hitting something on it which then Daring squirms around. "Now where is i…?" Dr. Caballeron was cut off by one of the griffon's screeching in pain. Turning around he sees nothing but the Griffon holding a smoking wound in its claw.

The griffon falls as he clutches his wound and the others sees the pony in armor behind him. "You know what to do. Claws and hooves where I can see em and get down on the ground." Blitz threats shooting another griffon in the claw to emphasize his point.

"Tha…that can't be Southern Cross." A griffon says as it started to rain onto the deck.

Blitz shoots near the griffons, making them jump. "Do as I say, now or I will collect your dead bounties!" He threatens.

The griffons quickly look to each other before the two griffons holding her, puts her down as she breathes heavily. "Again? It happened again?" She asks herself, lost in her own world.

"Down on the ground." Blitz orders again. "Not you two, move the lady away and set her against the wall over there. If I even suspect you are planning something, I will drop you both." Blitz says.

The two griffons quickly pick up Daring carefully and slowly move her to the wall near him and sets her down and then backs away with their claws raise. Blitz quickly moves to her side not taking his eyes off the griffons and sees that her pupils were widen and her sweating and heat coming from her has increased. "Oh my god. Aphrodite, that's what it was. You, stallion with the stupid look, walk over here." Blitz orders.

"What are you cowards waiting for, there is only one of him." Dr. Caballeron calls.

One of the griffons snort. "Don't you know who that is?"

Another griffon raises his head up slightly. "That's the famous Southern Cross."

The one griffons that was holding Daring tries to calm down. "And not even us griffons would try and get in his way."

"What are you talking about, those stories are all phony and if they are true, think of how many bits he has got." Dr. Caballeron says starting to get their attention before being shot in the hoof.

Dr. Caballeron grunts from pain as he sees his busted hoof. "Want to really try?" Blitz offered.

The griffons who were starting to work up the nerve to try something, instantly felt it slip away as Blitz starting shooting each one with a small pad that material shot out from, completely immobilizing them all. The griffons tried to struggle, but couldn't move.

Blitz looks over to Dr. Caballeron. "Still want to try?"

"Um." Dr. Caballeron didn't get a chance to answer as Blitz picked him up and slammed him against the wall harshly before bringing his hoof under his chin and two claws extended on either side of his head trapping it. "Now I have a third claw in the middle of these two, unless you want to see a demonstration, you will answer every question truthfully got it?!" Blitz yells.

Dr. Caballeron just whimpers.

Blitz huffs. "I'll take that as a yes. First question, Daring you up to asking him anything?" Blitz asks.

Daring breathes in sharply. "He did it." She said, out of focus.

"Ok, she is out of it so I will ask the question, what is the eye of Titus?!" Blitz yells.

Dr. Caballeron went on to explain that it was supposed to be the key to an ancient griffon treasure and he wanted it to sell it off to the highest bidder.

Blitz scoffs. "You make me sick. Second question, you know what, we will continue this when she can answer properly." Blitz says before withdrawing his claws and slamming his helmet into his head and knocking him out.

Blitz sighs and looks to the other griffons as some of them still struggled to get out of their wrappings. "You guys are going to wait here until I can find a way to deal with you. For now…" He looks to Daring who was mumbling to herself before going to her and touches her shoulder which she instantly recoils and looks at him in shock.

"Daring, it's ok. Let's get you back to the room." Blitz says picking her up, as he starts walking, as he drags Dr. Caballeron back to his cabin.

After they make it back, Blitz throws Dr. Caballeron into the room and into a corner while leading Daring to the bed. "You okay?" He asks carefully as Daring slowly sits down.

Daring takes shaky breaths. "He actually did it to me. Why, why now? I never wanted that to happen, not again."

"He didn't Daring. He didn't rape you." Blitz says holding her.

Daring tries to breathe in as she leans into Blitz. "I still feel it."

Blitz reaches down and pulls out the toy, making her gasp. "This is what he used." Blitz says showing her it.

Daring gulps. "I still feel it. It's moving everywhere."

"Nothing is there Daring. They slipped you something. Hold on." Blitz says going to one of the suitcases he brought and opens it. He then closes it when he brought out a small gun like object with a needle on the end and a tube with blue liquid inside. "Daring this will hurt, but it will make you feel better." Blitz says.

Daring stared straight ahead as she feels the cold metal put into her before she feels something cold run into her and the burning started to settle down, but then she held her stomach as most of the pains started to hit her there after Blitz pulled the needle out.

Daring groans as she fell off the bed and started to shake while still keeping a hold on her stomach. After a while, Daring stopped moving and was breathing carefully. "Cross?" She asks shakily.

"Yeah, I'm here Daring." Blitz says.

Daring whimpers a bit. "Can you…get me to the shower?"

"Sure. Also, when he wakes up, we got questions that need to be answered." Blitz says putting the item down and let Daring lean on him.

Daring breathes in carefully as he slowly lead her into the bathroom and places her in the shower. "Go on." He said pulling the shower curtains around it. Daring gulps and turns the shower on and feels the sharp cold water fall on her.

"Let me know if you have to vacate your stomach as sometimes they do as a natural reaction when they first take that medicine." Blitz says.

Daring nods slowly. "Cross?"

"Yes Daring?" Blitz asks.

Daring slowly looks to him. "Can you hold me?"

"Sure." Blitz says removing his armor as the water heats up before stepping in and wrapping his hooves around her.

Daring whimpers and leans against him. "Please…don't let this happen to me again."

"I won't, I swear to you." Blitz says tightening his grip.

Daring puts her head under his head. "Can I stay with you, forever?"

"Yeah, you can. But do you want to give up your life of adventuring?" Blitz asks.

Daring closes her eyes and nuzzles him a bit. "I'm done. I can't go through that again. Not after what started it."

"So you going to take your job teaching seriously now?" Blitz asks getting a shocked look from Daring.

Daring keeps looking at him. "How?" She asks.

"I have a very good way of getting information." Blitz says.

Daring grimaces before sighing. "I can't, after both times so close to it. I can't go through it and I doubt even teaching would give a chance away from that."

"Daring, don't give up what you love. Sit and think on this for a few days." Blitz says petting her mane.

Daring presses her lips together. "Okay, can you stay with me here?"

"Of course, it is my cabin." Blitz says smiling at her.

Daring tries to smile back and nuzzles him again. "Thank you."

"Come on, let's get you to bed." Blitz says turning off the water.

Daring sighs and moves with Blitz as they get out the shower and dry off before heading back in the room and Blitz places Daring down into the bed. "You're going to be okay." Blitz said as he sat near her and petted her head.

"Thanks for being here." Daring says before stealing a kiss.

"O…Ok, I'll just store this one away." Blitz says grabbing his armor with his magic and reequips it.

Daring nods and pulls the covers around her head. "Okay, just come back."

"Don't worry, I will be back soon." Blitz says bringing out a cable and starts tying up Dr. Caballeron before tossing him into the closet and leaving. Blitz went back to the deck and grabbed all the bounties and dragged them to the brig after informing the crew.

Blitz returns to his cabin and finds Daring sleeping as he takes off his armor and puts them next to Daring's clothes on the table. "Huh, after all this, we forgot to eat. Best not to now." He said to himself before getting into the suitcase and bringing out a sleeping serum and puts it into the injector after sterilizing it and injects himself before putting it back in the briefcase and seals it. Blitz then climbs into the bed and let the serum take hold, falling asleep.

Daring moans as opens her eyes and sees Blitz sleeping right next to her. She smiles lightly before getting up a bit and looking around before looking down at herself. "Was it all just a dream?" She asks herself.

"Depends, do you want to know?" Blitz asks her as he opens his eyes and looks up at her.

"Oh Cross, you're awake." Daring says hurrying to get dressed.

"Southern Cross is only my code name. My real name is Apple Blitzkrieg." Blitz says.

Daring looks to him. "Apple Blitzkrieg?"

"Yeah, don't know my original family name if I had one. I was adopted later." Blitz says.

Daring nods. "What did you say before, something about do I want to remember?"

"Do you want to remember what happened last night?" Blitz asks.

Daring nods. "What's the point of forgetting if you can't learn from it?"

"Well the scum in the closet slipped you a drug that, I think, caused you to go right into heat and tried to make you talk by then putting a vibrator into you." Blitz says.

Daring's eyes widen before she glares. "Where is he?"

"In the closet, I tied him up and dragged him back here to answer some questions when you felt up to it. But before we start, let me get dressed." Blitz says starting.

Daring sighs and looks to the closest. "Anything else, like what he asked me?"

"What is the eye of Tifus Daring?" Blitz asks donning his armor.

Daring sighs. "It's the key to finding the staff of Tifus. You know him?" Daring asks.

"Yeah, studied a few things in preparation of coming to this place. What exactly is the history though?" Blitz asks.

Daring looks to him. "Well, history told of a great mage that led a rebellion against the Unicornious Empire and brought it down five thousand years ago. Texts say that he used to staff to help bring it down and lead his army through it all. The staff held a power that not even the unicorns themselves can do and is able to decimate an entire area."

"Hum, that part about it helping him lead his army was interesting, exact meaning?" Blitz asks.

"None left for future generations to find." Daring says.

Blitz sighs. "Want to talk to him now?"

Daring leans her ear against the closest and hears something interesting. "I'm thinking room service." She said with a grin.

"Ok, let me get him in a talking mood." Blitz says opening the door and roughly grabbing and throwing him out.

Daring smiles as she looks to Blitz. "You know, he was torturing me with something a mare would either hate or love and boy did I hate it."

"Now where were we, oh yes." Blitz says before bringing his hoof under his chin and two claws extended on either side of his head trapping it. "Now I have a third claw in the middle of these two, unless you want to see a demonstration, you will answer every question truthfully. Sound familiar?" Blitz asks.

Daring holds up a hoof. "Wait Cross, listen." She said as everything quiets down and then they hear a rumbling sound. They both follow the sound sees it's the doctor's stomach. Daring grins as she looks to Blitz. "What do you say we eat first before really putting the screws to him?"

"Or I could gut him like a pig, I'm sure the griffon's won't notice a difference on the buffet." Blitz says.

Daring shakes her head and pulls Blitz's head away for a bit. "He tortured me, I'm going to do the same to him, male style, no food while hungry and we eat." She whispered.

"Ever heard of good guard, bad guard?" Blitz whispers back.

Daring smirks. "And if he wants it, just talk."

"That's good, keep coming to him like that. I'll continue like I am, he will talk then." Blitz whispers back before turning back to the doctor. "So tell me scum, would you rather want it quick and painless?" Blitz asks before bringing out the other claws in his other forehooves armor. "Or slow and extremely painful?" Blitz asks.

Daring sighs as she picks up the phone. "Yes, room service. Me and my friend here need two of the chief's special, a lava crunch cake, some vegetable pizza, two of them, deep dish, a bowl of salad, and…Cross do you want anything?" She calls to him.

"Nah, I'm good right now." Blitz says bringing his claws close to the doctor's throat.

Daring turns back to the phone. "And maybe some ice cream." She pauses. "Chocolate and fudge with the condiments to go with them with all the rest of the order." She listens to the other end. "Okay, thanks. Yeah, room 113." She turns back to Blitz and the doctor after hanging up. "It'll be here in about ten minutes."

"So tell me, who do you want to talk to me or the good professor?" Blitz asks digging a claw very shallow into the doctor's uninjured forehoof.

The doctor groans as he tries to keep it together.

"I take groans as the latter, are you sure you want that?" Blitz asks digging it in a little deeper.

The doctor groans a little louder as this went on for the whole ten minutes before a knock came to the door and Blitz moved the doctor into the bathroom and out of sight. Daring goes to the door and opens it to a servant with a large cart. "Thank you." She said pulling the cart in and tipping him a few bits. "We'll handle the rest." She said before closing the door.

Daring smirks as she sets up the trays and bowls on the table while Blitz came back out. "Leave him there in the middle and let him see." She said taking a seat. "Come on, time to eat."

"You got five minutes, he doesn't start talking, and I'm going to start using the ancient ways of torture on him." Blitz says leaving, claws withdrawn.

Daring sighs as she sees the doctor eyeing the food and his stomach growling. She grins and starts to open everything. "Let's see. What to start?" She asks herself, eyeing the many food on the table

Blitz looks at his clock and sees the timer ending and was about to go inside again until Daring came out with a big smile. "Got him and he was already talking about one minute in. Come on in." She said pulling him inside.

Blitz steps inside with her and sees the doctor still on the ground. Daring walks past him and kicks him. "Keep going now." She said before going back to the table and starts to eat on the many food still there.

Blitz goes to his briefcase and unseals it and starts looking through them till he grabs a red one and sanitizers the injector.

Daring looks to him with pizza still connected to her mouth. "What's that for?" She asked with her mouth full.

"Oh just a little something in case it's needed. So that's everything you want to know?" Blitz asks putting in the red chemical.

Daring swallows the piece of food. "Unless you have questions."

"How did you know she was going to be on this boat since she bought her ticket last minute and who told you she had it?" Blitz asks.

The doctor groans as he eyes the food. "My employer and the dock workers saw her get on. Now give me the food!"

Daring smiles and takes another bite. "What do you think Cross, should we?" She asks swallowing the piece.

"One last question, who hired you?" Blitz asks.

The doctor tried hopping his way now. "It was some brown unicorn mare with a blue mane. Now give me!" He yelled hopping to her.

"Is that all we will get out of him?" Blitz asks walking up behind him.

Daring eats again. "I guess."

Hearing that, Blitz forcibly held him in place as he gave him the shot. The doctor struggled for a moment before falling unconscious. "The drug I gave him should keep him unconscious for the rest of the trip and should erase the last five days from his memory." Blitz says taking it out and starts sterilizing it.

Daring smiles as he packs his case away and gets out of his armor. "Want to eat now?" She asked, holding out a pizza piece.

"Yes, if you're serving." Blitz jokes.

Daring smirks. "Want me to get the whipped cream and start spraying it on myself?"

"Why Daring, I didn't know you were so forward." Blitz jokes removing his helmet.

Daring blinks and gets confused. "I'm not. I'm never this forward."

Blitz gets confused as well. "You sure?"

Daring nods. "Yeah, I'm never like that. I barely do the food things."

Blitz thinks for a few before going to his case and taking out the antitoxin. "Let's see…" She watches him for a few before he starts shaking. "Oh shit."

"What?" Daring asks.

"It has an ingredient that I doubt would be good. If I had to think about it, you're stuck with the heat poison…forever. I locked you with the poison. The only good news is that it's lessened and you're more in control. But that's my best guess. Unless…no, not an option." Blitz says.

Daring looks at him. "What?"

"Daring, at the end of this endeavor in the griffon kingdom, I will tell you of a possible way to get that poison out of you permanently, but you might have to give up something in return." Blitz says.

Daring listens to what he said and finally sighs after a while. "Okay, but what will it be? What do I have to give up?"

"I can't say, only at the end. Until then, we will stay together." Blitz says.

Daring groans. "Great. You know you have to deal a lusty me?"

"You can control it, it just dulled it to ten percent more heat than usual." Blitz says.

Daring sighs. "Think you can handle it if I fall into it?"

"I think I can." Blitz says.

Daring nods. "Okay, I'll try to control it, but you won't tell until this is over?"

"To quote my cousin Big Mac. Nope." Blitz says giving his best impression.

Daring leans back in her seat. "Want to eat?"

"Yeah." Blitz says sitting down with her before giving a small kiss to her cheek. "It'll be okay." Daring smiles before giving him soft punch to his shoulder. "Ow. I'm trying to be helpful here." He said holding his shoulder.

"And that was for being sappy." Daring says her tongue sticking out playfully.

Blitz only responded by putting ice cream on her.

Twilight sighs as she swipes one last time and looks over the room. "There, all clean."

"So you finally ready to renovating this storage room into a bedroom?" Minerva asks.

Twilight nods. "Yep, just need to grab some stuff from my place not furnishing, but some equipment and some books."

"Oh, didn't I show you yet?" Minerva asks.

Twilight looks to her. "Show what?"

"Darkstar One's data archive stations." Minerva says.

Twilight gasp. "I don't have to bring books. But…" She looks down. "I like the feel of a real book once in a while."

"Then bring your favorites, if you want to read up on anything else just use this." Minerva says as a data pad was hoofed to her by Minerva.

Twilight smiles. "Thanks, I wonder how Applejack and Fluttershy is taking it."

Minerva smiles. "I'm sure they are fine." She said before leaving and heading to Applejack's room which was the old greenhouse room. "Find the plants and placement alright?" She asks walk in.

Applejack kept looking at a small tree as she looked at the growing fruit that looked like a cross between an apple and an orange seeming like she was trying to understand what it was. Minerva smiles as she steps up to her. "Wondering?"

"You have explained it to me three times, yet I'm still having trouble coming to terms with this thing actually existing." Applejack says.

Minerva pats her back. "I'm sure you will get used to it. Your family is okay with this, right?"

"Um, only Applebloom knows about this." Applejack says.

Minerva sighs. "I meant with your cover of leaving for a long time?"

"Oh yeah, princess Twilight requested me to come on a long journey with her. Sound reasonable?" Applejack asks.

Minerva nods. "Good, I'm going to check on Fluttershy. You keep planting and planning." She said heading to a room close to Blitz's. "Fluttershy, you find everything okay?" She called inside.

Fluttershy smiles as she looks over the equipment. "Oh yeah." She said looking at the cage about her size.

Minerva smiles as Fluttershy moves around the equipment stricken room. "Well I made plenty of orders from Canterlot and made sure they were top notch. You got your cage, your stocks, hanging and wooden, your spreader bar for your whole body, some BDSM tools for mares, and of course a pet's bed."

"You think I went a bit overboard?" Fluttershy asks as the items disappeared as the walls flipped.

Minerva shakes her head as just a regular bed and a desk and some shelves were placed from the walls finishing their flip. "No, he's going to love this, one day of course. Now, can I pull you around?"

Fluttershy frowns. "No, Blitz is my master and he is the only one who can."

"Oh, I wish I could have full nerve endings like you so I could join in." Minerva says.

Fluttershy sighs. "You do have what you need for being with him, right? You know…" She asks, touching the ends of her hooves together.

Minerva nods. "Oh yeah, got the utilities for it, but it is not as functional as yours." She said tapping her flank.

"Oh right, you're made of metal. I keep forgetting." Fluttershy says.

Minerva smiles. "That's good. If you forget I'm a robot then that means I'm doing a good job."

"I guess so. So I figured out your Miva, so what did the goal come to that Blitz went to the Griffon kingdom to make?" Fluttershy asks.

Minerva nods. "He went there to make money for the base."

"Are you going to tell me the goal?" Fluttershy asks.

Minerva grins. "I don't know, he doesn't tell me everything."

"He told you to give him an estimate on the price." Fluttershy says.

Minerva sighs. "We need around fifty thousand bits."

"How long do you think that will take?" Fluttershy asks.

Minerva shrugs. "Don't know, it depends on what they would offer and he could probably sell the materials if he doesn't need it. If he finds some materials we need it could save us some bits."

"Ok." Fluttershy says.

"So, going to get Twilight and Applejack to join in later?" Minerva asks.

Fluttershy smiles. "They're my friends, how could I not."

"So what you going to use on Twilight?" Minerva asks smiling.

Fluttershy shakes her head. "No, they going to use me."

"Oh, but don't you want to let them experience it? I mean you are friends after all." Minerva says.

Fluttershy smiles. "Maybe next time, they have to learn being masters first before they can understand being submissive."

"And you have to teach Blitzy." Minerva says quickly into her ear.

"And I have to teach Blitzy, but it won't be for a while since he's gone." Fluttershy says. "Wait a minute." She says glaring at Minerva.

Minerva nods ignoring the glare. "Yeah, it's always more fun with a male, especially if you're into this and want to be bruised and battered."

"Oh where is Terran?" Fluttershy asks.

Minerva smiles. "Oh he is with Lightning Dust hunting a bounty. Why, you want him to join and mess with you?"

Fluttershy hits her, making a clang sound. "Actually…" She looks to Minerva closely. "What's he like?"

"Who?" Minerva asks.

Fluttershy looks outside before looking back at her. "Terran, how's his tool down there?"

"Oh, you don't want that, the Varren mating can be deadly, besides don't you want your master?" Minerva asks.

Fluttershy tilts her head. "Terran is also my master in a sense, because I'm lower than him. Now how is it dangerous?"

"Biting, lots of it and body part sometimes fly round and that's with other Varren." Minerva says.

Fluttershy nods. "Okay, there's no way to hold it off?"

"No and don't you want to be unspoiled for Blitzy?" Minerva whispers.

Fluttershy blushes. "Yeah, I just wish he was here now."

"Don't worry, he is off working to get money to pay for things for you." Minerva says.

Fluttershy blushes heavily and look to the wall. "Did I overdo it? Spent too much?"

"Oh no. Um…establishing a base is kinda like starting a business and he is also helping sponsoring rebuilding the town as well. Which reminds me, Spitfire, Fleetfoot, and Shadow Runner have a thing for him." Minerva says.

Fluttershy looks a little surprised. "Really, you think they would try to join?"

"Maybe, I don't know." Minerva says giving a cheshire cat smile.

"You are starting to remind me of my roommate." Fluttershy says.

Minerva grins. "Who's that?"

"Speaking of which, were was he, we could have used his help with Bloody Mary." Fluttershy says.

Minerva scratches her head. "Who are you talking about?"

"Discord!" Fluttershy yells.

Meanwhile in Los Pegasus.

Discord was in a high stakes blackjack game with King Sombra and Queen Chrysalis while smoking a cigar. He smirks and looks to Sombra who moves the bikini mares' cards to fit the look of the numbers. He then looks to Chrysalis as she throws the cards she had away.

Discord chuckles and then places his cards down. "Blackjack boy. I win." He called to Sombra who throws his cards at him and he gets a surprisingly queen card of Luna in a two piece black bikini in his goethe.

Discord was about to collect his winnings when he stopped and had Darth Vader's clothes appear on him. "I sense a disturbance in the force." Discord says and made mechanical breathing noises.

Both the rulers look to him. "Flutterbat?" They ask.

"Flutterbat." He says, now dressed like Alucard.

"Why haven't you stopped her?" Chrysalis asks in a foreign accent, dressed like Integra Fairbrook.

"Indeed." Sombra says dressed like Walter.

"Hah, she's a very scary creature. I'm even scared of her especially with that stare of hers. Here." He said giving Sombra a block device. "The song is Back in Black by AC/DC. Now let's go." He said snapping his fingers and sending them off, leaving a weeping stallion at the table from being near three of the strongest villains.

Fluttershy stands in her room as she talks with Twilight and Applejack with Minerva as they try to think of ways to punish Discord.

"Well the last thing we want is for him to get near our stallion." Twilight says.

Fluttershy snorts. "Don't worry, I'll make sure he doesn't."

"Wha…what you mean you forgot the song?" A voice outside the door said catching their attention. "Ok…okay, you know what, screw it, just screw it. Just take my phone and hit random. No, I don't care if I turned you into a penguin, just hit random. Okay, three, two…"

The sliding door bursts open like a double door was and Discord was standing there with Chrysalis and a penguin that reminds them of Sombra for some reason.

Alushy - Nightmare Night [SFM]

Discord turns to the penguin. "Now, okay, turn it off, turn it off." To which the penguin responded by hitting his head on the white device he was holding and turns the music off. "It didn't work." He then takes off the circular, heavily tinted, wire-framed orange sunglasses with goggle sidings. "It did not work."

"Following your example." Chrysalis quipped as she wore a business suit with a red bow tie.

"Oh caddy." Discord said to her.

"Discord what are you doing on the Darkstar One?" Twilight asks.

Discord throws his glasses to her. "Fluttershy called me."

"What have we here, some sort of new magical device?" Chrysalis asks causing Minerva start to barely hold back her laughter.

"Brilliant, just brilliant. The entrance, the music, the dialogue. Epic. Thank goodness I recorded that in almost ten different angles." Minerva said as she laughs rolling across the ground.

The Sombra penguin started making quaking noises. "No, this ship is one hundred percent metal." Discord says.

Chrysalis looks around and knocks on the walls. "Not bad, I might really like this sort of place."

Discord goes wide eye and turns to her with the most scared look on his face. "You must never live in a place like this, never, ever, ever. It will spawn the greatest hunters, with no eyes, a complete exoskeleton that makes them look like they have anorexia and a very sharp tail that can pierce through anything while having a fish bone as their tail body. And they will hunt others down to their deaths."

"Twi?" Applejack asks.

Twilight just shows her a comic book she confiscated from Spike and shows her the creature he described fighting a guard. "Xenomorph is what they're called. Come to think of it, Chrysalis and her hive is like that."

Sombra penguin starts making more noises and Fluttershy gives him the STARE! Discord immediately shrinks down to a size of a puppy as she gets close to him and Sombra as they both hug each other.

Chapter 1 (Part 11): The Wire's Snapped

"Good to be back on the Darkline. Don't you think Ahsoka?" Blitz asks.

Ahsoka smirks. "Only because you can have me alone with you."

"Yeah, Ridley is busy and none of the other officers are here. Which is why we got to blow off some steam." Blitz says as Ahsoka fixed her outfit. "So you appreciate that filling up your rear?"

Ahsoka hums as she looks herself over. "I have been thinking of how we should marry." She said fixing out the wrinkles.

"Oh, your thoughts?" Blitz asks smirking.

Ahsoka smirks. "Yeah, I already got markings. No one would notice a tattoo ring or maybe a tattoo on the whole hand."

"Just hide it among other tattoos for your people and then when it's all over, I will slide a ring on that finger of your hand." Blitz says.

Ahsoka smiles. "Sure. Just make sure that I'm always having a good place among your family. It seems that others won't hold me in that regard at times. Your mother seems to still have some questions about me."

"About what exactly?" Blitz asks.

Ahsoka shrugs. "No idea. She just gives me the feeling that she is quite questionable with me. Is she always like that?"

"With the girls, at first. You should have seen the stink eye she gave Twilight for the first few days after meeting her and finding out she was my wife." Blitz says.

Ahsoka smiles. "Like a good mother." She said looking back to him.

"So you ready for this?" Blitz asks.

Ahsoka sighs. "Well, you keep doing what you do and I'll do mine. Just don't mix the magic and force powers again."

"Ok, so you know the plan, right? While master Plo and Luminara attack the land base targets and master Fisto attacks the ocean targets, we will attack their shipyards and cripple them." Blitz says now holding her.

Ahsoka smiles. "Yeah, just be sure to keep hitting them from behind and I'll keep up the pressure."

"So you going to tell me what the republic decided to either capture or destroy the ship yards or do I have to coax it out of you?" Blitz asks.

Ahsoka rolls her eyes. "Down boy. They want to capture it. Thinking it might be a good staging area."

"Ok." Blitz says laying his head in the crook of her neck.

Ahsoka smiles and leans her head on his. "Love you Blitz."

"Love you too Ahsoka Read." Blitz says.

Ahsoka giggles as she just pats his head. "Still need to work on that name. But maybe later."

Blitz smiles. "Nope. You married me so unless you want it to be Ahsoka Tano Read than no." Blitz says.

Ahsoka sighs. "We'll think about it. For now, work calls."

Blitz sighs. "Fine. Let's go." He said letting her go and getting dressed as Ahsoka headed out. "Also, your skirt is stuck up and showing yourself."

Ahsoka eeps and pulls her skirt down and glares to the smirking Blitz. "Shut up." She said blushing and rushing off now.

Blitz only chuckles. "And that's my wife."

Blazer smiles as he walks around town after doing today's chores. "Mommy, that is everything right?" Blazer asks.

Applejack nods and looks to the many things and bags they have on their backs. "Yep, now we can head home. By the way, did you hear about Diamond turning over a new leaf?" She asks smirking.

"Yeah, I did." Blazer says as Surgere kept her eyes on him.

Applejack grins. "You going to ask her out?"

"I know not what you speak of." Blazer says as Surgere waits for the right moment to pounce.

Applejack chuckles. "Yeah, right. Just go ahead. She's fine now. Or would you rather be a chivalrous griffon?"

"I…" Before Blazer could finish, Surgere pounced onto him.

Applejack laughs as Surgere was actually overpowering Blazer and trying him up with a little rope.

"Ah, you two playing?" Applejack asks.

Blazer groans as he tries to get Surgere off of him. "Get her off of me."

"Come here sweetie." Applejack says getting her daughter.

Blazer sighs in relief as Surgere laughs in Applejack's hooves. "Finally. Don't let her do that again." He said cutting away at the rest of the ropes with his claws.

"Come on, don't you love your little sister?" Applejack asks holding her up to his beak and Surgere grabs it.

Blazer frowns as Surgere laughs and pulls at his beak at times. "Sis, cut that out."

Surgere smiles before kissing the top of his beak.

Blazer stops and blushes before trying to get her off. "Sis."

"Aw, she loves her big brother." Applejack says before taking her back and putting her on her back.

Blazer sighs in relief as he wipes his beak before blinking for a bit and turns his head and smirks. "Hey mom, can I stay out a while longer in town?"

"Not much longer. Remember, Lightning is going to teach you today." Applejack says petting her son's head.

Blazer looks up to her pleadingly. "Aw come on mom."

"You know Lightning doesn't have much time in between taking care of Onyx and her job." Applejack reminds.

Blazer sighs. "Fine."

"Ok, don't keep your stepmother waiting." Applejack says before walking off with Surgere.

Blazer smiles. "Thanks mom." He said before getting up and running off and takes a look around before heading down an alley.

Applejack raises an eyebrow. "Huh, maybe he saw the Diamond filly."

He in fact did not. Blazer smiles as he sees a group of colts around a circle with spray cans. "Boys, do I got a proposition for you." He said smirking.

"Huh?" One of them asks.

Blazer nods. "How would you like to work with me? Forgot about tagging and pranks. How about things more fun?"

"What's more fun?" A bored one asks.

Blazer hums. "Going around. Giving guards and troops the slip. Maybe watch them bumble around. Plus, we can hear things that might be worthwhile to us. Who knows, we can have home in multiple places at once. And it would be all ours. Even Canterlot, Manehattan. Anywhere can gain a hoofhold."

"The guy has a big head." One whispers to another.

Blazer shrugs. "All right. Fine. Spend your days just getting in trouble with tagging and pickpocketing. I'll be getting higher than you though. Or…" He stops and looks to them. "We can get to know each other and maybe we can be the best of friends with even bigger ideas."

"Oh, what the heck. I'm bored anyways." One says.

Another shrugs. "I am getting bored of using my mom's allowance for spray cans." He said picking up a spray can.

"Alright we'll hang with you but we have to head home for lunch." One says.

Blazer nods. "Fine by me. See you later." He said walking away.

After he got home, he saw Lightning waiting with Arcane and Azure. "I see you finally show up." She says.

Blazer chuckles nervously. "Sorry. Saw something interesting. Turns out to be nothing."

"Well then get your pack. We are going camping." Lightning says.

Blazer blinks. "Camping?"

"Yes, now come on." Lightning says.

Blazer still blinks as Arcane and Azure pack their things. "Hey, where's Sunshine?"

"She knows what I am going to teach and as such on a higher level than you three." Lightning says.

Blazer sighs as he starts packing his bag. "Alright. Where are we going?"

"That is a surprise." Lightning says getting up and leading them.

Blazer groans and steps besides Arcane and Azure. "So…anything she's told you other than these?" He asks them.

"She said we would be gone all weekend." Arcane says.

"I miss dad." Azure says.

Blazer sighs. "How long until dad get back?" He asks Lightning.

"Your father is away fighting a campaign, so I can't say." Lightning says her tone gentler now.

Blazer groans. "Man."

"Come here you three." Lightning says picking them up.

They all blink as Lightning hugs them. "Um…" Arcane tries to say.

"I am also one of you mothers and I care about all three of you." Lightning says.

They all stare at her before smiling. "Thanks mom." Azure said.

"No problem. Now your father is fighting with all of his might out there to keep you safe you three. So even if he isn't here, he is thinking of you all." Lightning says.

Blazer smiles. "Yeah, figure he might be."

"Now come on you three. This will be fun." Lightning says.

"And with that, we have more than three fourths of the shipyards under our control." Blitz says after blasting the last droid in the control room.

Ahsoka smiles as a droid was running around with no arms. "Good. This might be good for us and to repair and rearm our ships."

"Yeah, also we now have the support of three-eighths of the governing people. Who knew they would support us especially being so divided." Blitz says.

Ahsoka hums. "Maybe they just want a better work life."

"Or maybe they are that divided in their government. Either way, by doing this, we have cut off one of the Separatists critical shipyards. I just hope the others are faring as well." Blitz says.

Ahsoka stares at him. "You sure they can hold up?"

"I sent our zoid and armor divisions to Luminara and sent a few squads of amphibious zoids to aid Master Fisto. The Separatists are not the only ones with heavy amphibious weapons anymore." Blitz says.

Ahsoka smiles. "Not bad. Though we can check around if you want."

"You are right. All you units, finish securing the shipyard and find a place for us to set up and launch our fighter jets." Blitz says into his communicator.

"Sir." He heard back,

"Now then." Blitz says taking a seat at the console.

Ahsoka leans on the seat over him. "What do we got?"

"I am stealing all of their plans, blueprints, and everything from the computer system for our own use." Blitz says.

Ahsoka hums. "I see. Then let's see who the contracts are connected to this place. They do outsource a lot in shipyards."

"Exactly…Ahsoka, we have something." Blitz says.

Ahsoka hums as she leans in to the screen. "What is it?"

"Take a look." Blitz says bringing up a video showing a fallen jedi getting off a transport at the shipyards.

Ahsoka frowns. "Where is this guy?"

"Records don't show him leaving the planet. Or coming back to the shipyards. I need some troops to secure the brown ship in hangar 5." Blitz says the last part into the communicator.

Ahsoka sighs. "May I?"

"Go ahead. See what you can find." Blitz says.

Ahsoka nods and runs off. "I'll be back."

After she was far enough away, Blitz got up and ignited his darksaber. "I know you are there." Blitz says.

A crate was moved. "Not bad. Better than the kid." A voice said nearby.

"I knew from the start. Just wanted her out of harm's way." Blitz says taking a darker tone.

"Heh, should have kept her for backup." The voice said again.

"You underestimate me. So Dooku figured out our target huh and sent you to try and kill the leadership correct?" Blitz asks.

"More or less." It said.

"You are well train, but I am better trained." Blitz says before turning around and shooting force lightning.

Blitz saw the movement and slowly walks out into the open. "Not enough." He calls.

"Oh?" Blitz says before unleashing his flamethrower on his gauntlet into a large arc.

"So burn the place down!" He calls and jumps through a window.

"You foal." Blitz says aiming a rocket on his gauntlet at the fire that caught onto him and fires.

"Idiot." He heard him mumble and sees the rocket fly into another direction and it explodes a bit afterward.

"Oh you're not the run of mill I see." Blitz says before engaging his cloak and activating his thermal sensors in his helmet.

Blitz stealthily followed Dooku's assassin on a chase throughout the shipyard, both trying to wait for the other to make a mistake.

Eventually Blitz takes a deep breath and stands in the middle of a supposedly empty chamber with his eyes closed and deactivates his stealth unit.

"And just what are you doing?" He hears the voice echo through the room.

Blitz didn't answer and lets his senses extend outwards as he grips his dark saber close.

"You know, it's stupid sometimes to stand in the middle of a room." The voice said again.

"Or is it stupid to suddenly jump at your opponent?" Blitz asks suddenly throwing his darksaber which was now ignited to the left into the air as it stayed guided by the force until it impaled something.

"Wha…what the…" He hears and looks over to see a dark cloaked person impaled on his darksaber still stuck in the air.

"Your overconfidence was your downfall." Blitz says as gravity took effect on the fallen jedi.

The fallen Jedi groans as he fell onto the metal flooring below the many walkways. "Damn you."

Blitz didn't even approach and uses the force to bring his darksaber to himself.

Blitz hums as he looks over the darksaber. "No blood. Good. I hate cleaning." He said to himself as he turns it off and just walks away.

"Chief." Some mandalorians call rushing up.

"Deal with that one and bring me his lightsaber." Blitz instructs.

The Mandalorians rush off as Blitz sighs. "Okay, that should be all…mostly." He said to himself as he checks out his datapad. "Ahsoka, can you hear me?" Blitz asks over his communicator as he looks through the datapad as he heard two blaster shot indicating they were checking if he was dead.

"Yeah, I can't find this guy. Can you see him?" Ahsoka asks.

"Yeah, he's dead." Blitz says.

Ahsoka was silent for a bit. "You are such a mood killer, you know that, right?"

"You still like me." Blitz says.

Ahsoka huffs. "Open channel."

"I know. Reconvene at where we decided to make our base of operations." Blitz says getting the lightsaber he was brought before switching to the secure channel. "So what did you find in the ship?" Blitz asks.

"Basic things. A few war things. Some robots. Basically one who is going to war needs." She said.

"No instructions or anything?" Blitz asks.

Ahsoka hums. "Not really. Guess it's a read and destroy."

"I see, so we can only assume what his orders were, but he was alone. Also, remind me to thank Plo Koon what he taught me. Won the battle for me." Blitz says.

Ahsoka chuckles. "Sure. Just be sure to have proof."

"You want us to bring the corpse?" Blitz asks.

"No, just his saber. That is proof enough." She said.

"I already have it. The guy was good at stealth though." Blitz says.

"Makes you wonder what he was using if any." She said in a questioning tone.

"Who knows, but we can bag and tag him now." Blitz says.

Ahsoka sighs. "I'll check back at the campsite. You can meet me there if you want."

"Already on my way." Blitz says.

"General, severely bad news." A droid says to Grievous.

Grievous looks to it with a glare. "What?"

"Yag'Dhul is under attack. The first fleet that was stationed there has already been destroyed." The droid says.

Grievous growls. "What?!" Grievous yells.

"General, we must fall back now or risk being isolated in between the Republic forces." A tactical droid advised.

Grievous huffs. "Let's go."

"Acknowledged, all remaining ships, retreat." The tactical droid says and soon the eleven separatist ships started to turn to retreat.

"Generals, Grievous's fleet, they are on the move." A clone reports.

Obi-wan smiles a bit. "Good, stay alert just in case."

"Master, what do you think this means?" Anakin asks.

Obi-wan hums. "Maybe he knows this place is a lost cause and will get another spot and make it more fortified."

"So that means that they have made good progress on Yag'Dhul then." Anakin says.

Obi-wan nods. "Has to be if it has him running."

"I hope those frigates have their cannons prepared and picks off a few of Grievous' ships as they go by." Anakin says.

Obi-wan waves him off. "They would always be prepared. It seems that's the motto with them. Unlike you Anakin."

Anakin huffs before saying, "Let's get back to work. With Grievous gone, we can make some good progress."

Obi-wan nods. "Yes, let us head for the ships left behind and take them out."

"To the planet." Anakin says.

A few months later, Blitz was onboard the Darkline when he received the report that Anakin and Obi-wan finished up Renillis and with that, the shipyards of Wroona remained unconquered in the inner rim area they were assigned to.

"And with that, the campaign is complete and our victory." Blitz says.

Ahsoka smiles. "So you ready to head to another?"

"Yeah, our fleet is being rotated out for a rest. Another fleet will take our place and proceed to Wroona and the alliance will try and push further into Separatist space." Blitz says.

Ahsoka chuckles. "Shall we head back then?"

Blitz paused for a moment. "…no, let's go to Myrkr." Blitz says.

Ahsoka stares at him confused. "Why there?"

"I…don't know. I think the force is telling me to go there." Blitz says.

Ahsoka keeps watching him. "So you want to go?"

"I think I should. You mind coming?" Blitz asks.

Ahsoka smiles gently. "Someone has to watch your flank."

"You would watch it anyways." Blitz jokes.

Ahsoka smirks. "Like you watch my ass?"

"Yeah." Blitz says going to the Darkstar One.

Ahsoka rolls her eyes. "You know that I'm supposed to be in front."

"So you mind just staying on the Darkstar One?" Blitz asks.

Ahsoka shrugs. "Yeah, I won't mind."

"Thanks. Darkline, this is Darkstar heading out now." Blitz says the latter over the communications.

Ahsoka hums as she watches him. "So what do you have planned once you get back?"

"Before or after the swarm?" Blitz asks.

Ahsoka raises an eyebrow. "Swarm?"

"The foals." Blitz says.

Ahsoka smiles. "After then."

"Before or after you see Twi about turning you into a pony?" Blitz asks.

Ahsoka hums. "Maybe a bit before and change along the way."

"Knowing mom, she will want to spend time with me." Blitz says.

Ahsoka smirks. "Or maybe hug you all day while saying 'my baby.' Over and over." She mimics.

"She can do that, I won't deny." Blitz says before going into hyperspace and gets up leaving the ship on autopilot.

Ahsoka smiles as she relaxes in her seat. "Question, what are we going to do in our spare time until we reach Myrkr?"

Blitz says nothing before getting in her lap in pony form.

Ahsoka raises an eyebrow and looks down to him. "You want to be petted?"

Blitz hums as he leans against her. "Yeah, pet away my wife."

Ahsoka didn't start petting, but kissed his head.

Blitz smiles as he looks to her. "I love you my beautiful wife." Blitz says leaning against her.

Ahsoka smiles and hugs him. "Yeah, me too. How long until we reach the planet?"

"A few days. Darkstar One can really book it. If we were going with the fleet, it might be a month." Blitz says.

Ahsoka smiles and hugs him tighter. "Then let's make sure that you get the most time out of your break."

"Ok, head to my room?" Blitz asks.

"Sure." Ahsoka says getting up with Blitz in her arms.

Blitz chuckles as he leans against her. "Such a good pillow."

"Ok, now change when we get into your room." Ahsoka instructs.

Blitz just grins as they enter his room.

"So Ahsoka, you find the latest sith as interesting as Imperius?" Blitz asks.

Ahsoka nods. "Yeah, this one is an enigma in what we usually think."

"Kind of reminds me of a noble knight from Alderaan's history and tales." Blitz says.

Ahsoka hums. "Going to ask him for an autograph?"

"Hard thing to do." Blitz says bringing up an image of him and Imperius standing together. "Unless you have a time machine you are not telling me about." Blitz jokes.

Ahsoka chuckles. "Maybe your wife?"

"Farthest she can travel back is a week and only for a few moments." Blitz says.

Ahsoka raises an eyebrow. "She went back one time?"

"Yeah, she told me about it when I asked why she never tried it again. She started getting stressed out going over what could go wrong like causing her parents never to meet, never going to Celestia's school for the gifted, ect as she unconsciously flew up till she hit the ceiling." Blitz said.

Ahsoka kept an eyebrow raised. "Really?"

"Yes, was quite adorable." Blitz says chuckling.

Ahsoka smiles. "When do you hope to go back?"

"After this. The force is guiding me here for some purpose. For what, I do not know just yet." Blitz says.

Ahsoka smiles. "Well maybe I can help you."

"You promised you would stay on the ship remember?" Blitz asks.

Ahsoka sighs. "Alright, I will stay on the ship, but you better not keep your wife waiting too long." Ahsoka warns.

Blitz smirks and kisses her. "I will try. Also, I found something interesting in the communication archives when searching for the Emperor's wrath and master Timmns. Want me to read it?" Blitz offers.

Ahsoka leans to him. "Sure. What is it?"

Blitz clear his throat before reading. "The subject is called 'A welcomed alliance'. I have had much to consider since our alliance on Belsavis. Darth Ekkage is one matter but a Jedi cooperating with a Sith is unprecedented. When I told the Jedi Council of our partnership, they couldn't believe it. For hours they debated, wondering how the Sith who hunted Jaesa Wilsaam could show such restraint. Confusion and prejudice clouds their minds. Your actions gave me hope. Though it may be decades before another Sith and Jedi join hands, I will ensure that our alliance serves as an example for all students of the Jedi Academy." Blitz reads.

Ahsoka stops and looks to him. "Okay, the Sith side is really surprising me."

"And it is members like this that make the jedi worthwhile." Blitz says.

Ahsoka raises an eyebrow. "I thought you hated them."

"I hate the arrogance, the holier than thou attitude, the refusing to admit a mistake, and the not considering what your actions will bring to others part." Blitz says.

Ahsoka stops and looks to him while moving away a bit. "So…?"

"I love you my wife and first love. You gave me a little hope that the jedi are not all bad." Blitz says closing the distance.

Ahsoka looks at the distance between them. "So what are you going do?"

"Oh, I don't know." Blitz says slowly running his fingers up her arm. "Maybe raise kids with you."

Ahsoka stares at him. "Blitz."

"Yes?" Blitz asks leaning onto her.

Ahsoka pushes him back with a finger. "Blitz." She said almost annoyed.

"I love you Ahsoka Read." Blitz says.

Ahsoka stares at him before sighing. "Fine, do what you want." She said letting him go.

"Ahsoka, something is bothering you. I don't need the force to sense it." Blitz says.

Ahsoka shakes her head. "Nothing is wrong."

"Ahsoka…you're scared of being a mother aren't you?" Blitz asks.

Ahsoka sighs and looks away slightly. "Blitz…if I do have kids and marry you, I'm placing our lives and future lives in danger because of it. They would come after us."

"No, the jedi won't if we feign you watching over us and I have this feeling I cannot shake it, but the galaxy will change dramatically in a decade or two." Blitz says.

Ahsoka hums. "Maybe, but they will find out soon."

"Ahsoka, I must ask, every time I think about the future, I have a bad feeling, do you get the same?" Blitz asks.

Ahsoka looks to him and shakes her head. "Not by much." Blitz looks worried now, a sign that doesn't escape Ahsoka's notice. "Are you okay?"

"Ahsoka, is there a jedi technique that can allow you to sense what I sense?" Blitz asks unsure.

Ahsoka hummed as she thought. "Maybe…master Plo taught me a technique long ago, but I never fully mastered it." Ahsoka says.

"Then can we try?" Blitz asks.

Ahsoka looks to him carefully. "I don't want to risk it without fully learning it."

"Then…can you ask master Plo to meet us here in secret?" Blitz asks.

Ahsoka sighs. "I'll try." She said bringing up her communicator.

After a few moments Master Plo answered. "Ahsoka is there something wrong?" Plo asks.

"Master Plo, can you possibly meet me and Blitz alone at these coordinates?" Ahsoka asks.

"Just me a bit of time and I'll be there." He said before cutting the line.

"Well on the bright side, this will give us a few more days to study and enjoy the view." Blitz says.

Ahsoka raises an eyebrow. "What view?"

Blitz lowered the shielding on the front view port for Ahsoka to see the sun starting to peek out from behind the planet Myrkr.

Ahsoka smiles as she watches the view. "Wow. Not bad a view." She said leaning close to the window.

"And we have a lot of time to enjoy." Blitz says sneaking a kiss.

Ahsoka blushes as she backs away a bit. "Cut that out."

"Only if you ask me seriously as my wife." Blitz says.

A few days later, a small jedi starfighter docked with the Darkstar one.

Ahsoka yawns as she drinks some coffee. "What's going on?"

"Master Plo has arrived." Blitz says the airlock opens and Plo enters.

Plo hums as he looks to Ahsoka drinking away. "Long night studying and training?"

"Yeah, did you know, that in the last hyperspace war, jedi master Timmns and the second Emperor's wrath had an unofficial alliance and were friends?" Ahsoka asks.

Plo shakes his head. "Did not know that. Good to know. What happened to them?"

"Records are vague. I am still researching, but I have yet to find an answer, but master there is a reason I asked you out here alone in secret." Ahsoka says.

Plo hums. "I would think it is either top secret with vital information or something that would send everyone into a panic."

"Yes…Blitz has told me he keeps sensing something, but he cannot understand it." Ahsoka admits.

Plo nods. "And you want me to help understand it?"

"I remember you trying to teach me a technique years ago that allows one to be able to share the ability to sense with another. I was hoping you could use the technique and help us get a better understanding." Ahsoka says.

Plo hums. "I'll see what I can do. Where is he?" Noticing him absent.

"Meditating in preparation…" Ahsoka says stopping.

"Is there something wrong?" Plo asks.

"Master Blitz has told me that he has a feeling the galaxy will dramatically change in the next ten years or so. That troubles me a bit." Ahsoka says.

"A lot can hang in even a few seconds or a moment." Plo said.

"I know, but the way the war is going it might mean something bad is happening." Ahsoka says.

Plo sighs. "Well…there have some reports of good and bad force users being able to tell even something at the end of their life. This might be shocking if I am able to connect well."

"I won't keep you any longer master." Ahsoka says letting him enter the room.

Blitz cracks an eye open from his meditating position as he laid down on the ground as a pony. "Ah, good. Shall we begin?" He asks getting comfortable.

"One moment, it takes a few seconds to start the technique." Plo says sitting in front of him.

Blitz hums as he closes his eyes again and makes sure to open up his connection to the force.

"Ok, now try and sense." Plo says managing to connect. Blitz breathes in deeply and starts and he and Plo start feeling a dark presence in the galaxy.

"This is the feeling I have been getting. Though it is getting a bit stronger at this point." Blitz said focusing on the feeling.

"T…that's the dark side." Plo says. 'How could the council be blind to this?' Plo thinks.

Blitz hums. "The feeling of things whizzing about me is also coming to mind. Can't make it out."

"Can you pinpoint the source of this dark side energy? Focus on feeling the source." Plo says.

"I…I see Coruscant." Blitz says after a long pause.

Plo groans. "Great. Now what else can you decipher from this?"

"Nothing, it is like something is blocking me. I only saw Coruscant for a moment." Blitz says.

Plo nods and cuts the link. "I think we should give this a break. We can figure out more later."

"I see. I will go then. I have put this off long enough." Blitz says transforming into his humanoid form.

Plo seems to have an eyebrow raised. "Every time I see that, still surprises me."

"Ahsoka, looks like you will have company while I head down onto the planet." Blitz says going to the cockpit.

Ahsoka hums as she still tries to drink. "Okay, have fun."

Blitz gets up once they were a safe distance to jump from and programs the computer to take the ship back into space. Blitz then walked to the ramp and jumps out towards the surface without his armor.

Plo tries to follow his movements. "He will be all right, right?"

"I think so. The force called him here." Ahsoka says.

Plo points out the window. "I meant him jumping out."

"Me and Master Skywalker do it all the time. The trick is to use force push to slow your descent." Ahsoka says.

Plo hums. "Does he know that?"

"Oh yeah, I taught him how." Ahsoka says.

Plo kept an eyebrow raised at her as the ship moves away from the area.

Blitz observes the land from a tree. He breathed in deep and kept sharp, knowing the creatures of this world were force sensitive and many were predators.

Blitz groans as he tries to keep above ground. "Isn't there a planet where it's almost happy go lucky instead of kill la kill…oh wait." He said to himself as he realized that his planet was one.

"Now…hello little guy." Blitz says spying a furry lizard like creature next to him on the tree. The creature croaks slowly as it slowly turns its head at him. Blitz hums as he holds his arm out near the branch it was resting on and it slowly moves over to his arm and rests on it before croaking again.

"I think the foals will like you." Blitz says before setting him into a pocket to where he was comfortable and sticking his head out.

The creature croaks again as it looks around its new spot before sticking its head into his pocket and comes back out with a bar of chocolate and starts chewing on the wrapped up bar.

"You eat up little guy." Blitz says before starting to meditate to try and figure out where to go.

The creature croaks as it claws at the wrapper and tears it apart as it starts chewing away and looks to him while eating.

Blitz kept trying to sense where he was supposed to go when he felt something incredibly faint, but there. A dark side presence.

The creature croaks curiously as it looks to him and stops eating for a bit.

"That it?" Blitz asks himself.

The creature coos as it drops the candy and slides out of his pocket and onto his shoulder.

Blitz starts hopping from tree to tree going in that direction.

The creature shrieks as it struggles to stay on before it crawls back into his pocket and starts eating again.

For the next few days, Blitz walked in that direction, searching for the presence that had concealed itself.

"Where are you?" He asks himself as the creature was on his head and eating his tenth and last candy bar.

"Having a good time little guy?" Blitz asks.

The creature croaks and looks to him mid bite.

Blitz scratches his head with a finger.

The creature coos and purrs slightly.

"Oh goody, a dark dank cave. I am sure nothing evil is in there." Blitz says sarcastically as he senses the dark side from it.

The creature croaks before grabbing the candy bar in its mouth and crawls out and climbs onto a branch before eating there.

"Not coming?" Blitz asks.

The creatures look to him and croaks before chewing into the bar again.

Blitz sighs before entering. "Oh goody, it's even more dank than I first thought." Blitz says hearing the water drops in the dark.

Blitz kept walking for a while before stopping. "Hold on…I have passed this root before." Blitz says looking at the root.

"And I haven't made a tur…oh well played, but too passive." Blitz call before sending force lightning everywhere he could manage. Soon the air shimmered and an illusion was undone, revealing a new path paved with carved stone. "I see, so this is a tomb." Blitz says.

"Well, also a lab, but who's bragging?" A voice said.

"And you are?" Blitz asks letting his sith training shine through via his eyes.

A tall, thin, and armored ring came out of the darkness into whatever light there was for him to see such a plain clothed individual. "Ah good. A Sith. That makes things ten times easier. Well…ten and fourteen hundredths times better. Nice to finally meet a fellow Sith." He said inclining his head.

"Your name now!" Blitz orders the way Imperius taught him to when addressing potentially hostile sith.

The bring chuckles a bit darkly. "You want to know? Well my name is Terrak Morrhage. Pleasure to meet you."

"I know you. You are the sith who tried to infect the jedi order twice with a plague that allowed you to syphon those you infected with force power. You were last seen over three millennia ago when you were defeated by the jedi who would become the Barsen'thor of the jedi in the second great hyperspace war." Blitz says.

Terrak hums. "Not bad of an history lesson. Still need work on details. So I guess you would be willing to find out what I am doing?"

"You were last seen declaring you would take vengeance on the Barsen'thor, but all your words were empty threats." Blitz says.

Terrak chuckles. "Yes, but I'm here now. Why would I be here now?"

"The answer is simple, the only thing that drives you is revenge and hatred for the jedi. You are preparing to make a third attempt." Blitz says glaring.

Terrak darkly chuckles. "I must commend you. Great. Now can you figure out how?" He asks walking away into the dark again.

"And that is a problem." Blitz says.

"Then you are an idiot." He said finally in the darkness.

"No, you should know that we sith don't like it when others interfere in our business." Blitz says igniting his lightsaber.

"Try and find me." Terrak said in the darkness and in the distance.

"I also know you can't execute your plan without a host you parasite." Blitz says.

"Who you calling parasite? I just merely make them. Why do I get called that?" Terrak's voice ponders to himself as if he didn't hear the first half.

"Because you can't do anything without a host and from feeding off other's strength. A parasite is all you can be called." Blitz says.

"Yes. That is true. Though the host thing? I have to simply find a better way to get it into others. And even then I need a synthesized form to work." Terrak said as Blitz tries to find him in the dark.

"You're talkative for a dead man." Blitz says.

"No, just being an exposition expert." He replied.

"No, you're trying to lead me into a trap." Blitz says stopping.

"Unless you are stepping on one." He told.

"Oh?" Blitz asks before stabbing the ground and something roared in pain.

Terrak pokes his head out of the darkness. "Oh, that wasn't it."

"Oh your attempt to bluff is amusing." Blitz says.

Terrak chuckles. "No, I mean that trap." He said pointing to something right beside Blitz.

Blitz eyes went wide and he let loose a strong force push, sending something skidding.

The thing growled and slowly stomped out with a scraping of its claws as it devilish looks at Blitz and salivates at the sight. "Have fun." Terrak said before going into the darkness again.

"Great, a Terentatek." Blitz says taking a stance.

The Terentatek growls lowly before roaring at Blitz and then charges at him, indenting to smash Blitz into a wall. Blitz, seeing this, runs towards the wall behind him and jumps off it and lands behind the Terentatek as it hits the wall. The Terentatek roars and quickly spins around and tries to swipe at him with its claws.

Blitz jumps back to get distance and tries to stay just outside the creature of the dark side's reach.

The creature growls and charges him again as it claws the walls and tries to get close to him.

Blitz on the other hand was keeping his distance and trying to keep rock or part of the cave in between them, trying to tire the monster out, knowing in a straight up fight as he was now, he wouldn't win. He knew his only chance at winning was to wear the thing down before committing himself.

The creatures growls heavily as it turns towards and then roars out loud, trying the intimidation tactic.

Blitz, seeing this, decided to retaliate and gathered the force to himself before releasing a force scream, hitting the beast with dark side energy.

The creature stops and growls questionably.

Blitz, seeing this, does a saber throw technique. His lightsaber slicing the top of the beast's left leg as it passed by it before returning to him.

The creature roars as the strike barely leaves a scorch mark. The creature rush Blitz again and Blitz barely jumps over it in time to avoid it.

"Ok, let's see, ah, there." Blitz says spying an old wound in its back.

The creature growls as it bends down to prepare to charge and seems to give a glare.

"Is this all you can muster Terrak, a half dead beast that can't even fight properly." Blitz mocks.

The creature growls loudly as it outlining scars and blood seem to light up before charging straight at him.

Blitz, seeing this, starts shooting force lightning right into the wound, making it roar in pain. "And I thought you were a threat." Blitz mocks.

The creature roars louder in his direction and grabs a loose rock before throwing it.

"After all, what can a failure like you accomplish." Blitz mocks before a cry of anger was heard and Terrak appeared again.

"You think I am a failure, a weakling, I will show you!" Terrak roared before flying at then into the Terentatek. The Terentatek roared in pain and slammed around the cave before saying. "Now let us see who is powerless."

Blitz frowns. "You are making your own demise!"

"Oh really?" Terrak roared.

"Yeah, because I made a friend here." Blitz says when the Ysalamiri from earlier showed itself.

Terrak growls at it as it squeaks and seems to pass something over them before nothing else happened. "You are a fool." Terrak growls.

"Oh no. How can you survive without the force?" Blitz asks reading his lightsaber.

Terrak just shows his claws. "With these." He said sharpening them against each other.

"But what about without that body?" Blitz asks before charging and jumps over the claw swipes before ramming the lightsaber into the wound and starts moving it around inside the beast. Terrak roars and tries to grab him and rip him to shreds, but his arms were too short and bulky to reach before the body starts slowing down fast and Terrak could feel it's life fading.

Terrak huffs. "You are not bad, but there are more to come."

"No, this is the end. Try and leave that body now." Blitz dares.

Terrak growls with the creature, but soon it grew into confusion. "What?!"

"We are in a force nullified bubble, a place where a force ghost can't exist. When it dies you will be ejected into this space." Blitz says.

"No!" Terrak yelled.

"That is right. Your time is over and now I end your threat forever." Blitz says before starting to stab the beast until it no longer moves.

Blitz sighs as he jumps off of it and the Ysalamiri drops the bubble.

"Thanks my friend." Blitz says laying out a hand for it.

The Ysalamiri croaks at him as it landed.

"I will take you away from the predators if you wish." Blitz offers turning back to his pony form.

The Ysalamiri croaks again and jumps onto his head.

Blitz smiles, leaving the corpse behind and starts looking around and stops when he hears a whistle. Blitz to where it is coming from and follows it to find a black crystal. "So this is your way of rewarding me huh. Very well, I thank you." Blitz says before using the force to take the crystal. "Time to go little guy." Blitz says.

The Ysalamiri croaks as it lays down on his head.

"Thanks for picking me up." Blitz says as they leave the planet's atmosphere.

Ahsoka shrugs. "Anything for a friend. Besides, this ship, not our style."

"Yeah, thanks master Plo for keeping Ahsoka company." Blitz thanks.

Plo waves him off. "Still like family."

"I'm sorry the council is calling you back master. I had hoped you could see Blitz's hope world." Ahsoka says.

Plo shrugs. "Maybe one day. Just not now."

"Farewell master." Ahsoka says as Plo leaves to get into his ship.

Blitz sighs as he programs the Darkstar to return home and goes to sit by Ahsoka. "So…what do you want to do?"

"Tell me what happened beside your little friend here." Ahsoka says.

Blitz smiles and shows the crystal. "Yes, it's a black one. Kinda make sense since I am a mystery at times. I could go one way or the other and still I would be fighting for both."

"And what also happened down there?" Ahsoka asks.

"Well it started with…" Blitz starts as they enter hyperspace.

Twilight yawns as she paces around, having just woken up and waiting for the coffee machine to finish.

"Mommy, when's daddy coming home?" Arcane asks.

"Soon sweetie." Twilight says ruffling his mane to his amusement and soon the communicator starts ringing.

Arcane gasps. "Daddy?"

"Let's see…" Twilight says checking and smiles and nods to her son.

Arcane cheers and jumps onto the counter and tries to peek into her view.

"Hey honey." Twilight says.

"Hey love, guess who is on their way home?" Blitz says.

Twilight sighs in relief as she tries to keep her eyes open before Arcane moves into view. "She's been helping out mommy Vinyl. I have a new brother!" He cheered.

"Oh?" Blitz asks smiling.

Twilight snorts awake. "Wha…what? Oh right, Vinyl. Yeah, she gave birth to a little unicorn colt with a white coat and black mane." Twilight says.

"She have a name yet?" Blitz asks.

Twilight yawns. "His name is Juko Light. Cute huh?"

"Oh that is adorable. So how is everyone there?" Blitz asks.

Twilight shrugs. "Same old, same old." She yawns. "Arcane, take over." She said yawning. "Coffee." She said letting Arcane have it and heads toward the coffee maker.

Arcane smiles and leans in again. "Everything is normal really. Nothing bad has happen too."

"I see and how are you Arcane? Does father have to come and tickle you?" Blitz jokes.

Arcane blushes. "Dad!" He said embarrassed. "Don't do that."

"That's my job and his mother." Terra said appearing behind him.

"Turn the camera and let me see her." Blitz says smirking.

Arcane smiles and turns the communicator to Twilight as she sleepily tries to make coffee.

"Oh that is cute." Blitz says smirking.

Terra giggles. "Look at her. This is what being queen, princess, diplomat, and mother will do to you."

"Or a mother." Blitz reminds Terra.

Terra sighs. "I think it's time to visit mother's famous last spot. I think you know which."

"Yeah, I will come along as well." Blitz says.

Terra smiles and holds Arcane. "So…how much longer till you get here?"

"We will be exiting hyperspace soon. After that, it will be a short flight to the castle so you, yes, you Terra, round up the girls for me. Your father in law insists." Blitz says jokingly.

Terra rolls her eyes and winks. "Sure. Bye honey and watch over mommy." She said the last part to Arcane before flying off.

"Oh Arcane, I got a few surprises for you and the others when I get home." Blitz says.

"Tell me, tell me, tell me." Arcane kept repeating.

"Nuh uh, you have to wait for it like the rest of your siblings, speaking of which, Pinkie, Sunshine." Blitz greets.

They both appear on top of the screen. "Yes?" They both ask.

"Preparing breakfast for everyone you two silly fillies?" Blitz asks.

Pinkie hums. "Well…Twilight is tired as heavy and we need to make food for everypony now."

"I'm coming home in a few hours so prepare some for me." Blitz says.

Pinkie salutes and goes back as Sunshine stays. "Hi dad." She said waving.

"Hey Shine, you getting along with your big brother?" Blitz asks.

Sunshine giggles and hugs Arcane's head. "Yeppers."

"And what about your other siblings and mothers?" Blitz asks.

Sunshine nods happily. "Yep. So happy."

"I see. Look out, Arcane is about to tickle you." Blitz jokingly warns.

Arcane cheers as he grabs Sunshine and starts tickling her.

"Oh, that is so cute." Twilight says drinking coffee.

Blitz smiles. "I see you're wide awake now."

"Not entirely." Twilight says as a changeling brought in Aether.

Aether coos as the sight of Arcane and Sunshine playing around and clasps her hooves.

"Oh hey there Aether. You just wake up?" Twilight asks.

Aether laughs and holds out her hooves.

"Oh ok, mommy got you." Twilight says taking her.

Aether smiles and nuzzles her as she hugs her.

"I'll be home soon. You behave yourselves, ok?" Blitz asks.

They all laugh as they play with each other as the changeling shrugs to him.

Blitz nods before cutting the connection.

"Oh this is precious." Blitz says quietly as he walks into Vinyl's room where she was sleeping with a bundle.

E. Vinyl sighs. "Yeah, she hasn't left the little guy's side." She whispered.

"Oh and what about you miss expecting?" Blitz jokes.

E. Vinyl smiles and leans onto him. "Doing fine. Ready for a birth?"

"Oh, are you now?" Blitz asks before kissing her cheek before he sneaks closer to Vinyl.

E. Vinyl shakes her head. "No, but I'll be waiting in the infirmary until I do."

"Hey V." Blitz says quietly touching her.

Vinyl's ear twitches before opening her eyes and looking around and lands on Blitz. "Blitzy. You made it back." She said tiredly.

"Yeah." Blitz says before kissing her nose.

Vinyl sighs and holds out her hoof for him to grab. "I missed you."

"I missed you as well. So how is our little Ice and Juko?" Blitz asks.

Vinyl sighs and lifts her other hoof to let him see both Ice and Juko sleeping beside each other.

"Oh, look who is a great mother." Blitz says.

Vinyl sighs and tries to rest again. "Now…let me…"

Blitz kisses her cheek and brings the covers around them. Blitz smiles and walks out now and sees E. Vinyl walking away. "Make sure you drink plenty of fluids." He calls after closing the door.

"Will do and look forward to you in bed again." E. Vinyl says before turning on her headphones.

Blitz sighs as he walks around the castle. "Nice to see this place again."

"Nice to see you too." Rainbow says landing on his back.

Blitz chuckles and looks to her. "You miss me?"

"Oh yeah and we are coming at you one at a time to not overwhelm you." Rainbow says.

Blitz smirks and gets her off his back and places her on the ground before kissing her cheek. "It's good to see you girls."

"You know it." Rainbow says shaking her flank at him as she walked away.

Blitz grins as he keeps watching. "Oh yeah, still a sexy flank." He said walking down the hall again. "Next."

"That is me." Spitfire says walking around a corner.

Blitz sighs. "Where's our little boy?"

"Da?" A little voice asks.

Blitz smiles and looks over her shoulder to see Sunrise on her back. "Hey there little Sunrise. You've been good for mommy?"

"Ye." Sunrise says.

Spitfire chuckles. "Still a momma's boy."

"Why wouldn't he be?" Blitz asks.

Spitfire smiles and nuzzles him. "I have to go. Don't worry, you'll see us all in one place again." She said giving him a kiss on the cheek before walking away.

"I will see you soon my son." Blitz says before nuzzling Sunrise.

Sunrise giggles and nuzzles back. "Ba ba."

Spitfire smiles as she walks away with Sunrise.

"Ok, who is next?" Blitz asks.

"Dad, it's time." He hears.

"Oh?" Blitz asks following the voice.

Terra smiles as she waits right by a bag and resting on a couch. "Hi dad." She said as he came into the room.

"Ok, I met with everyone else already. You told Twi you need me for a bit right?" Blitz asks.

Terra nods and floats over to him. "Yeah, she understands."

"I have got to tell her one of these days about Hurricane." Blitz says.

Terra smiles softly and hugs him. "She was so amazing."

"Yeah." Blitz says before Terra teleports them away.

Terra sniffs as they appear in front of a boulder on a mountainside. "She always came here, hoping to see you again."

Blitz, hearing this, just takes a seat.

Terra keeps sniffing as she starts to cry. "She always took me and soon my husband here, to let us know who our father was. I never get why she kept visiting a cave camp…until I met you. Then I realized why. You were exactly as she described. Strong, faithful, family stallion, always there to protect. She wanted us to know that you were the greatest thing to happen to her." She said now fully crying as she sat down herself. "Mommy."

Blitz just let silent tears of his own fall to the ground as he mourned.

Terra cries as she falls flat to the ground crying. "Mommy."

Blitz puts a hoof on her shoulder and waits till she was ready as he cried his own tears.

"You two." They hear. "Always trying to cry your own way."

They both quickly look up and see somepony they never though they would see. "Mom…mom…" Terra tries to say as she kept crying.

Hurricane smiles and puts her hooves on both their shoulders. "You're both good ponies and I love you both very much."

"Hurricane." Blitz asks.

Hurricane keeps smiling as she turns to him. "Time traveler. Ghost spirit my flank."

"Was the best I could come up with." Blitz jokes as he still lets the tears fall.

Hurricane chuckles as she turns to Terra who has her mouth covered by her hooves at the sight of her. "You've grown. Became the pony you were always meant to be."

Blitz reaches out to hold her.

Hurricane shakes her head as she steps back. "No, I'm not like her. I'm just a simple pegasus who won a coin toss."

"No, you're not. You are Hurricane, a pony I love and the mother of my son." Blitz says his eyes tearing up again.

Hurricane smiles. "Yeah and apparently grandmother to some high ranking princesses." She said smirking slightly.

"Hurricane." Blitz says starting to break down.

Hurricane smiles truthfully as she turns to him now. "I love you Blitzkrieg and I'll never forget it. You have changed my life, set me right on my ways, and made our land soar. And I couldn't have done it without you. You are the greatest thing to happen to me and when I had our son come into the family…I knew I had to tell him too."

"No, I am not. I left you when I should have stayed." Blitz says unable to even look at her.

Hurricane chuckles. "How could you? You were forced back. I know the hooves of time and space won't allow to stay, but I always remember the times we had. In that short time, I had come to remember you fondly."

"I don't deserve kind words. I lied, manipulated, and used you." Blitz says.

Hurricane smirks. "Used or allowed?"

"It was using. I took advantage of you." Blitz continue to belittle himself.

Terra sniffs. "Daddy?" She asks softly.

"I don't even deserve to get to see you again." Blitz says.

Hurricane lifts his head up and makes him turn to her. "Does this feel wrong?" She asks before slowly wrapping her hooves around him and he feels her slightly go through him. A ghost. "I can feel your pain. Leaving me wounded you greatly and you hide your pain so others won't be affected."

Terra sniffs as she tries to regain control of herself. "Mommy, daddy?"

"I can't forgive myself. Not for everything I have done or will knowingly do. I am a disgrace to our kind. I can only kill. Anything I do, I leave bodies in my wake." Blitz says.

Hurricane smiles and makes his head turn to Terra. "You made her a husband. With me."

"And still I know not all survived in the lands and I also killed those windigos and the worst part is, I can't come to regret those whose lives I took." Blitz says.

Hurricane sighs. "Death happens. It will happen anyway. We have no choice at times. Those windigos, they were born out of hatred and melted out of kindness and friendship. But the lives at your hooves…" She gains a serious tone at the end as he clenches himself for any blow. "I know not what they did, nor what they would have done. I just know that you stopped them. If you did it, you have a good reason."

"How can you be so sure?" Blitz asks.

Hurricane smiles. "I don't. I just know that with your heart, you have been through a lot and know what has to be done. You actually turn us against each other at the meeting, but not to cause mischief, but to end it and get on ahead because of the coming storm. Our nights, I never regret them one single bit. Your time with me, it showed me you have the greatest heart I have ever met in my life. And I'm proud to call you my husband."

Blitz couldn't say anything as he just broke down.

Hurricane smiles gently and pats his back, even though she kept going through him. "I miss you Blitzkrieg and I don't regret any second of it for you have not only changed your life or mine, but everyone and whether it must be for the good or bad, you always have that special place in your heart to make it good for everyone."

"You always were an angel to me." Blitz says.

Terra sniffs as she tries to hold back her unstoppable tears. "Mommy. I'm sorry." She cries as she didn't look at her.

Hurricane shakes her head. "You don't need to be sorry. My son is not your fault. It's nopony. He's like his father, making sure everything is alright with the world and beyond." She said looking at the crying Blitz.

Terra sniffs. "That still doesn't excuse it. I'm a poor daughter to you."

Hurricane smiles gently and opens her other leg to her. "Come here."

Terra sniffs as she drags herself over to Blitz's crying form and leans against him as Hurricane tries and hugs them both. "You will always be in my heart. And I'll always love you. Never forget that."

Blitz sniffs and tries to look at her. "And we won't forget you."

Hurricane smiles and looks behind her before looking back at them. "I have to go now. But I'll always be here. No matter what, right here." She said pointing to their hearts. "And here." She said then pointing to their heads. "Bye now." She said taking a few steps back.

Blitz sniffs as he tries to hold back the last of his tears. "Hurricane?"

Hurricane smiles as she looks to him. "Yes?"

Blitz sniffs as he tries to smile. "If he's there, say hello for me and for her." He said wrapping a hoof around Terra's.

Hurricane chuckles. "He never was." She said before she started to disappear.

Terra finally lets the last of tears fall as she disappeared.

"Mommy!"

Blitz just stared at the ceiling as he petted Terra's mane as she kept sniffing every now and then for the past few hours. "We have to tell."

"I can't father." Terra says.

"I understand. I will go talk to Twilight first. Will you be ok?" Blitz asks.

Terra sniffs as she wipes her tear stained face with her hooves. "Yeah."

"I will come to check up on you soon." Blitz says getting up.

Terra chokes back a sob. "I still miss her."

"I do as well." Blitz says before leaving.

"Twi, please sit down. I have something to tell you." Blitz says after leading Twilight to a room to talk alone.

Twilight sits down nearby. "What is it?"

"Twi, something happened when I was sent to the past I never told you about." Blitz says.

Twilight was confused. "What is it?"

"You remember me asking you to get some books on that time?" Blitz asks.

Twilight nods. "What's this about Blitz?"

"Well…I may have…" Blitz clears his throat. "You know how Celestia and Luna keep jokingly refer to us as grandparents after the whole baby incident?" Blitz asks.

Twilight chuckles. "Yeah, the foals really like it, thinking they are like mothers themselves."

"Well there is another reason they call us that." Blitz says getting nervous.

Twilight goes a little wide eyed. "Oh my Celestia, what did you do?"

"I may have had intercourse with one of the founding mares." Blitz says backing up.

Twilight stares at him. "What?"

"I may have gotten Hurricane pregnant." Blitz says against the wall.

Twilight's horn lights up and he braces himself before feeling nothing and sees Twilight looking through a history book. "Well now the mysterious knight makes sense now."

"What? You are not mad?" Blitz asks still bracing.

Twilight slams the book closed. "Oh I am. And now I'm going to give you the same punishment as you did."

"Also Twi, Terra needs some emotional support. We saw Hurricane's ghost." Blitz says looking sad again.

Twilight sighs and puts the book away. "Go to the foals. I'll deal with Terra."

"Twi." Blitz says as Twilight picked up on his sadness.

Twilight sighs. "I'm not mad. Just upset you didn't tell us at all. Nopony neither. I can't let that past."

"Well the main reason I didn't say anything was because I'm not sure how it affected the space time continuum." Blitz says before they started talking about that and Twilight theorized.

"So I understand a little better. You feared that just by talking about it, it would cause a distortion in reality?" Twilight asks.

"Basically yes." Blitz says.

Twilight adopts a thinking pose. "Hum, well I can't fault your logic or caution as we know next to nothing on that sort of thing." Twilight says.

"So?" Blitz asks as it started reaching a point where he could barely keep up in the conversation with his wife.

Twilight sighs. "You're still punished."

"Oh, and what if I do this?" Blitz asks before raspberrying her neck making her laugh.

Twilight laughs before pushing him away hard. "Blitz…ha ha…you basically kept this from us. When those two could have been true family." She said rubbing her neck.

"Celestia is still trying to forgive herself for almost banishing her baby uncle." Blitz says starting to tickle her.

Twilight keeps trying to push him away. "Cut that out. I'm still mad."

"No you're not. You are just trying to teach me a lesson and I have you." Blitz says kissing her.

Twilight groans into the kiss before sighing internally and just kisses him back. 'Idiot.'

"So who is a loving mare?" Blitz asks letting go of the kiss.

Twilight raises an eyebrow. "Who's a good stallion?"

"That would be our colt Arcane." Blitz says making her smile.

Twilight sighs. "Call them up. Get them here. I think it's time for a family outing."

"You were looking for an excuse weren't you?" Blitz asks.

Twilight hits his head. "I always wanted them to be like family and that's your punishment."

"Oh I'm hearing. Let's go for a third." Blitz whispers into her ear.

Twilight frowns. "No."

"You say that, but your body says yes." Blitz jokes nuzzling her.

Twilight keeps frowning. "Stop it."

"Oh so what did you think about the gifts I brought this time and the kids new pet?" Blitz asks.

Twilight pokes his chest. "That thing won't hurt them, right?"

"No, in fact it has a defense against all force abilities." Blitz says bringing up an article for her. "Now, Twi tonight, who is going to share a bed with me?" Blitz asks before nibbling her ear.

Twilight moans as she frowns. "Would you stop?"

"Not until you are satisfied and happy." Blitz says before starting to kiss her again.

Twilight groans as she kept trying to hold him back and he backs off a little. "I am until you get them here."

"Ok." Blitz says before paging them all. "Now I have to keep us entertained while we wait." Blitz says before starting to make out with her again.

Twilight rolls her eyes as he kisses her.

"Whoa Twi, you really needed him that much?" Rainbow teases Twilight.

Twilight has a goofy smile on her face as she laid down in a couch. "What?" She asks lost.

"So you going to me in his bed tonight?" Rainbow asks.

Twilight blinks confused. "Huh?" She asks waving her hooves in the air.

"Vinyl, can you get her to focus?" Rainbow asks.

"Aw, why should I? I like this Twilight. All in aftershock from the best rock in her life." Vinyl protested as she plays around with Twilight's hooves as she tries to grab Vinyl.

"Oh, what about Ice and Juko?" Spitfire asks.

Vinyl smirks as they hear something and look behind them to see Ice carrying a milk carton and Juko crawling behind her.

"I'm starting to think Twi will give birth to twice as many foals as the rest of us." Applejack says.

Rainbow shrugs. "Well she was first…beside you."

"Actually, the first one with foal is Octy there." E. Vinyl says.

Rainbow shakes her head. "No, I mean first choice."

Twilight giggles and cheers in her world. "Very big." She said lost as she keeps waving her hooves in the air.

"I think she is drunk." Daring says rocking her baby.

Twilight swoons. "Oh my. Again?" She asks almost turning to Rainbow.

"Twi, focus, you need to nurse your daughter." Rainbow says.

Twilight blinks. "What?" Rainbow sighs before hitting her on the head. "Ow! What the heck Rainbow?!" Twilight yells as she holds her head.

"Finally focused huh?" Applejack asks.

Twilight just used her magic tip off Applejack's hat. "I was enjoying that."

"Well it's time to nurse your daughter." Fluttershy says.

Twilight sighs. "Where is she?"

Fluttershy hums as she messes with her collar. "In the playroom with all the foals."

"Oh Aether, where are you?" Twilight calls playfully.

"Ma." Aether's head appears from the doorway on the other side of the hall.

"Come here my little girl. Come to mama." Twilight says outstretching her hooves.

Aether laughs and crawls on to her.

Twilight smiles and picks her up before carrying her to the couch and wraps her wing over her to conceal the feeding.

"So how's the princesses doing?" Rainbow asks seeing the two playing with the foals in the playroom.

"You all don't seem to surprised or even that angry when I told you." Twilight points out.

Rainbow shrugs. "They're family. I'm loyalty."

"Not even a little miffed about him not telling us?" Twilight asks.

They all shrug.

"If I say yes, will I get what you got?" Rainbow jokes.

Twilight glares slightly to her.

"Oh, sign me up for that." Vinyl jokes.

Twilight sighs and rolls her eyes.

Most of the mares there laughed hearing that.

Terra sniffs as she still laid on the couch. "Mommy."

"Mrs. Terra?" She hears Arcane call and come in.

"Huh? Oh little Arcane." Terra says wiping her face again for the hundredth time.

Arcane looks concerned as he sees the state of her. "Are you okay?" He asks walking up to her.

Terra sniffs and shakes her head. "I'm fine dear. What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be with your brothers and sisters?"

"I came to see my sister-in-law." Arcane says.

Terra sighs. "Well…you saw her. You better run off and deal with your own business." She said trying to lay down again and find a better position.

Arcane walks over and hugs her.

Terra tries to smile. "What are you doing?"

Arcane smiles. "Cheering you up."

Terra sniffs and hugs him back. "Oh Arcane. So noble, like your father."

"Yeah, now come on. The rest of my siblings are waiting for you." Arcane says.

Terra sniffs and nuzzles him. "Such a good boy. Let's go." She said letting go of him and getting up.

Blitz snores as he rested on the couch and the foals hung around him as they try and mess with him. "Come on, put this on." Azure said giving Sunshine the headphones.

"And what are you up to?" Blitz asks opening an eye.

Sunshine eeps and yells out as she fell off and landed in Azure's hooves. "You were awake?"

"Yeah, just letting you all play." Blitz says ruffling Sunshine's mane.

Sunshine fixes her name as he walks out. "Wow, no matter what, daddy's always happy with us."

"Alright everyone, to go see your mothers, ok?" Blitz asks.

"Da. Okay." He hears from mostly all of them and heads out.

"Geez. These guys can wear you out. We need a bigger playroom." Blitz said to himself.

"Or more." Twilight says walking up to him.

Blitz chuckles and looks to her. "Hey, heard you went to go do a presentation. My time with you helped out?"

"Oh, yes." Twilight says walking over to kiss his nose.

"Hey, can we get that too?" Night Glider asks walking up to them with DD.

Blitz chuckles and grabs them both before giving a kiss on their noses. "Happy?"

"Nope." DD says before capturing his lips.

Twilight rolls her eyes. "How long are you staying anyway?"

"Only until mine. I heard you are trying for your third." Night jokes.

Twilight sighs. "Why does that become common knowledge?" She grumbled to herself.

"Because you get very needy when you aim for another foal." DD says when Blitz moved onto Night and rubs her pregnant stomach.

Night sighs and nuzzles him. "He's so amazing."

"So how are you two pregnant mares doing?" Blitz asks petting DD's stomach now.

DD chuckles. "Pretty good. Just hungry most of the time."

"Oh ready to be a mother you two?" Blitz asks twisting one of DD's nipples with his magic.

DD eeps and glares to him. "Blitz."

"What snow bunny?" Blitz asks picking her up and holding her.

DD raises an eyebrow at him.

"I thought you loved the attention." Blitz whispers into her ears before nipping it playfully.

DD grumbles as Night snickers. "Yeah, she loves it so much, she asked me to do some things."

"And when she is healed up from giving birth, I will." Blitz whispers the rest into DD's ear.

DD blushes heavily. "Oh you tease."

"Does this prove I am serious?" Blitz asks twisting all of her nipples with his magic.

DD eeps loudly as Twilight sighs. "Geez, you sure want to touch us."

"I had to go half a year without doing that. And don't pretend all of you are missing my touch." Blitz says.

They all smile at that. "We don't." They said playfully.

"Oh?" Blitz asks before pulling all of their tails with his magic.

They all jumped at that. "Blitz."

"And I'm not done." Blitz says smirking, putting DD down before using his magic to hold them all in place and goes to each one and smacks their flanks.

They all yelp. "He's a bit kinky." Night said moaning. "Like it rough?"

"No, but I know I am turning all three of you on." Blitz says smirking.

"He is teasing us." Twilight says as DD drooled a bit.

Night smirks. "Want us to lift our tails too?"

"Twi maybe, but you two know I can't do you till after the little ones." Blitz says.

Night chuckles. "But do you want to see them?" She asks lifting her tail slightly.

"I already know what they look like." He said before sending a message to Night's omnitool.

Night hears her omnitool beep. "Um…you still got us stuck." She said pulling her leg and gets no leverage.

Blitz releases the spell and nuzzles both Night and DD before Night wraps a hoof around DD. "Come on DD, we have something to do, remember?"

DD shakes herself. "Yeah, whatever. Do you still that food we left behind?"

"What did you do?" Twilight asks.

"Do Soarin and DD still hate the plastic?" Blitz asks.

Twilight scratches her head. "Somewhat. Night is trying to have them get use to it."

"Then DD is going to hate what is coming." Blitz whispers to her.

Twilight sighs. "Oh Blitz. You know. I have been looking into the whole time travel thing." She said walking again.

"Please don't. It hurts my head every time I think about how technically you're the grandmother of Celestia and Luna when you are younger and they wouldn't exist if not for me and I would have never gone back in time if not for…ow…I have a headache now." Blitz says holding his head.

Twilight giggles and wraps a wing around him as she pulls him along. "Come on dear. Let's see about where do I can give a family grave for her."

"Ok Night, what are we doing here again?" DD asks trying to cool down from having Blitz rile her up in the shower.

Night smiles as she tries to find the box in the sink cupboard. "One sec."

"Did you have to hide the things here and not the kitchen we all use? I mean, I know this is a recent addition and it's nice and all, but it is quite a walk." DD says her back to Night.

Night smirks. "Because we were a late addition. They had no choice in the matter of building."

"Well I guess we are a big family now. We will need more rooms of rooms we have." DD says.

Night chuckles as she opens the box. "Yep." She said grabbing something.

"Also, was it necessary to lock the door so a foal can't come in and see where we keep the hard cider and stuff?" DD asks before she feels something be put around her neck and finds she cannot move.

Night smiles as she leans against her and hugs her. "So…you wanted more."

"Oh no." DD says knowing what Night was up to before Night starts attaching things to keep her hind legs spread apart and handcuffs her to a pole.

Night chuckles as she starts kissing her neck slightly. "I'm not Blitz, but I know what makes you tick." She whispered.

DD tried to free herself when Night put a gag in her mouth.

Night sighs as she massages her flanks. "Look at us, both pregnant and needy."

DD tries to look for a way out for anything.

Night kisses her cheek. "Just enjoy. I'm not going to hurt you so please, for the sake of us and Blitz, enjoy." She said moving her hips onto DD's.

DD goes wide eyed when she saw what Night had in her hooves.

"So which first, your flank or the second set of lips?" Night whispers into her ear.

DD gulps as she keeps trying to break free.

"Oh, my choice?" Night asks before shoving something into DD's flank.

DD screams into the gag as she makes the chains rattle around.

"Now for the other one." Night says slipping the second one into her more slowly.

DD groans as she tries to get away and move forward.

"And now, power on." Night whispers into her ear.

DD goes wide eyed and screams into the gag before freezing up and moaning.

"You like that, don't you DD? It's vibrating both at once." Night says.

DD moans loudly into the gag and slowly the rattle of chains stop.

"Good mare. How long till you lose yourself to the pleasure this time?" Night asks.

DD gulps as she thrashes her flank toward her. Night smiles and lays onto her. DD moans slightly and slowly looks to her pleadingly.

Night smiles and removes the gag before kissing her.

DD moans loudly into the kiss and tries to move her hooves around her.

"Nu uh, now it's time to raise the settings." Night says.

DD starts to moan weakly and lazily looks to her.

"Oh who is a good snow bunny?" Night asks.

DD snacks her lips. "Me." She moans.

"Good girl." Night says before kissing her.

Twilight smiles as she leads Blitz along. "You feel better?" She asks giving him a massage.

"Yes, dear." Blitz says leaning into her scratching his head.

Twilight smiles. "Good boy." She teased.

"Only for you." Blitz teases right back.

Twilight giggles and leans down to him. "Want to head out now or enjoy my hooves more?"

"We best walk around and see what's going on." Blitz says.

Twilight nods and let's go of him. "Want to see the map and where we went?"

"Sure, I hear you even met Rara." Blitz says.

Twilight laughs. "Applejack told you about her when you were younger huh?"

"Told? I was there." Blitz says.

Twilight smirks. "You went to summer camp?"

"Yeah, it was the last year before all of it went down. Also, has Ahsoka told you she has accepted her feelings and agreed to marry?" Blitz asks.

Twilight smiles as she takes out a list from nowhere and writes down Ahsoka's name. "There we go." She said rolling it up before poofing it away.

"Also, she is here as if you didn't already know that and Twi, help me keep this out of the foal's grasp." Blitz says showing his newly made lightsaber.

Twilight raises an eyebrow. "What the…why is it different?"

"I made a new one." Blitz says before putting it away.

Twilight frowns. "Blitz." She scolds as they enter the map room.

Blitz grins. "What…?" Blitz stops seeing someone in Fluttershy's chair. "Um…excuse me…that's Fluttershy's." He told Starlight Glimmer politely even though he was ready to tear her a new one.

"How did you even get in here?" Twilight asks almost angrily as they hear hissing from above them.

"Oh my god, tell me you are not using the headache inducing time travel bull to enact revenge. I have enough headaches with this without you doing this." Blitz says.

Starlight just stares at them a bit surprised before shrugging and taking out a scroll and throwing it into the air and shoots it with magic before it creates a gear circle and hits the map table with magic too as changelings tried to go after her, but a barrier of gears appears around the table and blocks them as she herself floats in the air with her magic and flies off into the portal made above the map and disappears as the portal closes and barrier falls.

Blitz, seeing this, but his hooves to his face and lets out a sigh of despair. "Twi, please summon my combat gear." Blitz managed.

Twilight facehooves as she lights up her horns and brings the case at his hooves. "I hate her."

"Don't hate it, only makes things worse." Blitz says getting dressed.

Twilight sighs before the scroll from before floated down and she catches it. "Hang on, this is way too old. And all this is…" She goes wide eyed. "Um…Blitz?"

"It reopened?" Blitz asks turning into a pegasus so he could fly.

Twilight shakes her head. "This is Starswirl's original time travel spell. Heavily modified."

"I figured it was time travel just from looking at the portal. It looked sort of like a clock from the outset." Blitz says.

Twilight frowns and lights up her horn. "Well we aren't doing much good here. We have to follow her. Stay here and protect the room." She calls the last sentence to the changelings as Blitz follows her to the table sighing all the way. "Okay…let's see…"

"It's going to be one of those days." Blitz says to the changelings who nod in understanding.

Twilight then smiles and fires a spell at the scroll before it flies up and does the same thing and they are both sucked into it.

"Seriously, one of those days." Blitz said crossing his hooves as they travel through a portal tunnel that had clock gears all around.

Twilight frowns. "But when would she go?"

"Just follow the trail she left behind she obviously wants us to follow or she wouldn't have waited till now and tossed the spell aside for us to use." Blitz says.

Twilight ends up staring at him.

"Can you think of a logical reason besides that one?" Blitz asks.

Twilight opens her mouth to speak, but stops short as they reach the end of the tunnel and fall through. "Crap!" She yells before hitting hard road as Blitz landed on top of her. "Blitz, I know you're happy and all to be back, but we already went one round."

Blitz lets out a sigh. "Twi, after all of this, I am going to need something hard to drink." Blitz says getting up.

Twilight groans as she gets up. "I'm sure the changelings have something." She said looking around and blinks at the sight of so many foals trying to fly.

"Oh look, Dashie." Blitz says as she flew by.

Twilight blinks at the sight. "Cloudsdale, Rainbow?"

"The story on cutie marks." Blitz says blatantly.

Twilight stares for a few moments before facehoofing. "Oh boy. Come on, let's get to the race." She said before flying off.

"Why not just use a tracking spell and she already flew away." Blitz says before sighing and flying after her.

Twilight goes wide eyed. "Blitz, we don't know what she…dang it." She said to herself as she lands beside the Blitz encased in crystal. "Really?"

"Really, this is what you are doing Starlight? A question, have you consider what effect this will have on the space time continuum and she is not listening and is on a rant. Perfect." Blitz says as his armor was encased, but he could still freely talk in his armor.

Twilight frowns before she sees her fire a spell that made the young Rainbow's wing lock up. "And we are done."

"She is screwing over the space time continuum...and most likely erasing our foals from existence." Blitz says now starting to feel hate great amounts of hate and anger.

Twilight places her on the crystal sadly before a portal opened above them and pulled them in. "That's the time frame. From the bullying to the Sonic Rainboom." She summarized as they travel through the tunnel.

"I'm going to kill her." Blitz says not hesitating after being freed.

Twilight places a hoof on him. "And she stopped you immediately and we don't have guns."

"I am going to use the force to choke her to death and while cutting out her heart and feeding it to her." Blitz says letting his anger rule him here.

Twilight keeps frowning as they hit the other end and travel through the tunnel and land on a plain with the table next to them.

"Ow. Add landing badly to that hate list." Twilight said slowly getting up.

Blitz looks left, then right. "Love where or when are we?" Blitz asks.

Twilight groans as she looks around as well. "I don't know. You ever seen something like this before?" She asks seeing an almost dead land.

"We are back in the time we left, correct?" Blitz asks.

Twilight looks behind her and sees the table in ruin. "Well this is here…but…" She looks around for any sign of the castle.

"Geographically, the same exact place we left, but with no buildings." Blitz says voicing what Twilight was thinking.

Twilight hums as she looks a bit into the distance and sees some rooftops. "Over there maybe." She said pointing and walking the direction.

"Twi, to get back, what will you think we will need?" Blitz asks turning into his unicorn form and removes his helmet.

Twilight shrugs. "I don't know. I need to think for a bit."

"Ok." Blitz says as they walk into town which was mostly boarded up.

Twilight looks back to him. "Are you getting a familiar vibe for some reason?"

"It's Ponyville, but not the one we know." Blitz says.

Twilight nods as she looks at a window and sees a mare who quickly closes her window. "Yeah, like it's…do you see smoke?" She asks seeing the smoke rising from Applejack's farm.

"Judging by it, I would say industry result and that doesn't look good." Blitz says.

Twilight nods. "Considering that Applejack hates the machines." She said walking towards it.

"Oh, I hate where this going." Blitz says as they come to the farm.

Twilight raises an eyebrow as she looks to the barn and looks through a window to see a whole assembly line of apples put into cans. "Doda doda, dodado, doda doda, dodado. Danna, danna." She hums to herself before seeing Blitz look at her weirdly. "What? It's factory music. I can't get it out of my head when we have an assembly line."

"You have been hanging around the factories too much." Blitz says.

Twilight shrugs. "Blame the Muzak." She said before heading to the entrance.

"Well I know she wouldn't wear that. You mind talking to here?" Blitz asks seeing Applejack in a strange military outfit.

Twilight nods as she walks up. "Applejack?" She calls.

"Yeah, can I help you?" Applejack asks not looking too pleased.

Twilight frowns a bit as she looks around. "What happened here?"

Applejack raises an eyebrow like she always did. "You came out of a vault or something?"

Blitz sits on the ground waiting, trying to calm himself.

"Blitzkrieg, you mind helping me?" Twilight asks.

Applejack goes a little wide eyed. "Bli…Blitz…no. You must be pulling my tail." She said with anger evident in her voice.

"Take a chill pill Jackie before you break out the rope." Blitz says.

Applejack blinks. "Oh my, it is you. But…you…"

"Yeah, long story. You mind helping me out. My son has been taken and I am trying to track down the bastards that dare foalnapped him and I chased him to this continent and I need an update on what is happening here because it's been so long." Blitz says.

Applejack slowly frowns. "Then it has to be King Sombra. Sorry, but he's most likely turned into his personal army or dead."

"What has happened Jackie?" Blitz asks with Applejack seeing he was having a hard time keeping calm.

Applejack sighs dreadfully. "When the crystal Empire retuned, King Sombra came back with it. And it didn't take long for every one of his subjects to fight for him for Equestria. And even with Princess Celestia, it still takes all of us, doing their part to fight for Equestria. We went from a peace loving country to war country."

"I see. Twi get your wings ready. We have some traveling some do." Blitz says as Applejack notices Twilight was an alicorn.

Twilight smiles a bit as she flares her wings. "You're going to end this war early, aren't you?"

"I'm going to kill anyone who gets in my way." Blitz says donning his helmet.

Twilight sighs. "Okay, let's do this." She said before taking off with him turning into a pegasus and following.

"Blitzy." Applejack says sadly.

"Ok, we now know history has been changed." Twilight says.

"What are we going to need to reactivate the spell?" Blitz asks.

Twilight frowns. "That scroll. It seems it is the center point of all this. Maybe providing the spark as it were."

"Yes, but will you need any items to do this?" Blitz asks.

"Maybe a Rachtium crystal. I have been using them for a lot of my spells lately." Twilight says and Blitz looked confused. "Oh, they are a recent discovery to us. We discovered them while you were fighting in the war."

"And where is the nearest deposit?" Blitz asks.

"Um…northern Equestria bordering the crystal kingdom from the original timeline." Twilight offers.

Blitz facehooves. "Okay, give me time. For now, let's see about this crystal empire right now and is that a camp?" He asks looking down and looks ahead to see a worn out field with holes and craters. He said as he stops flying and hovers there. "Again I have to see this, but in my home."

Twilight looks to him sadly as he slowly lands down near the edge with her following. "How many?"

"Thousands. Ill equipped on both sides, this is fighting with hooves, not weapons." Blitz says.

Twilight sighs. "Come on. Let's see if we can find the princesses in this." She said spreading her wings.

"Princess, only one." Blitz says looking up at the night sky to the moon.

Twilight stops and looks up. "Oh Luna."

"Without the elements, she must still be nightmare moon." Blitz says.

Twilight sighs. "Let's go. This isn't our world, but we can change something."

"Twi, you told me Sombra's magic can make you live your worst fear at the time, right?" Blitz asks.

Twilight nods. "Yeah, why?"

"If he uses it on me and my current state, I might use the power of the dark side and channel all my hate and anger in my power. You know what it can do, don't you?" Blitz asks.

"You could become the most powerful dark powered being in the world at this time." Twilight says.

"Yes and we both know the force has the potential to destroy entire planets." Blitz says.

Twilight frowns. "Want to see your granddaughter first?"

"She wouldn't understand, but you can meet her. I will stay outside." Blitz says.

Twilight nods and flies inside the camp as Blitz keeps watching the battlefield where fighting will resume tomorrow. Blitz didn't even look around when he heard somepony land. "Can I help you?"

Blitz sighs and looks behind him to see Rainbow with a short cut mane and a metal wing. "You kinda hated the future for flight on your wings. Wanted to go all natural." He mused.

"What was that?" Rainbow asks.

"Nothing." Blitz says turning back to the battlefield.

Rainbow frowns. "Hey, can we help you?"

"Unless you bring me Sombra's head, no." Blitz says.

Rainbow scoffs. "Nopony can get close to him."

"With your pathetic fighting, I can understand why." Blitz says.

Rainbow growls. "Pathetic? I'll show you pathetic!" She yells and launches herself at him.

Blitz, in a moment, turns into his pegasus form and flips over her before landing where he sat again.

Rainbow stops and stares at him. "What the…Sombra soldier."

"If I was, why didn't I attack you or not hiding to spy on you?" Blitz asks.

Rainbow frowns as she gets up. "What do you want?"

"King Sombra is in my way to finding my son." Blitz says.

Rainbow tilts her head. "Your son?"

"Yes, my son. He was either kidnapped him or is just in my way in my search to find my foal." Blitz says.

Rainbow huffs. "Right and I'm the freaking princess."

"Well pardon me your royal highness. Should I curtsy for you?" Blitz says sarcastically.

Rainbow growls. "You're a frigging idiot. You won't even make it onto the field."

"Who will stop me that will live?" Blitz asks seriously as he returns to being a unicorn.

Rainbow rolls her eyes and steps aside. "Go ahead, go out there and die."

"I can't. My companion wanted to meet with Celestia before we go forward. Also Sombra isn't here. The Sombra you have been chasing is an illusion created by him." Blitz says.

Rainbow stops and stares at him as Twilight returned with Celestia behind her. "You have come far Blitzkrieg. I commend that."

"Commend the fact Sombra is tricking you and have an illusion." Blitz said shaking himself as Twilight steps up to him.

"What do you mean?" Celestia asks.

"Do you really think that the overlord would so easily come to the front lines? That is too easy." Blitz says.

Celestia blinks as Twilight sighs and looks to Blitz. "Whatever you are going to do, do it now. We have to find those crystals."

"I am going to walk right through their frontline, but I know you want to help them Twi so I will wait until morning. Then you will see how you should fight a war." Blitz says.

Twilight raises an eyebrow to Celestia as she stared at them. "I'll prepare the plans." She said before walking off.

"Twi, stay back tomorrow. It is going to get messy." Blitz says.

Twilight rolls her eyes at him. "I said I'm going to prepare the plans. Didn't you hear me?"

"As long as you are not on the frontlines, then I am fine with that." Blitz says.

Twilight sighs and continues walking into camp.

Blitz doesn't move from his spot as Rainbow was in shock of not only the second alicorn, but that Blitz wasn't intimidated by Celestia.

"Seriously, get out of those jewels unless you have magical wards in them, they are useless. The suits would do more good here." Blitz comments. Rainbow was dumbfounded enough to snap out of it from that comment. "Good, you are back to reality, now you can leave." Blitz says.

Rainbow opens her mouth, but a wave from Celestia shut her up and she took off and left. "You are certainly not from here." She said looking back to Blitz.

"If I was, I would be as useless as the guards in a fight." Blitz says.

Celestia raises an eyebrow. "Really? They are useless?"

"You don't even use weapons. This is a comedy, not a war." Blitz says.

Celestia just keeps a stoic face. "We never had a war for a long time. Do you think we would be making it so easily now?"

"The battlefield is my home." Blitz says.

Celestia tilts her head a bit. "What do you know about me?"

"More than you will even know, granddaughter of Hurricane." Blitz says.

Celestia's stoic face finally broke and looks surprised at him.

"We are done here." Blitz says.

Celestia blinks and watches at he starts to leave. "Wait."

Then to her shock, he just disappeared entirely.

"I hate that." Celestia said walking back to her tent.

The next morning, Rainbow was talking to her squad about what happened last night.

"I'm telling you. He turned into a pegasus to avoid me." Rainbow says.

Another mare with a fiery mane shakes her head. "Impossible. Not even Celestia will do that."

"But it did happen. He even chewed out the princess a bit, calling us pathetic in a fight." Rainbow says.

"That's a meanie pants." A pink pony said with a flat pink mane.

"Dash, you need to lay off the cider. No way the princess would let that slide." A purple flat mane pony said next to the pink one with a swear jar very close to being full.

"He's a crude shrill…oh forget it. He's a nonsensical mother bucker!" The pink pony yells out before dropping a bit into the jar calmly.

"He also said he will walk right through the frontlines today in the battle." Rainbow says.

They all look to each other surprised. "That's suicide. He'll never make it." The fiery mane said.

"He sounded serious. I don't know what his deal is, but he sure seems that way to me." Rainbow says.

"And let me guess, the princess will want us to back him up right?" A white mane pegasus asks.

"He also said the Sombra here is an illusion." Rainbow adds.

"Huh?" Maud asks.

"Illusion." Rainbow said.

"Hum…what makes the mother bucker say that?" Pinkamena asks putting another bit into the jar.

Rainbow shrugs. "I don't know. Something about that he is too smart to appear on the frontline."

"He meant he only would do so if he was forced." Twilight says walking up, making Spitfire do a spit take.

"What the heck?! Another princess?!" She yells looking at her.

"Still think I was drunk?" Rainbow asks.

Twilight sighs. "You girls will be with Blitz on the front lines. Behind him though. And you will learn from him. I have seen what he can do in a battle and you don't want him against you."

"Yeah right. How good could he be?" Maud asks.

Twilight raises an eyebrow. "Wait and see. You have to get to the frontline right now."

"Yeah, yeah, come on girls. Time for the daily battle of this stalemate." Spitfire says.

Twilight huffs. "Celestia would disagree with what I have given her." She said walking away.

"Hey Spinner, you seen an unusual stallion around here? We are running defense for him." Spitfire asks.

Spinner just points to the armored pony at the front near the trench line. He was sitting on a rock above the trench, waiting.

Blitz sighs as he shakes his head. "Pathetic. Cloth uniforms and they get metal and crystal. Idiots."

"Care to repeat that?" Fleetfoot asks.

"Gladly, this isn't a war, it's a fucking joke." Blitz says.

Pinkamena holds up the swear jar to him.

"Foolish, they have hidden troops in the middle of the field under the snow. All alone, too far to get help." Blitz says.

They all lean out to see them. "Where?" Rainbow asks.

"Halfway from the enemy camp." Blitz says.

Rainbow narrows her eyes. "Um…there's nothing."

"You will see." Blitz says getting up and starts walking, despite cries for him to come back.

"Oh, there's a barb wire you need to cut. Their clothes aren't that good!" Twilight calls behind the lines.

"Um…Twilight, was it?" Celestia asks.

Twilight looks up to her. "Yes?"

"Um…Blitzkrieg is walking forward without everyone." Celestia says as the wind kicks up and the line of sight started to be blurred.

Twilight shrugs. "He's like that. He would literally walk into battle for his family."

Celestia looks at her and soon they heard screams and war cries.

Twilight sighs as she hears the others grumble. "Well he is dead. Can we get back to our normal assignment?" Rainbow asks.

Twilight holds up a hoof. "Wait for it."

After a few minutes, the screams stopped and Blitz returned and soon tossed a half destroyed captain helmet with blood on it into the trench before getting back onto his seat.

Twilight hums as she picks it up and looks it over. "Weird. This is metal…but Sombra destroyed its protection by having some control spells in it."

"Ten minutes." Blitz says as the troops start watching him.

Twilight then tossed the helmet into the air before firing a spell at it. "Normal fire spell should have destroyed the last protection before a magical blast of force should do it." She said as the pieces fell around her.

"I think you have to reevaluate your opinion Rainbow." Spitfire says.

Twilight yawns as she sits by Blitz. "Weaker than ours, right?"

"My opinion hasn't changed." Blitz says.

Twilight sighs as she leans against him. "When can we go?"

"Five more minutes for them to shake off their shock or they will be completely useless." Blitz says.

Twilight sighs and glares slightly to Celestia.

Celestia nods and signals the ponies to prepare to charge.

"So how much longer can we be here? If we at least get Sombra, we can end this early." Twilight asks.

"Yes and it will make it easier for us." Blitz says.

Twilight looks to him. "Can we finish this early? I don't want this to go on and see this world fall apart."

"It depends on them. You will be staying with Celestia while I work. Keep her on track as I carve a path." Blitz says.

Twilight smiles a bit. "You know I'm second best to Spike."

"Yes, you are." Blitz says getting up.

Twilight sighs and gets up as well and goes to Celestia. "Try and make it horrifying for him. Give him a taste of his own medicine."

"I will teach them the true horrors of war." Blitz says starting to walk forward as the other ponies get ready to charge as the snow and wind obscures their vision as it falters, showing the enemy getting ready to charge as well.

Twilight raises an eyebrow as Celestia gets ready to head in, but she places a hoof on her leg and makes her stop. "Only an idiot sends their commanders first."

"But my presence inspires the troops." Celestia says.

"Trust me, it's not the troops that need inspiration. It's the enemy when Blitz reaches them, beside, we both know with no Sombra there, you should conserve your power." Twilight says.

Celestia looks to her slightly confused as to how much this pony knew before just planting her hooves on the ground.

"Here we go. Spinner, make sure the new recruits don't get themselves killed." Spitfire says taking to the sky.

Spinner salutes as he turns to the new recruits.

"Charge!" A guard yells and the ponies started charging Sombra's forces and they started to do the same thing they always been doing. Blitz didn't even change his pace.

The two forces met far ahead of Blitz and started a brawl, punching and kicking each other. "Idiots even for Sombra. Make crystal weapons. You make crystal yourself." He said to himself.

"You seem relaxed." Maud says walking beside him with Pinkamena.

Blitz shrugs. "It's so petty. It's like watching nobles fight each other and they are even better than this."

"Oh, then why are you not in there yet?" Pinkamena chastises him.

"Because that is when the battle shifts into the next phase." Blitz says as three ponies charge them.

Maud frowns as she gets into a stance. "Pinkamena." She said and Pinkamena gets in her stance.

Blitz walks right past them as the three closed in. "Insects." Blitz says before withdrawing his claws on the right hoof and with a flash of silver, all three of the pony's heads flew off their bodies into the brawl. One hit the head of one of the guards and he turns around to see the severed head with blood still coming from it.

The solar guard looks to the head and jumps back surprised. "What the buck?!"

Blitz keeps walking to the frontline as Maud and Pinkamena could only stare at what just happened.

"What the buck?" They both ask and place a bit into the swear jar that appeared.

Blitz stepped into the battle line and pushed aside those on Celestia side and struck his claws through one of Sombra's ponies before tearing it out through the pony's right side, spraying blood in the direction.

Some blood fell onto the guards and they jump and try and wipe them off. "Not even good for healing." Blitz comments as he walks past.

Blitz then stopped and raised up onto his hindlegs. "This joke of a battle is over." Blitz says withdrawing his other claw before charging at Sombra's ponies on them with impressive speed and starts cutting through them like they are paper before jumping over them and spins midair, cutting off heads or at least part of them, spraying blood from everyone he cut down as he made his way to the center and really opens up as if he was in a berserker rage, slashing a few more times than necessary as blood flies everywhere, shocking the equestrian troops completely at his brutality.

"The buck is going on…?" Rainbow tries to ask.

Blitz then spies a wounded Sombra troop trying to crawl away and brings his hoof down and crushes the head in as the second wave approached.

"How…?" Celestia tries to ask in shock.

"It's as Blitz said, his home is the battlefield. He has lived so long there he can live no other way now." Twilight says sadly.

Celestia slowly looks to her. "How long?"

"Since he was a foal, he was foalnapped from this very country to be sold and was saved by ponies just like him. The mandalorians." Twilight says ringing a bell to Celestia.

Celestia blinks. "The Mandalorians. A so tough clan and only one survived before it was just a ghost."

"They survived in a sense, but left Equestria." Twilight says.

Celestia looks to her in small shock.

"None of the original clan line exists, but their teachings and ways survived. Blitz is one of those who follows their ways." Twilight says.

Celestia looks back to the battle as more blood was flying around. "So this is what my ancestor was like." Celestia says.

Blitz looks to the new wave before using his magic to start ripping the armor off the corpses and floats it in front of him.

Rainbow blinks as they were all stuck in sight. "What the heck is he…?"

They watch as the armor started to be torn apart into what was small pieces of shrapnel and the sharp ends start to point towards the charging ponies.

"Wait?! He isn't thinking of…?!" Spitfire yells.

Soon, all of the shards start flying ahead to meet the charging line and the result was gruesome as the shrapnel rips through the armor, the flesh, and bones.

They watch as the charging line slowly comes to a stop before falling down on each other. "This is…" One guard tries to say.

"War." Blitz finishes starting to walk forward once more.

"Blitz. End this. We still need the population of crystal ponies intact to survive. Finish this fight or knock them out and get to Sombra. Show a real fight." He hears Twilight over the radio.

Blitz nods and starts letting the force flow from him with a little darkness starting to amplify the fear the ponies of Sombra's troops felt. "Remove your armor and surrender now or don't and all of you will die. This is your only warning." Blitz calls.

They watch as the rest of the line stop before they had shaking legs reach up and start to remove their helmets and drop them to the ground and they start to quickly move and get rid of the armor.

Blitz starts marching again as they got out of the way out of fear. Fear so great to break Sombra's hold. Soon the enemy camp was ablaze.

Celestia gulps as she watches Blitz sit in front of the burning camp. "He's…"

"A product of war." Twilight says as the troops brought back the freed crystal ponies, which to most, shock was most of them.

Twilight sighs as she watches them. "At least that species line of ponies will survive. This world needs all…even elusive changelings. Blitz…come on back. Time to end this war." She calls into the communicator as she walks back into camp.

"Twilight, you are wrong. This war has just started; we have a long way to go before we reach the goal." Blitz says.

"How many more cities do we need to go through?" She asks.

"Many." Blitz says.

"Then how about a ploy?" She asks.

"Fight by Celestia's side. I am going straight to the crystal empire." Blitz says starting to walk.

"Try to gather as many crystal ponies you can. I don't want to see them pushed into extinction. But they have the size of an empire city."

"Just send a division to follow behind me." Blitz says.

"Already done." Twilight said waving over Celestia who have been listening.

That night, many ponies could not believe what had happened in the battle. They had won completely defeating the Sobra troops, but the method…

"This is slaughter." Celestia said as Twilight drew more maps.

"That is war." Twilight says.

Celestia frowns. "So I build this victory over Sombra in a pool of blood?"

"That is the nature of war itself and only blood being spilt was by the mandalorians, the original owners of these lands. Your people." Twilight says.

Celestia stares at her as she just calmly drew on the maps. "What do you know of my kind?"

"Sorry, I was sworn to secrecy and not much to be honest. Blitz knows far more and good luck getting him to talk." Twilight says.

Celestia frowns as she sat back down at her table. "You two are an anomaly. Just coming in here and killing them all."

"Blitz does have a reason. He looks for his son and Sombra is either responsible or in his way and as you seen, he will slaughter anything in his way." Twilight says.

Celestia huffs. "How can you be so calm of this…madhouse?"

"This isn't my first war either and I am also worried. Blitz is my stallion and my son is the one he searches for." Twilight says sadly.

Celestia's glare softens as she hears that. "Your son?"

"My little Arcane. I feel pain from this, but Blitz keeps it all bottled up and if Sombra provokes him, there is no telling to what will happen." Twilight says.

Celestia stares at her as Twilight seem to have gain the long yard stare before going back to her maps.

"You ok there Spinner?" Spitfire asks.

"All that blood…" Spinner tries to speak.

"Hang in there stallion." Spitfire says patting his shoulder before leaving.

"You ok Spitfire?" Rainbow asks checking her gear.

Spitfire sighs. "How does one deal with war like that?"

"I don't know, but you hear what he said this was war to him?" Rainbow says.

Spitfire nods. "Makes me wonder what his wars was like really."

"Probably the same as what we saw. So what is the princess going to do with the crystal ponies?" Rainbow asks.

Spitfire looks to her. "I heard they were making a breeding program so they can have the numbers in case Blitz kills them all or worse, Sombra."

"I mean what is the plan for them. They going to help our populace supply us?" Rainbow asks.

Spitfire raises an eyebrow. "Did you see their eyes? They wanted no more of it. Nothing. Probably just wants a secluded little village and hide there until this boils over."

"I'm personally shocked they were scared so badly it broke the mind control." Pinkamena says.

Maud nods. "For Sombra, that's tough to do. Makes me wonder how much Blitz can have a hold on them or even Sombra himself."

"I bet they are still conscious under it all and feeling something stronger like fear would break the control completely." A royal guard unicorn says.

"Maybe they are. They really wanted to take off the armor." Pinkamena said.

"Despite how you look at it, we won." A guard says happily smug.

A rock was suddenly thrown his way and hits him square on the head and knocks him down. "Congratulations, you won the battle and lost the war by succumbing to an assassination." Blitz said tossing a rock up and down as he was ahead of them, listening to them bicker.

"Why is he insist on sitting so far away?" Fleetfoot asks.

"Because we have so much we can't tell or do." Twilight said walking past and goes to Blitz.

Blitz says nothing as he looks out. "There is a fort not far on the road ahead. Fastest way to the empire." Blitz says.

Twilight nods as she sits down and leans against him. "How are you doing?" She asks quietly.

"Indifferent." Blitz says.

Twilight looks up to him. "Blitz."

"If we succeed, this will have never happened." Blitz says bluntly.

Twilight sighs and looks ahead as well. "And all our long days and hours will be all for naught and just wasted."

"You know that is not what I meant." Blitz says.

Twilight just nuzzles into his armor. "Please, I had enough of this. I just want it to stop and let us all be together again. All of us." She said as she moves a hoof to her stomach.

"I know and the fastest way to do that is to bloody my hooves again." Blitz says.

Twilight wraps a hoof around his armored one. "Please, save as many as you can."

"If the fear they feel snaps them out of it, then they will live." Blitz says.

Twilight sighs and closes her eyes. "She knows her heritage line."

"I know. Terra informed me she told her daughters everything." Blitz says.

Twilight starts to rest against him. "Don't ever leave me or the others."

"I won't. Now get some rest. I move out tomorrow and you stay here with Celestia." Blitz says.

Twilight mumbles as she clumsily wraps her hooves around him. "Don't…"

"Rest." Blitz says petting her as she fell asleep.

Rainbow raises an eyebrow as she watches them. "Do you see that?"

"The way she snuggled into him?" Fleetfoot asks.

Rainbow nods. "The way they talked…it's like they were just soldiers."

"I would say more like married." Spitfire says.

Rainbow raises an eyebrow to her. "How would you know?"

"I have seen a lot of romance movies." Spitfire admits blushing.

Rainbow taps her hooves. "Before or after the theaters were gone?"

"Both." Spitfire says.

Rainbow scoffs. "Right."

"Oh, you don't think so? Why don't you go and try and flirt with him then Rainbow?" Maud challenged.

Rainbow frowns to her. "We have a war right on the next hill and you what me to flirt?"

"Sounds like someone isn't confident she can do it." Pinkamena says.

Rainbow huffs. "I'll show you. I just need to get that big head away from him and he'll be like all the other stallions."

"She is asleep. Somepony go take her to one of the beds." Spitfire says.

Maud smiles and gets up and moves to them.

"Can I help you?" Blitz asks.

Maud smiles. "I can take the mare to bed. We have some tents for you."

"Very well." Blitz says.

Maud nods and takes Twilight and places her across Maud's back and walks back to camp.

Blitz sat there waiting as he looks to the two paths, one into a canyon, the other into rolling hills with crystal everywhere.

"Hey?" Rainbow said behind him.

"Yes?" Blitz asks.

Rainbow frowns a bit. "Kinda wanted to talk to you."

"About?" Blitz asks.

Rainbow watches him carefully. "You."

"Huh?" Blitz asks looking at her now.

Rainbow smiles a bit. "You. I want to know more about you."

"What brought this on?" Blitz asks.

Rainbow just points to Twilight's sleeping form.

"Ah, my wife." Blitz says.

Rainbow blinks. "Wife huh?"

"Yes, the head one at least. She insisted we form a herd." Blitz says.

Rainbow frowns. "Lucky. We don't even have a chance to get together."

"You will soon enough." Blitz says.

Rainbow raises an eyebrow. "I doubt that."

"it should take two weeks of walking to get to the capital from here." Blitz says.

Rainbow scoffs. "Please. With all those soldiers out there, it became a year."

"If you take the long way around, yes." Blitz says.

Rainbow rolls her eyes. "You won't even make it in two weeks."

"Not unless you walk in a straight line to it." Blitz says sending alarm bells off inside Rainbow's head.

Rainbow frowns. "You are going through the canyon."

"It is the fastest way." Blitz says.

"Are you kidding?! That is the most fortified path of the front with two forts. One in the canyon, the other outside the exit and they are jam-packed with more troops than what we fought on the plains." Rainbow says.

"So?" Blitz asks completely unfazed.

Rainbow scoffs as she seems to have a slight temper and walks around angrily. "You do have a death wish. Don't count me in if you get killed."

"I wouldn't expect you too. Your life is precious." Blitz says.

Rainbow blinks and looks to him confused. "What?"

"You heard me." Blitz says looking back to the paths.

Rainbow just ended up staring at him.

Blitz sat there in silence, knowing Rainbow was still watching him. 'Even if you are not my Rainbow, I still love you.'

Rainbow groans out loud and walks away. "You're a bucking idiot."

Blitz just looks up to the stars and starts to recall the faces of those he loves, from his mares to his foals.

"So how did it go?" Pinkamena asks.

"He has a death wish." Rainbow said simply and sits down before laying on the ground.

"Oh, looks like somepony got more than she bargained for." Muad says.

Rainbow scoffs. "He's going for the canyon."

They all look at her at once. "Wait what? Does he not realize that is Sombra's supply line and he fortified it well?" Spitfire asks.

Blitz's ears perks up in their direction. "I don't think he even knows better about the two forts there with it being old castles." He heard Rainbow said.

"I think he is getting up." Fleetfoot says.

They all look and sees Blitz leaving. "What the buck? I thought it wasn't until morning?" Pinkamena asks before Muad brings out the swear jar.

Blitz keeps walking until he turns into his pegasus form and takes off.

"This guy is a bucking idiot!" Rainbow yells and tosses a bit behind her.

"Did he just grow wings?" Fleetfoot asks.

"Ask bucking Celestia about that! We have more pressing matters. Like what will Sombra do when he realized that line will be attacked." Spitfire yells and tosses a bit behind her as well.

"We better stop him." Rainbow says unfurling her wings.

Fleetfoot gets on her back and stops her. "And what?! You going to follow him to that line too?"

"We were ordered to watch him. You want to give Blueblood a reason to enslave us in for himself as punishment for disobeying orders?" Rainbow asks.

Fleetfoot frowns. "And the other is getting yourself killed."

"I would rather die than let him touch me." Rainbow says bucking Fleetfoot off her and takes off.

Fleetfoot groans. "She's dead." She said unfurling her wings."

"But, we are going." Spitfire says taking off.

Spinner blinks as they all leave. He shrugs and starts running toward the canyon.

"How fast is he?" Rainbow asks trying to find him as they neared the fort. To her shame, she was not as fast as she used to be because of her prosthetic.

Spitfire frowns as she looks behind her at Rainbow. "You doing okay?"

"Can't find the guy and we are nearing the fort." Rainbow says.

"It has been two hours. Could we have over shot him?" Fleetfoot asks.

Spitfire shakes her head. "Not really. We would have seen him."

"I think I see smoke coming from the fort." Spitfire says.

Rainbow raises an eyebrow at the sight. "That isn't fire smoke."

"Investigate?" Spitfire asks.

Rainbow flies down and tries to get in close and covers her mouth from the smoke before seeing many bodies on the ground and not moving and flies back up. "They're on the ground."

"Looks like he was already here." Spitfire says. "Alright, air filtration on you two." Spitfire instructs, getting her helmet out and putting it on.

Rainbow frowns as she puts on hers. "I hate these things."

"Let's go." Fleetfoot says before flying in and they examine the ones on the ground, but find them breathing.

"They're alive." Spitfire said getting the helmet off of one.

"Not what I was expecting." Rainbow says removing another one.

Fleetfoot huffs as she tosses away a bunch of helmets. "Outside the walls too."

"I saw no…there he is." Spitfire says spotting Blitz sitting on one of the walls.

"They will be fine. Just get the armors." He said not even moving.

"Somepony go inform Spinner and others coming. We have the fort and open the gate for them." Spitfire says.

Fleetfoot flies off and goes to find the team.

Spitfire, seeing this, goes to see Blitz. "What do you need?" Blitz asks.

Spitfire frowns. "Explanations."

"This is how you covertly take a supply line. When do you think the next shipment will arrive?" Blitz asks.

Spitfire growls silently. "In a few days' time."

"Then ambush it and take the supplies." Blitz says bluntly.

Spitfire frowns. "Easier said than done."

"Just don't show off. This fort was captured like some sort of Jackass and it will work." Blitz says freezing Spitfire as that was one of her favorite phrases when training wonderbolts.

"Well…okay then." Spitfire says weirded out a bit.

"The smoke will clear. In less than an hour, the effects will go away past dawn." Blitz says.

"Something isn't right. They should have gotten resupplied by now." Celestia says looking at the hill forts that controlled this area.

Twilight hums as she stands by her and keeps writing on the maps. "Must have been stopped."

"But how? The forts of the supply line are well fortified and very well manned." Celestia says before a messenger runs up.

"Princess, the line inside the canyon has been captured." He said panting.

"By who?" Celestia asks.

The messenger pants deeply. "Blitzkrieg."

"Told you." Twilight said without stopping her writing.

"Send a few divisions to man that fort." Celestia orders.

"Also, they are sending the captured ponies and supplies to us." The messenger says before all of them nod and run off.

"Supplies? Why would they send supplies?" Celestia asks.

"They probably captured a shipment with an ambush knowing Blitzy." Twilight says.

Celestia raises an eyebrow to her. "Blitzy?"

"My name for him." Twilight says.

Celestia frowns. "This is reckless now."

"He could have burnt it to the ground." Twilight points out.

Celestia groans silently. "Point."

Twilight sighs and takes out a picture of her and little Arcane and looks at it for a while.

Celestia leans in a bit. "Your son?" She asks seeing the mare before her holding a little colt.

"Now I know how Blitzy feels like." Twilight said in her own world.

"You will get him back. I am sure of it." Celestia says putting a hoof on her shoulder.

Twilight twitched a smile. 'She's getting back to her roots.' "Yeah, before or after Blitz burns the world to ash, looking for him?" Twilight asks.

Celestia sighs. "He would certainly find this son of yours first before doing anything else."

"Yeah and you see what bloody path he will carve to find him." Twilight says.

Celestia frowns as she looks over the horizon where the path is, trying to ascertain how much he could do.

"I can see reinforcements marching our way." Spinner says to Spitfire.

Spitfire frowns as she steels herself. "Prepare for a fight then."

"There ours." Spinner says making out the flag.

Spitfire sighs in relief. "Good. Go meet up with them and tell them everything."

Blitz gets up and jumps off the wall.

Rainbow frowns. "Where's he going?"

"Oh, why you becoming attached?" Pinkamena asks.

Rainbow huffs and looks away. "I'm not. Just of Sombra I'll do once he finds out."

"Looks like he is heading for the next fort." Fleetfoot says.

"We are never going to get a break are we?" A guard asks.

"Nope! Now move out!" Spitfire calls.

"I'll greet and get them up to date before catching up." Spinner says.

"Got it." Spitfire says as the gates start to open.

"Take the fort!" They hear from outside and a bunch of cheering.

Blitz walked with the rest of the division at a leisurely rate, only stopping outside the fort which was reinforced.

"Crosscut fences huh." He asks himself as looks at the other end of the fort.

"Great. Looks like Sombra has really reinforced this place. We can't even fly in with the crystal dome over the top." Rainbow says.

"The gate is also magical resistant and reinforced so magic won't work." Blitz says.

"So what are you going to do?" Spitfire asks.

"I will knock." Blitz says bringing up his left hoof and fires a rocket from it. When the rocket hits the gate, it was blown apart and thrown into the fort.

"What the…?" Spitfire stops at the sight.

Blitz says nothing and starts walking forward into the fort's new opening.

Spitfire shook herself out of the stupor and yelled. "Attack!"

The whole army yelled as they charge the fort and then metal clanging was heard as Blitz continues in his leisurely pace, either cutting down or smacking the defenders away before making it to the commander, his claws drawn.

It took less than an hour of fighting for the fort to fall after the shock of them losing their main gate.

"We did it!" A guard yells cutting the flag down.

"I can't believe it we took the entire Sombra supply route." Rainbow says.

Spitfire cheers as she jumps in the air. "Now this war is ten times easier.

Blitz just looks at the commander whose helmet he took off to find a crystal mare who was panting hard at the exhaustion. "The city is surrounded by a crystal wall." She said as he held her up from collapsing.

"And Sombra? Where exactly is he?" Blitz asks.

The mare looks up to him with tired eyes. "The main castle. Where many twists and turns have been made to stop anypony from getting in. If you want to get in, you have to follow his hoofsteps. I'm sorry I can't give more."

"Go join the rest and head along the supply line. Your part in this war is over." Blitz says.

The mare tiredly nods and leans into him. "Thank you."

"Spinner." Blitz calls.

Spinner perks his head up from the small cheering crowd and rushes over to him and salutes.

"Help her and the others get out of here." Blitz says.

Spinner nods and helps lead the mare and the others out with a group of soldiers following them.

"The crystal empire is all that is left." Blitz says.

Rainbow stops cheering and turns to him with a frown. "You'll never make it in."

"Making it here was also impossible." Blitz says stretching his wings a bit.

Rainbow goes a bit wide eyed. "You aren't doing what I think you're doing."

"I plan on removing the head of this snake." Blitz says.

Rainbow huffs. "You'll never make it to the castle before you are shot down."

"I'm not going to fly in." Blitz says.

Rainbow raises an eyebrow. "Then what, dig?"

"We besiege the city." Blitz says.

Rainbow looks shocked. "What?!"

"This will force Sombra to pull back his forces as his capital and he is now vulnerable. Doing so though opens up too many openings and will allow the main force to meet us here and then we besiege the city." Blitz says.

Rainbow held a glare on her face. "You intend to go on a suicide mission to wipe the city? You are crazy."

"No, simply the siege is a distraction while I slip in and kill Sombra." Blitz says.

Rainbow huffs. "So we are just useless ponies to you."

"Look me in the eye and tell me you can kill another pony and watch them plead to you with their eyes not to let them die." Blitz says.

Rainbow kept glaring at him as best she could…but it quickly faltered and she quickly looks away with a grunt.

"Don't become like me." Blitz says before walking away, surprising Rainbow.

"Did you just…try and stare him down?" Spitfire asks.

"And lost badly." Rainbow says.

Spitfire frowns slightly. "You might be more crazy than him then."

"You hear what he said at the end?" Rainbow asks.

Spitfire nods. "Yeah, don't become like him. He wants us to fight better, but not him…?"

"I can't make heads or tails of him." Rainbow says.

Spitfire sighs. "Maybe it's for the better."

"I'm wondering what he looks like now. He hasn't taken his helmet off since we met." Fleetfoot says.

Spitfire shrugs. "Maybe he's scarred."

"Oh, is that all miss romantic?" Fleetfoot asks.

Spitfire rolls her eyes. "What else supposed to be there?"

"I've heard you in your sleep fantasizing about the mysterious wounded soul." Fleetfoot says.

Spitfire shrugs. "It's a good one."

"Oh?" Rainbow asks.

Spitfire smiles. "Yeah, the wounded soul always gets the mare easy."

"Like you both and our mysterious stallion there?" Fleetfoot adds.

Spitfire sputters her lips and gives a small wave. "Please, he's got a mare already who I bet got banged three ways to Sunday."

"He did say he has a herd that she got him to form." Rainbow says.

"Really now?" Spitfire asks.

Rainbow nods. "Makes me wonder who he got. Wonder if it's also going through the other classes of ponies. I mean…he's a unicorn and she's a unicorn so…"

"Alicorn and right now, he is a pegasus with a nice wingspan." Fleetfoot says.

Spitfire leans over. "You thinking of another length right now?" She teased with a grin.

"You know the old saying." Fleetfoot says making both the other mares blush.

"Well…we still have a city left over." Rainbow said trying to change the subject and brings the blush down.

"Oh what is this? The no stallion mare blushing?" Maud asks.

Rainbow frowns and grumbles to herself.

"Oh where?" Pinkamena asks.

Rainbow mumbles louder.

The sisters turn and look at each other before chuckling a bit at Rainbow.

Rainbow groans.

"Go on Rainbow. Go talk to him." Fleetfoot says.

Rainbow rolls her eyes and walks off. "Fine."

"Oh, how will this end?" Pinkamena asks.

Spitfire smiles. "Want me to make a story?"

"Let's watch this train wreck unfold ourselves…by the way, what was that about an old saying?" Maud asks.

"Um…well…I…oh, we should find a good spot to watch." Fleetfoot says before running away and Spitfire follows.

"Well we now control the hill forts." Celestia says as her banner raises over the last one.

Twilight hums as she goes over the maps. "Maybe. Though there are little ones."

"Yes, but with the supplies cut, they will start to starve and be weak…" Celestia was cut off by a messenger pony running up out of breath.

"Breath." Twilight orders.

The messenger took a few moments to get his breathing in order before giving his message. "Fort Titan has fallen to us. The way to the capital lies exposed."

Twilight smiles. "Told ya, again."

"Titan has fallen." Celestia says having to take a seat.

Twilight nods as she gives her a bunch of maps. "Here, possible attack plans on the city."

"The city!?" Celestia yells in disbelief.

Twilight nods and goes to the nearby bed. "Yes. He intends to end this."

"But, that would mean drawing troops away from other fronts." Celestia says.

"Sombra is already doing it. His capital is exposed along with him. He is worried now." Twilight says.

Celestia blink. "I never believe such a black hearted demon would feel fear."

"Having his forces decimated and a march from one division that his best fortifications couldn't stop. It makes himself conscious and unsure if his power base is so secure." Twilight says.

Celestia frowns. "We have to stop him soon."

"Don't worry, this siege will be the end." Twilight says fluffing a pillow.

Celestia raises an eyebrow. "How can you be so sure?"

"Because he's in Blitz's sights now and that is the last place you want to be. In between Blitz and his foal. There are easier ways at suicide like jumping off a cliff." Twilight says.

Celestia tilts her head. "And you have seen him like this?"

"A few times it never ended well for somepony in the way…let's hope that the Crystal Empire's castle will still be standing when it is over." Twilight says.

Celestia gulps silently as she tries to keep a straight face.

"Ug…my pounding head." Rainbow says rubbing her head as she awoke.

"Are you okay?" A voice asks beside her.

"Yeah, I am…" Rainbow stops to look at the stallion beside her in the bed, his eyes still closed.

Blitz sighs as he kept trying to rest up. "If you want, you can get back to bed."

"Um…" Rainbow stops spotting Blitz's helmet on the counter of the room.

"Let me at least get a few more hours of rest." Blitz says.

Rainbow gulps as she looks him over before hearing a knock at the door and goes to see who it is.

"Hey, you ready to join the rest of the unit for morning drills?" Spitfire asks.

Rainbow blinks for a moment. "Um…sure."

"Good." Spitfire says pulling her out. "So where did you go last night?" Spitfire asks as they walk noticing Rainbow was out of uniform, but figured she took it off to sleep.

Rainbow sighs. "Where were we?"

"In drills or last night?" Spitfire asks.

Rainbow rubs her head. "What the heck happened?"

"You went off to talk to Blitzkrieg. You talked for a while then you both took the conversation to more private location and from there, I don't know." Spitfire says.

Rainbow gulps. "Do you know what happened or anypony else?"

"No, there was no sound or anything. Heck, Pinkamena added ten bits to the swear jar after losing that bet." Spitfire says.

Rainbow blankly stares at her.

"Ok, ok, so it was more like twenty." Spitfire admits.

Rainbow huffs. "Come on. Let's get training." She said walking away.

"So what did he look like?" Spitfire asks.

Rainbow scratches her head. "I don't remember. It was too dark."

"Dark?" Spitfire asks.

Rainbow nods. "I don't remember and just woke up. His face was in the dark too."

"What do you remember?" Spitfire asks smirking.

"Let's see…um…I remember something going inside…" Rainbow immediately stops.

Spitfire leans in. "What?"

"Nothing." Rainbow says quickly.

"He plowed you didn't he?" Spitfire asks.

Rainbow blushes beet red and glares at her. "I would know."

"And the red says you do." Spitfire says.

Rainbow huffs.

"So how was it?" Spitfire asks.

Rainbow blinks and looks at her confused. "I don't know."

"Oh, I see it was so good to you that it was too much to handle." Spitfire says.

Rainbow blushes hard again. "No!"

"Guess we can call you the no stallion mare anymore." Spitfire jokes.

Rainbow raises a hoof to hit her with.

"Superior officer." Spitfire says making her lower it.

"Damn you." Rainbow said.

"Remains between us." Spitfire says.

Rainbow scoffs. "It better."

"As long as you can get him to do me as well. I need to blow off some steam like you did." Spitfire says and Rainbow could not tell if she was serious or joking.

Rainbow raises an eyebrow. "Uh huh."

"What…ok, tell me how do you feel today?" Spitfire asks.

Rainbow hums. "Not bad really."

"Compared to the last month." Spitfire says.

Rainbow shrugs. "Really better than that time."

"And what is different from then and now?" Spitfire asks.

Rainbow shrugs. "I don't know."

"Nudge, nudge, wink, wink." Spitfire says.

Rainbow pushes her. "Shut up."

"You know I am right." Spitfire playfully pushes her back.

Rainbow groans out loud.

"Now come on. Let's see if you fly any better today." Spitfire says.

Rainbow huffs as she takes off. "About time."

'She is so happy to have gotten laid.' Spitfire thinks.

"You ok in there?" Spitfire calls knocking on the door after the sun was starting to set. "If you don't answer I am coming in." Spitfire calls and still no answer.

Spitfire says and opens the door and walks in and sees the lights were still extinguished. "Alright, let's get some light in here." Spitfire says before striking a match and starts lighting some candles in the room. Looking around she found Blitz's helmet on the counter and a form in the bed.

"Five more minutes alright?" Blitz asks tiredly.

Spitfire frowns. "Hey, we have to get ready."

"What for? Even if they march here double time the whole way with no rest, it will take nearly a week for them all to arrive." Blitz says waving a hoof at her.

Spitfire raises an eyebrow. "And how do you figure that?"

"Twilight will need to draw troops from other sectors of the war like Sombra will do now that the road to his capital is open to us." Blitz says.

Spitfire looks unconvinced. "Uh huh."

"Look, just let me sleep." Blitz says.

Spitfire sighs. "Look, it's best we move out and check things out."

"Has the gate been replaced?" Blitz asks as Spitfire walks closer.

Spitfire hums. "Not yet, but it's being worked on."

"Then send small scouts to watch and most repair that gate." Blitz says before Spitfire removes the covers.

Spitfire gasps as she backs off a bit.

"What is it now?" Blitz asks covering his head with his wings.

Spitfire gulps as she takes in the sight. "How about…food?"

"Not now Spits. Doesn't Sunrise need his mother?" Blitz asks.

Spitfire blinks. "Sunrise?"

"Spits, are you telling me you forgot the name of your son, whom you gave birth to? In which the said birth you needed a c section for both to live?" Blitz asks more asleep than awake.

Spitfire looks shocked at him. "Who lived?" She asked carefully.

"Yes, now please stop the bad joke. We have been married for what? Three? Four years now?" Blitz asks.

Spitfire frowns a little as she hears this. "Hey! Wake up!"

"Spitfire please, let me rest, I…oh my god, I just talked." Blitz says his eyes shooting open wide.

Spitfire huffs. "Yeah, now get up."

Blitz laughs nervously as he gets up. "You no doubt have questions." Blitz says.

Spitfire nods. "Oh yeah."

Blitz sighs. "I am from a parallel timeline." Blitz says.

Spitfire raises an eyebrow.

"Ok…how to explain this…ah, when you dam up a river, what happens if it doesn't stop?" Blitz asks.

Spitfire leans forward a bit skeptical. "Finds another way."

"Exactly the same applies with time. Let me put it like this, what would happen if some pony went back in time and stopped a major event from happening?" Blitz asks.

Spitfire slowly waves a hoof around. "Different events."

"Exactly. In my time, Sombra, although he came back, it was briefly before he was destroyed and he never got to enslave the crystal ponies again. In fact, the crystal empire became a protectorate of Equestria and a quite rich one at that." Blitz says.

Spitfire keeps an eyebrow raised. "And why should I believe you?"

"Because I am not lying and…" Blitz stops before bringing up a 3D projection of Spitfire and Sunrise. "That is Sunrise, our son in my timeline."

Spitfire stares at the projection. "Ours?"

"Yeah, you, Fleetfoot, and Rainbow are all in my herd. And if you can believe it, while you were pregnant, Soarin pissed you off so bad you got Twilight to turn him into a mare…though his sexuality didn't change." Blitz says.

Spitfire blinks, not sure what to say or do.

"Ok, you want absolute proof about it, ask me anything that you have never told anypony, even your own mother." Blitz says.

Spitfire hums. "My fetish."

"You love it when I tie you down to a table and just start spanking you before riding you roughly and twisting your nipples." Blitz says.

Spitfire blushes heavily as she gulps. "That could be any mare."

"You also wanted to be a fashion model when you were a little filly and then wanted to be a hoofball player in elementary school, then a hockey player in middle school. You didn't even consider becoming a wonderbolt until after you passed your tryout on the first time when Soarin begged you to come with him to the try outs to help give him confidence." Blitz says.

Spitfire blinks slowly at that. "How…?"

"You also had a secret identity for when you went out with Vinyl on the nightclub scene in high school. You used a dye to dye your mane purple and your coat silver and called yourself Burner." Blitz says.

Spitfire blinks as she kept watching him.

"Need any more proof?" Blitz asks.

Spitfire was stuck staring at him in shock.

Blitz sighs and waits for her to process everything and starts reviewing data Twilight sent him and letting her know he was up and awake. 'By the way, Spitfire got me to talk while half asleep so I will wait for you to yell at me when you arrive.' Blitz sends.

'Idiot.' She sends back.

'Love you.' Blitz sends with a picture of Aether.

'You got off this time.' She sends back.

'I was going to send the power of love, but then I thought, what about Cadance and Shining?' Blitz sends.

'I don't know. My whole family could have been sent somewhere else entirely.' She sends.

'…you asking Celestia?' Blitz sends.

'…maybe.' Twilight sends.

'Oh sorry, Spits is snapping out of it.' Blitz sends.

'Take pictures.' She asks.

Blitz snaps a picture and sends it to her.

'Not bad.'

'Though I prefer her mane to be longer in the back.' Blitz says ending a picture of Rainbow, Fleetfoot, and Pinkamena as well.

'Let's hurry this up. I want to go home already.' Twilight sends.

'You and me both…picture the looks on the other's faces when we show them these pictures.' Blitz sends before Spitfire taps his shoulder. "Ah, you take it all in?"

Spitfire slowly nods. "Yeah…sort of…"

"You miss having a longer mane by the way?" Blitz asks.

Spitfire blinks and runs a hoof through her mane. "Yeah…always."

"So, you believe me or you want me to go into your embarrassing teen stories you told me or the Vinyl told me?" Blitz asks.

Spitfire gulps. "No, it's fine." She said waving her hooves no.

"So please don't tell anyone…also, I can already tell you want to know about Soarin, right?" Blitz asks.

Spitfire slowly nods.

"She is in the herd and was pregnant." Blitz says.

Spitfire was surprised at that.

"So no telling anyone else got it?" Blitz asks getting really close.

Spitfire fearfully nods and tries to figure out how he got this close.

"Finally, we are here." Twilight says sighing.

Blitz raises an eyebrow. "Um…bad move Sombra. You literally have one way in and out."

"Yes, but good for us." Twilight says smiling before looking at Spitfire.

"Eep." Spitfire says.

"So have you given them plans for a siege weapon or and I going to have to try and pull down debris from space?" Blitz asks.

Twilight chuckles. "What do you take me for, an idiot?"

"No, but you can be forgetful and scatterbrained at times." Blitz reminds.

Twilight stops and stares at him. "Really?"

"Ah hem." Blitz says pulling out a list and takes a breath to start reading.

"Read that and the couch for a year." Twilight threatens and Blitz quickly shreds it.

"What list? I see no list." Blitz says quickly.

Twilight smiles. "Good boy."

"So what siege engines we using, catapults or cannons?" Blitz asks.

Twilight smirks. "Slingshots."

Blitz raises an eyebrow. "Slingshots?"

Twilight holds up a hoof. "Good thing there are some bat ponies who know how to do their jobs correctly."

Blitz blinks at that. "Secure the keys!" They heard and look over to the sound and sees the mine entrance.

Twilight smirks. "An old poem." She said waving behind her and they start setting up poles and large rubber bands.

"Slingshots." Blitz reemphasizing that.

Twilight nods. "Because, it's all the mining crew can get. Hit them from both sides and is more accurate. Heck, you can see where it might go."

"Ascend from darkness!" They heard.

"Well I best get ready to be fired." Blitz says.

Twilight laughs. "Sort of, yeah. Because the next one is…" She calls and points behind her. "Rain fire!" The crowd yells before she turns back to him. "There is one of a hoof of iron. But…launching time." She said pushing him away as firebombs came from the mining entrance.

Blitz smiles as he settles into the slingshot, before cloaking himself. Twilight smiles as she helps aim and steps away. "Wait for it…"

"Unleash the horde!"

"Now!" Twilight yells.

Blitz was fired along with several other rocks at the constructed crystal walls around the city and thus began the siege. Blitz used his pegasus wings to glide through the air as the ponies under Sombra's control rushed to the wall, allowing him to fly by unnoticed to all. Blitz then started to ascend to the top of the castle where Sombra was watching the siege.

"Skewer the winged beast!" Sombra heard and saw some rope hooks fly through the air before grabbing onto his statue and pulls it down.

Sombra growls and roars as he charges his magic. "Wield a hoof of iron!" The mining crowd yelled as some of them picked up the weapons and use it against them with the mining tools.

Blitz smiles to himself as he realized the last two steps and comes up behind Sombra slowly. "Raise hell!" The crowd and army yells as they rush the city as Blitz quickly taps Sombra's shoulder and slices his horn off with his claws before removing the rest of his head and then tossing the body off. "I am the reaper of justice and revenge Sombra." Blitz says appearing before him before he died from the decapitation.

"Freedom!" The crowd and army yells as the crystal ponies start to take off the armor and helmets.

Blitz stood there as the wind blew his cloak, making my look kind of like a new evil overlord.

Twilight smiles as she walks off toward the mine. "I know the crystals is here somewhere." She said as Celestia looked shocked.

"You ready Twi?" Blitz asks as Twilight had teleported them both back to the map after they got several crystals.

Twilight sighs as she starts looking them over. "Hard to believe this whole thing is over."

"Not yet, first we got to stop Starlight." Blitz says as Twilight casts the spell.

"That bitch!" Blitz cries as they were now in a huge jungle.

Twilight angrily pounds her hoof in the ground. "I should have known better."

"Oh, I am so going to hurt that cunt when I get my hooves on her." Blitz growls.

Twilight looks at him slightly surprised. "Wow, that's a new word for you."

"I try to restrain my words around foals." Blitz clarifies.

Twilight sighs and looks around. "Any case…where…" She stops as she looks one way. "Um…Blitz?"

"I see them." Blitz says sighing. "Get that thing out of my face Pinkamena Pie before you poke your eye out." Blitz says.

Pinkamena points a hoof at him. "Change changing pants."

"Oh, it's Pinkie Pie. Can Pinkamena come out to play? I have a knife for her." Blitz says holding a switchblade out like it was a dog treat.

Pinkie's mane immediately goes flat. "Give me." She said pointing the spear at him.

"You want it, go get it." Blitz says tossing it like it was a ball.

Pinkamena frowns. "You think I'm going to ah forget it." She said before quickly running off after the knife.

Blitz chuckles to himself seeing this.

Twilight scratches her head. "Huh." She said before looking to the other ponies who had spears pointed at them. "Well this is strange."

'Strange enough that I am feeling a familiar presence somehow.' Chrysalis suddenly piped up in her head.

"Look, put those away. You will more likely hurt yourselves than me." Blitz says smacking a spear away.

The spear immediately went let back to where it was and closer.

"I'm starting to think you want me to hurt you." Blitz says.

"We should just kill them." One said.

"Twi, may I lay the smack down?" Blitz asks before Zecora's voice was heard.

"Stop, if they are changeling's, we will soon see." Zecora says jumping down from a tree.

"Hum, Zebra shaman clothing, a variation from the customary type. Most likely used what she had." Blitz says.

Twilight rolls her eyes as Zecora takes out a bottle of some thick gunk. 'Um…Twilight?' Chrysalis pipes up again.

"Nuh uh, how do we know we can trust you?" Blitz says holding her hoof with the force to Zecora's surprise.

Zecora frowns as she looks to her hoof and tries to move it. "Do you, like me?"

"Ah, zebra custom trick question as part of the mate finding process. Now stop with your games please. I have no patience for it like how your father had no patience for your brother's tom foolery when he was teaching him how to fight with the spear." Blitz says.

Zecora stares at him as Twilight leans over. "Since when did you read up on zebras and…are you actually going for a zebra in the herd now?" Twilight whispered.

"A, in preparation for the safari and B, don't you think the herd is a little full already?" Blitz whispers.

Twilight raises an eyebrow. "You don't seem to mind with Ahsoka."

"We can talk about this later." Blitz says as Zecora starts getting over her shell shock.

Zecora quickly shakes her head. "Only way to make us stop with our life…is to speak of our own turf."

"Ok, I tell you what come with me and I will tell you something you won't believe and if it's true, you will believe anything I say and not tell them what I tell you?" Blitz asks.

Zecora raises an eyebrow and leans forward.

"Over there in sight of everypony, but far enough to where they won't eavesdrop." Blitz says glaring at a few under his helmet.

"Don't do it Zecora. It's a trap." Another said raising his spear more.

"Please, if I meant harm, you would already be dead." Blitz says with full seriousness that made Pinkamena have a flash of deja vu.

Zecora slowly follows him a bit away as they kept their spears pointed at Twilight as she inspects them. "You have the tie done wrong. This one is chipped and will fall apart on the next blow and this one's spear is bending too much." She said pointing to each.

"Ok. Twilight, my wife, is in fact a changeling pony hybrid and a queen at that. You and I both know Chrysalis wouldn't have need of such a thing, much less have a rival like that." Blitz whispers to her.

Zecora frowns. "Tell me something pony and I would understand more. What's the one thing I thought about most of the time when you are around?"

"That, I am unsure. I have a hard time reading you most of the time. Now, will you fulfill your end if what I say is true?" Blitz asks.

Zecora raises an eyebrow and holds up the open bottle and Blitz quickly looks to see Twilight having some on her wing. "I will." She said putting it away.

Blitz nods and sits as she starts to put more on Twilight and she glows a green and white at the same time in parts.

Seeing this, all of them back off. "What does it mean?" Pinkie asks.

Zecora smiles. "It means they are friends." She said before waving at them to follow and they step behind her.

"Twilight, you may begin explaining." Blitz says following.

Twilight sighs. "I should have a recording of this." She said before stating to explain their situation.

They soon reach the camp and Blitz stops. Twilight looks back at him. "What?"

Blitz removes his helmet and takes a deep whiff. "I smell a changeling." Blitz says.

Twilight holds up a hoof, but puts it down. "I'm not even going to question that."

"You shouldn't, considering what you are." Blitz says walking past, Zecora following closely.

Twilight raises an eyebrow. "So…what do you smell tracker?"

"That one." Blitz points to a filly and dawns his helmet once more.

Twilight sighs and walks up to the filly as she turns to Twilight and smiles before shrinking away at her sight. Twilight raises an eyebrow and puts a hoof on the filly's head before her eyes glow green. 'Ten years.' Chrysalis said going through the memories.

After taking her hoof off the changeling, Blitz walks up, looking menacing. "Now show your true form or I will remove your exoskeleton by dissection." Blitz threatens, using the force to amplify his menacing presence.

The filly gulps as it changes back.

Every one of the villagers were shocked they had a changeling in their camp. "This one means they know your exact location. You cut his connection to the queen to give her a surprise, right?" Blitz asks.

Twilight smiles as she looks to the changeling again as it bows to them both in fear. "You are still king."

"Yes, now let's get ready to welcome the rest, shall we?" Blitz asks before turning to the changeling. "You, hide in one of the huts." Blitz orders.

The changeling nods and quickly scurries off.

"Zecora, should we do something about the changeling in the village?" Pinkie asks.

Zecora shakes her head and shocks them as she kept watching. Soon they heard a shrill shriek.

"Help us!" They heard as some rapid hoofsteps were coming their way and soon Rainbow and Rarity came out of the jungle looking ragged.

Twilight frowns as the newcomers pleaded with the village. "You smell it too huh?" She asks as Chrysalis really woke up in her head.

"You have to help us, the changelings attacked Ponyville. We barely made it out with our lives." Rainbow says as Applejack caught up, looking the same shape.

Blitz, seeing this, walks up to Rainbow.

Rainbow blinks as she leans away a bit. "Um…help…not uncomfortably close."

Blitz then slugs Rainbow to the ground. "PATHETIC! YOU ARE A DISGRACE TO THE CHANGELING DISGUISE AND IMPERSONATING WAY!" Blitz roars in anger.

'Rainbow' groans as she gets up and has a bloody nose. "Wha…why…?"

"You know why? Don't you queen." Blitz says leveling a glare on Applejack before kicking Rainbow away.

'Applejack' seems to smirk as she walks up calmly. "Well…at least this one isn't an idiot." She said before receiving a punch to the face and sends her flying to hit a tree.

"You best recognize and respect a king of your own kind next time." Blitz says.

'Applejack' slowly gets up and looks at him in shock. "Ki…King?"

"Yes, do you challenge my authority?" Blitz asks.

'Rarity' hisses and launches herself at him, only to get some blades through her as Twilight appeared behind him. "Um…I could have turned them."

"This way is easier. As you know, challenging a recognized changeling king is not done lightly. Does any of the rest of your hive wish to challenge me now? Because I am ready to kill." Blitz says turning to 'Applejack'.

'Applejack' groans as she gets up. "There can't be a king. No way, no how."

"Oh, is that a challenge?" Blitz asks walking forward unsheathing his claws.

'Applejack' actually starts to shiver in fear as Blitz neared closer. "No, absolutely not. I am not challenging the authority of a changeling king."

"That is what I thought you said." Blitz says sheathing his claws.

Twilight walks up as Blitz heads back. "Submit control." She said looking at 'Applejack'.

"Never, I might not challenge a king, but I will not be relinquishing my hive." 'Applejack' says getting up.

"You get up now." Blitz says to the disguised Rainbow.

Twilight frowned before sighing. "I wish it wouldn't have to come to this." She said before closing her eyes. 'You all better stop!' Chrysalis yells from Twilight.

"Now first, stop humiliating the changelings and drop the disguise." Blitz says as most of the changelings in the area start walking up defeated.

'Rainbow' looks up to him fearfully before changing back.

"Now first, what has happened to the pony you disguised yourself as?" Blitz asks, a claw drawn once more.

The changeling chitters fearfully as the blade runs along its neck. "H…hive."

"I see, now tell me what is planned for her and the other two you came disguised as in?" Blitz asks neutrally.

The changeling chitters fearfully as Blitz brings up one of the claw blades up and starts sharpening it on a nearby rock. "Bre…Bre…" He tries to say.

"Breeding?" Blitz asks.

The changeling quickly nods.

"Has the process started yet?" Blitz asks.

The changeling quick shakes his head.

"Good, you're answering my questions truthfully." Blitz says before slicing the rock into pieces.

The changeling jumps at that.

"Now, next question, do you know what happens when a mate or one marked as his future mate is stolen from a king of the changelings?" Blitz asks.

The changeling gulps and shakes his head.

"Oh and it is even worse than challenging their authority. Now tell me, do you know how one becomes a king of the changelings?" Blitz asks.

The changeling shakes his head.

"Well first, one must be a great warrior." Blitz starts. "Then they must establish dominance and that usually means killing all that would oppose him, even a queen and must rule over the changelings with absolute authority, awe, and or fear so their rule will never be challenged again." Blitz finishes as he checks his flamethrower as it discharges some fire.

The changeling shivered in fear as Blitz got close to him again. "Now you understand where I am going with this?" Blitz asks nicely.

The changeling quickly nods, scared out of his mind.

"I expect to see them soon. Or I will start with you." Blitz whispers the last part to the changeling as his fear is felt by the rest of the hive. None of them aware of what the last two statements were, but they knew his words spread terror amongst this member of the hive the likes of which none of them had ever felt personally.

The changeling quickly runs off as Twilight was still standing in front of 'Applejack'. 'Oh just change already. This whole operation is blown.' Chrysalis sent and 'Applejack' slowly changes into Chrysalis. Twilight opens her eyes and stares long and hard at her. "We gave you chances, but this whole time, me and Chrysalis has been breaking all of the changelings' connection to the hive and making them ours. You are losing with every link gone. And the whole time we have been talking, we have broken twenty more. Twenty-one." She corrects herself.

The Chrysalis outside glares at her. "I'm Chrysalis! I'm the queen!"

Twilight raises an eyebrow. 'Oh shut up you hatchling. Always buzzing around like a little one trying to fly and smashing into everything on the egg room walls.' Chrysalis outside hears from Twilight, even though she didn't move her mouth.

"How…?" Chrysalis tries to ask, hearing her voice being called through the area.

Twilight sighs. "My version was dying so she passed her last remaining hive onto me, full of almost everything every queen has."

'Even the sex!' Chrysalis said happily.

Twilight rolls her eyes. "Yes, that too. Minus the changing part, I built the hive up again, this time consensually. It worked and now they are full-fledged citizens. I was able to unite the changeling race and make them all accepted now. They respect me there and all the respect, brings the power. I am an alicorn and I can kill easily. Every changeling that even tickles my mind would fall into fear once they see it. I am Twilight Sparkle, princess of Equestria, diplomat of my planet, queen of the changelings, wife of Blitzkrieg, the king of changelings, and have Chrysalis inside my mind to help run the show and she isn't happy right now. So if you want to go against me, you have to deal with him and my new recruits for the hive." She said as the changelings around them seem to have fear in their eyes as the village was in shock that these two new ponies just took down a whole army just by being there and a few words. "Now then, submit control." She said glaring slightly.

Chrysalis glares back, but a mind attack from Twilight's Chrysalis sent her reeling back. "O…okay." Chrysalis said finally.

Twilight sighs as she felt the many minds brushing up against hers. "Finally. Time to stand down." She said before walking to Blitz. "How are we doing?"

"How long will we be staying this time?" Blitz asks.

Twilight waves it off. "Until most of the ponies captured comes back. At least this one is faster and better."

"Then I am going to whip these changelings into shape in the meanwhile." Blitz says making a few eep.

Twilight smiles a bit. "Please do. These guys are leaner and have less muscle than ours."

Blitz smirks as he advances on the changelings.

"So have a good nap?" Blitz asks as Applejack, Rarity, and Rainbow were released from the pods they were stored in.

Rainbow groans as she rubs her head. "What the heck…? Did I get drugged or something?"

"No, you were captured by changelings and being stored until they were ready to use you in breeding." Blitz says relaxing in a chair as his armor was sitting not far away.

Rarity stops and blushes. "Bre…breeding?"

"They impregnate you and you give birth to the changeling eggs." Blitz says.

Applejack gulps. "That's…that's…"

"Not happening anymore right?" Blitz asks looking to the two cowering guard changelings guarding the door. The changelings nod quickly. "In my opinion, it's better than food. Which…come to think of it, are all ponies you capture stored in the same pods as your food until they are ready be used for something different?" Blitz asks.

The changeling gulps. "Yes." They both said.

"Hum and if memory serves, staying long enough in those pods turns you into a hybrid to full changeling if I recall correctly." Blitz says.

The changelings nod quickly again.

The mares seeing this go wide eyed. "WHAT!?"

"Hum…let me see." Blitz says getting up and walks over to them and starts inspecting them.

Applejack raises an eyebrow as he moves her head around. "Um…Blitzy?"

"Ah, so you remember me Jacky." Blitz says moving onto inspecting Rarity.

Rarity blushes as Blitz checks her closely. "Um…so…"

"Uh huh." Blitz says before moving onto Rainbow.

Rainbow frowns a bit. "Well? Tell me so I can rip it off."

"Well how many moon cycles were they in their pods?" Blitz asks.

"A month." Came the meek reply.

"I see. Then I am right, you three have already been turn into partial changelings." Blitz says.

Rainbow glares at him. "Tell me what part so I can take it out."

"It's more internal." Blitz says. 'And you've started forming the mental links with the hive, but only the most powerful can talk to you.' Blitz thinks.

Rainbow groans. "Which part?!"

"Vital organs are what changes first and you should feel your sex drive kicking up a few notches like most changeling females coming of age." Blitz says.

Rainbow stops and blushes hard.

"Let me guess, it's starting to hit, right?" Blitz asks.

Both Rarity and Applejack slowly nods as Rainbow remained blushing.

"Well it could be far worse. If you were fully turned, by the time you would snap out of it, you would be broodmothers." Blitz says motioning for the guards to leave.

Applejack gulps and raises a hoof. "Um…"

"Yes Jackie?" Blitz asks.

Applejack suddenly hugs him. "It's great to see you again."

"Thanks, though I bet not how you pictured it right?" Blitz asks petting her before putting her hat back onto her.

Applejack smiles. "Yeah, but what's with the chair?" She asks still hugging him tightly as she grinds against him slightly.

"I wanted to be comfortable. Say what you will, but changelings can build comfortable furniture." Blitz says petting her.

Applejack sighs as she relaxes against him. "That feels good."

"So…um…what are you waiting for?" Rainbow asks.

"Oh, for the effects of your sex drive to fully kick in." Blitz says.

They all blush hard as Applejack gulps. "Um…Blitzy…"

"It's either me or the soldier changelings and to save you from becoming broodmothers, had to claim you as my own." Blitz says.

They all blush harder and gulp. "Um…so…" Applejack tries to say as the heat inside her rises.

"You three still virgins?" Blitz asks.

They all nod nervously.

'Then I'll be gentle with you.' Blitz thinks really fanning the flames of their heat.

They really become shocked at that. "How…?" Applejack asks.

"You are part changelings now and I am the king of changeling's and just conquered Chrysalis's hive." Blitz says before kissing Applejack's cheek.

Applejack eeps and freezes.

Seeing this, the other two mares started advancing on Blitz.

Applejack gulps and starts grinding against him again. "Blitz…?"

"You can't take it any longer?" Blitz asks.

Applejack nods quickly as she leans against him.

"Then let's begin." Blitz says.

"So they enjoy it?" Twilight asks.

"Yes, they did and are resting." Blitz says.

Twilight sighs. "Too bad you can't stay."

"Now that I have bred with them, without us, they are the highest ranking members. I left a letter explaining everything." Blitz says.

Twilight looks to the large hive cave as most of the villagers start moving in. "You ever thought this would happen?"

"It was a possibility. Now take three with trying to get back to normal." Blitz says.

Twilight nods. "You ready to go back again?"

"Yes." Blitz says.

"Sonva…" Blitz cursed loudly.

Twilight slams her head on the table as they lost again.

"This time it was our own fault making a show out of it as we battled." Blitz says using his claws to cut a tree down.

Twilight groans. "Want some angry sex after this is over?"

"Ironically, Rainbow in the first one did that with me already." Blitz says using his flamethrower on some timberwolves. "Interesting in that one, she's a screamer."

Twilight groans out loud and shoots a magic beam at another timberwolf. "We don't have time for you!"

"How many crystals do we have before we have to get resupplied?" Blitz asks.

Twilight looks to her bag. "About ten more."

Blitz sighs before noticing something. "Hello, what is that?" Blitz asks seeing the moon.

Twilight looks up and sees a mare in the moon marking. "What the…even if we didn't stop her, there is supposed to be none of that."

"Hum and judging by the plant life, it has evolved to live in the night." Blitz says.

Twilight raises an eyebrow at the plants around them. "Wow, but…no…there is another problem. I'm sure you know as you traveled around space."

"How did it change so quickly to nighttime plants only?" Blitz asks.

Twilight shrugs as she keeps looking around. "Blitz, keeping the planet like this is a big problem. You know it."

"The planet is still moving or we wouldn't have gravity. The moon is most likely blocking the sun when it should be day." Blitz says.

Twilight nods. "And the planet would freeze."

"Lulu?" Blitz asks.

Twilight stops before looking to see a path on way. "We got a spot to go to. Let's hope it's another villain we defeated."

"Twi, I just thought of something." Blitz says following.

Twilight looks back at him. "What is it?"

"Does the Everfree seem to be bigger than all the other times or is the map changing locations?" Blitz asks.

Twilight looks at the forest height. "Strange, this isn't usually like that. Maybe it was to protect the plants here." She said before bumping into something hard and looks up to see an intricate black armor in front of her. "Oh boy."

"You find something?" Blitz asks.

Twilight looks up to a very blank face staring down at her. "We got bat ponies."

"One moment." Blitz says before force choking the pony.

Twilight quickly looks back to him. "Um…not a great start."

"He was about to attack you and now." Blitz says throwing him through some trees.

Twilight sighs. "Well…this universe is Nightmare Moon. Wait…I just thought of something."

"Maybe we will meet up with Shadow and my granddaughter?" Blitz asks.

Twilight shrugs. "Maybe. Maybe not. And that's if she remembers the history of her family. Would be funny if you spank her."

"I will find a paddle if she disrespects me." Blitz says as the castle comes into view.

Twilight looks back at him. "Would you do that to our foals?"

"Oh not unless they really deserved it I love them too much." Blitz says.

Twilight raises an eyebrow.

Blitz smiles. "I'll only do it on the foals if they misbehave badly." He said raising a hoof. "Mandalorian honor."

"Oh, who are you kidding, they just have to stare up at you with quivering lips and you cave." Twilight says smiling.

"You're right of course, but not for Lulu." Blitz says.

Twilight smirks. "But you cave for Terra."

"Terra is my daughter in law, it is not my place to punish her." Blitz says.

Twilight rolls her eyes. "Uh huh." She said as they walked across the bridge. "Do you still miss her?" She asks after a while.

"I miss all of…hello Shadow Runner." Blitz says.

The new armored pony reels back a little.

"Not bad, but I know how you sneak." Blitz says smirking.

The armored pony takes off the helmet and shadow with an almost buzz cut on her mane stood there. "I wonder; did she have time for a foal?" Twilight asks.

"I doubt it." Blitz says.

Shadow frowns at them and points a spear at them as more ponies come out with weapons posted at them too.

"Please." Blitz says before force choking all but her and tossing them around like ragdolls. "Now sexy, if I can do that, why didn't I do that to you?" Blitz says pushing away the spear and walking up to her.

Shadow doesn't say anything as she kept glaring at him, but backs up a bit.

"Take us to Luna, we have something to discuss with her." Blitz says not letting her get far.

Shadow frowns as she growls silently.

"Oh, then maybe I will tell your men what fetishes you have." Blitz whispers to her freezing her in place.

Twilight snickers as she watches. "List all of them to her." She suggested.

"Your first and favorite one is bondage done to you." Blitz whispers to her making her pale.

Shadow gulps as Twilight keeps snickering. "Keep going. We never get this chance."

"I will unless she agrees now." Blitz says smirking under his helmet.

Shadow keeps glaring at him as she keeps backing up into the castle wall.

"Oh, then let's go with the most humiliating one. You like to…" Blitz was stopped when Shadow put her hooves over his helmet where his mouth was.

Twilight groans playfully. "Aw, wanted to embarrassed her more."

"I give, come on." Shadow says putting back on her helmet to hide her now scarlet face.

Blitz snickers to himself as they follow her inside. "They aren't dead, are they?" Twilight asks seeing the bodies on the ground.

"No, only unconscious. If I wanted them dead, I would have snapped their necks." Blitz says.

Twilight sighs in relief. "Good. They are still ponies here."

"Odds of her leading us into a trap? I bet an absolute certainty." Blitz says.

Twilight hums. "Highly. Very much."

"Oh hey, it's Rarity." Blitz says.

Twilight looks to see Rarity in a less armored Nightguard outfit. "Rarity…? Um…" Twilight tries to say anything.

"Keep up Twi." Blitz says.

Twilight sighs and hurries to catch up to Blitz and Shadow. "I wonder what happened to everypony else."

"So those wings of yours still sensitive to the touch?" Blitz asks Shadow.

Shadow eeps and hurries up and runs ahead a bit.

Twilight giggles seeing this as they follow till they come to the throne room.

"So where's queeny?" Twilight asks jokingly.

Shadow turns to Twilight and stares in shock.

Twilight smiles as lightning strikes. "Just wanted her to get out here."

"She was on the throne Twi." Blitz says.

Twilight raises an eyebrow as Nightmare Moon appears on the throne. "Blitz, she's all yours. I got the state of their weapons." She said looking around at the guards having their weapons almost pointed at them.

"Oh, by the way, that one is Rainbow Twi." Blitz says pointing Rainbow out.

Twilight smiles as Rainbow takes her helmet off and waves. "Hi, you're wing armor is off by a few inches and making your wings pinch together."

"Ok, first, let's shed some light in here." Blitz says before clapping his hooves and all the candles lit themselves.

Nightmare blinks and glares angrily as she leans forward.

"When did we install so many candles?" Shadow asks.

"I needed the atmosphere for some potential stallions." Nightmare said.

"Boy, it must be really inconvenient for you when ponies applaud you." Blitz jokes.

Nightmare glares at him. "Who are you to speak to me like that?"

"Tsk, tsk, granddaughter of Hurricane." Blitz says as Shadow tries clapping her hooves and the candles go out.

Nightmare raises an eyebrow. "Hurricane."

"Commander Hurricane." Blitz says clapping his hooves again and the candles reignite themselves.

Nightmare gets up and slowly walks to him. "And who are to talk about my family in such a way."

"Because, I am your grandfather so show some respect." Blitz orders sending out a bit of his force energy influenced by the dark side.

Nightmare steps back a bit. "What are you doing?"

"Addressing my granddaughter, who I am about to discipline at this rate." Blitz says summoning a paddle.

Nightmare blinks at that. "What is that for?"

"To paddle you." Blitz says.

Nightmare frowns. "I am not some foal that I would easily…

"…OW!" Nightmare yells high pitched as she was the size of a foal as she was bended over Blitz's lap.

"Are you going to behave granddaughter or do I need to continue?" Blitz asks holding up the paddle.

"Never OW!" Nightmare yells as Twilight reads form a history book as those present could only watch with their mouths ajar.

"It says here that she sent Celestia to the moon. I would have thought she sent her to the sun so she doesn't have to see her." Twilight said.

"Have you learnt your lesson Lulu?" Blitz asks.

"YESSSS!" Nightmare yells as she cries.

Blitz puts the paddle away and holds his granddaughter in his hooves till she stopped crying.

Twilight smiles as she closes the book. "Ask her to release her sister."

"Be patient Twilight." Blitz says rocking Lulu.

Twilight sighs as Nightmare cries into his coat. "Strange though. Even without knowing much, she still treats you as family."

"Better, little Lulu?" Blitz asks removing his helmet.

Nightmare sniffs and looks up to him with crying eyes. "Why?" She cries.

"I discipline because I love you granddaughter." Blitz says nuzzling her making her giggle.

Twilight smiles as she walks up to them and hugs them both. "She's still your granddaughter, even though you have never been here."

"Ok. Lulu, come with me. Your grandfather will explain everything to you." Blitz says petting her mane.

Nightmare nods and hums as Blitz carried her off as Twilight sits near the chair and takes out the history book again. "Oh, there's one on griffons."

"So time travel is how you met grandmother? That explains how you are so young." Nightmare says.

Blitz nods as he looks around her room. "That is correct. You got your grandmother's brains I see." blitz says.

Nightmare smiles and blushes a bit. "Thank you."

"Now Lulu, you probably figured out already I can't be from your time as you would have sense some pony traveling back in time correct?" Blitz asks.

Nightmare nods. "Dark magic."

"Runs in the family I see." Blitz says letting the dark side influence his eyes to demonstrate.

Nightmare gasps. "Grandfather…"

Blitz then banishes the dark side from his eyes and raspberries her stomach.

Nightmare giggles as she tries to hold him back. "Grandpa." She laughs.

"So can you figure out how it is possible Lulu?" Blitz asks stopping.

Nightmare shakes her head. "Not really."

"Ok, I will explain because it is confusing. You see, a pony who we angered wanted revenge and decided the best way to do that was to go back and change something in the past that was very significant. Thereby stopping it from happening." Blitz says.

Nightmare stares at him as she listens. "So…how many times did you go back to fix it?"

"Counting this, three attempts. She is good though…Lulu, tell me, in your reign, did you ever come across something that can turn a pony into an alicorn or give them your lifespan?" Blitz asks.

Nightmare shakes her head. "Not really. Never thought about it."

"Consider this, if I can use this spell to go back in time and give Hurricane something like that, then?" Blitz asks.

Nightmare gasps. "Grandmother would still be around?!" Nightmare exclaims.

"Yes, so you think you can help?" Blitz asks.

Nightmare fiddles with her hooves. "I can try."

"That is all I can ask for little Lulu." Blitz says before kissing her nose.

Nightmare giggles and hugs his snout. "I love you grandpa."

"I love you too little Lulu. You know something interesting?" Blitz asks.

Nightmare tilts her head. "What is it?"

"I saw three of the mares in my herd in your employ, can you guess who they are?" Blitz asks.

Nightmare shakes her head. "Not really."

"Come on, guess." Blitz says scratching her behind the ears.

Nightmare smiles as she leans into his scratching. "The one you call Rainbow."

"That's one, can you guess the other two?" Blitz asks.

Nightmare hums cutely as she adopts a thinking pose. "The mare that turn the candles back on?"

"You don't know the name of your captain of the guard?" Blitz asks.

"Captain? She is my right hoof." Nightmares says.

"Oh, then can you tell me her name?" Blitz asks.

Nightmare hums as she thinks with her tongue sticking out.

"Sha." Blitz sounds out as a hint.

Nightmare gasps. "Shadow! That's her name!"

"Good girl, now if you guess the third, I will go get your chef to make you a moon cake." Blitz says.

Nightmare gasps and adopts her thinking pose again.

'Even if you can't, I will still do that.' Blitz thinks.

Nightmare hums before looking nice to him with her tongue still sticking out. "I don't know." She said muffled by her tongue.

"Rarity, the one who does your tapestry and clothes. Now it is mooncake time." Blitz says before picking her up.

Nightmare cheers as she rides in his hooves. "Yay!"

Twilight sighs as she had spent three days here. "The queen wishes to see you now." Shadow says.

Twilight sighs as she puts the books away. "Okay, let's go." She said following her.

Nightmare was standing in her lab, having just finished something when in walked Shadow and Twilight. "I see you have come."

Twilight smiles. "It's nice to see you too granddaughter."

"Shadow, you mind going and checking up on our other guest?" Nightmare asks.

Shadow nods and walks off.

"Odds she will be fucked by Blitzy?" Twilight whispers to her.

Nightmare looks to her. "Possibly high as grandfather is quite cranky at times."

"So what you working on?" Twilight asks.

Nightmare smiles. "Something for grandfather."

"Tell your grandmother little Lulu." Twilight says.

Nightmare sighs and groans slightly. "Something for grandmother."

"For me?" Twilight asks.

Nightmare shakes her head. "No, for other grandmother."

"Which one?" Twilight asks showing a list of names.

"The one that my father was born from." Nightmare growls a bit.

Twilight raises an eyebrow. "Lulu." She warns.

"What?" Nightmare asks.

Twilight points to her. "Anger."

"Fine." Nightmare says getting back to work.

Twilight smiles. "You're a good mare Lulu."

"Will you help or not?" Nightmare asks not appreciating the teasing.

Twilight chuckles. "Sure. Move over." She said starting to help her.

Shadow pushes her hooves together as she is held by Blitz while he rested a little. "Um…"

"You enjoy that?" Blitz asks.

Shadow gulps. "A bit."

"Only a bit?" Blitz asks petting her wings.

Shadow moans and leans back into him. "Yes."

"Oh, then maybe this time I should not just plow your flank but your second set of lips." Blitz whispers into her ear.

Shadow moans and leans her head back. "Just do it already."

"Very well." Blitz says before entering her.

Shadow moans heavily as Blitz lifted her up in his lap. "Bl…Blitz."

"Yes commander?" Blitz asks dropping her.

Shadow smacks her lips together and moans. "Who was I?"

"My wife, look at your subordinate over there and the mare who fixes the tapestry on the other side." Blitz says.

Shadow moans as she was dropped again and looks at the mares in the hall who were trying not to look in their direction, but their ear twitches once in a while. "What about…them?" She asks with a moan.

"Oh they know what you are going through. As Lulu sent them to me days apart." Blitz whispers into her ear.

Shadow groans out loud as she leans back onto him. "So…I'm…last?"

"And you get the longest of them." Blitz whispers into her ear.

Shadow lazily blinks as she tries to keep awake. "Wh…why me?"

"Because you had to wait the longest." Blitz says before Shadow screamed out in pleasure and fell asleep.

Blitz smiles and lifts her up off of him before putting her on the bed they gave him and covers her up. "Sweet dreams my mare." He whispered in her ear which twitches.

When Shadow awoke, she found she couldn't move and she was gagged. "Hmm huhmm?!" She asks muffled.

"Oh, awake are you Shadow dear? I hope you enjoy this? After all, this is part of your favorite fetish." Blitz says doing something she could not see.

Shadow tries to move her head and groans again to him.

"Oh, are you ready for the next round already?" Blitz asks rubbing her wings.

Shadow moans and tries to look at him.

"Now time to experience what you love my mare." Blitz says.

"I think we figured it out." Lulu says.

Twilight nods and holds out her hooves on the edge of the table before they hear a scream and the whole table shakes and she catches a jar shaking itself off. "Your grandfather can make anypony scream."

"Sounds like Shadow. Glad I told my guards to ignore the screams." Nightmare says.

"So you are sure this will turn a pony into a alicorn?" Twilight asks.

Nightmare sighs. "Only way to know is to try it out. But you may change more than necessary. Be careful."

"I hope this works and Hurricane will be with us. For the past few years, your grandfather has hidden away sadness and despair from all of us. We noticed, but could never figure out why until he told us about Hurricane." Twilight says.

Nightmare smiles. "I hope you will be happy then. But I fear of what may happen with the timeline."

"Yes, I am just glad you don't want to use it yourself." Twilight says.

"I admit the idea crossed my mind, but then I thought what if doing so makes my grandparents never meet and as such, father never born." Nightmare says.

Twilight smiles and hugs her. "Like I said, a great mare Lulu."

"Like grandfather said, I have my grandmother's brains." Nightmare says.

Twilight sighs. "Listen, I think it's time to change things up. Get your sister out of the moon."

"Even if I did now, it wouldn't matter. The moment you go back in time, this timeline ceases to exist." Nightmare says.

Twilight smirks. "Alternate universe theory."

"I don't believe so, but I will tell you, what if after you leave, we are still here, I will free her and look after my uncles and aunts that will be born." Nightmare says.

Twilight nods. "Good. But you have to get all of us together again because some of us is scattered. Come to think of think, I have never seen myself in any of these universes."

"Maybe it is for the best if you two were to meet, who knows what could happen." Nightmare says.

Twilight nods. "Try not too hard. He would be shy in the beginning."

"If what you told me is true, grandfather isn't even on this planet." Nightmare says.

Twilight nods. "It's not until the me here has become an alicorn. You may have to speed some of the lessons and problems with the help of your sister."

"I'm keeping the crown." Nightmare says.

Twilight raises an eyebrow.

"I had this personally fitted for me. I am not giving it up or my comfy chair." Nightmare says making Twilight snort and giggle.

"Yeah, it's a very comfy chair." Blitz said walking in.

"So how was Shadow?" Twilight asks.

"In pure bliss and most likely pregnant." Blitz says.

Nightmare sighs. "I'll make sure she has her foal."

"You will be their role model Lulu." Blitz says hugging her.

Twilight snorts and giggles. "Though it would be funny if Shadow met this universe's Blitz and told him that I have already have your foal."

"Not the same thing Twi and our universe no longer exists and until we correct it, it will never exist." Blitz reminds.

Twilight rolls her eyes. "Let me have my fun."

"I could take you to Rainbow and Rarity before we leave and have some fun." Blitz says.

Twilight smiles. "I already did before we left. I remember you being particularly rough on me. Kinda talked about teasing me about letting the changeling guards in and having them watch."

"You have changeling guards?" Nightmare asks.

"King of them." Blitz clarifies.

Twilight smirks. "Queen."

"How many did you kill?" Nightmare asks.

"Without firing a shot." Blitz says.

Nightmare blinks surprised.

"Take care Lulu." Blitz says leaving with Twilight who took the potion with her.

Twilight looks sadly to Blitz. "Are you going to be okay to do this?"

"It is worth a shot." Blitz says before walking quietly to the map without another word.

Twilight wraps a wing around him and pulls him close. "It's okay." She said as they make it to the map and pulls out a crystal.

"Take four." Blitz says.

"And that's another try. How good is she?" Blitz asks as they drop onto the map.

"There is Discord chasing your granddaughters." Twilight says.

"Moving on." Blitz says annoyed.

Twilight groans as she brings out another crystal as all three look over and Blitz gives an I'm watching you look.

"How did you hit Rainbow?" Blitz asks before looking over at the sight of Terek blowing everything up. "This world is gone." He said and Twilight already sent them on their way.

"And this place smells of capitalism." Blitz said as he looks and sees Flim and Flam farming the trees directly. "Prepare another. Hey Flim, Flam! What are you going to do when everything runs out?! Where's the bits going to come in then?!" Blitz shouts to them as they look over and looks back to the last tree in the field they are about to cut and then looks to the empty field as Blitz and Twilight disappeared.

"Twi, how many do we have left?" Blitz asks as she blocked Starlight's shot.

Twilight grunts as she keeps blocking. "Two more."

"And she sho…you're coming with us this time!" Blitz says using the force to throw her into the portal as they get sucked in.

"Welcome to what you created. The only floors here are a desolate wasteland with bad shrubbery and tumbleweeds for some reason." Blitz said relaxing in a chair as he looks at a tumbleweed tumbling by him as Starlight looks out to the wasteland. "Twilight, please give a lecture about our best guess of what happens when you fuck with history especially the huge event like an explosion of magical power that is seen at least by all of a country." Blitz says.

Twilight started lecturing Starlight and lets her know all of this, the death all those who were never born we're her fault, making her one of the world's most notorious murders.

Blitz sighs as he tries to relax with his hooves up on the table. 'Oh Twi. Lost the sense of using friendship anymore huh?'

"No, no, friendship could have caused all of this." Starlight denied.

"It's not about that anymore. You fool. You are so smart, but you can't fucking understand every action has consequences. I don't know what series of events lead up to this, but I do know there is a greater plan at work and by changing any of it you bring disaster upon all. Equestria is gone now." Blitz says angrily.

Twilight raises an eyebrow as she looks around. "That kinda begs the question, what universe is this?"

"It isn't a universe Twi. It is a different timeline created because somepony's ego was bruised. That is all about, your ego was hurt when you were proven wrong and your lies came undone. That is the true reason you did this, no matter what you say." Blitz accuses.

Starlight levels a glare at him. "You don't know my history so how can you say that?"

"Try me. You think you are the only one who has a hard life. Oh bo ho you. You are not the only one in existence who has suffered and every day someone suffers worse that you. I could literally kill you for what you have done. You murdered my foals." Blitz says slipping further into the dark side.

Starlight tries to hold a glare at him, but it was now faltering. "Blitz." Twilight calls.

Blitz takes a deep breath. "Try me, let us see what made you this way." Blitz challenged.

Starlight's glare was brought back and she fires a spell at the map, opening up another portal before they were all sucked through it.

"Okay, so where are we now?" Blitz asks landing on a patch of grass this time and not the table before looking to Twilight. "And don't correct me in saying when please."

"It is when." Starlight said walking up to a house.

"Remember, I can still kill you." Blitz reminds.

Starlight frowns as they all peek inside a window and sees two foals messing around with some books and turning it into a stack.

"That's you huh…you know, it occurs to me if I kill your foal self, this will never have happened." Blitz says making Starlight sweet.

"And all you done will be unfolded as this would have never have happened." Starlight warns.

"So you best make me care enough to not take that chance because the option is now on the table, remember that." Blitz warns.

Twilight bumps Blitz's side and motions for Starlight to continue.

"Sunburst and I did everything together. In fact, I don't remember us ever being apart until today." Starlight says before they watched as starlight got his cutie mark.

"Sunburst. That rings a bell for some reason." Blitz says thinking. "Oh yeah, I have a captain named Sunburst in the fleet." Blitz says.

Starlight huffs. "Please, it's a somewhat common name and I doubt it would be him."

"Ok, the name of this town is Mayweather and his birthday is March 18th." Blitz says.

Twilight hits his side. "Shut up and let her talk for once."

"How did you know that?" Starlight asks.

"Personal file. Everyone has one in the military. Comes with keeping track of records and stuff for organization." Blitz answers.

Twilight facehooves. "Great. I'm going off to the side." She said walking away a bit.

"Stay." Blitz says pulling her back. "So all of this because you fell out of contact?"

"Yes!" Starlight yells.

"Alright, use the spell again take us to the night pirates attacked Manehattan and the royal guards burnt the city to try and stop them." Blitz says.

A portal quickly opens above them and pulls them away and drops them off in an alleyway.

"Why are we here?" Starlight asks as Blitz watches the orphanage as the city burned in the distance around the port. Soon a hooded figure walked out of an alleyway and looks around. The figure then quickly moved to the orphanage and laid a bundle on the doorstep and seemed to whisper something to it before running off.

"Go check the bundle." Blitz says taking off his helmet when the figure was out of sight.

Starlight ended up confused and moves to it and slowly moves the bundle a bit aside to see a foal. "So…it's a foal." Starlight asks.

Blitz only looked at her before she looks back and forth between it and him.

Twilight walks up to him. "I'm sure you can do the math."

"You don't mean this is you." Starlight said in disbelief.

Blitz says nothing and goes up to the door and knocks hard before the three got out of sight.

They get into the alleyway as the door opens and a clothed mare comes out and looks around before looking down and gasping before picking up young Blitz and carries him inside.

Blitz and the two walk away. "I was abandoned at birth by my mother as my father had died." Blitz says.

Starlight stares at him as the portal opens up again and they end up at a city. As they sat on the cloud, Blitz showed her the night his step parents died and his abduction by aliens.

"You think your life was hard now?" Blitz asks.

Starlight just stares as the ship leave the planet.

"They stuffed me in a container from there and I was to be merchandise. It was only by luck that the mandalorians raided the ship and found me. From there, all I learnt how to do for the rest of my childhood was to be a warrior and fight." Blitz says putting his helmet back on as the portal opened.

Blitz stood silent, watching the race as Twilight started talking to Starlight, explaining that friendship isn't something that can be lost so easily. Though the lives you may take different paths, the bonds you forged will never truly disappear. They will always be in the heart. Or something like as Blitz only half listened and watches the young Rainbow fly past and eventually make the Sonic Rainboom.

Blitz smiled as his one day to be wife looked incredibly pleased and the rainboom was seen across the country. Then the portal opened up and the three were drawn into it.
